The Villa by Barton G.

Part of the thrill of dining at the Villa is the opulent ambiance. From the nostalgic splendor of the Moroccan Room to the intimate dining area with Versace-designed Rosenthal china atop tables draped in royal-blue linen, diners know as soon as they enter Casa Casuarina that this dining experience will be singular. Yes, it’s pricey, […]

The Village Chalet Restaurant

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 […]

Villagio Restaurant

Can a sprawling suburban temple built to entertain the joys of rabid consumerism really be home to a moderately priced Italian restaurant with the sensibilities of an authentic Tuscan trattoria? Actually, yes, if the restaurant is Villagio. Succulent rock shrimp with plump cannellini beans, arugula, radicchio, and tomatoes tossed in a mild balsamic dressing is […]

Vintage Liquor & Wine Bar

The lounge features a large silver couch, glass tabletops, and fresh orchids. Vintage also boasts more than 800 selections of wine and a local sommelier on hand to guide […]

Vinya Table

A sister of sommelier and co-owner Allegra Angelo’s Key Biscayne wine market and café, Vinya Wine & Market, Vinya Table in Coral Gables is one-half restaurant, one-half market from which you can grab any of Angelo’s thoughtfully curated bottle selections off the shelf to enjoy with your meal (in addition to a list of more […]

Vinya Wine & Market

Wine can be intimidating. Who hasn’t perused rack after rack of wines only to pick up a bottle that has a cat on it out of sheer desperation? Varietals, terroir, and vintages all become a blur when you simply want a nice bottle to pair with the pasta dinner you’re making for your new boo. […]

Vista

Vista’s all-day menu includes a sweet grilled peach salad with stracciatella and toasted pine nuts and a daily rotating risotto. The gnocchetti arrives with a spring-green purée of poblano peppers and mint, garnished with a creamy parmigiana foam. Crushed pistachios give the dish added texture and an earthy, sweet finish. Other main courses range from […]

Vita Restaurant And Lounge

Different owners, different chefs, but the new Vita has a lot in common with the old Vita. Such as the 100-seat outdoor garden with lush tropical foliage and old-time movies projected on the wall. Such as the DJ who spins tunes weekends from about 10 p.m. till close. Such as the location right across the […]

Vito’s

For a town with many charming, evocative neighborhoods, Miami has relatively few charming, evocative neighborhood restaurants. This modest little Italian eatery in a nothing-much Key Biscayne strip mall is one. There’s no reinventing of the culinary wheel, simply the staples of the Italian kitchen done with a bit more care and verve than at many […]

Vix at Hotel Victor

Chef James Wierzelewski has cooked in exotic locations for 20-some years, gathering gastronomic ideas from places the way tourists collect T-shirts. The menu at Vix, however, is no hodgepodge homage to his travels but rather a short, sensible compilation of mostly Mediterranean and Asian dishes, with a few tips of the toque toward Central and […]

The vShops Food Hall

Miami finally has its first all-vegan food hall. In Coconut Grove, the VShops bursts with an array of plant-based eateries, from Next Generation Pizza to Ice Dream Parlor. Also find the well-known Choices Cafe and an entirely new concept, Neo’s Blender, a smoothie and juice spot that’s geared toward kids but offers plenty for adults […]
