Havana Harry’s

Oh, where to start? Havana Harry’s, which opened its first location many years ago off Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, delivers the goods in every possible way. Harry’s takes Cuban food to another level. It prepares traditional foods according to traditional recipes, but it also makes some new-school stuff. Although there are no appetizers that […]

Hillstone

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. Others rave about their French dip. And nearly everyone is a fan of their sleek dining room and attractive, young professional clientele. With entrees ranging […]

Hooters

Home of the double entendre, the Hooters chain has become an American icon over the course of its short life. Founded in Florida during the glorious 1980s, the company with a hooting owl for a logo boasts its own magazine, a hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, and famous alumni like Hugh Hefner’s former girlfriend […]

Hotel St. Michel

Some stars shine brighter after they burn out. Recovered from a 1995 fire, the French-rooted New American kitchen sparkles. Among the appetizers, choose from pté of the day served with onion relish, plump sautéed escargots, or steamed mussels. Long Island duckling in a caramelized orange sauce and rack of Australian spring lamb on a pinot […]

House of India

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 […]

Indian Palate

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 […]

IQ: International Quesadilla Company

Slap some cheese into a tortilla, melt it up, and you have one of the tastiest treats this side of Mexico. At IQ: International Quesadilla Company, you can get a grilled cheese unlike anything your mom ever made. Think ginger, soy, cabbage, mushrooms, chicken, carrots, and bean sprouts inside a light and flaky tortilla. Or […]

The Irish Times Pub & Eatery

For decades, University of Miami students have been trying to dupe the bouncers at this Celtic-themed tavern within walking distance of campus. Yet no matter how closely they resemble their older cousin’s expired driver’s license photo, the bouncer, propped on his stool outside the double doors, inevitably refuses to let them in. Poor underage drinkers. […]

Jada Coles

Located directly on Coral Way right off 22nd Avenue, Jada Coles blends just enough comfort to be deemed “laid back” with just enough quirkiness to be deemed charming. Couches are nooked towards the front of the space, while mix and minglers can sit at the high tops next to the pool table or float around […]
