Miami Restaurant Recomendations

Hi

I am currently planning my honeymoon for next July. We will be staying at the FS in Miami for two nights and I am looking for restaurant recommendations.

Trip Advisor rankings suggest the run of the mill restaurants you can find in most American cities.

Does anyone have any recommendations. Given that it is our honeymoon we are looking for someone special but not stuffy.

FS? Not sure I know that.

Do you want something specific to Miami or just really good? Price no object?
Cuban food is obviously a specialty as is seafood. Outdoor dining on Lincoln Road mall people watching is fun.
Some great views as well, but you may be sacrificing quality there.
Will come up with some ideas in the next couple of days.

Something really good. Price isn't an option. Not bothered about view. Its our honeymoon so something memorable!

You're describing to a 'T' Michelle Bernstein's restaurant Michy's; however, she and her husband closed it four months ago, with the intent to reopen with a new concept and menu.

For a special occasion I'd consider La Mar by Gaston Acurio, at the Mandarin Oriental

I would look at Azul at the Mandarin Oriental. Best in Miami in my opinion, very much high end but not stuffy (Miami generally not a stuffy place). Also easy walking distance from your hotel. Current menu is here http://photos.mandarinoriental.com/i...ul-dinner-menu

Yelp.com is a better resource than Trip Advisor for restaurants, maybe take a look through through there and compare to the various recommendations people have given you?
