Nemo Restaurant

Nemo has been serving its Asian-influenced, contemporary American fare to popular acclaim since 1995. Some menu items are the same as on opening day, such as an appetizer of garlic-and-ginger-cured salmon wrapped around alfalfa sprout and a grilled Indian-spiced pork chop with sticky black rice and papaya salsa. They still taste good, as do starters […]

New World Center

The sleek, stunning stylings of the Frank Gehry-designed New World Center could almost overshadow the sounds of its inhabitants. Almost. But Miami Beach’s kings (and queens) of classical music manage to do their digs justice. Here you can listen in on some of the nation’s most outstanding young musicians before they move on to even […]

News Cafe

An Ocean Drive mainstay for 35 years, News Cafe remains a prime spot to enjoy your coffee with an ocean breeze. The café recently underwent a remodel, and snagging an outdoor table on the porch surrounded by bougainvillea is a must for laid-back day-to-night people-watching. The menu spans breakfast favorites like café con leche French […]

Nexxt Cafe

Although Cheesecake Factory sued Nexxt for copycatting recipes nearly 10 years ago, Nexxt’s novel-size menu and giant portions still remind us of the mall-hugging chain. Unless you are a water boy eating your way to linebacker or you want to take half of your dinner to work for lunch tomorrow, plan to share. The sophisticated […]

Nikki Beach Miami

Even with a chunk of its beachside scaled back by the city, the Saint-Tropez-style, open-air party continues to draw high-enders en masse. Sunday nights at Nikki Beach are exactly what they appear on the E!’s Wild On series.

Nobu Miami

This sprawling outpost inside the historic Eden Roc Miami Beach plays the same delectable hits: spicy tuna with crispy rice, miso black cod, and hamachi in a tart dressing adorned with jalapeno rings. For your money, grab a seat at the sushi bar, where one of more than a half-dozen itamae will walk you through […]

Nossa Omakase

Under certain circumstances, entrusting a $375 multicourse dinner to a complete stranger represents good value. Such is the case at Sebastian Labno and Astrid Ramirez’s Nossa Omakase in Miami Beach, a reservation-only restaurant – the name borrows the Portuguese word for wow – that marries Japanese tradition with Magic City culture and its attendant Latin […]

Ocean’s Ten

At this tourist-oriented Ocean Drive restaurant, the food can be pricey, except for the breakfast specials, which cost as low as $4.75. Notable dishes include the king lobster tail ($58.95 for one pound) – which is steamed and served with garlic, sage mashed potatoes, drawn butter, and seasonal fresh vegetables – and the Buffalo wings […]

Oliver’s Bistro

This is an extremely pleasant restaurant in one of the few areas of South Beach where residents can dine without feeling as though they’re part of some gigantic tour group. The room is light, airy, and relaxing. The waitstaff is friendly and solid. The owner is on hand to make sure things run smoothly. Now […]

Olla

Lincoln Road’s best dish is littered with bits of cow, pig, and chicken feet. It’s gently spiced with Mexican oregano and guajillo chilies. There are meaty, bouncy bits of tripe that, along with a fried egg and a basket of warm, flaky tortillas, packs luxury and modesty into the same bite. Find it within the […]

Oolite Restaurant & Bar

Kris Wessel’s famous barbecued shrimp are back, this time in South Beach and alongside a cornucopia of dishes drawing from old Florida cuisine, as well as the Caribbean and Latin American influences that color the world of South Florida dining. The whole menu, however, is gluten-free, which means no traditional flour. But that doesn’t mean […]
