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

Mozart Sunny isles -  large semi sheltered area outside the restaurant

Would anyone know of a reliable driver/taxi ....and what the rates are from fll airport to miami beach & from mia airport to miami beach?

I would also be open to taking subway or bus, if that's an option.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thank you so much.

A taxi from FLL can be up to 75 dollars.
A taxi from MIA is 35 dollars.

From MIA you can take the AirportFlyer bus for 2 dollars goes straight to 41st Street in MB.

From FLL you can take the Tri-Rail to Downtown Miami, and from there either cab or take city busses.

Ideally Miami but open to north as well
the Sheraton suites was a great, low cost SPG place with a bedroom , bathro and a sleep sofa in the room that you first walk into - for your 2 boys.

They have either 2 q or a king in the master,
Chisaron is that the bathroom is in he master, so if your boys are out of diapers they need to go into ur room for bathroom.
Chisaron #2 is that it's more north - past ft Lauderdale or nearby -
Shuls are a bit of a drive, but Euro Fusion, Cafe Emunah, etc.. all good.

Also it's set up that when kids are asleep you can go down to the bar and the rooms/halls are all open air so you can see all 6-8 floors - Nice fountain, stream with fish and turtles in lobby and near bar -
A free trip for the kids..
hard to explain layout , but prob on their site or I can post pics:
4,000 SPG per night :)
Place is called Sheraton Suites Cypress Creek

the Sheraton suites was a great, low cost SPG place with a bedroom , bathro and a sleep sofa in the room that you first walk into - for your 2 boys.

They have either 2 q or a king in the master,
Chisaron is that the bathroom is in he master, so if your boys are out of diapers they need to go into ur room for bathroom.

Their website shows 5:30 Mincha: http://www.chabadinsouthbeach.com/
i see a 7:45 shacharis and breakfast..
cool map of all locations here - maybe a nearby shul/chabad house has an 8 or 8:30 : http://www.chabad.org/centers/default_cdo/city/Miami%20Beach/state/Florida/country/USA/jewish/Chabad-Lubavitch.htm

How can the last one be the closest if it's in Miami, FL and not even in Miami Beach? Coral Springs is a half hour drive from south beach, he's better off davening in the 41st Street area that is a 10 min drive.

on the map, that spot looked closest to the south beach spot.
Coral Springs looked further.
He can choose whatever links he'd like,
however, I'd recommend calling in advance if it is a mesivta -
while it's never been an issue for me, there may be a school one day that doesn't permit people 'off the street' to join/enter building - for safety/security reasons..

Going to be in Miami for 4 nights with 2 little kids. Any recommendations as Where to stay? -decent place. Probably suite with 2 rooms have points to burn. Would spend up to about 250 per night too if needed.  after all my searching I'm just confused by now.
If your going with your children & will need more than one room why don't you rent a house in North Miami Beach with a private pool?

+1
that's true for his $250 per night budget; would love a private pool.
You have a link for that?

Or, for free (4,000 spg points per night) they can get a 2 room suite with outdoor pool,
fitness room, bar, and indoor stream.. def more budget accomodations, but we managed to spend $100+
on dinner each night..  ;)

The Lubavitch yeshiva on 15th and Alton should have a minyan around that time.
