All Things Florida
See All Lists
1. Magnum Lounge
***New York cabaret-ish style piano bar with a great friendly atmosphere.***
The food is decent and the entertainment is great. Staff is friendly. They have a small outside lounge and bar ("The Shack Bar", they call it). And inside it's dark and…More »
2. Brule Bistro
***Superb and delicious! Gourmet cuisine (better than many so-called upscale restaurants') only in a more relaxed, cozy atmosphere.***
My favorite bistro in FL! If you don't love the food here, your taste buds and your brain cells must be dead! :-D
I…More »
3. Moshi 2
***Crunchy Crab Ceviche!!!! Rolls to die for: Hiro, Celebration, Volcano, Dragon (in order of preference).***
Definitely in my top 3 favorite sushi places in FL!
Menu-wise, it's the same as the South Beach Moshi Moshi; but the service and crowd that…More »
4. Cafe Vico Inc
***GREAT pasta, lovely, authentic Italian romantic atmosphere and the BEST flourless chocolate cake I've EVER had!***
It's been awhile since I went, since I moved out of state. But the pasta I had, I can't remember the name, but it was delicious! The…More »
5. Katana Japanese Restaurant
***Best cheap sushi in Miami Dade County!***
The place is cute because it has the typical Japanese little river bar with the tiny boats that carry the plates with sushi. You pick whatever plates you want and they charge you at the end (prices vary,…More »
6. Cafe Seville
Authentic Spanish cuisine! Amazing seafood & chorizo paella!!! Very good escargot in sauce. The place is very warm and cozy, all in wood inside, very Spanish "cava" style. The staff is very friendly. The food is amazing and even more amazingly, not…More »
7. Mellow Mushroom
I love their bruschetta in balsamic syrup and their Gourmet White pizza! My bf loves the Mighty Meaty pizza. They have a good selection of beer (even rare Belgian Lambics like the Lindemans) and the neighborhood is very nice.
8. Caffe Luna Rosa
***Either for breakfast, lunch or dinner: FANTASTIC! And in a romantic spot, with ocean view***
Have the Eggs Benedict and fresh squeezed orange juice mimosa for breakfast! And for lunch or dinner, their pastas are divine with their Argiano super…More »
9. Steve's Pizza
***Sauce is a little sweet, slices are huge and dirt cheap, staff is friendly, and they open 'til very late!***
I used to work nearby, and would get out of work at 2:30-3am on a Friday night, and this would be the place I'd go to. Staff is super nice,…More »
10. PRL Euro Cafe
***HUGE international selection of GREAT beers in a very relaxed casual atmosphere.***
My buddies and I love this place! Try the Lindeman's Kriek Cherry beer (I know it sounds weird -- just try it, but as your starter beer, because once you have…More »
11. Go-Go Fresh Food Café
***Best salads and empanadas/go-go pies in SoBe! Convenient location (next to a laudromat)!***
I used to do my laundry at this 24 hour laundromat right next to this little restaurant, so I'd go all the time. EXCELLENT SALADS! Very healthy AND tasty!…More »
12. Upstairs At the Van Dyke Cafe
It's a very happening place in the non-clubby SoBe scene. It's a night club I guess, but not the disco type of club. Rather a live music venue. I like the decor and the food is acceptable.
13. Chalan On the Beach
Miami Beach, FL 33139
(305) 532-8880
Categories:
Latin American,
Peruvian,
Seafood
Definitely more of a locals spot than touristy, but even if you're a tourist, you will find the food very tasty, and it's authentic Peruvian cuisine.
All female servers, very polite (not a t*tty bar, so please behave gentlemen...!).
¡Me encanta! I…More »
14. Playa Cafe
I'm surprised that this place has very few reviews, and it's so hard to find on Google. It's very authentic, but also small place in the middle of busy Washington Ave. But the food is so good everyone should know about it!
I even took my parents here…More »

16. Food Amongst the Flowers - CLOSED
The place IS CLOSED. It was recently (late 2009) bought and opened as "The Manor." I haven't been here as "The Manor," but I'd like to next time I'm in town.
It used to be amazing, though. Al Magdaleno, the bar manager at the time, was AMAZING!!!…More »
17. Colee Hammock Park
My little piece of Fort Laudy heaven... One of my favorite places in the world. :-) A small, quiet, usually not very crowded park where squirrels run around as you hear bells in the distance playing a familiar melody announcing the time. It's…More »
18. Hilton Grand Vacations Suites at South Beach
Lovely art deco small property, excellently located for who wants to be at the very heart of where the action is in SoBe! Steps away from the beach (but don't go to the beach at night if you don't wanna get mugged).
Orlando Hernández is the best!!!…More »
19. Sage French Cafe & Oyster Bar
The managing partner and staff were very friendly. The aurugula and goat cheese flatbread was very good, the roast duck in honey/raspberry sauce was delicious, and the chocolate volcano for dessert was great!
And I like this Hollywood location way…More »
20. La Molienda
Their meat sampler plate called Molienda is amazing, and their passion fruit juice is delicious! The "pupusas" are very good. Not crazy about the desserts, but really, you barely have tummy space to fit the food you'll have.
