2021 Best American Restaurants Miami/South Florida
"Restaurants Seafood Downtown. For years, the Epic Hotel’s rooftop bar and restaurant was a magnet for business types grabbing a drink after work in the area. But even without its beat-the-clock happy hour, Area 31 is still luring the locals with its unparalleled views of Downtown and well-priced bites and sips."
"Restaurants Seafood Downtown. Area 31’s 16th-floor lounge may not technically be on the roof, but its view of Downtown is hard to beat. A photo op here is one you'll be tempted to caption with “I live where you vacation,” but don't be that guy."
"Come at night, enjoy the happy hour and city lights.All your friends will be wondering where did you take that picture."
"More of a Balinese garden than a bar, Sugar takes rooftop aesthetics to a whole new level. With 40th-floor views (from the EAST, Miami hotel), soothing decor, and dangerously strong lychee martinis, and tasty tapas, making an evening at Sugar is an exotic departure from the Miami norm.

"Do these tangy, spicy wings taste nearly as good without a complete panoramic view of Miami from the 40th floor?. Find out as Sugar offers this plus the rest of its menu for delivery. Cool off from all the spice with the Audi and Ramsa ice creams, which are made with various types of alcohol."

"Freehand combines the luxury of hotels and the community mindset of a hostel in its four locations, all of which have a Broken Shaker. This particular one, true to its locale, rides the line between a posh Miami Beach environment and a Surfside aesthetic. With canopied patios and poolside drinks until 5pm, Broken Shaker manages to capture Miami in its atmosphere as well as in its rotating monthly and seasonal cocktails."
"Another solid evening option is one of Miami Beach’s most famous bars, The Broken Shaker. Somehow, this spot has shoot into mixology fame while maintaining a friendly, local atmosphere and top-notch drinks. Or, if a wine and pasta meal sounds absolutely perfect, make your way to Macchialina, known for authentic Italian cuisine and a cozy vibe."
