Casablanca Seafood Bar & Grill

As one of the first stops for local commercial fishing boats, Casablanca’s adjoining weathered seafood market in Watson Island Marina provides an opportune place to purchase some of the very freshest fish around at bargain prices. The restaurant offers a dozen oysters on the half-shell, ceviches, and soft, flaky homemade Caribbean beef empanadas. The ambiance […]

Casita Tejas Mexican Restaurant

Since it opened in 1987, this “Little House of Texas” has not stopped serving heaping portions of Tex-Mex fare. Starters include the Americanized pleasers you might expect at Señor Frog’s but here are prepared with more aplomb – and more chilies. A fiesta sampler of a quesadilla, flauta, tamal, and taco with beans, guacamole, sour […]

Casola’s Pizza

Casola’s sells slices as big as your head. If you take two bites out of one, you can use it as a Halloween mask. Or if you order a wedge of loaded veggie, you can wear it as a fancy Kentucky Derby hat. And during hurricane season, a single triangle of pepperoni can act as […]

Catch Grill and Bar

Though Catch Grill and Bar is located inside the Marriott Hotel on Biscayne Bay, it is so much more than the dark ho-tel bar of our collective imaginations. Catch’s decor mixes river rocks, shim-mering tiles, and wood to create the sen-sation of being under the sea. A huge outdoor seating area is a wonderful place […]

Catch of the Day

Many nautically themed seafood restaurants exist, but they usually serve subpar fare. It’s almost as if the kitsch is intended to lull patrons into a fall sense of security. Catch of the Day, however, is an exception. Run by people who obviously care about the quality of the food and about having a good time, […]

Catharsis Restaurant and Lounge

On weekends, Catharsis Restaurant and Lounge pulses with the Latin drum beats of Buena Vista Social Club’s “El Cuarto de Tula.” At this 80-seat Little Havana eatery, almost everyone sings along because they all know the lyrics. Partners Hernan Stutzer, Marcelo Malvicino, and Vivian Gonz

Caviar Russe

Reminiscence to an upscale happy hour, Caviar Russe is raising the bar and bubbles with its new champagne special.

Cebada Rooftop

Cebada, the Spanish word for barley, is an ode to the now-shuttered Barley, which was located in Dadeland. Cebada Rooftop finds the same owners, Jorge Ramos Sr. and his son Jorgie Ramos, operating atop a one-story building in Coral Gables. Prior to opening in August 2021, the bar was in the works for more than […]

Cecconi’s Miami Beach

A 14-seat bar and an open kitchen bookend the foliated patio dining room, which with tiny white lights wrapped around trees has the look of a rustic winter wonderland. It is at once elegant and comfortable. The cooking philosophy is a clean, basic compilation of fresh, high-quality ingredients. The roasted branzino is prepared with tomatoes, […]

Cena by Michy

If lack of popularity was ever a problem at Michelle Bernstein’s namesake restaurant, it isn’t anymore. The 55-seat dining room at Cena by Michy fills to capacity with loyal fans throughout the week. The almost-iridescent purple-blue hue that once lined the ceiling and floor has been stripped away, along with the white tablecloths and ornate […]

Cervecer

Cuba’s oldest brewery made its way to Miami after nearly 25 years of research on the part of Manny Portuondo, great-great-grandson of Federico Kohly, who founded Cerveceria La Tropical in 1888. Using the original beer recipe, Portuondo revived his family’s legacy with a state-of-the-art brewery in Wynwood, bringing La Tropical to the masses for the […]
