This is a classic dining experience. It was established back in 1913 and it has maintained its popularity ever since. Here you will find their speciality – stone crab – which you can pair with a number of side dishes. They are also famous for their old school white table linen and delicious desserts. The stone crabs are usually available from October until May. You can’t reserve a table so be patient. There’s also a takeaway version next door.
Red, the Steakhouse
One of Miami’s true fine dining experiences. This establishment is well known for its Certified Angus Beef and being named one of the top ten steakhouses in the US.
