Top Best American Restaurants in The Hammocks

"The best dinner view in Miami, period Busting out your phone on a romantic night out is about the fastest way to ensure there’s not another date... but it’s almost impossible when presented with the art deco tableau spread out in front of you at Juvia. 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."

"Described as having one of the best rooftop views in the city, Juvia’s got a menu to impress. While the plates are on the smaller side, the flavors and presentation will have you feeling fine and fancy. The ultra modern space serves up a French, Japanese, and Peruvian inspired menu."

"Tucked away in South Beach’s South of Fifth neighborhood, this spot is worth visiting. Top Chef winner Jeremy Ford’s restaurant offers indulgent multi-course tasting menus centered on New American cuisine. Every meal ends with crowd-pleasing snickerdoodles, served warm and oozing with a rich chocolate filling."

"Top Chef winner Jeremy Ford is executing high-end meals at South of Fifth’s Stubborn Seed with dishes like a seared foie gras with pumpkin, crispy duck with creamy grits, and poached Maine lobster. The menu rotates constantly with plenty of seasonal a la carte options as well as eight-course tasting menus."

"Chef Jeremy Ford's food is as beautiful to view as it is delicious to eat. The menu, available a la carte or as an eight-course tasting menu, changes often, so it's hard to pinpoint one dish to try consistently. But if you're ordering a la carte, don't skip the snacks."

"Big Pink is one of the most popular restaurants for breakfast in South Beach. Part of the Myles restaurant group Big Pink has been serving guests since 1996 with over 200 different menu items. So everyone in your group will find something to eat!"

"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."

"I've heard about this spot and was taken here for my birthday and it did NOT disappoint at all. Started off with a thick and delicious crab cake tha..."

"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."

"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. Nobody does brisket better than Blue Collar, where you can still enjoy that braised beef with mashed potatoes and jus, with nothing to clean up after your food coma.Cost: $20; Orders by calling the restaurant at 305.756.0366"

"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."

"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."

"As a restaurant alone, R House is unique in that it is also an art gallery featuring local artists – we wouldn’t expect anything less for a restaurant in the Wynwood art district, of course. But what truly makes this a popular brunch in Miami is the Drag Brunch hosted on Saturdays and Sundays!. R House offers four different packages for brunch that include a main dish and a choice of either unlimited side dishes, bottomless brunch drinks – mimosas, white wine sangria, mojitos – a combination of both, or two sides and the bottomless drinks."

"R House is a fine dining restaurant and lounge with an art gallery right in the heart of Miami’s Wynwood arts district, serving a contemporary and eclectic mix of American, Mediterranean, Asian and Latin dishes. R House provides patrons the opportunity to admire and acquire art as well as enjoy DJs and live music.

"Martha Stewart stamps this as "the most beautiful spa in America," so if you're gonna book a treatment at Lapis Spa, then you might as well go big and reserve the Bleau private spa suite.

"At this artisanal donut shop tucked away in a shopping center in South Miami and at The Falls in Pinecrest, the donuts are made fresh each day from decades of family recipes. Like its name, there is a signature Honeybee Doughnut, a raised doughnut stuffed with fresh whip cream and local honey, but the menu is vast when it comes to everyday donuts and specialty flavors. Pretend like it’s your birthday and order the festive Happy Birthday donut or go for the dulce de leche, guava with cream cheese, s’mores topped with roasted marshmallows, or the epic Oreo doughnut with buttercream."

"This doughnut shop just made its way to a second location at The Falls, while it’s original South Miami location undergoes a renovation. Doughnut lovers who visit Honeybee will find more than a dozen daily doughnut flavors including the signature Honeybee doughnut, a raised doughnut filled with fresh whipped cream and local honey.

"Given the lack of Indian food options in Miami in general, Raja’s is a spice-filled oasis in Downtown Miami. They close pretty early, so this is mostly a lunch spot when you’re craving that mid-day chicken tikka masala. With a lunch special for $8 that gives you a smattering of dishes, from samosas to sesame rice, you can’t go wrong."

"It was very hard to decide what I liked most about Cote, a Korean steakhouse in the Design District. There was the fact that the entire staff seemed to be sharing a single consciousness like a beehive, as they effortlessly tended to the beef sizzling away on the grill located in the center of the table. There was the restaurant’s design, which made me feel like I was eating 1,000 years in the future."
