Preston’s Market

Preston’s in the Loews Hotel is one of the few restaurants along the beach with an oceanfront view. Breakfast is a real feast here, with eggs benedict Cubano on tostada bread and chorizo; omelets; and an oatmeal brûlée among the early-bird treats. Expect innovative Mediterranean-inspired American cuisine boasting local ingredients and lots of organic fruits, […]

Pride and Joy

Pride and Joy was one of the most highly anticipated restaurant openings in Wynwood in 2012. The barbecue eatery is a partnership among Myron Mixon and five South Florida locals — Mike Saladino, Chris Mayer, Paul Thielecke, Jose Santa, and Pablo Cardenas. Mixon, who is known as the “the winningest man of barbecue,” is a […]

Prime 112

There’s much more than beef at this inventive New American steakhouse. Guests can also dine happily on creative entrées featuring poultry or on cold-water oysters and other pristine raw-bar selections. That said, the USDA Prime dry-aged steaks are superb, and so are the à la carte sides. They include upgraded versions of steakhouse classics – […]

Prime Italian

This Italian sister to the stunningly successful Prime 112 succeeds as an all-purpose upscale dining venue. Patrons can begin by choosing from soups; salads; coal-oven pizzas; oysters; caviar; cocktails of shrimp, crab, or lobster; baked clams; fried bufala mozzarella; antipasti; and one big Kobe meatball with ricotta and a memorable marinara sauce. Entrées include the […]

Prime Sushi

Kosher sushi and Italian classics may not seem like a match made in heaven, but at Miami Beach’s Prime Sushi, somehow it works. The unlikely ethnic duo provide enough options to please any palate. From the Ginsa (baked-salmon topped California roll $13.95) and the Miami Beach (tuna, salmon, masago, avocado on top with eel sauce […]

Primo Pizza

Primo Pizza has developed a following since it brought its New York-style pizza to Miami Beach. Its newer location in midtown is an improved version of the Miami Beach shop; it’s much more pleasant and comfortable, has indoor and outdoor seating, and sports a couple of flat-screen TVs for sports-watchers. The pizza doesn’t come cheap. […]

Prohibition

At Prohibition, the food is an eclectic mix of favorites with an emphasis on small plates for sharing. A rundown of dishes includes char-grilled octopus, escargots, lobster truffle macaroni and cheese, chorizo croquettes, beef carpaccio, and hummus. Dinner-size entrées include slow-roasted short rib, Wagyu skirt steak, and pan-roasted salmon with couscous and vegetables. Of course, […]

Proof Pizza & Pasta

Formerly the executive sous-chef at Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak, Justin Flit opened Proof Pizza & Pasta in midtown because the neighborhood’s “cool” factor was the ideal setting for the casual, inviting, anti-Italian restaurant he’s always envisioned owning. Though nearly everything at Proof has Italian undertones, the executive chef and owner is adamant about serving the […]

Proper Sausages

At Proper Sausages, Freddy and Danielle Kaufmann turn out a dozen varieties of their classic, English-style sausage along with furiously spicy links tinged with orange rind. Their Miami Shores location also serves up homemade bacon, mustard, and, if you’re lucky, a BLT on a Portuguese muffin. What they do best, however, is fill Miami’s gaping […]

Provence Grill

This bastion of reasonably priced French cuisine is an oasis in a budding downtown dining area dominated by Italian restaurants. An excellent smoked duck salad or the homemade pté of the week is perfect for a light lunch or a filling starter. For dinner, sliced flank steak with a stirring shallot sauce or one of […]

Pubbelly Noodle Bar

The quiet block of 20th Street between Purdy and West Avenues in South Beach has given aspiring restaurateurs nothing but headaches. Nowadays, folks are gathering beneath Pubbelly’s high loft ceilings, leaning against the exposed brick walls, and waiting for one of the three dozen seats or dozen barstools to open up. So how did the […]

Pubbelly Sushi

Jose Mendin, Sergio Navarro, and Andreas Schreiner were far from the first to flirt with the small-plate trend, but their presentation of Asian-inspired snacks at Pubbelly in South Beach proved so popular they’ve since opened Pubbelly Sushi next door. The formula is pretty much the same: tasty, creative food at a good value in a […]
