Best Restaurants with a Scenic View in Bal Harbour

After a flight from NYC and unpacking at the hotel we all went to Le Zoo together with my daughter’s 10 month old who had never flown before. Everyone was tired and wondered how the dinner would be. It was as good as it could be. Friendly and helpful hostess, a lovely and efficient waitress and good food. We did not have to rush out but instead could relax while we ate. Good Branzino, Tasty Grilled salmon, beautiful Chicken paillard, and other good stuff including baba rum. Great job, Le Zoo! Thank you!

While visiting Miami with my husband and daughter, I wanted to show them this building which was once a cool but rundown apartment building known as the Amsterdam in the 1980s, when I lived there - before Gianni Versace bought it and turned it into his home. It took me back in time as the entry and lobby is still very much the same, and the walkway to the dining area, which was approx where the door to apt 106 once was. Being there brought back some great memories. The dining area was once another building which GV knocked down to make room for his patio and pool, behind which stands a beautiful, somewhat ostentatious, mosaic tiled wall which fortunately did not cross the line into gaudiness.

Excellent food and service. A wonderful retreat from the flashy restaurants in South Beach

Was my bd celebration. The setting is just stunning/magical. The waitress was outstanding. The food was delicious and presentation was gorgeous. DJ added to the ambiance and the little show was a great touch.

I am usually not fond of dining in large groups. But because Claudia was so attentive, responsive and professional, I felt as if though she was there just for me. Not surprised when the other guest shared how wonderful their experience was also because of Claudia’s etiquette. It’s almost as if she could read our minds. Not once did we have to look up and around and ask our chef to get our server to refresh our drink or fill our water.
