"Cost: $98-$328 per person. Zuma loses points for its unhinged atmosphere. The dining room is a disparate beehive of tourists, families, and folks dressed for the club. The DJ plays unrelenting house music a bit too loudly, and you may have to wait 20 minutes for your table. But the saving grace of Zuma brunch can be summed up in one word: sushi. Skip the mediocre hot dishes and don’t bother upgrading for more expensive a la carte options. Just park yourself in front of the oddly uncrowded sashimi station like a trained sea lion. The fish here is as good as it needs to be, and you can pile your plate with sashimi and ikura while everyone else fills up on bao buns. You can also try to sidestep Zuma’s strange indoor scene by requesting outdoor seating. There, you can sit along the Miami River and enjoy a steady stream of twerking tourists on sketchy rental yachts." - ryan pfeffer
