MIA Guide.

Right now, these are those restaurants. Some spots on this list are excellent, and some aren't. But they are the hardest ones to get intoβand we want you to know which are actually worthwhile. Check back for regular updates. We only rate spots where you can eat a full meal.
Little River. Verdict: Sunny's is officially the hottest restaurant in Miami. And we get it. Ask us for a recommendation for any sort of celebratory dinner, and our first answer is going to be Sunny's. The space is a magnificent and seamless blend of indoor and outdoor seating.
The steakhouse-adjacent food is precise and delicious. And if you don't have a blast drinking martinis at one of the big round tables with your friends, consider getting new ones. But if you missed that window, seats at their indoor bar are held for walk-ins.
It's a small bar, but the full menu is available there, and they offer Happy Hour Wednesday through Sunday from pm to 7pm. Arrive exactly at pm and maybe even earlier than that to beat the crowd. Buena Vista. Verdict: Size is what makes Boia De so hard to book. Boia De is barely wider than a bowling lane and riding a wave of over five years of deserved hype.
