Best Fine Dining in Shelborne Resort

"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."

"There were some pretty small portions, but some really great tastes. We didn't love everything we tried, but it was definite..."

"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."

"Chef Danny Serfer’s Italian pop-up celebrates the comforts of Italian cooking with to-go items like Mussels Red (pan-roasted in a spicy red sauce), saffron arancini with fig jam, spaghetti meatballs, veal marsala, and eggplant Parmigiana. End the feast with lemon ricotta cheesecake. Available for takeout or delivery."

"The humble interior of Mignonette belies the quality of the food served, says Miami New Times. This seafood restaurant is influenced by French cuisine. At the heart of the dishes, diners can enjoy the delicious flavors of fresh seafood, such as shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, oysters, and a vast array of fish."

"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."

"Stop for a sunset cocktail at Smith & Wollensky’s outdoor patio bar (adjacent to the park) and watch the cruise ships as they head out to sea. Option #2 – Miami Beach Botanical Garden"

"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."

"The place is decorated with contemporary paintings and celebrity murals such as Frida Kahlo and Audrey Hepburn. Come for the inspiration and take as many pictures as you want."

"Spiga is located on Collins avenue in Miami Beach with a unique romantic atmosphere of an old Italian villa. All pastas are made in house and menu items are all made using the freshest ingredients for the last 25 years!. The dinner menu focuses around old Italian dishes like Calamari, Mozzerella alla Caprese, Zuppa di Cozzee and Vongole with mussels and clams in a white sauce."

"With white tablecloths, candlelight, and an inviting outdoor space, Spiga Ristorante Italiano has a romantic, special-occasion-worthy vibe. The dinner menu perfectly fits this old-..."

"Miami’s hottest spot for amazing seafood and beautiful waterfront dining is located on the banks of the Miami River. Just minutes from Downtown Miami and the Brickell Financial District, Seaspice Brasserie and Lounge, has brought a vision unlike any other to the Miami River, transforming a post-industrial warehouse outfitted in unexpected, sophisticated nautical touches into a world renowned fine dining destination. Coral Gables Love reader, Suzy, recommends you try the risotto."

"Seaspice Brasserie and Lounge is now a Miami classic, fine-dining destination conveniently located on the banks of the Miami River, minutes from Downtown Miami and the Brickell Financial District. This “buzzy” waterfront oasis offers a wide choice of seafood, signature wood-fired casseroles, and globally inspired dishes. Its open-air Courtyard Lounge and bar serves signature crafted cocktails."

"Few places in South Florida exude romance like Seaspice along the Miami River. The globally inspired concept features one of the best waterfront views in the city, along with one of the tastiest menus. Visit day or night, and the result is the same: You’ll leave impressed."

"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."

"Located just off South Dixie Highway in Homestead, the Coral Castle Museum is a unique outdoor attraction that was built by a local man entirely from local limestone. It’s still a mystery how he moved and manipulated the massive limestone blocks used in the castle’s construction; some have suggested he may have had extraterrestrial help. Though the verdict is still out on that claim, there’s no doubt that it’s a popular attraction with children and adults alike, and it’s one of those one-of-a-kind Florida attractions that you won’t see elsewhere."

"No one’s figured out how one diminutive mason managed to move the huge stones for this sculpture garden dedicated to his lost love."

"A Michelin-starred concept from New York City, Sushi Azabu offers sushi in several different areas, but sushi lovers should check out "The Den," a hidden sushi counter behind the kitchen. The 11-seat bar, which requires reservations, offers omakase-style dining with seafood flown in from Japan. If you prefer to dine at home, Azabu has launched Bubusan, a delivery-only offshoot that delivers omakase boxes of sushi (including a vegan offering) in exquisite packaging."

"Where else can you dine on Michelin-starred Japanese cuisine right by the ocean?. Azabu Miami Beach serves killer fish (think salmon tataki, miso black cod and spicy tuna crispy rice) with a view of the water. Just make sure to reserve a table on the restaurant’s outdoor patio in advance."

"It may just be at Azabu Miami Beach, an upscale and trendy Japanese restaurant that serves some of the freshest fish in town."

"Grab your girlfriends on a Wednesday night and head out to Baoli’s “My Boyfriend is Out of Town,” where you can drink and dance until the sun comes up. Of course, if drinking isn’t your thing, you can sit and dine on their Mediterranean style dishes that are always a crowd pleaser."

"Modeled after the renowned Bâoli in Cannes, France, Bâoli Miami brings a European touch to the Miami Beach nightclub and restaurant scene. Enjoy unique Mediterranean and Asian flavors and when night falls, the inviting restaurant revamps into a playground for the nocturnal."

"We are monitoring all local, state and federal regulations to provide customers with contactless ordering options. While some restaurants may have dining rooms open, others are serving customers through the Drive Thru, with Mobile Order & Pay on the McDonald's App, and with McDelivery®..."

"Experience a captivating and unique escape with the perfect balance of luxury, fun, craft, and theatre. Find your perfect retreat with our uniquely crafted packages and special rates at Nobu Hotel Miami Beach."

"If you don’t mind breakfast at a chain restaurant, we don’t mind including one of the most consistently good options for breakfast in Naples, even if it is a bit pricey. From "million dollar bacon" (again, pricey but oh so yummy) to the vanilla chai, First Watch serves some excellent breakfast choices which include traditional favorites and a wide array of healthy options as well. This award winning Florida based chain of restaurants use only in-season produce for all their preparations."
