Once the lights go down, candles add a cozy touch to the spot, which overlooks a South Beach scene that includes the ocean, the bright lights, and the people passing below.

Consider Sra. Martinez the Andalusian alter ego of Michy’s – same big flavors crammed onto “small plates,” albeit with a heavier anchor in the Mediterranean. And think of the décor as a Seville-style makeover of what was formerly Domo Japonese – a lovely, lofty space for dining. Many of the foods here are just like […]

Tucked into a narrow space on the wedding-salon-stuffed Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, the 14-seat Uvaggio serves unforgettable meals that rotate so often you could return every week.
