From the top of the 1111 building, this restaurant looks east across Miami Beach at the largest collection of art deco buildings in the world, then out onto the Atlantic Ocean."

"Listen, stunning views don’t alway equal romance, but at Juvia they sure do.

Oh, and did we mention the sweeping views of Miami Beach?"

"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants American Little Haiti / Lemon City. Blue Collar’s portions are to be both admired and feared. Chef Daniel Serfer’s cozy MiMo spot apparently swore a blood oath to never send a patron home hungry and has been making good on that promise with delicious Caribbean, New Orleans and Jewish comfort food."

"The term “comfort food” never made more sense than it does right now, when your anxiety can be easily quelled by a big, savory side of beef.
