"About a mile south of Cape Florida, this cluster of pastel-colored wood-framed houses is Miami’s best-kept secret. No matter the season or time of day, this spot is always ready for its closeup. 1787 Purdy Avenue, Miami Beach; stiltsvillefishbar.com"

"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."

"Area 31 is on the 16th floor of the Epic Hotel, which means it boasts spectacular views across Biscayne Bay, Miami River, and the city skyline. The restaurant takes its name from Fishing Area 31, which is from where most of the ingredients are sourced. This area is an ecologically sustainable fishery."

"Romantic stalwart stays on top with new food and creative cocktails If you thought the Rusty Pelican, with its giant glass windows looking across Biscayne Bay to the skyline, was so romantic it had become cliché, thick again. Not content to be the grand dame of Miami’s romantic restaurants, the venerable Rusty Pelican has completely revamped its menu, adding stuff like fresh sushi, lobster risotto, and an impressive lineup of steaks. The cocktails here are also among the most surprisingly creative in the city, with six herb-infused gin and tonics complimenting an array of craft creations, like the Cider on the Biscayne with Elijah Craig bourbon, Drambuie, apple cider, lemon juice, and sugar cane."

"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."

"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."

"The South of Fifth Mediterranean gem is easily one of the most beloved spots in the city for any occasion, particularly because they offer some of the finest and freshest seafood in the entire city. The global seafood dynasty has received high acclaim from hot spots all over the world, ranging from New York to London, Las Vegas and Miami. They’re particularly noteworthy due to the restaurant’s incorporation of the fresh fish market, where diners can choose from over 20 species of raw fish and choose how they’d like it prepared at the table."

"What started as a takeout window in South Beach became a chain taking over Florida with fresh, healthy ceviche, salads, burritos, and tacos. Most restaurants now have sit-down space, but the atmosphere is the same everywhere: Fresh seafood or free-range chicken is combined with fresh seasonal vegetables, given an international flavor and offered at reasonable prices. The signature ceviche is simple: fresh locally caught seafood tossed with fresh tomatoes, cilantro, red onions, and jalapenos, all drenched in their fresh, citrus-based sauce that comes in several versions."

The bucatini pasta with butter-poached lobster is a sumptuous option and they've got an award-winning burger for those not in the mood for fish."

"No trip to Miami Beach is complete without sushi, and Lure Fishbar is a great choice. The restaurant itself is lovely and luxurious, and the staff is famous for their kid-friendly attitude. You’re certain to find a high chair or a booster seat, and DVD players are even available to keep kids entertained."

"This aptly named omakase-style restaurant is literally “hidden” behind a taco shop in Wynwood. Once guests enter with a numeric code (provided when the reservation is made) they encounter an intimate, eight-seat restaurant serving up a 18 dish menu featuring small Japanese appetizers, sashimi, and nigiri, all made with seasonal ingredients brought in from Japan, paired with sake, Sochu beer and wine to wash it down with.
