Best Fine Dining in West Park

"If you’re looking for a nice dinner spot in South of Fifth - maybe to celebrate a special occasion or just the fact that you made it across the MacArthur in less than five minutes - Stubborn Seed is the best place to go. It’s a small spot that feels like an old-school cocktail lounge that ran into a steel mill, with lots of dark wood and metal pipes lining the leather booths. The reason you come here, though, is for the excellent food, which changes up regularly, but always includes lots of fresh seafood."

"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."

"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."

"This classic steakhouse perched in the South of Fifth neighborhood is just as popular for its views as it is for its meat selection. Grab a drink on the overlook deck and soak up the waterfront views while dining on your meal."

"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"

"Dining right on the beach is what you can expect at OCEAN2000 located at the Pelican Grand Beach Resort. This is perfect for a romantic dinner date or special occasion, with its dreamy ocean views from the veranda or tables even closer to the water by the sand. With plenty of space, social distancing while dining is certainly not a problem here."

"Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at the Pelican Grand Hotel, Ocean2000 serves local fresh fish and vegetables cooked with a little Latin flair. Like any hotel restaurant, there are breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner menus. For the morning and early-afternoon crowd, try the cinnamon-challah french toast."

"Following the wild success of the New York City restaurant, which was just honored last week with its fourth consecutive Michelin Guide recognition, buzzy Korean steakhouse Cote has brought its award-winning cuisine and luxurious atmosphere to Miami. The restaurant’s spacious interiors were designed by celebrated architecture studio MNDPC and features a private dining room, a signature oval-shaped bar and bespoke, state-of-the-art charcoal grills at each of the many tables. Owner Simon Kim wanted the new iteration to reflect the bold spirit of the New York flagship while infusing a distinct Miami flair throughout the space."

"It was very hard to decide what I liked most about Cote, a Korean steakhouse in the Design District. There was the fact that the entire staff seemed to be sharing a single consciousness like a beehive, as they effortlessly tended to the beef sizzling away on the grill located in the center of the table. There was the restaurant’s design, which made me feel like I was eating 1,000 years in the future."

"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."

"Ladurée, an asthetically-pleasing cafe that serves the most delicate desserts, is located in the design district and Lincoln Road. The French Macarons are what they are known for, because of the fact that they explode with flavor with every bite. My personal favorite is pistachio, but this quaint restaurant has many more flavors like coffee, orange blossom, lemon, and rose petal."

"South BeachWhat you're getting: MacaroonsOnce you get past the chain-smoking and general disregard for manners, the French are pretty likable, especially when, like this bakery on Lincoln Rd, they're turning out these cookies that were created in Paris in 1862."

"Cielito Artisan Pops, a bakery and ice cream and frozen yogurt spot that offers desserts and more, is another much-loved go-to, with five stars out of 135 Yelp reviews. Head over to 2750 N.W. Third Ave., Suite 20A to see for yourself."

"In keeping with the laid-back style of partying that Fort Lauderdale is known for, we take you to downtown Fort Lauderdale’s Rhythm & Vine, where #justchill is the prevailing vibe. A relatively recent addition to the downtown bar scene, Rhythm and Vine is quickly becoming one of the most popular hangout spots in all of South Florida. It has done a wonderful job of creating a backyard atmosphere with a beautiful layout, as well as incorporating designs and decorations that make you feel like you’ve been taken to a remote tropical gathering."

"At Rhythm and Vine, you will definitely have a memorable time with this fresh backyard party experience with the local #justchill vibe. It also provides positive and fun energy in Casual Gardens, which is a great place to chill with friends. You will find yourself in a sunshine state of mind with all of the handcrafted cocktails, and craft beer."
