"Set up in a modern penthouse with views of Miami Beach, Juvia is the local’s go-to when it comes to rooftop restaurants.

Decorated in a lovely lilac and white motif underneath the starry-night sky, this outdoor restaurant checks all the boxes so that you can focus on sealing the deal."

"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."
