The Toughest Reservations In Miami Right Now (And How To Get Them) - Miami - The Infatuation

"Verdict: Everyone loves Mandolin, and we’re including ourselves in that group. Not only is the Mediterranean food really good, but the Buena Vista restaurant has the most beautiful outdoor space in Miami. It's a sprawling patio hugged by impressive trees. This is a date night option that'll never fail you—unless you go too hard on garlic. Lunch is way easier to book than dinner. Whether or not Mandolin is slammed depends on the weather. If it's gorgeous out, you should have made that reservation three weeks ago. If it's not peak snowbird season, it's easier. They accept walk-ins, although walk-ins are usually seated inside. Luckily, all people with reservations are guaranteed an outdoor table." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
