Another darling newcomer from Major Food Group, this Italian two-story restaurant hailing from Boston offers Northern Italian fare under a sweeping lens of old-school glamour and hospitality. Decadence abounds, from the dramatic, curved grand staircase to the impressive chandeliers and pink palate. Indulge in rich pasta dishes like spicy lobster capellini, a classic veal Milanese that can easily feed four, or vongole pizza while sipping on a spritz contessa or dirty martini and be transported to a different era.

By way of New York City, this Korean-style steakhouse certainly lived up to its hype, having recently been awarded a coveted Michelin star. The sleek and elegant design includes a bottle-shaped entrance into the restaurant, a sultry bar, and intimate booths outfitted with tabletop grills. The restaurant’s tasting menu, The Butcher's Feast, is the way to go. There’s also an exceptional wine offering (over 1200 bottles) under the watchful eye of award-winning sommelier Victoria James, worth exploring.

David Grutman has paired up with singer/producer Pharrell Williams for this dollhouse glam Design District spot. Glazed in a pink palate with light grey undertones, the 250-seat restaurant leans towards Italian fare with dishes like corn agnolotti, pistachio pizza, and caviar pasta. Those craving fewer carbs can opt for branzino or the porterhouse steak for two. There’s an outdoor garden that makes for perfect selfie shots that may even include a celebrity in the background.

Tucked inside Miami Beach’s adults-only, boutique Greystone hotel, this old-school spot favors elaborate tableside presentations when presenting upscale dishes like lobster uni alfredo and a deconstructed beef tartare. Get the camera ready for the foie gras creme brulee, topped with cotton candy creme Anglaise, berries, aged balsamic, and torched tableside. Save room for the new “305 Dessert,” a riff on the classic affogato featuring vanilla ice cream covered in edible 24-karat gold topped off with Louis XIII, one of the world’s most expensive cognacs.

Set in the historic Women’s Club building, this expansive, luxe seafood spot eludes grace and charm while providing a solid selection of memorable dishes. Dark woods, tall ceilings, and large floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Biscayne Bay provide the setting for a dining experience that includes grouper crudo, Norwegian king crab legs, and exclusive corn-fed beef.

Blending dinner with a beach club vibe, this laid-back lounge during the day transforms into a no-holds-barred nightclub come sundown with a live DJ and entertainment. The Mediterranean menu includes dishes like fire-roasted octopus, wood-grilled branzino, and a rack of lamb and cocktails with whimsical names like Paradise Found, Jungle Bird, and Girl From Miami.

After locations in Tel-Aviv, New York, and Ibiza, it’s fitting that chef Eyal Shan’s buzzy fourth outpost called Miami’s trendy South of Fifth neighborhood home. Joining forces with Major Food Group in its continued growing presence in the Magic City’s restaurant scene, this over-the-top Israeli restaurant sets the tone with dishes with whimsical names like “Vegetable Creatures,” and the “72 layer” steak. Those wanting a quieter affair without a severe beating to the wallet best come for the first-seating tasting menu between 6-7:30 p.m., where a four-course selection (including dessert) offers popular dishes at an affordable price point. But for those craving the HaSalon experience in its entirety, arriving later on, when the music is louder and the scene crazier, is the way to go.

Those craving nightlife with a side of steak should head to this South of Fifth restaurant, a partnership between Miami entrepreneur David Grutman and David “Papi” Einhorn. The A-List celebrity treatment begins at the entrance, where diners are escorted past velvet ropes, just like movie stars. Once inside, plush red velvet booths, walnut wood paneling, and an exotic floral print throughout paired with loud music for the ultimate clubstaurant vibe. Papi’s signature kosher-style cut Papi Steak is the menu’s highlight, along with dishes like king crab stuffed Florida lobster tail and truffle kosher chicken.

Before “clubstaurant” became a trend, there was Komodo. The cavernous three-story Asian fusion restaurant is, once more, the work of party expert, restaurateur, and nightlife mogul David Grutman. Nothing is less than flashy here, from the 17,000-square-foot space, 40-foot-high red ceilings, and futuristic, treehouse-like design. Prices are steep, so be prepared for the wallet to take a hit when ordering hits like truffle mushroom dumplings, cereal rock shrimp, and Peking duck.

其他e’s much to take in at this Miami newcomer, the sister to restaurateur Richard Caring’s Sexy Fish London. As its name implies, there’s a sea motif emphasized through opulent artwork that includes ten sculptures by Damien Hirst and fish lamps by renowned artist Frank Gehry. A massive fish tank stretches across the wall of the private dining room, and with details like sea shell-shaped sinks resting on onyx mermaid tails, the restrooms are not to be missed. Chef Bjoern Weissgerber serves dishes inspired by Asia, focusing on Japan, such as duck salad, smoked tuna belly, black cod, and king crab and bone marrow. Late-night entertainment includes mermaid dancers, headline DJs, and a late-night menu.

Wild animal print wallpaper, disco, hefty steaks, and many martinis pretty much sum up this incredibly popular restaurant, another New York transplant. It’s highly likely dinner will begin at the bar, waiting for the table to be available. No worries, this is the opportune time for people to watch and absorb the unique interior design—a patchwork of safari-meets-Barbie’s house sprinkled with a heavy dose of a disco party vibe. Steaks are the obvious highlight, along with unsuspected favorites like mushroom millefeuille, cote de pork, chicken, and crepes.
