Best Fine Dining in Park View Island

"The solo debut by Miami’s own Top Chef winner, Jeremy Ford, Stubborn Seed is a cozy-yet-hip South of Fifth spot turning out some of the city’s most elevated cuisine. While there is a complete a la carte menu with dishes like ricotta gnudi, warm celery root with crispy mushrooms, and smoked prime rib, the real highlight here is the tasting menu, where guests can try a bevy of classics and seasonal creations, plus get some of its melt-in-your mouth gooey snickerdoodle cookies to take home to remember the meal."

"The customers here are definitely seafood fans, with those who can tell a west coast oyster from a PEI on site nosing up to the counter, parsing their options with the nerdy enthusiasm of stamp collectors or bird spotters. But beyond the raw bar, the seafood selection is an exercise in aquatic seduction. The Clams Casino appetizer with bacon and white wine whetting appetites along with seared scallops with andouille and lobster deviled eggs are almost too much."

"More of a cultural center than a museum, the space is both a comforting reminder for Haitian expats of their country’s art, history, music, movies, and literature and a fascinating look into a Caribbean nation that too few have been able to visit.
