"While grabbing a table at Stubborn Seed is usually hard to do, now that it offers takeout, guests can try out the cuisine anytime they’d like. Opt for the warm celery root, crunchy truffle potatoes, and the wagyu filet. And don’t miss the gooey snickerdoodle cookies for dessert."

"Stubborn Seed is a contemporary American restaurant in South Beach from chef Jeremy Ford, famous for his appearance on TV’s Top Chef. The small space brings together Art Deco and i..."

"There were some pretty small portions, but some really great tastes. We didn't love everything we tried, but it was definite..."

"The customers here are definitely seafood fans, with those who can tell a west coast oyster from a PEI on site nosing up to the counter, parsing their options with the nerdy enthusiasm of stamp collectors or bird spotters. But beyond the raw bar, the seafood selection is an exercise in aquatic seduction. The Clams Casino appetizer with bacon and white wine whetting appetites along with seared scallops with andouille and lobster deviled eggs are almost too much."

"This quaint spot between Downtown Miami and Wynwood is an oyster lovers’ paradise, with an ever-changing rotation of fresh oysters from the east and west coasts. In addition to oysters served in all fashions (from raw to Rockefeller-style), indulge in Mignonette’s lobster deviled eggs, buttery lobster rolls and the jumbo diver sea scallops. Be sure to save room for dessert, as the butterscotch and Heath bar bread pudding is worth every calorie."

"A modern take on the classic seafood restaurant by Blue Collar chef Danny Serfer and partner Ryan Roman. Described by critics and guests as a “plain and fancy” oyster heaven, it also features plenty of other seafood items, as well as non-sea dwelling options like prime rib, chicken, and its famous veggie board."

"Smith & Wollensky is a renowned American steakhouse located in Miami Beach. With establishments located across the US, as well as in Taipei and London, the waterfront views of this restaurant make it one of the best Smith & Wollensky destinations (in our opinion). Whether you're looking to go for dinner with friends or host a private event, you can't go wrong here."

"This classic steakhouse perched in the South of Fifth neighborhood is just as popular for its views as it is for its meat selection. Opt to grab one of its steaks to-go, or dine outside and enjoy a meal and a sunset view."

"Eat first-rate steaks while cruise ships sail by Nothing says "I love you" like cutting into a giant hunk of bloody meat across from your special someone, right?"

"The team behind celeb-favorite Sugar Factory launched the first Happy Place Donuts on Española Way in South Beach with a glass-enclosed kitchen allowing visitors to watch the donuts being made. While you can keep it simple and delicious by ordering a chocolate glazed or the original Happy Donut with a vanilla glaze, go for the outrageously fun options that include a rainbow donut topped with Skittles, monkey bread with sea salt cream cheese frosting, or a crispy Nutella donut. The Hot & Happy Dough Balls, a bag of brioche dough balls sprinkled in powdered sugar, are another popular choice."

"CRUST is a casual Italian restaurant that specializes in gourmet pizzas and modern regional dishes. Run by acclaimed chef/owner Klime Kovaceski and his wife Anita, CRUST Restaurant offers a unique dining experience in a standalone art deco building near the Miami River. Retaining the original charm of the former 1950s building, the eatery boasts stunning interiors with a lofty 14-foot ceiling, elegant geometric lines, and majestic columns."

"Situated in Miami's River District, Crust is owned by chef Klime Kovaceski and his wife, Anita. Crust offers a range of modern Italian cuisine and specialty pizzas. The restaurant, set in a standalone art deco building with an outdoor patio area, has won many awards, including OpenTable's "100 Best Restaurants in America" in 2017 & 2019, and was voted Miami's #1 restaurant on TripAdvisor for four years in a row."

"CRUST is a charming, casual pizza spot by the Miami River that’s generated buzz among local foodies for its gourmet toppings in creative combinations. Examples include the signatur..."

"Riverfront romance with grilled meats and no attitude For years, dining on the Miami riverfront meant packing a picnic and watching freighters full of mattresses load up for Haiti. But times have changed, and the best spot for romance on the river is this Greek offering with sunset views one way, and golden-hour reflections off Downtown the other. You and your date can share one of the plush booths next to the river while enjoying fresh seafood, souvlaki, and steaks paired meticulously with hard-to-find wines."

