Best Dinner Places to Eat in Glenvar Heights

"At this ultramodern rooftop restaurant over the Herzog & de Meuron-designed parking garage on Lincoln Road, the views are compelling, the decor is slick and comfortable, and the feeling is singular for South Beach. The menu, which includes both breakfast- and lunch-oriented plates, begins with a choice of a salad made with avocado, tomato, and Hawaiian hearts of palm; pink shrimp acevichado; beef carpaccio; or granola with yogurt, fresh fruit, and honey. Then, opt for one of the following: a smoked salmon eggs Benedict; branzino a la plancha; truffle spinach-mushroom quiche; or grilled skirt steak."

"Juvia is one of the best restaurants in South Beach for a brunch experience. Located on Lincoln Road not only does Juvia impress with its large rooftop terrace and amazing views over the city but the food is equally as amazing as are the cocktails!. Normally, Juvia has a $65 buffet but during current times the menu is a little different."

"The homey feeling you get from Mandolin is no accident: more than a decade ago, husband and wife team Ahmet Erkaya and Anastasia Koutsioukis came across a quaint little 1940s bungalow in the Design District (before it was the “Design District”) and determined it would be the perfect canvas for their dream restaurant: a charming little Greek cottage focused on serving simply prepared bites of Greek and Turkish cuisine. And with a menu divided into mezes, salads, sandwiches, mains, and sides, the restaurant makes it easy to indulge in as much—or as little—as you feel like. Plus, the whole Mediterranean sea bass—grilled with olive oil, lemon, and oregano—is as delightful to Instagram as it is to eat."

"Mandolin is going to make an appearance in any conversation you have about where to eat in Miami. It’s like Stan Lee in Marvel superhero movies, and its cameo is inevitable, expected, and somehow always feels appropriate. Everyone eats here because it’s one of the prettiest outdoor restaurants in the city."

"Oh Mandolin, how I love you and wish a boy would take me on a date here (shameless self-promotion, but whatever). This little indoor/outdoor Greek restaurant sits in the heart of Midtown Miami and it’s romantic ambience will definitely get you in the mood…for food, of course."

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."
