"Michael Schwartz’s cozy bistro in the Miami Design District stands out a go-to for American-style cuisine and hospitable service two decades into its run. Michael’s Genuine presents various options, from raw bar dishes to a chilled seafood platter, spiced lamb with charred eggplant, wood-roasted cauliflower, and the famous black truffle pizza. The weekday happy hour, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., offers a lively atmosphere and some of the best deals in town, and patrons can bask in the outdoor seating." - Juliana Accioly, Olee Fowler

"In the Design District, Michael’s Genuine serves its espresso martini with Casamigos Reposado tequila, Caffe Borghetti, and Panther Coffee Genuine Roast espresso, enhanced with house-made almond orgeat and a house-made bitters blend. The drink is dusted with ground espresso, cinnamon, and cocoa powder, while the bitters incorporate smoked chile bitters and xocolatl mole for a spicy kick." - Juliana Accioly

"Michael’s Genuine brings in at least 100 pounds of stone crabs weekly during the season. Chef Michael Schwartz serves them traditionally, with a house-made mustard sauce and a spicy green sambal. Available at lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, stone crabs are priced at market rate throughout the season." - Olee Fowler

"Michael’s Genuine was the first restaurant that made people want to eat in the Design District when it opened in 2006, and it’s still one of the neighborhood’s best spots. It’s a great place to sit outside for brunch on a nice day. They do a solid weekday Happy Hour from 4:30-7pm (only available at the bar). But we also like Michael’s for a proper sit-down lunch or dinner. It’s one of the few upscale options in the Design District that doesn’t feel designed for people with yacht brokers, and their mostly American menu includes some reliably good proteins. Seafood is usually the move here." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
