Ocean Drive

Ocean Drive is iconic and always lively. It is a tourist mainstay, and you can always find shops, food or even just a colorful people-watching scene.

Papi Steak: Papi Steak is a showy steakhouse with a great menu and a fun, lively atmosphere. This spot gets crowded and is a Miami scene don't be surprised to see a celebrity or two at the table nearby. There are usually DJ's Friday/Saturday nights, making this an excellent spot for a pre-party dinner or even as the main event for a fun night out. Be prepared to wait 30-60 minutes for a table, but try to get a spot at the bar and do some people-watching!

Carbone Miami: A special occasion restaurant, this is the Miami outpost of the New York staple and is much more lively than the New York location. Beautiful space and a Miami scene. Don't be surprised to see celebrities at the tables nearby. There is indoor seating and a patio. If possible, I recommend sitting indoors to experience the atmosphere. The spicy rigatoni and the meatballs are worth it, but you can't go wrong – almost every dish is fantastic. If you happen to make a later reservation, they often play an excellent old-school hip-hop playlist.

Komodo: This Brickell destination by David Grutman is a large swanky Asian-themed restaurant. It sports a lively bar and a sprawling restaurant space. Expect a dressy Miami crowd and a see and be seen environment.

Front Porch Cafe: Delicious low-key spot for breakfast/brunch or even lunch on Ocean Drive. They have a great breakfast and a relaxed environment with a large covered patio and a big dining room and bar. They don't take reservations, and there is often a 20-30 minute wait at peak times.

GITANO: This Miami outpost of the Tulum-based restaurant serves upscale Mexican fare in a trendy boho-chic environment. There is an indoor dining room and a small rooftop complete with palm trees and a disco ball.

Kiki on the River: This Greek restaurant on the water has beautiful décor and celebratory energy. Come on the weekends during the day for a high-energy scene. Guests can come by boat and dock directly next to the restaurant.

Barton G: Expect a fun, trendy environment and tasty food, but the main attraction here is the presentation of the dishes. Every item and most drinks come with an over-the-top, Instagram-worthy presentation.

Bâoli: This Asian-American restaurant turns into a nightclub around 11 PM. Fun for a one-stop-shop to have dinner in a loud, lively atmosphere and then dance and drink when they clear the tables and turn up the music.
