One of South Beach's best Chinese restaurants. Busy at the bar on weekends and most afternoons. Always great service and food.Īcross from the gay beach at 12th Street and Ocean Drive. This popular restaurant for locals is busy for breakfast and lunch. Maya Tapas & Grill is located at 809 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, and open daily for daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner from 9 a.m. And it has a comfortable – as my friend Charlie described it – restaurant that offers its own spin on "modern Miami eats," while paying homage to the location's history with an $11.20 (in honor of the hotel's address) Nash salad that tosses together goat cheese balls on a beautiful bed of watercress and mache and pea shoots dressed with a sherry and fig vinaigrette.įeaturing more than 30 Spanish-style tapas, the restaurant's Argentinean-influenced menu has something for everyone. It has this very minimalist SoBe, yet oh-so-rich, beach-y vibe. The Lords has enlivened the old Nash Hotel with its 53 cheekily decorated rooms (yeah, that's La Liz Taylor watching you sleep, and, yep, that's a polar bear welcoming you).

I have to say that everyone involved with its operation (and success – you try getting a table sans reservation) shares a commitment to excellence and values the same things, chief among them a constantly surprising menu and service that's second to none. Located in the Sunset Harbour neighborhood of South Beach, Joe Allen is the standard by which every restaurant in town should be judged because they really know what they're doing there.
