Top Best American Restaurants in Key Biscayne

"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."

"A contemporary restaurant buzzing atop the 1111 Lincoln Road mixed-use building and parking garage, Juvia is a welcome breather from one of Miami’s most popular tourist destinations. Diners take a separate elevator up to a terrace for French, Japanese, and Peruvian plates, along with specialty cocktails and South Beach sights."

"Set atop the chains of Lincoln Road, Juvia is located in penthouse of the 1111 Lincoln Road parking garage, offering picturesque views of South Beach from every angle from its outdoor terrace."

"Time Out lists Stubborn Seed as one of the best places to dine in South Beach. It is run by Jeremy Ford, who won Top Chef. There is a seasonally changing menu that reflects the availability of fresh local produce."

"There were some pretty small portions, but some really great tastes. We didn't love everything we tried, but it was definite..."

"SoFiWhat you're getting: Giant Chocolate Chip CookieWe’d tell you to never try and eat one of these cookies-the-size-of-your-head alone, but if you’re eating at Big Pink during the hours that one usually eats at Big Pink, counting calories isn’t exactly in the top 10 on your priority list. So if you’re not going for one of these burgers, get this longtime SoFi dessert staple, equivalent to about five that you’d get at Starbucks."

"If you’re a pink lover like me, you must pay a visit to Big Pink while in Miami. This retro-style restaurant features a Pepto-Bismol-pink façade and belly-warming comfort food. I came purely for the gram/blog and unfortunately didn’t eat here."

"With its diner decor and multiple TVs, Big Pink has plenty to keep your kids busy. Come with your appetite; the restaurant is known for its enormous portions. Kids love the Big Pink TV dinner, which comes on a funky metal tray."

"Little Havana’s shining star offers up Latin bites and beer in an intimate setting that includes a hidden back patio with a tropical vibe. The restaurant boasts locally-sourced ingredients and an award-winning chorizo croquettes dish. Order those for sure and compliment your starter with a short rib burger or a pan con bistec (juicy steak sandwich)."

"Tucked away in Little Havana, Doce Provisions serves up a waffle with some serious Florida flair. Its standout Key Lime Pie Waffles are covered in graham cracker crumbs and topped with plenty of whipped cream, meaning it’s basically like having pie for breakfast — and who doesn't love that?"

"Over in City Center, check out The Social Club, which has earned four stars out of 1,019 reviews on Yelp. When you're in the mood for brunch, you can find the cocktail bar and New American restaurant at 1717 Collins Ave."

"Came to the surfcomber for a weekend trip after being fully vaxxed!. I was so glad the social club's brunch was amazing and convenient!. Marlon was our waiter…”more"

"Some say the path to perfection is through simplicity and Crumb on Parchment aims to prove that point beyond a shadow of a doubt. This casual American cafe specializes in breakfast and lunch with deliciously creative soups, salads, sandwiches, and baked goods, all at affordable prices. Burritos with various fillings, meatballs with salad, pulled pork sandwiches, the vegetarian sandwich (with carrots, pickled radish, avocado, sprouts, and cheddar) and panzanella salads are among the many offerings at this sunny establishment."

"Crumb on Parchment is the bakery and cafe from James Beard Award-winning chef Michelle Bernstein inside the atrium of the Melin Building in Miami's Design District. The sweet smell of fresh pastries, cakes and other baked goods beckon you to take a break from your shopping adventure for scrumptious treats. Family recipes are the source of some of the cafe's most popular cakes and pies including the German chocolate and the strawberry rhubarb tart."

"James Beard Award-winning chef Michelle Bernstein is one of Miami’s shining stars, with a resume that runs from restaurants and cookbooks to appearances on Top Chef. Sample a taste of her Latin-inspired cuisine at casual cafe concept Crumb on Parchment. Pop by the cafe in the Miami Design District, where Bernstein’s mom helps bake some of sweet treats that top off revamped lunch staples like truffle grilled cheese with wild mushrooms."

"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants Contemporary American Downtown. Overlooking Biscayne Bay from the covered deck of the Pérez Art Museum Miami, this simple eatery appears to be nothing more than a museum restaurant with a good view. But sit down and try one of Executive Chef Kaytlin Dangaran’s trendy plates—such as the butternut squash and fig pizza—and you’ll be tempted to stick around long after you’ve perused the art."

"Grab a seat at Verde’s expansive covered patio overlooking Biscayne Bay and dine on dishes like prosciutto pizza, its popular chicken under a brick, and grilled salmon. Of course leave room for dessert as its chef Hedy Goldsmith brings back her popular pastries to the restaurant."

"Making sure both your stomach and your wallet are full: That's what the folks at Mama Jennie's, home to delicious, reasonably priced Italian comfort food, have been doing for more than 30 years. Hearty soup or crispy salad with your choice of dressing (the zesty house vinaigrette is a favorite) and garlic rolls lightly doused in flavorful oil begin your meal. Myriad main courses include whopping servings of classics such as baked ziti with meatballs; veal Parmesan; eggplant rollatini; lasagna; gnocchi; and stuffed shells, all accompanied by Mama's lively marinara sauce."

"Congelatte is famous for its delicious strawberry walnut pavlova dessert; a crispy walnut meringue-based dessert, topped with dulce de leche, whipped cream and fresh strawberries. It comes in sizes that can serve up to 32 people."

"This Sicilian bakery is as authentic as it gets in Miami, and anything with their ricotta cream is amazing (although they have a bunch of other flavors as well). Their menu sounds like a (delicious) Italian poem: cannoli, sfogliatella, bombolone, arancine, calzone, and pizetta, to name just a few. Best of all, everything is super affordable."

"Grate sicilian pastries the tiramisu is excellent a bit price for gelato recomend kids menu including gelato still a local place More reviews"

"The folks at River Oyster established the restaurant in 2003 with the intent to create a local place where patrons could get high-quality seafood from only the finest sources. You’ll find a large selection of oysters to choose from as well as flatbreads, pasta dishes, and other seafood options. If you have someone in your party that isn’t a big fan of seafood, there are several menu items that are sure to appease them, all of which are just as carefully sourced as their seafood counterparts."

"The River Oyster Bar is a stylish restaurant located at 33 SE 7th St Suite 100 that specialized in local and organic seafood and also features a long list of wines and happy hours. All the seafood items are sourced directly from farmers and fisherman and locals as much as possible. Even the fishes are purchased whole and butchered in-house to keep the freshness intact."
