Yes, Gibraltar serves fresh, creatively executed dishes that often feature local ingredients. But let’s not kid ourselves – people would probably flock to this Grove Isle oasis even if it served stale bread on a plate. The view here is killer – a 360-panorama of ocean, sky, and marina enjoyed amid tropical shrubbery and tiki […]

If you can’t cast a line off your very own 40-foot catamaran, Golden Rule Seafood is the next best thing. This family-owned purveyor has been around since 1943, serving up fresh fish, stone crab, lobster, oysters, live blue crabs, shrimp and all other forms of the ocean’s bounty. So if you’re in Palmetto Bay and […]
The Pinecrest Grazie Café closed its doors just as carpenters were securing the final cherry-wood panels that would form the visual foundation of a handsome new Grazie Italian Cuisine on South Beach. The 75-seat dining room is lushly comfortable with those warm wood walls and soft lights emanating an orange-hued glow. Grazie’s menu is limited, […]
At this California-casual global restaurant, the prime focus is Indian food: unusually tasty dal makhani (braised lentils), savory nilgiri korma (stewed beef in rich yogurt sauce), kofta curry (tender vegetarian “meatballs” in comforting cream sauce), mattar paneer (peas and tofu cheese in a sweet, zingy tomato sauce). But you can also get Japanese steak, Cajun […]
Looking at the stainless-steel, retro-American diner, one might expect the usual menu of meatloaf, milkshakes, burgers, and fries. Granted, the neon-lit letters spelling out “gourmet” before “diner” should give hint that something is afoot inside — but French country cooking? That’s pretty surprising. What’s even more shocking is just how tasty and affordably priced the […]

Another Cuban restaurant in Miami? That’s like another needle in the proverbial haystack. But Havana Miami Restaurant is a red, white and blue needle shining like a beacon through the hay. Known for their arroz con pollo a la chorrera (Cuban rice with chicken), cochinillo (roast pig) and vaca frita (shredded beef), you’ll find all […]
Once Houston’s, the brand has embraced their new moniker while staying true to their tenets of sharp service and impeccable food. Their veggie burger is arguably the best in town.

While service at this veteran Indian spot (open since 1975) can be spotty – sometimes accommodating, sometimes inattentive – its renowned lunchtime buffet, available every day of the week, is very large and extremely affordable. Choices change daily, but carnivores will find several meat or poultry curries, and vegetarians will enjoy tasty dishes like chana […]
In 1975, Vietnamese-born Tung Nguyen was young, pregnant, and ready to start a culinary revolution. Five years later, she and refugee sponsor Kathy Manning opened Hy Vong. Today the spot is one of Little Havana’s best-kept secrets, serving up authentic Vietnamese standards with international twists. Take a seat in the unassuming dining room on any […]
You can watch executive chef Jorge Sanchez and his kitchen crew at work in a gleaming stainless-steel kitchen; the rest of the tastefully appointed space is bathed in beige, gracefully draped, and soothingly illuminated. Don’t miss the suckling baby pig, well-spiced and succulently confited in its fat until the crust absolutely crackles. Bouncy baby lamb […]

This quaintly appointed Tuscan-style trattoria is a gem. The menu and cuisine are as elemental as can be, chef/owner Neal Cooper favoring fresh, quality ingredients over complicated cooking techniques. Actually there’s no cooking involved when it comes to cold appetizers of prosciutto, bresaola, and beef carpaccio, all lavishly portioned and plated in unadulterated fashion. Caprese […]
Sure, there’s another outpost of New York’s Il Mulino in Sunny Isles Beach, but why shlep there when the team behind it opened a sleek, whitewashed sibling in SoFi? Complimentary antipasti come in many forms: a tray of freshly baked bread, Italian sausage, spiced fried zucchini, and bruschetta with mussels. This is just the beginning. […]
You have to look pretty darn hard to find chow from the place where Columbus thought he had arrived. Sure, there are plenty of the walk-up cafeterias selling caf
This Coral Gables restaurant is nothing if not ambitious, the menu delving into regional dishes not seen in our other Indian joints. You can find chicken cooked in the styles of not only tandoori, biryani, khorma, and tikka masala, but also noorjehani, karachi, jalfrezi, makhani, andhra, and chettinad. The last, a curry specialty from Tamilnadu […]
Indomania is a Dutch-Indonesian restaurant. Rijsttafel is the house specialty, but rather than being served as numerous dishes of food, as is tradition, the components — anchored by a mound of steamy rice — come crammed onto a single plate: ayam opor (chicken braised with coconut milk); grilled, skewered chicken sateh (satay); crisped green beans, […]
Slap some cheese into a tortilla, melt it up, and you have one of the tastiest treats this side of Mexico.

Tomato or mustard? Tangy or sweet? Every barbecue lover has his or her sauce preferences, but in all honesty, the sauce is just windowdressing. It’s the meat that matters and it’s James’s meat that draws customers to parking lots across town. To cover James’s ribs with any sauce, even your favorite, would be a tragedy […]
