Best Fine Dining in West Perrine

"The solo debut by Miami’s own Top Chef winner, Jeremy Ford, Stubborn Seed is a cozy-yet-hip South of Fifth spot turning out some of the city’s most elevated cuisine. While there is a complete a la carte menu with dishes like ricotta gnudi, warm celery root with crispy mushrooms, and smoked prime rib, the real highlight here is the tasting menu, where guests can try a bevy of classics and seasonal creations, plus get some of its melt-in-your mouth gooey snickerdoodle cookies to take home to remember the meal."

"Snickerdoodle fans rejoice — Stubborn Seed’s famed cookies are available to go. Other sweet menu items include salted fudge brownies, key lime crumble, coconut flan, and ice cream sandwiches. There’s even a special gift box that features a 6-inch cake (chocolate cookies and cream or vanilla with cheesecake frosting), a bottle of bubbles, personalized card, and candles for $75."

"The brunch menu is split between sweet and savory making it easy to order dessert for breakfast. Go for the Chai waffles with whipped espresso cream and spiced syrup. Maybe the espresso cream will help fight off the sugar coma."

"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."

"The humble interior of Mignonette belies the quality of the food served, says Miami New Times. This seafood restaurant is influenced by French cuisine. At the heart of the dishes, diners can enjoy the delicious flavors of fresh seafood, such as shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, oysters, and a vast array of fish."

"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."

"Come to Katsuya at the SLS South Beach hotel for impeccable cuisine from master sushi chef Katsuya Uechi and an equally impressive ambiance created by design impresario Philippe Starck. Chef Uechi works with traditional Japanese flavors and expertly adjusts them to match American tastes, to present a new take on Japanese cuisine. Check out the chef’s signature sushi roll – spicy tuna crispy rice studded with serrano pepper – or try a bit of all the menu highlights with the omakase menu."

"Last but not least, there's Happy Place Donuts, another downtown favorite with four stars out of 18 reviews. While gourmet doughnuts are first on the menu here, the gelato case is also worth inspecting, according to Yelpers. Stop by 507 Española Way to hit up the bakery and ice cream parlor next time it's too hot to contemplate being outside without a cooling treat."

"What do you get when you pair Chef Katsuya Uechi with designer Philippe Starck?. A butterfly decorated contemporary sushi lounge. The atmosphere is not the only attraction about Katsuya; the food is justifiably a crowd pleaser."

"Chef Laurent Tourondel’s LT Steak & Seafood, located inside the historic Betsy Hotel on Ocean Drive, is popular not just with hotel guests but locals as well, who stop in for an afterwork cocktail or a nice night out."

"Dine indoors or alfresco on a front porch overlooking the South Beach scene and you’ll be charmed from the start by the chef’s signature popovers which come to the table steaming hot … […]"

Boasting beautiful riverfront views and a delectable menu featuring modern Greek cuisine, Kiki on the River is a brilliant place to experience Miami. Decorated with a rustic-Mediterranean style, the waterfront setting offers an exquisite location for outdoor dining."

"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.

"Embracing the hospitality and spirit of the Greek islands, Kiki on The River is heralded for it meticulously-scuffed elegance that only a windswept waterfront garden can provide."

You will find impeccable service, innovative cuisine and a well-designed wine list. In an intimate setting, guests of Pied à Terre feel like participants in an important culinary event."
