Best Fine Dining in Coral Gables

"Helmed by Chef Jeremy Ford, this Miami Beach mainstay serves up fresh and creative fare made from seasonal, often locally sourced ingredients. You can dine on tasty homemade potato rolls with fennel pollen and garbanzo chili dip, succulent scallops with coconut chili emulsion, baby spinach and sunchokes, and prime Wagyu beef cheek paired with crispy charred maitakes. If you’re a sweets lover, don’t miss the decadent snickerdoodle cookies, baked fresh in house and served warm straight from the oven."

"Make a reservation and enjoy the delectable culinary experience of Stubborn Seed – the brainchild of Top Chef season 13 winner, Jeremy Ford. With a choice of the chef’s tasting menu or a la carte dishes, the pared-back decor ensures the food is always in the spotlight at this fine dining restaurant."

"While grabbing a table at Stubborn Seed is usually hard to do, now that it offers takeout, guests can try out the cuisine anytime they’d like. Opt for the warm celery root, crunchy truffle potatoes, and the wagyu filet. And don’t miss the gooey snickerdoodle cookies for dessert."

"Once a 1930s-era gas station and later a 1980s diner, this oyster bar has become quite a hit with folks in Edgewater, and the adjacent Midtown and Wynwood neighborhoods. Owned by Blue Collar's own Danny Serfer and Ryan Roman, it's the perfect spot to satiate your seafood cravings. Peel-and-eat shrimp, caviar, rainbow trout, seared scallops, crab cakes, and oysters both raw and Rockefeller are all on the menu."

"Cooking in a state surrounded on three sides by water, Florida chefs typically know a thing or two about seafood. Opened in mid-2014 by Miami natives, Edgewater restaurant Mignonette makes a splash with its modern take on the traditional oyster bar. With an old-Florida-meets-New-Orleans vibe, the space features tufted camel-colored banquettes, a long marble bar and oversize arched windows with palm views."

"A modern take on the classic seafood restaurant by Blue Collar chef Danny Serfer and partner Ryan Roman. Described by critics and guests as a “plain and fancy” oyster heaven, it also features plenty of other seafood items, as well as non-sea dwelling options like prime rib, chicken, and its famous veggie board."

"If steak is more up your street, Smith & Wollensky Miami Beach is another great place to watch the sun set across the Miami skyline. The famous American steakhouse has a large outdoor patio area, perfectly positioned for a romantic dinner beneath the stars."

"This classic steakhouse perched in the South of Fifth neighborhood is just as popular for its views as it is for its meat selection. Opt to grab one of its steaks to-go, or dine outside and enjoy a meal and a sunset view."

"Eat first-rate steaks while cruise ships sail by Nothing says "I love you" like cutting into a giant hunk of bloody meat across from your special someone, right?"

"The team behind celeb-favorite Sugar Factory launched the first Happy Place Donuts on Española Way in South Beach with a glass-enclosed kitchen allowing visitors to watch the donuts being made. While you can keep it simple and delicious by ordering a chocolate glazed or the original Happy Donut with a vanilla glaze, go for the outrageously fun options that include a rainbow donut topped with Skittles, monkey bread with sea salt cream cheese frosting, or a crispy Nutella donut. The Hot & Happy Dough Balls, a bag of brioche dough balls sprinkled in powdered sugar, are another popular choice."

"Last but not least, there's Happy Place Donuts, another downtown favorite with four stars out of 18 reviews. While gourmet doughnuts are first on the menu here, the gelato case is also worth inspecting, according to Yelpers. Stop by 507 Española Way to hit up the bakery and ice cream parlor next time it's too hot to contemplate being outside without a cooling treat."

"What do you get when you pair Chef Katsuya Uechi with designer Philippe Starck?. A butterfly decorated contemporary sushi lounge. The atmosphere is not the only attraction about Katsuya; the food is justifiably a crowd pleaser."

"A perennial favorite in the dim sum category, Tropical -- surprise -- also serves a great din-din. Traditional dishes include Hong Kong-style roast pork flavored with five-spice and then roasted; seafood-spinach soup; and always crisp, always succulent Peking duck. But innovative items are equally reliable, if unusual -- flounder pan-fried with peppercorns and jalapeños and served with bananas marinated in rice wine, for example, offers interesting counterpoints of textures, as does cherry-plum chicken wrapped with diced water chestnuts and fresh bamboo in egg-white crêpes."

"Find Chinese cuisine at its best at this spacious, airy restaurant. Devoid of all the typical decorative trappings, the minimalist interior at Tropical Chinese is always full of fans clamoring for some of the best dim sum in town. Cantonese and Mandarin dishes are specialties, and the menu is dotted with unexpected items ranging from early leaves of snow pea pods to fried chicken feet."

"A Miami institution since 1984, Tropical Chinese has been doling out dim sum since the local food scene was not much more than a croqueta. In true pushcart fashion, diners settle in with a warm cup of tea and watch the pork buns pass by. Can’t-miss bites include dumplings on dumplings, shrimp rolls, and roasted duck."

"115 NE 3rd Ave, MiamiThe same man behind CVI.CHE 105, Juan Chipoco, and his team have been famous for multiple different Peruvian and South American restaurants all across Miami. Pollos & Jarras is one of his many ventures that has won the hearts of Miami residents with its décor, food, style, theme and ambience.Initially dogged by quality control issues, the Pollos & Jarras team has stepped up its game in the past few years and ensured that it makes a name for itself in the market. It now receives rave reviews consistently and it should."

"Whisk your date away to an enchanted garden and lead them into the dimly lit cave that is Cafe Roval. Dine outside under the moonlight or head inside to enjoy an intimate wine cafe setting where you can enjoy your food along with one of their 100 artisanal wines available. Simply put, this place is a total showstopper, making it great if you’re truly looking to impress."

"Imagine dining with your partner in a 1920s, European-style colonial house, under soft lights, while listening to soothing music. This charming location features a dream garden where time seemingly stood still. It offers guests a Mediterranean menu and a wine list with more than 80 remarkable options."

"Restaurants Seafood Downtown. For years, the Epic Hotel’s rooftop bar and restaurant was a magnet for business types grabbing a drink after work in the area. But even without its beat-the-clock happy hour, Area 31 is still luring the locals with its unparalleled views of Downtown and well-priced bites and sips."

"Located on the 16th Floor of the Kimpton Epic Hotel, one of the best hotels in Miami, Area 31 is a popular happy hour spot with gorgeous views overlooking sparkling Miami waterways and downtown Miami. The food is locally sourced with a seafood-centric menu with a Mediterranean flavor. At the bar, you’ll find seasonal cocktails and an international wine list."
