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

Can anyone recommend a hotel in Collins 41st area or Bal Harbour for shabbos the weekend of 5/25 - 5/27 which will be cheaper than $250 a night or cheaper than 40k Chase UR total?

 I have done the Confidante and was not a fan. I would even prefer the four points but their rate is astronomical for the weekend I am going..

I just did Fountainbleau through Airbnb for just over $200 a night, cool idea and was definitely worth it.
I did also do the Confidente for that trip, and was actually quite happy, so my opinion may not matter to you. :)

Thanks! I just didn't like the ambiance for shabbos. Nice place overall though! I just tried finding the fountainbleu on Airbnb, and came up with nothing. I would appreciate any other feedback..

Decent place. Truthfully nothing special, but customer service was amazing

That was my problem - decent place, nothing special & customer service was horrible.

Planning a first time trip to MIA. Options are a renting an already kosher house with a pool in NMB (at a decent price), or using points for the Residence Inn Surfside (space is a big factor- the status that I have will not guarantee me any upgrades so the RI will give me the most space for my points).

Obviously the space and private pool are very appealing, but will the location detract from the enjoyment of the trip? Looking at Google Maps, it will take 45 minutes to get to 41st and Collins area during rush hour.  But it is a halfway point between kosher restaurants in Aventura and Surfside. Alternatively staying in a more central area will shorten our driving time, but my wife won't be able to swim at all.

Any thoughts/opinions?

The better restaurants are in Surfside.

we often stayed near FLL and we traveled much further each day for dinner to Surfside and/or Aventura.

You will probably have a more enjoyable vacation at your own NMB private home and private pool, and then just drive in at 4:15pm for early dinner and to have a quicker "rush hour".

Driving home is usually quicker. Backyard BBQ, 26, Kosh, Mozart Cafe, Harbor Grill, etc... are all great dinner destinations, and not as far of a drive...

Can anyone recommend a hotel in Collins 41st area or Bal Harbour for shabbos the weekend of 5/25 - 5/27 which will be cheaper than $250 a night or cheaper than 40k Chase UR total?

 I have done the Confidante and was not a fan. I would even prefer the four points but their rate is astronomical for the weekend I am going..
Did you look at the holiday inn next door to the Four Points? Same owner, similar quality hotel from my understanding.

I never though I would say this, but I wish I could go to the holiday inn or the four points! they are both charging over $350 a night for my dates (5/25 - 5/27). This situation is really not looking good :(..

I'd recommend AirBnb in that case, or try to buy a night cert for one of the chains if they can book into those rooms. HI is bookable with points, which usually (but doesn't always) mean that it can be booked with a free night cert.

Or buy IHG points with the trick to get the rate down to ~$280 peer night.

Had the Reuben and Corned Beef sandwiches at ZTB.

They were both good, but it wasn't anything to write home about.

They use pastrami in the reuben, and they really trim the pastrami dry, like no fat at all on it. Was too dry for my taste.

The corned beef had much more fat, and I liked it more.

But again it was good for a local lunch, not something I'd drive to Wynwood just to get.
