Everyone loves Sunny's. The food is great. I especially love the oysters, crudo, rigatoni, cavatelli, the steak, desserts and those parker house rolls!
Sunny’s Steakhouse
Michelin-star restaurant tucked inside the Four Seasons in Fort Lauderdale Beach. Delicious tasting menu and cocktails that change occasionally. The service was wonderful.
MAASS Restaurant at The Four Seasons

The Surf Club Restaurant
Great Japanese restaurant in Bal Harbor Shops. They’re always busy. The crispy tuna rice is always a must, but you can’t go wrong in this trendy spot for high-end shopping.
Makoto
My favorite Japanese-Korean spot in Fort Lauderdale Beach located inside the Conrad hotel. They have a nice big menu. The hot Hamachi and the Wagyu Tataki are standouts. I’m a big fan of the jasmine tea and the lava cake is rich.
TAKATO
There can’t be a favorite restaurant list without mentioning Carbone. I love the ambiance, especially the music. Vibing with a plate of their famous spicy rigatoni and a bottle of red wine is always a vibe.
Carbone Miami
Local Italian staple, Louie Bossi is great for a nice but not too fancy meal. The energy is casual but the food is great making it a perfect date spot any day of the week.
Louie Bossi's Ristorante Bar Pizzeria
Looking for a restaurant that’s also a party, Giselle is a great spot to celebrate a birthday with friends or a hot date. If you want to keep the night going, it’s located near the famous Club E11even for a fun night in Miami.

Located inside the Faena in Miami Beach, Pao is a delicious Asian restaurant with a great menu and drinks. It's a fun date night followed by a show at the Faena Theater.
Pao by Paul Qui
Gorgeous restaurant in the heart of Brickell. High-end seafood is elevated with their amazing tasting menus. If you're going to go for it, go for it at Sext Fish and take all the pictures you can.
Sexy Fish Miami
Classic steakhouse in Fort Lauderdale serving classic dishes in a nice ambiance.
Eddie V's Prime Seafood
Jaya at the Setai is a beautiful restaurant serving delicious South Asian food. The food and drinks were great, and the place was fun with a live DJ and a fire dancer show. It was a fun experience tucked inside a hotel.

Restaurant that turns up as the evening progresses, Komodo serves delicious food and party vibes. Had a great experience sampling different drinks and dishes that were all stand outs.
Komodo Miami
The Versace mansion is a staple. If you're looking for a bougie backdrop, this place is worth visiting at least one for the photo op. But the food isn't as memorable as the location.
Gianni's At The Former Versace Mansion
One of my favorite brunch spots. The food is delicious and the place is so charming. It's popular for showers and birthdays. Go for tea time, or enjoy their wide menu that's all yummy. Tip if you're going to have mimosas: order a bottle of prosecco a...
Little Hen
The owners of Carbone opened a fun steakhouse in Brickell. The menu is limited, but I'm a sucker for a fun ambiance and Dirty French is playing great music, more 70's/80's themed that feels like a fun party.
Dirty French Steakhouse
Bad Bunny's Japanese Steakhouse located in Brickell serves good food and good vibes. It isn't my favorite Japanese restaurant, but the food was still good and worth checking out.
Gekko
Great pizza spot in Miami. Gets packed but it's worth it.
Miami Slice
My favorite restaurant inside the Seminole Hard Rock Casino. Another Japanese restaurant (if you're sensing a theme), the food and drinks are delicious. I always have a great time here and then proceed to the casino to have more fun.
Kuro (in Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood)
Upscale Italian restaurant serving classic delicious elevated from pizzas and pastas. The rigatoni all'Amatriciana was delicious. Loved the whole experience for a more intimate dining experience.
