"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."

"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."

"This quaint spot between Downtown Miami and Wynwood is an oyster lovers’ paradise, with an ever-changing rotation of fresh oysters from the east and west coasts. In addition to oysters served in all fashions (from raw to Rockefeller-style), indulge in Mignonette’s lobster deviled eggs, buttery lobster rolls and the jumbo diver sea scallops. Be sure to save room for dessert, as the butterscotch and Heath bar bread pudding is worth every calorie."

"Spanish missionaries and treasure seekers first explored the Florida coast as far back as the 17th century, and the Spanish Monastery in North Miami Beach is a fascinating bit of local and international history that dates back centuries before that when it was originally constructed in Spain. Inhabited by monks for nearly seven centuries, in the early 1920s, it was bought by American newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst, disassembled, shipped to Florida, and reassembled on its current site. It has been open to the public since the mid-’60s, and for those who don’t mind spending a few extra bucks, the best way to experience it is by guided tour."
