50 Best American Restaurants near South Miami

“Great food, hospitality, and ambience at Kitchen 57 last night, which happened to be New Year’s Eve. My roast chicken was fantastic, tender and full of flavor, with a medley of roasted vegetables. Hard to do something so simple this well. Husband said his Cioppino (seafood stew) was the best restaurant meal he has had in a long while. Bowl was wiped clean with bread that came alongside. What a welcome addition to fine dining options in South Miami that won’t break the bank.“

“Nice old school pub that's been there under different names since the 70s. Connected to the deli next door, you can order from the deli and bring it to the pub“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at Las Brasas Grill in Kendall! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere. The food was nothing short of amazing – the meats were perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful, and the sides were just as delightful. The service was prompt and attentive and very giving, employees do deserve a raise, ensuring our dining experience was top-notch. I highly recommend the lomo saltado. First time I try one that’s just perfect and not salty. We left fully satisfied and eager to return. Five stars all the way!“

“Very nice chill date night restaurant on Sunday following our weekend in Miami. Vibes were chill laid back yet romantic and simple. Food was very good without all the fire and loud music, we’d experienced everywhere else we’d gone. Service was also very good, I think our waiters name was Frankie, very helpful in making our selections as well as attentive.“

“Had a great breakfast and best service by Ivan, super friendly, ahead of our needs and even gave us a free pastry, such a nice treat! Will be coming back soon!“

I have a general contracting business and it’s refreshing to see somebody work as hard as he does with a demeanor and character friendliness like he has so anyway he deserves a raise!! sincerely, Curtis “

“Was staying in the hotel upstairs and while the hotel was not great, I was pleasantly surprised by the Biscayne Tavern. On night one I stopped in for drinks and was served by Maylin, who was an absolute delight and gave top tier friendly service. I decided to go back for dinner the next night and was served by Tomas. Another amazing night of service, plus the good is very, very good! I had one of the best Cuban sandwiches of my life (I used to live in Miami, I've had many) and I highly recommend the nachos, which are Cuban/Miami style and have plantain chips in place of tortillas. Give Biscayne Tavern a shot, it's low key in the best way and please give Maylin and Tomas all your love, they deserve it!“

She was very attentive and had a great conversation with us. I felt like I was talking to an old friend. She made my night! Thank you Liz for your attention, your compassion and your wonderful personality. She is an asset to this restaurant and makes a mean Cosmo!!“

“I recently dined at Grand Central, and it was an unforgettable experience. The ambiance was warm, and the staff were attentive and professional. The food was outstanding, with each dish showcasing the chef’s creativity and skill. The lobster ravioli was especially delicious, with tender pasta and a rich, flavorful filling that balanced seafood freshness with a creamy sauce. Every bite was a delight, and I can’t wait to return for more. Highly recommended!“

“Service and vibe was great. Bri was so friendly, and knew exactly what to recommend and gave us great attention even though it was super busy. Food was okay, nothing out of this world. The sponge cake dessert was delicious. I’m sure there’s better restaurants out there in Miami but the vibe, music, and service were great especially if you’re looking for a place just for classy place for drinks.“

“No birthday desert for 80th birthday! Very surprising as other restaurant do something!“

“Omg hands down one of the best meals I've ever had!! husband went adventurous and chose the Braised Oxtail, I got lamb bolognese over gnocchi, insanely delicious. And our boys got the "Ragout" Sandwich. Look this place up. Sooo good !! We even ordered dessert to take back to the hotel for later (key lime pie and butterscotch heath bar bread pudding). I expect it to be just as awesome.“

“Boia De is very special. Bold flavor with a delicate execution. The staff are humbly proud of their accomplishments and the Michelin Star is well deserved. The smoked muscles were delicious you need them. Steak tar-tar you must have. The gnocchi will change your life and the lamb could alter they ways of man & possibly change the world. No liquor needed here. Creative mixology with sake & Pilsner will make you happy. Desert a must… buy 2. Or 3.. Love from Mary & Peter“

The Henry was able to accommodate a few of our additional guests. We also accommodated 2 vegan guests, 1 vegetarian guest, and 1 gluten free guest. Perfect selection of appetizers. Favorites included the pot stickers, the steak, harvest bowl, and dessert!“

The food is amazing and actually really affordable. I definitely recommend 2 dishes, the Sizzilin Pork and the Navigator Steak. Both are amazing and I could eat them all day!“

“We went to Vinya Coral Gables with a group of classmates and had a great time. The restaurant is perfect for sharing dishes and enjoying well-crafted cocktails. They’re also known for their impressive wine selection.

The standout dishes for me were the bacon-wrapped dates and the black ink risotto—both were packed with flavor and definitely worth trying. Overall, it’s a solid spot for good food and drinks in a relaxed setting.“
