"An OG on South Beach, Pubbelly Sushi is best known for its rolls like its Instagram famous butter krab roll made with goma soy paper, kanikama, ponzu, with warm clarified butter for dipping. Start out with the tuna pizza, and ease into the rolls and robata offerings. But be careful, while portions are a decent and meant for sharing, it’s easy to get overly excited and want them all."

This is a unique restaurant that serves light bites, main dishes and also beers from breweries in Asia, Europe and the Americas."

"Housed in a picturesque shopping center just outside South Miami's ever-popular Shops at Sunset Place, this fun cocktail bar boasts contemporary decor and crowd-pleasing cuisine. Attractive 30-somethings mingle over tantalizing cocktails such as the pomegranate martini or French vanilla swirl and nibble on scrumptious eats from volcanic garlic bread to Barcelona-style mussels to hearth oven pizzas. A full menu of satisfying mains, like the Filet Mignon with Shrimp and Lobster Quesadilla, satiates the hungriest patrons, and comforting sides like Truffled Mac'N'Cheese and Pancetta or Black-eyed Pea Orzo are designed to share."
"This West Miami dive bar takes you away from the trendiness and lavish bar tabs you might accumulate downtown or by the beach. Wood paneling throughout swallows the nautical-themed decor, but the true charm of the space lies in the fact that it’s the kind of place where everyone knows everyone, even newcomers. Also, patrons are enthusiastically supportive to the daring few who partake in the Thursday and Saturday karaoke nights."
"Mom’s Kitchen is a small, family-style eatery with everything you’d expect from a neighborhood diner – delicious food, friendly locals, and friendlier service. The most popular dishes include the Crunchy French Toast, blueberry pancakes, biscuits and gravy, Super Farmer’s Special, and Mom’s Country Breakfast. Getting there: Mom’s Kitchen is located in the Coral Ridge neighborhood and can be reached by taking I-95 to FL-870 East or US-1."
"Danny Serfer’s Blue Collar takes its cues from the classic American diner. The tiny restaurant in the MiMo District offers daily specials and elevated comfort foods. Start with a gutsy New Orleans-style dish of shrimp and grits with bacon and Worcestershire-based barbecue sauce, or Chanukah latkes (served year-round)."
"Heath Bar bread pudding and a rotating selection of cakes are what’s curbing sweet tooth craving at MiMo’s Blue Collar. Call ahead to ask what’s available. Rumor has it, the dessert menu is a bit bigger if the order is placed for takeout versus delivery."
"Serving up generous portions of gourmet American comfort food, this neighbourhood joint has a canteen-like feel, but the devastatingly delicious menu options and excellent craft beer selection more than make up for it."
