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.“

“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.“

“Giovani was absolutely awesome his work ethic is unmatched. I have not seen somebody hustle like him in a long time. 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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Gladys is my family luv her smile everytime I come open arms“

“I’m not really sure where to begin. Our dinner for 25 guests was phenomenal. Our event manager was wonderful. Rick and Gustav provided the absolute best service and everyone raved about their meals. 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!“

“If you're a One Piece fan, 100% come and enjoy this food. I really thought it was going to be overpriced, mediocre food with One Piece all over the place, but I was wrong. 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!“

“Tiffany great service“

“Great place for couples!. A great choice for a first date. The food was served buffet style, and the service was excellent. They have a dance floor and a bar area with many intimate dining tables for couples. And if you are feeling romantic, Just 2 blocks away you will find the Executive Airport Hotel with sexy and romantic suites!“

“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.“

“Had a wonderful night tonight! Loved the fact that Heather, the General Manager came over to speak to us. We watched her walk all around with a smile and stop and talk to every table. You know she is happy with her job by her great smile! We will be back“

“A week ago, I left a one-star review after a disappointing experience at Earls. We were surprised with a significantly higher bill due to a price adjustment that wasn’t clearly communicated when an upgrade was suggested. It felt like a break in the trust we had built over years of being regular guests.

I’m updating this review because someone from Earls’ leadership team Josie reached out to us with genuine care,professionalism, and accountability. They acknowledged the situation, took it seriously, and offered a thoughtful gesture to make things right.
But more than that, they opened a real conversation about how to improve communication moving forward and that means a lot.

I also want to highlight that our server that day was truly excellent warm, respectful, and attentive throughout. The miscommunication wasn’t about attitude or effort, and I sincerely hope it’s seen as a learning opportunity, not a personal fault. It’s clear they have a bright future in hospitality.

Mistakes happen what defines a place is how they respond. In this case, Earls responded with integrity, and that deserves recognition. We’re looking forward to visiting again and experiencing the care that made us loyal guests in the first place.“

“Jason… our server gave exceptional service. Food was delicious 😋 highly recommend this place“

“Great place and Oxy was awesome“

“We arrived as walking and were told by host that they were full and all empty tables were reserved. Got in my phone and made a reservation on the spot. The host still made us wait 20 mins to clean the only dirty table because the clean tables were just not to her liking. Waitress was forgetful and took the order of the tables that got there after us, first. To sum it up, we will not be returning.“

“Our server, Ana, was fabulous! Hands down best server ever! She asked right away if we had any food allergy restrictions and was careful to be sure our celiac friend was well cared for. She was so attentive and so sweet to our party of 5. Sergio was awesome too, making sure we were all doing good. Food and drinks were great!“

“We stopped in last Monday to kill time before we had to be on our cruise. I had the southwest salad amazingly delicious. My husband had the cheeseburger paradise, he said it was a great burger. Our bartenders Lisa and Dezearae were amazing. Always checking on us. They are very polite. Those two work well together. Definitely recommend and if you can get these two bartenders I can guarantee your experience will be amazing.“
