Bonefish Grill

The best of our national upscale-casual dining chains offer comfortable, attractively designed dining rooms; fresh, flavorful cuisine; cheery service; and family-friendly prices. That’s Bonefish Grill in a clam shell. The Kendall branch grills up fish and does it well — ahi tuna, grouper, mahi-mahi, and so forth. One bone to pick with Bonefish is that […]

The extensive gin-focused cocktail menu lets guests choose from 15 gin-and-tonic botanical variations, from a green apple and thyme infusion to grape and […]

Bougainvillea’s Old Florida Tavern

The best neighborhood bar is the one closest to home, and Bougainvillea’s, a snug, self-described old Florida tavern near the Shops at Sunset Place, is exactly that for those who live in the Greater Coral Gables/Pinecrest/Kendall triangle. Built inside a ’40s-era cottage, it’s a fine place to sip wine and contemplate humanity or to down […]

Buffalo Wild Wings

Buffalo Wild Wings was founded in 1982 when a guy from Buffalo, New York traveled to Ohio to judge an amateur figure skating competition and failed to find any wings that measured up to the ones at home. Now B-Dubs, as it likes to call itself, has spread to nearly every state in the U.S. […]

Burger & Beer Joint

This sister location to the South Beach Burger & Beer Joint has the same rock & roll attitude. It’s a sports bar, lounge, and restaurant. This should come as no surprise, because it is the creation of Automatic Slims’ owner and a former general manager of SushiSamba. If you look at the 99 beer varieties […]

Burger & Beer Joint

This South Beach hangout has more attitude than a Hell’s Angel. OK, perhaps that’s pushing it a little, but it’s a sports bar, lounge, and restaurant that is definitely more than just a tatted-up Mickey D’s. (This should come as no surprise, because it is the creation of Automatic Slims’ conceptual owner and a former […]

The Butcher Shop Beer Garden & Grill

Located in Wynwood, the Butcher Shop Beer Garden & Grill boasts an innovative concept – mashing a beer garden with a restaurant/butcher shop. Inside, a 24-foot meat case shows off cage-free Cornish hens, house-made sausages, chorizo, and cuts of USDA Prime Black Angus beef. Outside, a square bar serves craft beers, like Wynwood Brewing’s IPA, […]

Cafe Floridita

From the outside, Cafe Floridita looks like any dilapidated downtown takeout joint – a scraggly awning and smudged display are nestled into an extremely busy coffee window where servers are more interested in speed than stellar service. The inside is nothing fancy either – a bright and clean Formica lunch counter surrounded by no-frills tables. […]

Cafe Martorano

Steve Martorano is, bar none, Broward County’s most colorful restaurateur. For more than two decades, Cafe Martorano has been turning out Philadelphia-style Italian comfort food with a side of entertainment. Though its old-school menu of Italian classics – such as chicken cacciatore and pappardelle with sausage – are delicious, regulars flock to the restaurant for […]

The Capital Grille

This high-end steak house for the high-powered adds some carnivorous class to the downtown riverside scene. A meat locker in the middle of the dining room, where the beef is dry-aged, gives you a good idea of what’s on the menu; a 400-plus selection of wine gives you a lot of ideas about what to […]

Capri Restaurant

This Italian throwback looks like a roadside stop for the likes of Mom and Pop Walton making their way from the sinful Miami to a kitschy Keys resort. Since 1958, Capri Restaurant has been doling out old school Italian favorites like fettucine alfredo ($14.59), stuffed shells ($10.99), antipasto ($10.99) and meat lover’s pizza ($10.99) and […]
