Top Best American Restaurants in Biscayne Bay

"Sometimes romance needs a little boost… so, if you really want to impress your date, head to Lincoln Road in South Beach to elevate your dining experience at Juvia. Perched on the top of a designer parking lot, the restaurant has bragging rights to spectacular views of Miami Beach. Time it right for the golden hour to watch the sunset from the ultra-modern dining room swathed in purple, or from the open-air patio flanked by vertical gardens that glow at night."

"Those seeking a refreshing change to the usual SoBe restaurants should look up...way, way up, at the rooftop gem known as Juvia. Flaunting French, Japanese, and Peruvian inspired dishes, this eclectic eatery boasts nothing but the freshest ingredients and boldest flavors. Located at the top of the 1111 Garage on Lincoln Road, Juvia is a popular spot for lunch for the South Beach business crowd (with a $23 prix-fixe menu, why wouldn't it be)."

"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."

"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants American Little Haiti / Lemon City. Blue Collar’s portions are to be both admired and feared.

The restaurant offers delicious local food that guests can enjoy in the covered outdoor space or the casual and modern indoor dining area."

"Danny Serfer’s Blue Collar takes its cues from the classic American diner. The tiny restaurant in the MiMo District offers daily specials and elevated comfort foods. Start with a gutsy New Orleans-style dish of shrimp and grits with bacon and Worcestershire-based barbecue sauce, or Chanukah latkes (served year-round)."

"A relaxed restaurant, Monty’s is located in South Beach just to the right of the MacArthur causeway. There is a raw bar serving a wide range of seafood, and the menu offers a large selection of fish and seafood dishes. There is an outdoor eating area for guests to dine al fresco in an area with a tiki hut theme, and there is even an outdoor swimming pool."

"Start a day of business meetings or sightseeing by fueling up at this popular, buzzing cafe located in the bustling neighborhood of Coconut Grove. Whether you're grabbing a bagel, pastry or croissant to go or you're settling into while away the morning with a full meal and the daily news, this is the perfect choice for locals and tourists alike. GreenStreet offers indoor seating but it's the outdoor tables that are always busiest, often with patrons who bring their furry friends to this dog-friendly establishment."

"The platters are super filling and generous, so go there with plenty of room in your stomach. There are sit-down dining and outdoor seating. They offer delivery and takeout too."

"Open only for dinner, this cozy restaurant serves some of the best food in Midtown Miami. Award-winning chef Michelle Bernestein creatively designs menu items that are sure to make your mouth water. Try meals like beet risotto, sweetbread tacos, scallops tempura, and more."

"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."

"Restaurants Brazilian Shenandoah / Silver Bluff. Get sugared up at this kitschy shop and coffee bar serving 20-plus flavors of Brazilian brigadeiros: truffle-like balls made from condensed milk, butter and chocolate and covered in chocolate sprinkles. While these treats are the focus, the coffee shouldn’t be missed—plus it subs in as dessert."

"Back in Coral Gables we have yet another French bistro for you to add to your daily rotation. Frenchie’s Diner has been serving up the classic lunch and dinner staples every day but Sunday and Monday. This charming locale has everything you want from a neighborhood Brasserie–from a low-key diner atmosphere, an owner that knows you by name, and solid comfort food that never fails."
