RA Sushi

Sitting like a South Beach-y black sheep in laid-back and pub-heavy South Miami, RA Sushi is less about raw fish and more about tempura, cooked seafood, kiwi, and jalape

Racks Italian Bistro and Market

The concise menu here is slightly more extensive than at owner Gary Rack’s other venue, Table 42 Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar in Boca Raton (formerly Coal Mine Pizza). Both spots specialize in coal-fired pies but also offer starters, salads, and pastas; Racks adds a handful of fish, meat, and poultry entrées to the mix. […]

Raja’s Indian Cuisine

Decor is unassuming at this downtown lunchroom — it’s basically a hole-in-the-wall, albeit a clean and cheerful one — and most of the roughly dozen dishes served daily are steam-tabled, not made to order. Still, since most Indian food is relatively slow-cooked rather than quickly stir-fried like that of most other Asian nations, it survives […]

Raleigh Hotel

Although the Raleigh has been a premier party venue since the boutique resort’s 2003 remodeling, the hotel’s food has largely escaped fanfare. Well, belatedly: TAH-DAH! The restaurant’s refined fare includes a delicate ceviche of citrus/herb-marinated fresh fluke with jalepe

The Ranch House Original

It’s hard to screw up french fries. Step one, cut potato. Step two, fry potato. Step three, eat delicious fried potato smothered in ketchup. But to be the BEST when it comes to fries is another matter altogether. And The Ranch House Original has made a reputation for its fresh cut steak fries ($2.75) – […]

Randazzo’s Little Italy

You want risotto with truffle essence? Fuhgeddaboutit. This is a red-sauce joint. The food is not fancy-schmancy northern Italian, or authentically Italian at all. It’s Italian-American, a simple, honest soul-food genre developed a century ago by impoverished southern Italian immigrants. And gregarious chef/owner Marc Randazzo, a former boxer, does it right, just like his grandma […]

Rare Steakhouse

This kosher steak house features a dimly lit, elegant interior and attentive service. Meat is cooked to order on a wood-burning grill, and the traditional steak-house menu offers fresh ingredients prepared in a kosher kitchen. Appetizers include beef carpaccio ($14), an iceberg wedge ($10), and Wagyu sliders ($21). Notable main courses are sea bass ($34), […]

Raw Republic

Raw Republic is expanding to open a second location in North Miami Beach. Open to everyone and anyone who loves feeling healthy, the Open House will feature passed samples of Raw Republic’s drinks and foods; and giveaways for the first 100 customers. The brainchild of first cousins Jordan Gimelstein, Jesse Gimelstein and Zack Stein, all […]

Recoveco

Recoveco is the kind of place that proves big flavors can live in small, hidden corners of the Magic City. This South Miami gem, which chefs Maria Teresa (Tere) Gallina and Nico Martinez unveiled in 2024, turns a tight nine-dish menu into a parade of thoughtful, balanced plates. Each visit feels like a secret you’re […]

Red Kiwi

You know that feeling of fat-kid disappointment when you’ve hit the midpoint of your frozen-yogurt takedown only to find you’ve run out of toppings? Well, Red Kiwi offers a fix: bottoming, otherwise known as double toppings. Yes, that’s twice the Fruity Pebbles, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, sprinkles, gummy bears, or whatever spoonful you desire in one […]

Red Koi Thai & Sushi Lounge

Red Koi Lounge opened its Miracle Mile doors to fierce competition from Gables staple Bangkok Bangkok. But its combination of friendly servers, fiery duck red curry, and budget-friendly lunch specials has helped the feisty newcomer attain a loyal following that packs the black-leather-and-bamboo dining room on weekends. Sure, there’s sushi on the menu too, most […]

Red Light Little River

Red Light is a unique restaurant with great food prepared by a gifted chef at peerless prices — in either a boisterous, buoyant environment or by a serenely flowing river. The fun and funky diner fills with a largely local clientele that exudes a more salt-of-the-earth vibe than is usually found at restaurants run by […]

Red Rooster Overtown

As the decade turned, celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson imported his Harlem Red Rooster to Overtown. Situated on the former site of Clyde Killens’ pool hall, where Black stars from Aretha Franklin to Sam Cooke to Muhammad Ali used to mingle, the restaurant offers dishes that encompass influences from Africa, the Southern U.S., the Caribbean, and […]

Red South Beach

Red the Steakhouse serves some of the best USDA prime, age-certified Angus steaks in all of Miami. Chef Peter Vauthy chooses the finest cuts, then sears them to perfection. Vauthy puts the same care into the seafood he serves, often posting photos of giant Alaskan king crab or Maine lobsters to entice diners with his […]

Redfish Grill

Red Fish Grill in Matheson Hammock Park was known far and wide as a gorgeous location for date nights, anniversaries, and birthdays. The waterfront restaurant sustained extensive damage to its coral structure during Hurricane Irma in 2017 and was shuttered until ubiquitous local chef Adrianne Calvo helmed its revival. Now under the leadership of celebrity chef […]

Redlander Restaurant

The restaurant takes full advantage that it shares real estate with a tropical fruit winery and a brewery. It repurposes spent grains from the beers into tabbouleh salads and rye breads. Tropical fruits are used for ceviche, served with thick yuca chips and Okinawa spinach. There are also pulled-brisket tacos and whole local fish rubbed […]
