Best Fine Dining in Palm Springs North

"There might be warm celery root paired with crackling maitake or house-made pasta dotted with asparagus and guanciale in its current rotation. Guests can order à la carte or let Ford decide what they’re going to eat, thanks to the option of a five- or eight-course tasting menu. Weekend brunch is just as popular, flaunting a three-course prix-fixe menu: expect chai waffles with whipped espresso cream, strawberry doughnuts and warm sticky buns swirled with brown butter."

"SoFiThe tasting menu is all the rage at Top Chef’s season 13 winner Jeremy Ford’s Miami venture. With items that change constantly based on what’s in season, every visit to this alluring outpost is a titillating adventure for the taste buds. The kitchen is roughly the same size as the dining room, with its hustling crew on full display through glass windows."

"When they renovated this former 1930s gas station across from a historic Miami cemetery, they did a fantastic job of keeping the floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the cozy banquettes and tables with light. There is usually a diverse bunch of customers, from locals craving fresh oysters to business types wanting to impress their clients with the several kinds of caviar on the menu. And that is the interesting thing about Mignonette: It is both fancy and unpretentious, so everyone fits in."

"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."

"If you were looking for the Mad Men experience in Miami, then you will want to get a steak at Smith & Wollensky. This is a classic steakhouse with a beautiful view of South Pointe Park and all the luxurious cuts of meat you can imagine. Most of the cuts are dry-aged, although there are a few unexpected options like the gorgonzola bacon crusted filet."

"If you want a top steak with your view, Smith and Wollensky is the place. Its spacious indoor and outdoor areas provide plenty of room for safe dining during the pandemic. It features a beautiful waterside setting with large outdoor patios."

"Established by restaurateurs Mauro Bortignon, Stefano Cavinato, and Tommaso Morelato, Toscana Divino is an authentic Italian restaurant in Miami offering traditional and modern Tuscan dishes in the heart of the Mary Bricknell Village.

"We changed into dry clothes and headed to breakfast at Terra Mare, which was located at our hotel. The service was awesome and we were happy that it had stopped raining so that we could enjoy breakfast out on the patio. The Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes were excellent, but the omelet we ordered was pretty average. Definitely order pancakes instead of the omelet!"

"You can enjoy sweeping panoramic views of Fort Lauderdale Beach at Terra Mare. The Conrad’s beautiful hotel restaurant has an expansive tiered patio that’s perfect for enjoying one of their signature cocktails or shared plates. Their food is fresh and locally sourced, with a mix of popular tastes from around the world."

"If you are craving an enjoyable experience with excellent seafood and service, you must make Terra Mare your spot for seafood. Indulge in a delicious cocktail or wine option from the extensive listings. Enjoy Happy Hour from 1-7 PM every day!"

"Opulence and decadence abound at Caviar Russe Miami, a second outpost of the legendary NYC caviar restaurant. Caviar Russe is the spot to go for diners who want to drink champagne,"

"For a decadent, lavish type of fun – the kind associated with copious servings of caviar and chilled seafood towers plus champagne and vodka – head to Caviar Russe in Brickell."

"There is something for everyone at this waterfront steakhouse, as the menu consists of both steaks and seafood dishes. Therefore, it is a good option if you are dining out with a group of friends that consists of both seafood enthusiasts and meat lovers. The seafood options include dishes such as whole lobster, crab cakes, and crispy calamari."

"No question about it, this enchanting local favorite waterfront steakhouse exudes luxury. Located in the Hyatt, Grill 66 offers balcony dining that overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway. Available for the boating enthusiasts who want to arrive in style is a convenient 400 foot dock."

"The speakeasy underneath Faena Hotel Miami Beach is the place to go to sip timeless cocktails in an equally timeless (and very exclusive) setting. If you can’t get past the often impenetrable door, soothe your ego with some smooth live jazz at The Living Room upstairs. 3201 Collins Ave.Miami Beach, FL 33140+1-305-534-8800"

"Wakefield consistently serves up some of the best craft brews in the area, direct from its Star Wars-themed brewery and tap room in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood. El Jefe, a German Hefeweizen brewed with coconut flakes, is a long-time favorite here, but the special releases are gems to keep an eye out for."

"For craft beer nerds, J. Wakefield and Concrete Beach make some of the city’s best local brews. Cocktail enthusiasts will love the speakeasy-like back room at Coyo Taco – you’ll just walk through the door at the back of the restaurant marked “Staff Only” to access the hidden, dimly-lit mezcal lounge."

"Review: Fast and friendly service, great sours, quirky and cool. Also located in Wynwood, J. Wakefield is an independently owned brewery and taproom established in 2015. They take pride in making beers outside the norm, like a coconut-infused Hefeweizen."

"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Coral Gables. This South Miami neighborhood spot is a mainstay for traditional, no-fuss ice cream. Servings are cheap, cookies are freshly baked and the staff—made up of mostly teens and kids from the area—are cheery and eager to let you try whatever is in the freezer."

"This place has occupied its tiny little storefront on Sunset Drive for decades. Their milkshakes are so thick you can barely get them through a straw, and their chocolate malt shake is as classic as it gets. No fancy machines, no exotic flavors, just some of the best classic ice cream around, with generous scoops."

"This family owned ice cream shop is just off Sunset and has the best ice cream in Miami. Bold statement, I know, but I speak the truth. And, they don’t just stop at ice cream, their cookie cups happen to be the greatest of all time."

"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Design District. Pastry chef Soraya Caraccioli-Kilgore’s playful dessert spot sells vibrant unicorn cakes, rich chocolate bark and soft-serve in unexpected flavors. Her ice cream, in varieties such as matcha and berry rhubarb, is already pretty special yet she always finds a way to kick it up a notch with add-ons like edible glitter, gold leaf, gold dust, cotton candy and fancy sprinkles—and we’re all the more grateful for it."

"Soraya Kilgore — best known as the pastry chef at restaurants like Brava and Alter — is the woman behind this palace of sweets in Miami's Design District. MadLab Creamery isn't just about the ice cream, however. This spot also entices young and old to create their own sweet-treat work of art via more than 30 toppings, including edible glitter, tufts of pink cotton candy, golden-sheet sprinkles, even a macaroon or two."

"Pay a visit with your little ones to the Miami’s Children Museum, which offers interactive exhibits and learning materials related to arts, literacy, culture, community and communication. The museum is for sure one of the top fun museums in Miami for families, as it has also been awarded in the past as “Best Museum in Miami” by the Miami New Times and the “Best Children’s Museum” by South Florida Parenting Magazine. Families tend to enjoy this museum, as it is an “institution” where they can play, learn, imagine and create all together."

"Located midway between Downtown Miami and Miami Beach, on Watson Island, This museum offers exciting things to do in Miami for the young and those young at heart. The Miami Children’s Museum presents 14 interactive and bilingual exhibits and daily family-friendly events for visitors to explore. You can pick up a souvenir from the Kid Smart Educational Gift Shop and enjoy a meal at Subway while you spend a fun day at the Miami Children’s Museum."

"Interactive and STEM-savvy exhibits accompany the classic kid-sized supermarket, animal clinic, and firefighter and police zones at the Miami Children’s Museum. The virtual aquarium animates kids’ drawings to become part of an undersea environment, while a musical staircase—where every step plays a different tune—leads to the gigantic cruise ship on the second floor, which kids can explore.
