Miami has several restaurants that are out of your price range. So when meal deals such as Miami Spice and Coral Gables Restaurant Week come around, you pounce like a hungry, salivating lion on a wounded gazelle.
Fortunately, there's one good deal you won't have to hunt for. Largely unknown but worth traveling for is the happy-hour menu at DB Bistro Moderne. Every Monday through Friday from 5 to 8 p.m., you can sample some of the best cuisine at reduced prices. Don't get us wrong -- even during happy hour, no one will mistake DB for a cut-rate diner. But with astounding food, exemplary service, and one of the sweetest views in town, it's worth checking out.
We highly recommend the beef sliders ($13), with Gruyère, caramelized onions, lettuce, and tomato. These are mini bites of heaven. The chicken wings ($9) are also amazing -- juicy on the inside and crisp on the outside.
