I rely on three principal sources for restaurant recommendations:

(1) The website eater.com publishes two restaurant maps for the Miami area, the Essential 38 and the Heatmap, both of which are updated regularly.

(2) Zagat.com, owned by Google, has decent coverage of Miami.

(3) Chowhound.com is worth perusing, although it takes some time to figure out which posters you can and cannot trust (kind of like this board!).
