Miami’s hottest restaurants know that a great dining experience isn’t just about incredible food—in addition to blockbuster dishes, diners’ wishlists now include immaculate vibes.

Nest-like seats and massive bamboo columns add drama to a sceney Southeast Asian lounge. Lebanon’s sandy shores inspired the color palette at a breezy Middle Eastern spot in Coconut Grove. A historic theater with gold-leaf motifs and terrazzo floors got a second life as a luxe Japanese restaurant.

From impeccably restored relics to splashy new additions, these places are all about making bold statements. Read on for a guide to Miami’s 12 most drop-dead gorgeous restaurants.

About the restaurant

Sexy Fish is easily one of Miami’s most larger-than-life restaurants with massive murals and wall-to-wall mosaics that channel a glamorous underwater oasis. Lavish touches like underlit agate floors and some of the city’s most popular bathrooms—a life-sized Daniel Craig sculpture dressed in scuba gear—make for irresistible photo ops. Fittingly, the Asian-accented menu also takes cues from the ocean, featuring favorites like miso-glazed sea bass and grilled tiger prawn skewers.

About the restaurant

Old Florida is alive and kicking inside Amelia’s 1931. The elegant Latin-Asian restaurant is set in a former dry cleaner, and there are plenty of shoutouts to its past, from the terrazzo floors to moody track lights. The coolest design feature might just be a hidden drawer on every table—especially handy when servers need to grab fresh silverware. Which you’ll need as you eat your way through Amelia’s delicious cross-cultural mashups including Cuban pork katsu and escargot with umami butter.

As a fellow industry worker from West Kendall, it’s refreshing to see a staple in West Kendall that hits every category, service and hospitality on point, Andres was knowledgeable on the menu, and patient. Overall, it’s one of Dade County’s best. Bartender that worked last nights shift was on point, displayed elegance and professionalism as he built his rounds. Host moving around like a swan, and controlling the pace of the floor.

About the restaurant

This rooftop escape exudes peak bohemian-chic vibes. MILA’s “MediterAsian” aesthetic, inspired by its founders’ global adventures, applies to its menu—grilled octopus with romesco; ribeye with yuzu kosho and rosemary—and the eclectic decor, which uses lots of reclaimed woods, stones, and handmade linen. The getaway feels are just as strong on the outdoor terrace thanks to a 3,000-square-foot water feature, cabanas, and loungey seats you won’t be able to tear yourself away from.

About the restaurant

Celeb chef Marcus Samuelsson’s beloved Harlem transplant is set in a historic Overtown pool hall. Red Rooster’s Miami edition has tropical greenery, bright fabrics, and colorful local art, plus installations by internationally acclaimed names like Derrick Adams and Mickalene Thomas. Samuelsson’s menu is a thoughtful mix of Afro-Caribbean and Latin American dishes, and he gets bonus points for hosting regular performances and exhibitions by local musicians and visual artists.

About the restaurant

This grand mansion traces its roots to 1930 and was modeled after a palace in the Dominican Republic. Once it became home to late fashion mogul Gianni Versace, he added its ornate, claim-to-fame pool, made up of more than a million mosaic tiles (some are made from 24-carat gold). It’s now the centerpiece of the must-visit Italian restaurant, and a poolside meal here includes hits like truffle gnocchi, lamb fettuccine, and whole branzino.

About the restaurant

Spread out over three levels, Komodo impresses with glowy red lights, huge bamboo columns, and bird’s nest-like seats that float above the dining room. Whether you score a coveted mezzanine perch or a place in one of the plush red banquettes on the main floor, there’s no bad seat for digging into the restaurant’s contemporary Asian dishes, which include lobster shumai, Peking duck, and Wagyu fried rice.

Always delicious! Must get the Komodo chicken salad and the peking duck, add the waygu dumplings if you need more food! Place is trendy and a little loud but worth it… go early if you want less noise (it’s what I do).

About the restaurant

Interiors whiz Ken Fulk is the brain behind this Major Food Group charmer. Begin your night with cocktails in a jungle-themed lounge before ending up in one of four wildly different dining areas, which include a mirror-lined space with a disco ball or a zebra-themed room decked with chandeliers in the shape of garlic cloves (the restaurant’s most-used ingredient). On the menu, expect world-class cuts of meat with traditional sides like creamed spinach and whipped potatoes.

This is very much a Major Food Group experience: a lovely setting, excellent food and very good service. All of the kale salad, duck l’orange and wagyu beef are outstanding. The bar tender made a really good Vesper martini and our server, Maya, gave excellent advice and was very attentive. We will return for sure.

About the restaurant

This all-pink Insta-worthy paradise was imagined by award-winning design collective Studio Munge, who decorated the place with curvy leather walls and portraits of iconic female actors including Grace Kelly, Sophia Loren, and Audrey Hepburn. Custom glass chandeliers from Italy brighten up the room and provide the perfect lighting for occasion-worthy food like truffle cacio e pepe and veal Milanese.

About the restaurant

After a multi-million dollar facelift in 2023, the historic Paris Theater became Queen, a luxe Japanese restaurant. Enter through the regal golden doors and you’ll find yourself in a stunning space that’s part Old Hollywood glam and part Miami Art Deco adorned with accents like gold-leaf motifs, marble countertops, and Lobmeyr chandeliers. There’s no doubt Queen is one of Miami’s most beautiful restaurants, and, luckily, the sushi and sashimi served here is stunning, too.

About the restaurant

Los Fuegos lives inside one of Miami’s most design-forward hotels, the Faena, so it’s no surprise the restaurant is also a see-and-be-seen destination. Gold-painted ceilings, flashy murals, and massive crystal chandeliers make it a South Beach hotspot, and playful details like leopard-print booths mean it’s one of the more interesting dining rooms in the area. A solid Argentinian steak and seafood menu and a deep wine list make Los Fuegos the place for a meal—and a setting—to remember.

Hard to believe that we paid a lot and I still can say “we got value for our money”. The service was knowledgeable and friendly. Realizing that we had 3 children in our 3 generation party of 6 and that children at times “cannot wait” service made sure that bread and then appetizers arrived rapidly. The food as usual was outstanding from start to finish. When the staff realized that it was my birthday they added to our desert collection a birthday cake plus candle. On top of the great food we all experienced life music plus performance of talented dancers. An unforgettable night.

About the restaurant

This breezy Middle Eastern restaurant was inspired by Lebanon’s sandy shores and contemporary Mediterranean architecture. Which explains its dreamy palette of dusty rose and muted terracotta, white plaster walls, and natural oak wood floors. Amal is an inviting spot for both daytime celebrations and evening feasts, known for shareable platters of hummus, babaganoush, skewers, and kebabs.

The food was great. The chicken shawarma platter was delicious. The dessert was nice, but not as good as the food. I ordered Turkish coffee but I could still feel the coffee not fully grained. We asked the waitress if we could switch it for regular coffee and she said yes. Amazing customer service. Overall 4/5

About the restaurant

Jaya, set in the courtyard of the Setai hotel, is a stunning tropical oasis, decked with palm trees and a serenity pond bordered by tables and comfy lounge areas. Depending on the weather, you can either eat under the stars or a retractable roof. The menu criss-crosses Asia, so expect world-class dumplings, crudo, sushi, and noodles. Fire dancers and acrobats parade around the sleek space on an almost nightly basis, making a meal here feel extra festive.
