Best Restaurants for Foodies in Design District

Àlvaro and Martìn were the staff who served our table and they were exquisite. The food was unbelievable, the music and energy were sexy and fun, the ambiance was undeniably romantic. My wife and I were blown away by the recommendations for cocktails, the presentation and quality of taste in the dishes and the exceptional attention to detail in service our staff and the restaurant provided for us. It will genuinely be difficult to top this experience.

I've been eating at Michael's regularly for over a decade. The food is consistently excellent--creative and inspired. It is one of the few places in Miami where you can reliably get good service. Finally, outdoors is quiet--meaning you can have a conversation without straining to hear. I'm not even sure they play background music. Michael's is a gem! Prices, however, have gone up quite dramatically in the last 2 or so yrs. But they're inflated everywhere around town. In short, meal is not cheap, but you will enjoy yourself very much.

After dining last summer at Bottura’s flagship Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy, we were looking forward to a less fussy (and cheaper) experience. On a rainy night, the indoor space was cute and boisterously fun. The staff clearly Italian and top notch. All the food was great and some dishes more closely aligned with technique and unique flavor over others. Still an expensive adventure but worth it, especially in a pretty dead location in Miami. It will have to become a destination to make it.

Wonderful night for Noche Buena, excellent ambiance and service with Lucas. Great Latin specials with Chipa, Vitel Tone and a moqueca type dish. Delicious and great pricing. Hope to be back soon!

Pound for pound MC kitchen is the most consistent restaurant in the design district. Lunch or dinner you won’t be disappointed
