The difference between Westernized and typical Chinese cuisine is crystal clear at South Garden Chinese, which serves both. One side of the menu offers Americanized goodies such as crab Rangoon, egg drop soup, and General Tso’s chicken. Flip the menu over and do as the Chinese do, with more complex traditional dishes. The crisp fried […]

You’re probably thinking, “This is in Fort Lauderdale!” but trust us, this hidden gem is worth the drive from Miami. In the 1970s, when it opened, Fort Lauderdale was still a very undeveloped little beach town, but it was the home to one of the finest seafood restaurants in South Florida. Over the past fifty-plus […]
There exists an earnest, unpretentious beauty to Soya, like some strangely seductive and rustic trattoria you might accidentally stumble upon on an ancient cobblestone side street of Venice. “Simple food made with love” is the motto here, and the first bites of melanzane alla parmigiana – cleanly fried eggplant sprightly sauced and cheesed – makes […]
Located on a previously woebegone, restaurantless strip of Biscayne, Soyka was a pioneer offering for Bay Point and Upper Eastside locals to hang out. Its bistro fare includes burgers, elaborate salads, and upscale sandwiches such as the turkey club on country toast. Designer entrees, which can be pricey and uneven, include seared salmon with spinach […]

Like its namesake, Marie Waite – the 1920s South Florida rum runner who outran the Coast Guard smuggling booze across the Florida Straits – this West Kendall brewery is a South Florida legend. Amid the dozens of breweries that have opened in the past several years, Spanish Marie manages to stand out. Here, co-owners Alby […]
Spartico is all about the crisp, classic Roman-style pies cooked up in the on-site, Milanese wood-burning oven. Garlic bread comes from the same oven, and it’s a pungent, doughy treat worth the extra calories. Guests to this Coconut Grove outpost can add a whole host of gourmet options to their particular pie, including Porcini mushrooms, […]
Keep it in the Grove for Easter! Chef Gaetano Ascione of Spasso (3540 Main Highway) promises a brutally delicious full-fledged buffet complete with a dry-aged Chicago prime rib for the carving station, house-made pastas such as Italian tortelloni with black truffle sauce, egg-cellent frittatas, and many more options. Price includes unlimited mimosas. Brunch is from […]
Frugal diners who crave Italy’s signature simple yet perfect sun-intensified fresh fish and vegetable flavors are in luck at casually stylish Specchio Cafe, which comes about as close as one can get in Miami to the authentic Italian dining experience. Try the grigliata di vegetali, not quite in the ripeness league as what one would […]
Oh, it’s a hippie paradise in Tamiami! Mostly inhabited by students from nearby Florida International University, SpecialTEA boasts it is the “only tea house in Miami!” which is probably true. Miamians aren’t known for being huge tea drinkers. The funny thing is that SpecialTEA’s menu actually offers more coffee selections than tea beverages. But tree-hugging […]

Not much has changed at Spiga since the pretty, romantic, slightly secluded Italian trattoria opened more than a decade ago. The veteran chef and crew are still baking the breads and foccacias, rolling out pasta doughs, and preparing desserts on the premises. The result is fresh, uncomplicated, moderately priced Italian cuisine. Don’t miss the quadretti […]
This upscale lounge has an elegant vibe reflected in the decor – crisp white furniture and contrasting red accents. Once the lights go down, candles add a cozy touch to the spot, which overlooks a South Beach scene that includes the ocean, the bright lights, and the people passing below. Have cocktails on the roof […]
Once upon a time, the food options at your local bowling alley were stale nachos, school-style pizza, and maybe a dehydrated burger or two. But that is far from the case at Splitsville, located next to the movie box office on the second floor of the Shops at Sunset Place. In fact, the bowling alley […]
Sports Grill serves, by far, the meatiest and tastiest wings in town. Don’t believe us? Try ordering a batch of 16 ($12.25) or 25 pieces ($18.99) just before a big game. Sure, the folks answering the phone at this Kendall institution won’t immediately laugh and hang up on you, but they’ll hold back the chuckles […]

Sports bars should be simple – tasty bar food, cold brews, plenty of TVs. Local chain Sports Grill has this formula down pat, and their South Miami outpost is no exception. Add a nice mix of craft brews to the mix, and arguably Miami’s best wings (get ’em grilled) and you’ve got a winning home […]
