Sette Osteria

Wynwood has gained an outpost of the 15-year-old Washington, D.C.-based Italian restaurant Sette Osteria. The eatery serves a robust selection of house-made pastas, pizzas, and larger entrées, along with dozens of wines. The eatery offers elevated interpretations of classic Italian recipes. When it comes to the bar, expect Italian sodas, sangria, beer, and a unique […]

The Seven Dials

The hearty fare of Britain at first doesn’t seem like it has a place in sweltering, body-conscious Miami. But in the hands of Seven Dials chef and owner Andrew Gilbert, plates such as bangers and mash, oxtail soup, and fish and chips meld with the tropical atmosphere. Simply take a look at the last dish […]

Seven Seas Restaurant & Fish Market

Don’t let its proximity to the Design District fool you: Seven Seas Restaurant & Fish Market is all about the food. Here, order a seafood empanada. Perfectly flaky dough envelops tasty crabmeat. The shrimp paella pairs well with sides of sauteed spinach and fried plantains, both of which are delectable. The crustaceans are plump and […]

Sexy Fish Miami

In a city of excess, Sexy Fish manages to be…excessive. This Miami outpost of the London-based flagship of the same racy name is an over-the-top under-the-sea fantasy decorated with millions of dollars’ worth of art, including a giant living aquarium wall, pieces by Damien Hirst – even bathroom installations (a lifelike mermaid in the ladies’ […]

Shaddai Fine Lebanese Cuisine

Tucked away in the corner of a Pinecrest strip mall is the urban culinary oasis Shaddai Fine Lebanese Cuisine. You’ll find three floor lamps of varying heights and colors, three wooden camel statues, and a wall adorned with three swords. Nearby are three booths. Are these trios symbolic of the Holy Trinity? Perhaps. The Bethlehem-born […]

Shake Shack

Before LeBron James signed with the Miami Heat, the biggest hype in town was centered around Shake Shack. With ongoing, breathless media coverage, this New York City-based burger joint was hailed as the Second Coming. The results have been mixed at the self-serve South Beach hot spot. Some patrons are already addicted to the thick […]

Shantel Lounge

If you’re tired of Sunday fundays that are all about football or dog parks – Shantel Lounge’s Sunday Fish Fry will be a welcome change. Fried fish and live R&B in a one-of-a-kind Liberty City, edge of Allapattah setting will shake up that weekend routine. Or drop by the other days of the week (when […]

Sherwood’s Bistro & Bar

At this quaint spot in Miami’s fast-growing Little River neighborhood, well-known restaurateur Barclay Graebner’s crew treats you like family. It starts when you take a seat and a server presents you with a massive wheel of Grana Padano, then encourages you to take a hunk. A stack of oversize house-baked cookies sits nearby. They’re perfect […]

Shibui

This Kendall sushi joint always draws a crowd, no doubt because of its magnificent food, enchanting service, and homey atmosphere. Unagi, California rolls, shrimp, salmon, and tuna are all beautifully prepared. Teriyaki, katsu, stir fry, sukiyaki, and tempura dinners all are also excellent. And you have a choice between traditional American seating downstairs or Japanese-style […]

Shing Wang Bubble Tea Cafe

Shing Wang signals the arrival of Miami’s first all-vegetarian Chinese restaurant and one of its few purveyors of Taiwanese shaved ice and bubble tea. The latter is a milkshake-like beverage made from powdered milk, sugar, tea, and choice of main flavoring ingredient (mango, taro, etc.); viscous pearls of black tapioca pile up in the bottom […]

Shingo

Although there are plenty of new omakase restaurants in Miami, one truly stands out from the rest: Shingo in Coral Gables. Helmed by fourth-generation master and award-winning sushi chef Shingo Akikuni, the 14-seat counter in Coral Gables is like a teleportation device to Osaka, Japan. Here the premium fish sourced entirely from Japan is sliced […]

Shinju Japanese Buffet

Buffets can be iffy — just how long has that food been sitting there? What, exactly, is in that sauce? There are none of those concerns, though, at Shinju, which operates locations in South Miami-Dade as well as Broward and Palm Beach counties. The brisk turnover and high attention to quality make this place a […]

Shiver’s BBQ

Shiver’s is an institution – that’s what they call you when you’ve been in business for 57 years. The requisite weathered, log cabin/picnic table-and-bench decor remains in place, with obligatory cattle horns and horseshoes on the walls. Chicken, pork, and beef go into two hickory-fueled smokers (some of the meats for up to 12 hours) […]

Shoji Sushi

The third in a block-square eatery empire run by Nemo/Big Pink’s owners, this beyond-sushi bar is, simply, a class act. And the sushi is equally cutting edge. Try a spicy lobster roll with avocado, salmon caviar, tender shiso leaves, and the hot/sweet counterpoint of jalapeño and mango; a California roll upgraded with delicately sweet, fresh […]
