And if you’re seeking out some beloved Miami spots that are now bookable on Resy, we’ve got you covered here.
Las' Lap Miami Miami Beach
Chef Kwame Onwuachi has made his way down the coast to Miami Beach with Las’ Lap, in partnership with the team behind the New York original. And it’s a pretty perfect marriage: Onwuachi brings influences from his grandfather’s Trinidadian heritage to the West Indies-inspired rum bar, with truffle oxtail Cubans, jerk-rum-glazed lamb, and rasta pasta with Manila clams. It’s necessary sustenance to complement the extensive rum collection and adjacency to the shore.

Daniel's Miami Coral Gables
The group behind Fort Lauderdale favorite Daniel’s, A Florida Steakhouse has made their way down the coast, bringing their signature steakhouse-and-then-some approach to Coral Gables. The menu is balanced with both surf and turf, highlighting premium cuts of beef and locally-sourced seafood. And if that wasn’t enough, go for the wagyu tasting experience for a progressive meal of beef-inspired bites.
AMAVI Miami Wynwood
This Mediterranean daydream features brass accents and tall arches, a glowing bar for gin-soju-lychee combos, and an outdoor area shrouded in greenery. The Aegean‑inspired menu bursts with pomegranate‑glazed lamb, whole branzino carved tableside, burrata, and plenty of housemade pasta.
Presidente Bar Wynwood
It’s one of Argentina’s best bars, now bringing Buenos Aires flair to Wynwood with sultry lighting, art deco curves, and a cocktail menu that leans into Latin American swagger. Sip a guajillo-spiced Daiquiriña in the main lounge or slip behind the bookshelf into La Biblioteca, where the drinks get bolder and the secrets slightly less secret.
Hikari Surfside
This stylish, dramatic space sets the stage for pristine nigiri, delicate sashimi, and standout dishes like tempura mushroom “wagyu,” and hamachi crudo with Mandarin ponzu. Unique and creative cocktails complete the experience.
To Be Determined Coral Gables
It’s sleek, dark, and intimate, and the concise seasonal menu changes every few weeks to keep things interesting. TBD positions itself as a wine bar first, so there are plenty of interesting things to drink, but the dishes definitely don’t play second fiddle. Grab a date, check all expectations at the door, and give in to what’s at play here.

Uchiko Miami Beach Miami Beach
The warm golden hour hues, jewel-toned marble accents, and plentiful palms create a coastal vibe at Uchi’s sibling restaurant. Here, it’s more about the hearth, grill, and resulting char: There’s roasted lobster, grilled scallop with strawberry XO sauce, wagyu hot rocks, and smoky oysters. For longtime fans, don’t worry — there’s also the pristine sushi and creative small plates that put Uchi on the map.
UMA Cantina Peruana Miami North Miami Beach
It’s hard to say which is more electric at this Peruvian stunner, the vibrant, high-energy dining room and patio, or the stunning dishes coming out of the kitchen. A boatload of ceviche options (though the classic with corvino, choclo, and leche de tigre is a favorite), shrimp and calamari in anticuchera sauce, and the pisco sours are all highlights.
Maple & Ash Miami Downtown
Maple & Ash is opulent in every way, from the glittery crystal palm chandelier to the candlelit tables and cozy nooks. We’d expect nothing less from one of Chicago’s favorite steakhouses, where the wood-fired steaks, caviar service, and seafood specials (like lobster spaghetti and a fire-roasted seafood tower) anchor the menu.
Double Luck Pop Up Upper Eastside
From the team behind Tâm Tâm comes a Chinese-American pop-up with a few twists. The menu might feel familiar, but when you tuck into dandan noodles with beef cheek, crab leg rangoons, and Hennessy orange chicken flambéed tableside, you know you’re in for something special.
Shiso Wynwood
There’s lots to love at this Wynnwood spot, where the cross-cultural menu features things like oxtail gunkan-maki, miso cornbread with ikura and uni, and barbecue toro with brown butter ponzu. And don’t skip the signature chicken, which is half fried, half smoked, and served with green onion waffles. As for the space? Expect walls covered in graffiti, a fun contrast to the sleek dining room.
Uchi Miami Wynwood
Chef Tyson Cole’s contemporary Japanese restaurant is sure to be a Wynwood staple. You’ll find a good mix of creative hot and cold dishes — big eye tuna crudo with aji amarillo and pumpkin seed granola is a hit in the making — plus impeccable sushi and sashimi, electric vibes, and a stunning space.
Carnicero Kendall Kendall
There’s a good chance you’ll see at least one celebration at this gem of a steakhouse. The bustling space lends itself very well to group dinners, after all: It’s big, boisterous, and filled with excellent dishes to share, like ham croquetas, charred steaks, and ibérico pork. Pro tip: You’re going to want to order at least one round of guava-rum cocktails.
Ikigai Sushi Bar Brickell
With its minimalist design, Ikigai’s gorgeous room sets the stage for an outstanding sushi experience on Brickell Key. The word “ikigai” means “reason to live,” which you’ll feel when eating the glistening nigiri here, like freshly carved tuna atop perfectly seasoned rice, plus hot dishes like ribeye-wrapped asparagus and smoked kanpachi.
Double Knot Miami Wynwood
Because this is Philadelphia chef Michael Schulson’s Miami debut, bringing lively izakaya-inspired vibes to Wynwood. Robotayaki is at the heart of the menu, with a slew of grilled items like miso eggplant and Kobe beef, along with chilled signatures like octopus carpaccio and hamachi ceviche. Can’t decide? Go for the chef’s select menu for an array of the best bites, plus dessert.
