The winter season in Miami isn’t just about boat parties and Basel—it's about the reservations. From scene-stealing newcomers to celeb-favorite classics, these are the restaurants you’ll want on your radar (and Resy alerts) this season.
Whether you're planning a girls' dinner, a power lunch, or a romantic night out with ocean views and too much truffle, these are the most talked-about tables in town right now.
1. Casa Neos – Miami River
A rooftop stunner and all-day destination on the river, Casa Neos brings Mykonos-meets-Miami energy to Brickell. Mediterranean plates, waterfront views, and the kind of crowd that looks like they summer in Bodrum.
Vibe: Coastal glam, golden hour cocktails, and vintage yacht club energy
📍 @casaneosmiami
2. Mother Wolf – Miami Beach (via LA)
The LA hotspot finally lands in South Florida. Expect Roman pastas, fire-roasted meats, and a moody, cinematic dining room that feels like Old Hollywood hit South Beach.
Vibe: Sexy, candlelit, and fashion-forward
📍 @motherwolfmiami
3. Casadonna – Edgewater Waterfront
The scene-iest Italian-Mexican fusion concept right now. Built in partnership with Groot Hospitality and Tao Group, Casadonna’s already a go-to for influencers, athletes, and chic locals alike.
Vibe: Coastal Riviera meets DJ set
📍 @casadonnamiami
4. Sparrow Italia – Downtown Brickell
Elevated Italian with modern design, warm lighting, and a surprisingly solid wine list. Upscale but not too flashy—perfect for a girls' night or date that deserves a little effort.
Vibe: Sophisticated downtown energy with a European twist
📍 @sparrowitalia
5. Delilah – Brickell
This LA transplant knows how to do drama. Think Gatsby-era glamour, velvet booths, and live music paired with elevated comfort food. Come for the ambiance, stay for the people-watching.
Vibe: Supper club fantasy, sequins encouraged
📍 @delilahmiami
6. Carbone – South Beach
Still hot. Still booked. Still bringing that throwback red-sauce energy with a side of celeb sightings. If you haven’t been yet (or just need another spicy rigatoni night), go.
Vibe: Italian-American nostalgia meets Rat Pack vibes
📍 @carbonemiami
7. MILA Omakase – Lincoln Road
An ultra-exclusive omakase experience tucked within the buzzy rooftop MILA. Only 10 seats, 15+ courses, and a showstopping atmosphere that blends Japanese precision with Mediterranean flair.
Vibe: Minimal, dramatic, intimate
📍 @milamiami
8. COTE Miami – Design District
Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse where the cocktails are just as good as the marbled wagyu. Tableside grill service, stunning interiors, and a cool crowd make this one of the most coveted reservations in town.
Vibe: Power dining with edge
📍 @cotemiami
9. Chateau ZZ – Little River
A mysterious, members-club-esque dining destination with limited info and high buzz. Rumors are swirling, but what we know: it’s exclusive, it’s elegant, and it’s where the insiders will be.
Vibe: Speakeasy chic meets private dinner party
📍 [Coming Soon]
10. Dirty French – Brickell
Major Food Group brings its French bistro-meets-nightlife concept to Brickell. Expect bold steakhouse fare, moody interiors, and tables full of martinis and fashion girls.
Vibe: Loud, luxe, and unapologetically French
📍 @dirtyfrench
11. The Moore Club – Design District
Part cultural hub, part culinary experience, The Moore Club is one of the most anticipated openings of the season. With a restaurant, rooftop, art space, and members club under one roof, this is more than a dinner spot—it’s a lifestyle.
Vibe: Editorial meets experiential
📍 @themooremiami

Miami's restaurant scene is officially entering its golden era. This winter, it’s all about sexy interiors, globally inspired menus, and the kind of atmosphere that turns dinner into an event.
