Lion country safari
If all else fails, beach and pool

JJ1000's list of top restaurants and dishes in Miami:

1. Backyard BBQ (New chef in mid 2017 totally new menu): Burnt ends, 2nd cut brisket, Dinosaur Rib, BBQ Sundae, BBQ Burger.

2. 26: Sushi pizza is  a must I prefer it with baked salmon, then the Passion Mojito, Sushi Teriyaki tempuraed, Cilantro Aioli dip and truffle fires, all of their soups are good. Miso Bass is incredible as well.

3. Harbour Bistro, new menus in early 2018: Chicken and waffles just perfect, duck a l'orange pot stickers, millionaire ramen, lamb shank, charcuterie platter if that's your thing... Also serving brunch, Chicken and waffles again, eggs Benedict with bacon on top,

4. Fuego: Flatbreads are a must, then the back ribs, pastrami egg rolls, smores dessert, perfect date drink are good. (Update March 2017, the app chef and bbq chef isn't there anymore and the quality has been spotty from recent reviews.)

5. Zak The Baker. Menu changes too often to recommend stuff. Not Cholov Yisroel.

6. Kosh: Chocolate souffle and korean beef with extra sauce are good.

7. Rustiko: Spinach and Artichoke Dip, (Quinoa Salad is very good), (Pappardelle Mushroom if lunch), Mushrooms Panzerotti is an absolute must order only down side is it's a dinner only item. Oreo cheescake dessert but make sure it's fresh.

8. Harbour Grill: The Harbour Grill Filet or TheKing Reserve steaks are great. Supreme Burger is very good as well.

9. Pizza type options:

Foozo: Foozolis, the caprese foozoli with extra balsamic sauce and garlic aoili, their pastas are good as well.

Jerusalem Pizza: Best plain pie, get it fresh in store, coated fries good as well.

Lenny's pizza: Gan Eden Pie.

Also notable unique places are The Freeze which makes ices, serendipity makes ice cream (there is one next door to ZTB now), and Miami Beach Chocolates turtles and bark now also in Surfside!


#2020 Restaurants with outdoor seating

Soho - large semi enclosed patio, perfect for a rainy day

Fuego - large semi sheltered area outside the restaurant, indoors area has a new $20k air filtration system

Mozart Sunny isles -  large semi sheltered area outside the restaurant

Foozo - streetside tables

Zak The Baker -  streetside tables

Cine Cita, Backyard BBQ, Street Kitchen, 26, Kosh - streetside tables on Harding Ave

Where we ate last year:
Grill Time
China Bistro
Harbour Grill
Pistachio
Shemtov's
Jona's
Cinne Cita Cafe
Mozart FLL
Schakolad
Skoops
Frieze

What's new and what did we miss that we should cover this year?

Grill Time North Miami changed up their menu a bit since the last time.

A nice dairy/fish place would be Fresko in Aventura. Worth checking out.   http://www.freskomiami.com/

Mozart in SIB is the newest to the mozart family, and is really good.
Other good ones to try out would be rare steakhouse and burger bar.

Are you referring to the famous pita burger bar in North Miami Beach?

Do not be confused with the Israeli Burgers bar company.
Although yes their hamburgers are really really good

Yes i am referring to the one in NMB. It's not like mozart or rare, it is more of a casual place with very good tasty food.

Any suggested activities being that we have a 17 month old?
Last time we did Vizcaya and shopping and that was about it.  Kind've like LA, eat, eat, eat.

Worth going to the Everglades?

Anyone know a frum babysitter firsthand?

Anyone know a frum babysitter firsthand?

If your in the Aventura area, veterans park is a nice little park. It's free.
Founders park has a whole water section that he may love. But it's pricey.

Dan- I pm'd the fellow with the username "pps" from the link I sent you. I was in Miami recently and was thinking of using a babysitter. (I didn't end up needing her) You can pm me for her number. I asked him for some information on the babysitter he used and he sent me the following- "No problem, Im not sure if u r familiar but i stayed at the Eden Roc Hotel and she lives less then a minute drive from there and a block away from Chabad. we had to bring our baby to her but she only charged 5 dollars an hour and we were able to bring our baby any time including evenings even as late as 9 oclock! her husband learns  in the miami kollel and she was amazing Njoy your trip good luck"

Any suggested activities being that we have a 17 month old?

The miami metrozoo is great and very affordable too, they have a kiddie area, and they are ranked #5 on TA - http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g34438-Activities-Miami_Florida.html.

Don't forget about the entertainment book for a few good BOGO coupons.

Hey Dan you've hit up most of the good places. There isn't much left in terms of restaurants.

Although I haven't been in a while, you might want to consider Seventeen, which last I remember is a pretty solid dairy place with good sushi.

Also, although I've never been but have been dying to try, there is Thai Treat which has kosher Thai, Indian and other kinds of food like that. It is located near the old original Sara's on 123rd, down the ways from Bal Harbor mall. It seems interesting enough to try at least once. Just haven't been able to find anyone yet who enjoys that kind of food.

In terms of things to do with kids there, there isn't much for kids that age really that it looks like you haven't done yet. Maybe try Parrot jungle. The everglades might not be that enjoyable for a young kid.
