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

How about restaurants? What's closest to FLL?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Best place for A-Z takeout for shabbos?
Kosher Kingdom IMO
Planning on going to surfside as getaway next weekend- can anyone confirm if either Chabad or Young Israel still has a lunch-like kiddush in summer?  Many thanks.
I believe they do

it was kosher and rented to a Jew who keeps kosher. But they can't verify 100 percent that its kosher.

That they cannot certify that somebody staying there didn't trief it up, but since it was once Kosher we don't know the status changed - the concept is called חזקה דמעיקרא

The Gemara says we learn it from the fact that a house with צרעת remains Tahor until such time as we know for a fact the צרעת appeared, even though it is quite possible the צרעת was there and the house was טמא earlier.


There is a common misconception that Kashrus is about the absolute knowledge in absence of doubt, whereas in reality it is only about whether or not it is considered kosher in case of doubt.

If you would require absolute knowledge, many parts of the Torah would become inapplicable, for example we know that we can rely on Roiv, the majority, since otherwise we would never know who a person's father is & it would be impossible to execute all mitzvah pertaining to paternity (there are many punishments involved in mistreating parents which we can only prosecute by relying on the fact that most intercourses are with one's husband).

We also know that in certain instances even 1 witness is reliable, from the fact that otherwise it would be impossible to rely on one's wife in regards to her purity.
״וזה כלל גדול: שישנא אדם כל דבר שקר. וכל מה שיוסיף שנאה לדרכי השקר – יוסיף אהבה לתורה.״ - אורחות צדיקים

Just stayed at Ritz Bal Harbour.  The room was excellent; everything else was average or below expectations.  Service was mediocre; pool/pool area is nothing special and relatively small for a "resort" property; very few other lounge/hangout areas in the hotel itself.  Haven't been to St. Regis but will definitely check it out next time over the Ritz.

Planning a 2-3 day getaway to Palm Beach.

I assume the closest kosher food is in Boca.
Any recommendations for 2 dinners?

Can anyone recommend a hotel for a single dad traveling in August to the Miami area with 3 kids, ages 9,8, and 6? Relatively near Miami Beach, but not in a tznius sensitive spot..I've got SPG (and Marriott) gold, and IHG plat, and I'd like to figure out how to get upgraded to a suite..the kids are small, and my wife isn't with me, so I'd rather go lower end and save points.

i would say the turnberry isle but it is Miami so tznius will always be an issue especially close to the beach. Turnberry aisle is not in the beach and is in a less crowded area so it should be better

+1
but depending on your situation the residence inn accross the street may be better. Also, Turnberry has a pool right in the middle which you need to pass to get to many (all?) rooms. It is possible to skirt around it but you may want to take that into consideration with kids.

Bottom line. Is there any risk of traveling pregnant to south florida? Has FT Lauderdale ever been an issue?

Um, ask your OB?
