1.      Lure Fishbar at Loew’s Miami Beach Hotel – 10/10. New York based. Sushi, seafood and meat. Great scene. Great food.

2.      Lorenzo’s  at Redbury Hotel on Collins and 18th – 8/10. Nice ambiance. Not very full. Great meatballs and steak.

4.      (Petit) Miami Beach on Purdy. 8/10. Very quaint and nice outdoors. Food was great. Portions medium size.

5.      Michael Mina 74 at Fountainbleau – 7/10. Nothing special. Where Blade used to be.

6.      Milo’s near Joes – 9/10 only because they serve you too fast. Food 10/10.
