Top Best American Restaurants in Star Island

"Listen, stunning views don’t alway equal romance, but at Juvia they sure do. Head to the top of the 1111 building to enjoy an evening of art deco design and a lush green plant wall that cascades down the sides of this restaurant’s impressive terrace. Oh, and did we mention the sweeping views of Miami Beach?"

"Restaurants South Beach. No matter the time of year, sunset dinners at Juvia are marked by candy-colored skies. Consider it a free show or part of the experience when you dine at the Lincoln Road restaurant."

"If you’re looking for a nice dinner spot in South of Fifth - maybe to celebrate a special occasion or just the fact that you made it across the MacArthur in less than five minutes - Stubborn Seed is the best place to go. It’s a small spot that feels like an old-school cocktail lounge that ran into a steel mill, with lots of dark wood and metal pipes lining the leather booths. The reason you come here, though, is for the excellent food, which changes up regularly, but always includes lots of fresh seafood."

"It’s actually Top Chef winner Jeremy Ford’s South Beach restaurant. While his savory food is delicious, what we really can’t get enough of is pastry chef Dallas Wynne’s snickerdoodles. They’re served warm and oozing with a rich chocolate filling."

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

"Down in Miami Beach, this iconic diner lives up to its name. Yes, the restaurant is as pink as it is big, and this whimsical joint serves up all-American, kid-friendly food with a side of nostalgia. Go here for all-day breakfast, burgers, chicken fingers, and TV-dinner style trays made from scratch."

"Its deco pink exterior combined with the pink buggy parked right out front make this spot the perfect Instagrammable spot for you!"

"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)."

"Serving up generous portions of gourmet American comfort food, this neighbourhood joint has a canteen-like feel, but the devastatingly delicious menu options and excellent craft beer selection more than make up for it."

"When you’re in the mood for a little Italian comfort food, head over to Jack’s Miami. It’s a family friendly restaurant without feeling like a kids’ restaurant. This charming spot is known for its generous portions, budget-friendly prices, and recipes straight from Nona’s kitchen."

"The Hotel of South Beac has a stylish restaurant and a roof top pool - a great spot from which to enjoy sunsets, views of the water, and relax with a cocktail. Guests who want to work out can do so at the fitness studio. Or head for the beach with a complimentary beach chairs and umbrella provided by the hotel."

"This speakeasy-inspired bar in Coral Gables looks to classic New Orleans watering holes for inspiration. When you walk through the nondescript door, you'll find a lounge area with red leather couches. The space opens to the main room, resplendent with a mahogany bar lined with leather-upholstered stools."

"Situated inside the University of Miami, this long-standing museum is a favorite for UM students and the Coral Gables community. The Lowe is home to a well-rounded collection of art from the Italian Renaissance, Baroque, Greco-Roman, and Spanish Old Masters, among others. The museum also holds a sizeable assortment of Native American, African, and Asian art and antiquities."

Antiques fill the large entertainment space; elegant sofas and a mix of intimate seating invites you to enjoy whatever live band is playing on stage. There’s a lovely bar in the front of the house, with a New Orleans-style courtyard and fountain beyond."

"Restaurants Coffee shops South Beach. The latest from restaurateur Jason Odio (Baby Jane, La Otra) is a healthy(ish) Cuban-American café named for his grandfather. Order a café con leche with coconut or almond milk, and fill up on chorizo-manchego croquetas or dulce de leche cookies from Stubborn Seed’s Dallas Wynne, who’s a partner on the project."

"A neighborhood staple as well as a dining destination along the beach, you won’t find better coffee in Miami than at Bebito’s Cafe. Not only do the roasters take exquisite care of the beans, their chefs bring artistry to the breakfast table. At Bebito’s you’ll be drinking their Private Label coffee blend."

"South Beach desperately needs more coffee shops where one can concentrate without having to wrestle with a family of French tourists over the only seat near a power outlet. Bebito’s is just such a place. It’s in the lobby of a residential building slightly away from always-busy Alton Road."

"In a year where being able to work remotely has actually become an option for many people, Freehold is a dream come true. This Wynwood bar was designed to be a place that offered all of the luxuries of a hotel but without having any rooms. This is a place where you can spend a day working or having meetings with clients/friends/coworkers without having to pay the exorbitant fees associated with coworking spaces."

"Bar Food , Pizza"

"While many people know the Miami drink scene for its all-night parties, nightclub bottle service and sexy, celebrity-filled lounges, a rise in South Florida’s craft beer scene has sparked plenty of breweries, as well. From Coral Gables and Doral to Wynwood, South Beach and beyond, get your fill with a pint from any of these Miami-based breweries. With everyone experimenting with their own kind of brews, you’re sure to find a craft beer you love, too."

A rooftop bar, makers’ market, and creative roster of workshops round out the community hangout, along with representation from local hot spots like Taquiza and Vice City Bean.

"But there’s something different at the 15,000-square-foot Citadel in Little River: a massive rooftop bar complete with handcrafted cocktails and stunning views of downtown. Don’t mind us—we’ll be casually spending our entire Saturday here. Seriously… brunch till happy hour…"
