“Enso is an evolutionary solutions workshop which creates the scientific study of deliciousness.” So begins the insanely inventive, thoroughly audacious menu at this new sushi/hibachi/Mediterranean deconstructionist establishment on Lincoln Road. Each of a dozen main courses is categorized as “Study,” “Analysis,” or “Inspiration”; some come fragmented into four. Yellowtail, for instance, brings hamachi meatballs; a […]

Despite the name, this haven from the Lincoln Road fashion parade is actually more rock bar than Irish pub, and the paraphernalia on the walls suggests “football,” not “Saint Patrick.” The blue glow emanating from the long, glass-block bar is practically the only light in the place, aside from the flicker of the numerous TV […]
Fish Fish in North Miami occupies the same strip mall as a bank, a dry cleaner, and a pizza place. Despite its ordinary setting, though, this seafood restaurant is beyond quirky. Take the Baja fish tacos. Tucked into warm tortillas, grilled strips of grouper are perfectly cooked and covered in the expected pico de gallo. […]
Like the West Coast’s renowned family-owned In-N-Out Burger chain, East Coast eatery Five Guys (whose original family-owned restaurant opened in 1986, nearly 40 years after I-N-O) has retro 1950s décor and serves a limited specialized menu centering on hand-formed fresh – never frozen – burgers, and fries made from fresh potatoes. But there are differences, […]

Five Napkin Burger’s 114-seat corner venue (with 96 more seats outdoors) features shiny subway tiles on the walls and meatpacking racks with hooks hanging overhead. Somehow this translates to a dining room as warm and cozy as an oyster bar. No oysters are served here, but executive chef Andy D’Amico’s diverse menu dishes sushi, steak […]
Ask nearly anyone in Miami, and they’re likely to tell you that their favorite place to have an unpretentious round of drinks is Flanigan’s. Joe “Big Daddy” Flanigan opened the first Flanigan’s in 1959 in Pompano Beach. The nautical-themed bar was a hit for its ice-cold beer, fresh seafood, and baby back ribs. The only […]
Despite the kitschy mounted fish, beer koozies strung about like garland, and a jukebox that always seems to be playing the Chemical Brothers, it’s hard to hate a restaurant that serves something called a Joe’s Meal Deal: a full rack of award-winning baby-back ribs, caesar salad, choice of side, three garlic rolls, and soda, all […]

The Forge is as famous as any South Florida restaurant not named Joe’s Stone Crab. After a $10 million renovation, the museum-like mahogany interior has been lightened and brightened to invigorating effect. Yet the six cuts of proffered beef remain the most sought-after entrées. Pair a steak with a glass of wine in one-, three-, […]

For seven decades, Fox’s Sherron Inn was Miami’s dark bar: a place to drink martinis, canoodle with a secret paramour, or forget your troubles with (or without) a buddy. Fox’s closed in July 2015, but Lost Boy & Co.’s Chris Hudnall and Randy Alonso (see also Tropezón and Brother’s Keeper) have reconstituted the joint as […]
You know a restaurant has tapped into those wacky Californians when you can eat Mexican-style chicken eggrolls, caesar salad, herb-marinated and grilled skirt steak, spinach-sausage lasagna, and chocolate souffle all in the same meal. Throw in a mostly California wine list, affable servers without a shred of Miami’s infamous ‘tude, and an ambiance so relaxed […]