"Enjoy a riverfront romance at Kiki on the River, one of the most romantic restaurants in Miami for those looking to enjoy both delectable food and an intimate setting. Serving up some of the finest Greek food in the city, Kiki on the River also serves guests stunning golden hour views. Sun rays bounce off the buildings downtown and illuminate the entire space in a magical hue."

"Kiki on the River pays homage to Miami’s own jewel of a riverfront like never seen before. The Greek restaurant has been crafted on rustic docks that jut out over the pristine water and takes the place of the once-bustling Miami fish markets. One feels to be within the wing of a seaside palace when in attendance here."

"A perennial favorite in the dim sum category, Tropical -- surprise -- also serves a great din-din. Traditional dishes include Hong Kong-style roast pork flavored with five-spice and then roasted; seafood-spinach soup; and always crisp, always succulent Peking duck. But innovative items are equally reliable, if unusual -- flounder pan-fried with peppercorns and jalapeños and served with bananas marinated in rice wine, for example, offers interesting counterpoints of textures, as does cherry-plum chicken wrapped with diced water chestnuts and fresh bamboo in egg-white crêpes."

"We certainly wouldn’t be mad if Miami got itself a few more solid dim sum options - but until that day comes, you can find us at Tropical Chinese pointing to random plates being pushed through the dining room on carts the size of baby elephants. This Bird Road favorite is where you’ll find Miami’s best dim sum and a roast pork bun we occasionally dream about. Dim sum is served seven days a week until 3:30pm."

"A post shared by Tropical Chinese Restaurant (@tropicalchinesemiami) on Jul 21, 2018 at 9:36pm PDT. Another of the critics’ favorites in Miami is Tropical Chinese Restaurant. The main reason for them to like this place is the excellent flavor and selection of dim sum."

"Definitely a place worth trying, the food is excellent and well prepared, the cost is convenient and it is regularly clean in here."

"Once you enter Buena Vista Bistro you’ll be immersed in a laid-back, 1950s-inspired setting that won’t distract you from the food. When renowned Chef Claude Postel moved to Miami, he was certain that he wanted to open a true neighborhood joint where diners could gather for a taste of authenticity and value. After five years on South Beach, he opened Buena Vista Bistro, a small, intimate restaurant that quickly became the neighborhood hot spot."

"At Buena Vista Deli, terrace seating inspires the feelings of a French bistro in the heart of the Miami Design District. Not only does the ambiance have a French flair, so does the cuisine, which includes an array of freshly baked croissants, pastries, and pate, with daily specials displayed on the hanging chalkboard sign inside."

"Restaurants Buena Vista. This popular neighborhood cafe serves all sorts of authentic and tasty French treats and takes its croissants very seriously. Though if you want them toasted, which you do, they won’t shun you for Americanizing their national treasure."

"This Italian style eatery has an assortment of meat and cheese breakfast sandwiches in the morning and pizza for lunch and dinner. We came for breakfast and were enamored with the fresh baked bread here. I hear the pizza and especially the crust are even better and definitely worth coming here later in the day."

"One of my favourite places to eat in South Beach which was ultra affordable was Andrix Cafe. We ended up having lunch here a couple of times in the 4 days we stayed in South Beach. Andrix Cafe has super yummy pizza and drinks available as well as free Wifi."

"For a more chilled beach day option, head to North Beach Oceanside Park, a serene destination, out of the way of the hustle and bustle of Miami Beach’s hotels and restaurants. Pack your cooler to the brim, bring a Pub sub, and take in the blissful scene of the Atlantic Ocean. The park also features shaded walking trails, a bike path, and a dog park and playground to entertain the kids and fur babies."

"You won’t want to miss Miami Mountain in Collins Park while you’re on Collins Ave. This fluorescent-colored rock sculpture towers over the park at 42 feet tall. Born from the creative mind of Ugo Rondinone, Miami Mountain is Florida’s version of Rondinone’s famous Seven Magic Mountains."
