38 Essential Restaurants in Miami, Fall 2024
"Emanating 1950s glamor, the Surf Club Restaurant by Thomas Keller offers nostalgic bistro fare alongside plenty of stiff martinis. Housed in one of Miami’s most storied buildings — now one of its chicest hotels — the dining room is adorned with art deco chandeliers, warm wood paneling, and plush leather banquettes, transporting guests back to the city’s golden era. Kick the night off with one (or two) of those martinis or a well-chosen wine from the restaurant’s impressive selection of vintages. The menu complements the old-school feel of the space, with upscale renditions of beef Wellington, Caesar salad prepared tableside, and a well-executed roast chicken for two. Don’t miss the decadent ice cream sundae, prepared tableside and topped with an array of indulgent toppings, including chocolate drizzle, marshmallow fluff, Chantilly cream, and so much more." - Olee Fowler
