Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Golden Beach

"Miami Beach's Juvia is a rooftop sparkler flaunting French, Japanese, and Peruvian inspired cuisine. Situated atop Lincoln Road's illustrious 1111 Garage, this James Beard Award winner for Outstanding Restaurant Design offers wondrous, unobstructed views of Miami Beach and Downtown Miami. Juvia's stylish, urban-meets-Eden polishings include a lavender and white color palette and Wonderland-worthy vertical garden."

"You’ve surely dined at Juvia in the evening, but have you visited this rooftop restaurant for brunch?. Beyond the unbelievable city views, Juvia serves a pretty affordable bottomless brunch (by Miami Beach standards, at least). Enjoy two hours of all-you-can-drink mimosas, tequila margaritas or bellinis for $30."

"Restaurants South Beach. No matter the time of year, sunset dinners at Juvia are marked by candy-colored skies. Consider it a free show or part of the experience when you dine at the Lincoln Road restaurant."

"DowntownMiami’s largest art museum is as much a showcase of architectural mastery as any other art form, where large rooms, rounded walls, and hanging gardens with more than 54,000 plants give it an aesthetic like no other art museum in the world. The view’s not bad either, where you’ll catch glimpses of Biscayne Bay in between showcases of contemporary art from throughout Latin America and the world. The museum is also home to Verde, which we’ll humbly call the best museum restaurant in America even without its breezy bayside terrace.Know before you go: PAMM is currently only open 2-9 pm on Thursday, and 11 am - 6 pm Friday through Sunday."

"Miami is known for its art, and this collection of contemporary works, Miami’s flagship art museum, is a must-visit. In addition to its rotating exhibits, the museum is home to the Caribbean Cultural Institute, which promotes the arts and culture of the Caribbean. 1103 Biscayne Blvd, Miami | 305.375.5662 l Distance from Hotel: 5.6 miles"

"Located at 1103 Biscayne Blvd. downtown, the art museum and art gallery is the highest-rated art gallery in Miami, boasting four stars out of 342 reviews on Yelp."

"A waterfront Italian Renaissance-style villa on 10 acres might not be your first thought for a kid-friendly activity, but the beautiful gardens and over-the-top, fairy-tale architecture can captivate kids of all ages. Take a quick tour of the interior of the house and then head to the gardens; there's even a labyrinth and maze that's perfect for burning off energy. Pro tip: the Vizcaya Museum isn't the easiest to manage with a stroller, so keep that in mind."

"Taking a stroll into the elaborate gardens will take you to Versailles. Inspired by Venetian architecture, the Vizcaya Museum showcases intricate Renaissance tapestries, Roman sculptures, Chinese object d’art, Rocco furniture, and early 20th century paintings. James Deering estate was built as a private waterfront for the millionaire in 1914."

"Of the 10,000 people living in Miami between 1912 and 1916, about 1,000 of them were gainfully employed by Chicago industrialist James…"

"Macchialina is a tiny Alton Road eatery owned by former Scarpetta chef Michael Pirolo, who makes every guest feel right at home on arrival. The popular restaurant serves a creative menu of the freshest house-made pasta, the richest red sauces, hearty meat and chicken dishes, and decadent desserts, along with an inventive cocktail list. Pasta, risotto, and gnocchi are all made by hand by the chef himself; the house lasagna puts nonna's to shame, and nobody should leave without trying signature dishes like the Mediterranean octopus with concentrated tomato and potato cream or the beet mezzaluna crowned with hazelnuts, brown butter, and ricotta salata."

"And you'd be hard-pressed to find a more heavenly, authentic rendition of their marriage in a pasta dish than at Macchialina, a South Beach Italian spot that boasts a charming dining room, genuinely friendly service, and wonderful pastas. Chef Michael Pirolo's spaghetti pomodoro offers pristine handmade noodles tossed in a sauce possessing the perfect combination of acidity and sweetness, plus a touch of fragrant basil. Don't be shy about adding plenty of grated Parmesan cheese — it won't corrupt the culinary integrity of this dish ($21)."

"A restaurant that can only be described as “the best Italian restaurant in Miami”. Despite the very small selection of pasta (only 6 types), the taste of these pastes is simply amazing. The unforgettable delicious dishes of this restaurant keep visitors coming back again and again."

"Here visiting from NC and decided to give this restaurant a try- let me tell you it didn't disappoint- I had the waffle with scrambled eggs and turkey..."

"Mayami Mexicantina is a new Wynwood restaurant that comes from the El Patio team. It’s a very large space and will serve tacos and other Mexican dishes."

"This popular Florida-inspired cocktail bar boasts signature millennial pink decor in a hybrid indoor/outdoor setting, inventive tropical cocktails, and Little Havana location, plus a must-try brunch every Saturday and Sunday."

"Not only does he do Thai, Japanese and Chinese flavors in this pan-Asian cafe, he likes to add in Filipino, Taiwanese, Korean and a blend of original interpretations that Miamians can only label "yum." So while it's difficult to perhaps pinpoint all his influences in some dishes, such as the crispy almond snapper in the saffron-soba broth, it's also hard to really care. From appetizers like the wild mushroom salad with cilantro-ginger dressing to the Filipino rice bowl topped with pork, a sunny-side-up egg and pickles, it's a veritable bonanza of playful Asian flavors. Complementing the fare, Teh also serves authentic bubble teas, house-made sodas, and a select sake and wine list."

"First up, we have the top-rated French restaurant, Cote Gourmet starting off our list. This sophisticated and luxurious French restaurant is definitely one of the restaurants that you should visit here in the city. Here, you are offered a world-class menu filled with lunch, brunch, and dinner options."

Now, in Miami Beach's tony South of Fifth neighborhood, Ford shines solo at Stubborn Seed. The interior design of his 70-seater is industrial chic, allowing the food to be the focal point."

"It’s actually Top Chef winner Jeremy Ford’s South Beach restaurant. While his savory food is delicious, what we really can’t get enough of is pastry chef Dallas Wynne’s snickerdoodles. They’re served warm and oozing with a rich chocolate filling."

"The Little River's Manatee Bend Park, where you can spot actual manatees, (six of them are in that picture!) is a small, green space to relax, a communal outdoor living room for the surrounding neighborhood."

"Locals love the whimsical Plantation Woods Park, a 2.5 acre park with a wooded theme. Log benches, tree houses, 3 playground areas, and specialty tree swings make this park unique and special."
