"Buena VistaThe story behind this candlelit outdoor spot in a 1940s bungalow is almost as charming as its setting. A Greek/Turkish couple who overcame historic differences recognized their lifelong dream of combining their culinary cultures, and opened the place in 2009. Since then, it’s seen thousands of first dates (and, we assume, even more third dates) and offers up a menu of grilled meats and savory spreads that would be phenomenal even if you weren’t dining under the stars.How to book: Reserve via Resy or order take-out online."

"Offering a menu full of delicious Greek and Turkish cuisine, Mandolin Aegean Bistro is situated in Miami's Design District. Founded in 2009 by husband and wife, Ahmet Erkaya and Anastasia Koutsioukis, the idea behind Mandolin was to serve simple, unpretentious, healthy food using fresh ingredients in a welcoming atmosphere. With a peaceful outdoor dining area, and a garden growing seasonal ingredients for the dishes, it's clear that Ahmet and Anastasia have achieved their goal with Mandolin."

"A cozy bungalow with old family recipes If food can make the Greeks and Turks fall in love, clearly it’ll work wonders for your date. This spot set in an old 1940s Buena Vista bungalow was founded by a Greek/Turkish couple who’ve taken their family recipes and are serving them in a Christmas light-draped courtyard. Sharing the Greek or Turkish samplers is but the beginning of a night or romance, as you converse across dim light over tirokafteri or hummus and eggplant."

This restaurant from nightlife impresario David Grutman serves an inventive menu of plant-based fare.

In addition, cold-press cocktails, juices and shots are also on hand to wash back the cuisine. View this post on Instagram"
