Traymore
"A new addition to Miami, the cuisine at this spot in the Metropolitan by COMO is fresh and vibrant, just like its surroundings. I always leave completely satisfied.” 2445 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-695-3600
Hy Vong
“No matter what the wait may be for a table, the fried chicken here is always worth it. It’s a hidden gem in Miami that is always busy, filled mostly with locals.” 3458 S.W. Eighth St., Miami, 305-446-3674
Yardbird
“If you follow me on Twitter, you know I'm a fan of Yardbird's fried chicken. But here, you want to indulge in all the fixins' to go along with it—the mac and cheese, charred okra, and classic buttermilk biscuits are a must.” 1600 Lenox Ave., Miami Beach, 305-538-5220
Macaluso's
“There's a reason they're known for their meatballs—they're absolutely delicious. A hearty Italian joint, this place is a Miami tradition that draws in locals and travelers alike with its full-flavored dishes.” 1747 Alton Road, Miami, 305-604-1811
Pascal's on Ponce
“I really enjoy the bistro menu at this Coral Gables staple. Their flat-iron steak and gruyére soufflé are the perfect things to top off a day of shopping on Miracle Mile.” 2611 Ponce De Leon Blvd., Coral Gables, 305-444-2024
