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

hotel said they cannot commit depends on availability standard check in 400pm
DW does not want to take such a gamble  well see what happens  :-\
Are they that a busy hotel? Check availability online. I would tell you to try your luck, & set up a nearby backup. Maybe someone knows of a spacious public restroom in a hotel nearby.

If they can't commit to you, they're probably not committing to anyone else.  So go straight from the airport, tell them you know check-in is 4:00, but you have a 3:00 wedding, and do they think there's a chance that a room might be available a bit earlier so that you can get dressed?  Then hang out in the lobby, looking hopefully at the front desk...

Yup, as long as you're flexible on the room location, it's very rare that you can't get in by 2 or 3. Often you can get in earlier than that.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Ha, reminds me of the time as a bucher, bunch of guys were convinced we can sleep in the car on a road trip. 6 am we all had enough. Made a reservation for the next night at hotel and called if they mind if we drop off our bags in our rooms etc etc. Got the room key at 6:30 am and we all konked out .

Will be staying on Collins and 52nd.  Anyone have any experience using coworking spaces nearby?  Wework is kind of close but maybe someone had a better idea?  Need reliable internet and quiet.

They should have a tailor made insurance policy that specifically covers you as a ride share Turo driver.
Some owners require pick up and many offer airport delivery for free or for a fee.
Turo is awesome.  They meet you at terminal, assuming the listing states so.  Be careful with in airport pickup.  Some have turbo factories with a bunch of cars in lot so quite a big walk there and back.  Best is terminal delivery to and from.  I never got insurance and rolled the dice.  Cc insormace won’t cut it as it excludes this type of stuff.  Codes available online for $25 off.  Go with someone who has rented in past to there (reviews!).  Great service overall

Sorry, but rolling the dice on insurance is not awesome at all.

Anyone know of a hotel in Fort Lauderdale or Palm Beach that you could get with Hyatt points that is on the water?
Also, any suggestions of stuff to do in that general area for a couple for this time of year?

Anyone stay in the 41st street area this time of year? I have plans to go next week but just realized it might be spring break. Wondering how impacted mid-beach is by spring break.

Are they exempt from state mandated minimums?

Not exactly food that you can eat in a park.
Why don't you eat somewhere else? Or try for a walk-in table or sit at the bar?

I can try that. Do you need a reservation to sit by the bar?
