Top Best American Restaurants in Olympia Heights

"Perched at the top of South Beach’s 1111 Lincoln Road building, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron, Juvia offers spectacular scenery along with a winning menu. With both indoor and outdoor seating, a vertical garden and 280-degree views of Greater Miami stretching from the beach to Biscayne Bay, you’ll feel like you’re on top of the world. The cuisine at this fine-dining establishment combines French techniques with Asian and Latin flavors."

"If you time your arrival right, you can catch the sunset through floor-to-ceiling windows or in the rooftop dining room complete with vertical gardens. With panoramic views of South Beach and beyond, this penthouse-level hot spot is a great place to impress your date. The menu isn’t too shabby either, offering an eclectic mix of contemporary takes on Japanese, French, and Peruvian cuisine."

"The brunch menu is split between sweet and savory making it easy to order dessert for breakfast. Go for the Chai waffles with whipped espresso cream and spiced syrup. Maybe the espresso cream will help fight off the sugar coma."

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

"A classic chocolate cake never fails at any party, and Big Pink has been helping make celebrations more festive with its Chocolate Skyscraper for the past 23 years. At the South Beach diner, the tried-and-true creation is often ordered for the table and can serve two to four people per slice ($12.75). Forks will plunge deep into this four-layer feast, held together by a rich pudding."

"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."

"It’s a comfort food extravaganza and a glutton’s smorgasbord every day at Big Pink, the beach’s most beloved all-American diner. An excellent choice if … […]"

"Restaurants American Little Haiti / Lemon City. Danny Serfer doubled the size of his hip, cozy diner in MiMo, giving you more room to dig into his delicious hangover-curing, comfort food. Head to the covered patio or the new outdoor beer garden for the usual “eggy stuff” and “syrupy stuff,” including a bacon-egg-and-cheese burrito the size of your head."

"Though in many cities brunch is reserved for Saturday and Sunday, other cities also have people with jobs they can legally explain. Blue Collar gets Miami’s flex schedule lifestyle and offers a full brunch menu all day, every day. So if you’re hankering for brioche French toast, shrimp and grits, or a massive breakfast burrito with chipotle sour cream and 3pm on a Monday, they’re happy to oblige."

"This wine bar and restaurant has a jazzy New-Orleans theme to it, perfect for anyone looking to try a different kind of Southern experience. This juke joint has live music every night to create a funky vibe while you enjoy tasty BBQ or a grilled meal. The menu is fixed, but all items come with a side salad and authentic southern cornbread."

"Get creative at Lagniappe, a homey New Orleans–style wine house with a backyard grill and live music every night. They don’t take reservations, so you’ll wait in line to order simple grilled fish or chicken or the cheese and..."

"The Local House serves up a seafood-centric menu in this lovely restaurant located in the Sense Beach House Hotel. The decor is decidedly ocean chic, with model ships on display, rustic wood- paneled bars, and seating, tables, and light fixtures that would look more at home on a yacht than on land. Guests can peruse the breakfast menu while enjoying a Bloody Mary, Kir Royale, glass or a pitcher of mimosa or Bellini, or one of The Local House’s other great breakfast cocktails."

"Anywhere that has an everyday brunch automatically gets an A in my book. Until 5 pm everyday you can enjoy a plate of eggs benedict or banana pancakes inside the luxurious Sense Beach House Hotel. And while you’re there, make sure to try the exclusive burger special courtesy of @thenaughtyfork on Instagram."

"My friend and I was on vacation in Miami fond the Local House on our gps app. This restaurant deserves 5 stars (food, service, ambiance, noise level etc)."

"Outpost of the upscale steakhouse chain offers classic American fare & a clubby, refined setting. Curbside Takeout & Delivery. Menu:thecapitalgrille.com"

"If you’re feeling ambitious on your townie cruiser, you can ride north to Bal Harbour or Haulover beaches; natives know these as water-sports havens—and for Bal Harbour’s luxury shopping. Otherwise, drop off your bike along Ocean Drive and grab a spot on the beach, Lummus Beach, which runs from around 6th to 14th streets. This is a beach for locals and tourists alike, and the spread of humanity—supermodels, families and even topless tanners—make this a go-to spot for people-watching."

"A post shared by JEREMY D. BOYD ADVERTISING (@jeremydboyd_miaminewtimes) on Dec 7, 2017 at 11:24am PST. For some fancy Chinese-style fine-dining, don’t miss Da Tang Zhen Wei Restaurant in the neighborhood of Brickell. Their specialty is Chinese hotpot made with the freshest ingredients on offer."

"Ethiopian-Swedish chef Marcus Samuelsson has finally opened Red Rooster Overtown after months of COVID-induced delays. This is the third Red Rooster (the original is in Harlem, a second is located in London), and it promises to shine a light on Overtown's historical and cultural importance as the formative center of Black arts and music in Miami. As such, Red Rooster will act as a venue for local musicians to showcase their talents while diners enjoy dishes such as "Hot Honey Yardbird" (Samuelsson’s famed fried chicken) and "Obama’s Short Ribs" (a dish served to the former president at the original Red Rooster)."

"Marcus Samuelsson brought the restaurant concept that exploded him on to the national stage to Overtown, one of Miami's first Black neighborhoods, and he couldn't have done it any better. The food is a harmonious mix of soul food with Latin and Caribbean flavors, like the cornbread with rum butter and the Yard Bird that uses less batter than the Harlem location, and adds a sour orange hot honey. But just as important as the menu is the atmosphere, which is rollicking and vibrant."