Opens til very late…More »
21. Ninos of Delray
***Very good, al dente pasta and nice atmosphere***
Their pasta was al dente, the sauce, very good, and in general the taste was just right. I don't think it's very well known because of the location, perhaps, but I think the food is good.
The…More »
22. Lemongrass Asian Bistro
***Best Masaman Curry, but service could improve (it's a little slow)***
If you're not in a hurry to catch a movie or something, then you're good. But also, the place can get very crowded, so the servers tend to be, say, practical, and not exactly…More »
23. Smith & Jones - CLOSED
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301
(954) 888-8993
Categories:
Barbeque,
American (Traditional)
***I LOVE their Banana Cream Pie and the live music!***
My experience has aIways been just Dinner.
But from what I know about dinner: I love the Basil Pesto Flatbread (huge portion and delicious). Also the Iron Skillet Fresh Florida Dolphin (with…More »
24. Pine Garden Restaurant
***Biggest vegetarian menu I've ever seen! Crispy orange meatless beef!***
I was in the vegetarian mood, and my bf never is. This worked perfect, because they have 2 menus, one regular, and the other all vegetarian, and they're both huge!
I had their…More »
25. Moshi Moshi
I love the sushi here -- specially their Volcano Roll and the Dragon Roll. And the make a Crunchy Crab Ceviche that's to die for!
But what I love best about the place, that I guess makes them special, is the hours. You can actually have sushi at 2 or…More »
26. Nakorn Thai Restaurant
***I was looking to eat at Sushi Blues, but luckily found this restaurant instead!***
Great sushi! I'd been hearing about Sushi Blues so much, me and my bf drove to Hollywood to try it, but it was closed. So we walked by this one, and decided we'd…More »
27. Cybr-Caffe
Miami Beach, FL 33139
(305) 534-0057
As I always say about Miami Beach: watch where you park. They have meters right in front, and if those are busy, look for the side streets, but make sure you don't park in a residential area without a visitor's permit (if you know someone in SoBe,…More »
28. By Word of Mouth
***Family owned, great food, decadent desserts!***
The food IS good! They also do catering, and the service is very good, too -- they're very warm and attentive. And they have a huge selection of very interesting cakes that you should leave tummy room…More »
29. Big City Tavern
Great selection of good martinis!
I got LOADED and had the best time on my birthday 2 years ago! And since then, I've returned many times -- only more graciously ;-) Seriously, very well located, great place for before or after dinner drinks also.…More »
30. Sea Watch Restaurant & Lounge
***Great dover sole!***
It's top of the list of my favorites! The fish is very fresh, and dover sole is quite hard to find to begin with because not a lot of restaurants know how to properly make it. It melted in my mouth like butter! The server was…More »
31. Posh Lounge
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301
(954) 763-3553
Categories:
Hookah Bars,
Sushi Bars,
Lounges
This is a somewhat clubby, yet you-get-to-chat-and-mingle type of bar. The owners are great people. It's definitely primarily a bar, although they do serve tapas and barista-style coffee. They always have a DJ playing, so people dance, too. They have…More »
32. Van Dyke Cafe
It's a very happening place in the non-clubby SoBe scene. It's a night club I guess, but not the disco type of club. Rather a live music venue. I like the decor and the food is acceptable. The also have Wi-Fi, so it's also a good spot for business…More »
33. Thai Jo
***The Havana Roll was the best!***
I loved it! I can't review their Thai food, because we only had Japanese dishes. We had the spring rolls as a shared appetizer and several sushi rolls for entrée. The Havana Roll is the best! The Lobster Bomb Roll…More »
34. Padrino's Cuban Cuisine
***Very good, authentic, tasty Cuban food, nice atmosphere (family friendly)***
The food is very good, very authentic. The prices are right. The place has its own parking. I like it very much!
35. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store
I just remembered I never reviewed this place! And I remembered because I JUST craved their jam n' apple whipped butter on a warm buttermilk biscuit! Whyyyy can't you be in California, you son of a Cracker Barrel!?!?!?! Whyyyy!??!?!?!?!
Breakfast is…More »
36. Texas De Brazil Churrascaria
But my experience was great! Advice though: as you may know, these places are better enjoyed on an empty stomach. The filet mignon was delicious!
37. Doraku Sushi
***The Doraku Roll is amazing!***
The place is nice, great location, steps from the Lincoln Rd. movie theatre. Parking can be crazy (then again, all SoBe is like that). There's other cheaper sushi that's also very good; but this dining experience is a…More »
38. Ferdos Grill
***Great Middle Eastern Cuisine and Bellydancers!***
Great to go with a huge table of friends during bellydance hours (call to make sure). Marina, one of their belly dancers, is wonderful and gorgeous! Everyone will have a blast! The fish and seafood…More »
39. Pasha's
***I know it's a franchise, but it's actually good.***
Vegetables are fresh and it's tasty. The bulgur pilaf rice is very good, and the falafel, too. Their "pide", which is like a small pizza, is delicious! And the vegetarian kebab is very yummy and…More »
40. Jumbo Buffet
Ok, so it's not upscale or super creative, but you do get to eat a lot, and it's not bad! It's your usual Chinese with a few sweet chicken varieties, deep fried breaded shrimp, and they also have a little Italian food section, in case you're into…More »
