Locals flock to this eatery for creative and distinctive food and drinks in a relaxed and rustic setting. The Federal’s distinctiveness cannot be overstated: You won’t see crispy omassum tripe with barbecue powder and maple-syrup dipping sauce; jar-o-duck with candied sweet potatoes and charred marshmallow fluff; or Buffalo-style pig wings just anywhere. The so-called wings […]

Don’t sleep on one of Miami’s best seafood restaurants. Located in the heart of Brickell for more than two decades, the River Oyster Bar is one of Miami’s top happy-hour spots for busy professionals and locals alike. The menu offers modern twists on classic seafood dishes – and a reprieve from the Miami heat in […]
The Spillover is more than just a good time. It’s also polished, with managers sporting tailored suits and an extensive list of entrées riding alongside all the sandwiches. Try a whole fish, often supplied by whatever the spearfishermen from Trigger Seafood are catching, or grab one of the 15 daily orders of barbecued gator ribs. […]
Though “gastropub” is an overused term, Tipsy Boar defines it. Mosey up to the bar and peruse the giant chalkboard of more than 40 different beers that rotate almost daily. The bartenders also know their way around a cocktail, whether you seek a well-made margarita or just a Scotch with a splash of water. Tipsy […]
Tobacco Road’s claims to fame are numerous: Oldest bar in Miami. Ex-downstairs neighbor to Miami New Times‘ first office space. Greatest outdoor seating this side of South Beach. Now, thanks to a recent revamp that left the nicotine-stained, beer-soaked ambiance but added some gleam to the indoor stage, the Road can add another accolade to […]
When Tobacco Road closed in 2014, more than a century of Miami drinking history went poof. The “Road” had many lives, serving as a brothel, a bakery, and a place where every major blues artist played (as did a ton of minor ones). So it only makes sense that this legend got a new life, […]

Tongue & Cheek, a relaxed dining room in South Beach’s South of Fifth neighborhood, belongs to Jamie DeRosa and Michael Reginbogin — both former employees of the Dream South Beach Hotel, where DeRosa cooked under celebrity chef Geoffrey Zakarian at the restaurant Tudor House. But DeRosa’s current dining room is unlike his previous refined setting. […]
The full-servive Town Kitchen & Bar provides breakfast (on weekends), lunch, dinner, and even late-night dining. Specialties include traditional dishes in most genres – such as beef, pastas, and seafood – and there’s an extensive list of appetizers and salads. Highlights include braised beef short-rib egg roll, grilled Caribbean jerk churrasco steak salad, and grilled […]
Trust & Co.’s name pays tribute to the trust and integrity of the early 20th Century. And with that, the Coral Gables restaurant promises to employ the best possible local ingredients without cutting corners. Consequently, the menu changes seasonally, and when chef Pablo Zitzmann and his team can’t find products that meet their standards, they […]
Diners are started with hot spherical puffs of pretzel rolls, the type you can still get on the streets of American cities, but much fresher. A wide array of bar snacks — olives, Marcona almonds, bruschetta variations, and the like — can come in handy for munching with predinner drinks. Seafood plates among them — […]

The true test of a great dining establishment isn’t how impressive it is when it debuts but whether the quality of food and service remain consistently high year in and year out. The unfathomably overlooked and perennially underrated Two Chefs has never been better. Some of the original signature dishes – such as a flaky-crusted […]
Stephen Starr has a new Miami Beach eatery, Upland. The modus operandi is “to make guests feel like [the restaurant is] lucky to have them, not that they’re lucky to be here,” explains Upland’s top toque, Justin Smillie. Before linking arms with Starr to open the original Upland in Manhattan two years ago, Smillie earned […]
Vagabond Kitchen & Bar (no more “Restaurant” in the moniker) in the MiMo District is heir to the place that chef Alex Chang vehemently tried to get locals to embrace. The task of attracting customers to the Biscayne Boulevard eatery now falls upon Julian G

The Village Chalet Restaurant works on several levels. Visiting the quaint place hidden inside the Cauley Square Historic Village is like traveling back in time to an Old South restaurant. Service and setting are reminiscent of less harried days. At night, the Village Chalet turns into an underrated entertainment venue with live music. The atmosphere […]
Wagons West is the perfect place for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. Don’t expect a slice of cantaloupe or complimentary mimosas, though. Instead, get ready for wisecracking waitresses and potty-mouthed cooks. But that’s exactly what gives this small, narrow, and heavily wooded anomaly in ritzy Pinecrest its charm. Pop in wearing a T-shirt and jeans, or […]
Whisk is warm and welcoming, with a clean and uncomplicated decor. A one-page menu echoes the restaurant’s comfort level with familiar and popular American favorites such as fried chicken, cornbread, low-country shrimp ‘n’ grits, and the good old BLT. The staff is all smiles, and at the end of the meal, the patrons tend to […]
