    I will be in South Beach around Christmas and New Years. What are some restaurants that I shouldn't miss while I'm there?

    Prime One Twelve is definitely among those that I would consider not to be missed. Unfortunately, you might have difficulty getting a reservation as it is always very popular.

    After eating at Prime One Twelve I'd definitely consider it to be one of the best steak houses in the country, and I believe it even outshines Peter Luger's in New York in terms of the quality of the food and innovation. (Though, Peter Luger's is still the best "traditional" old-style steak house).

    Certainly the clientele is more stylish in Miami, so it is a real scene there, as it is right on Ocean Drive. The nonsteak items on the menu were sublime (the rich truffled mac-n-cheese is unbelievable) and the wine list is more than adequate.

    You'll easily have too much food no matter what you order, but I definitely recommend saving room for dessert. I was floored at how good their pastry chef was. The best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had, hands down. Would have been a good last meal.

    Despite the issues with the Mandarin Oriental, I really felt that Azul was one of the top restaurants in Miami. I know others agree as it is a very popular destination, even if it isn't in South Beach. You'll definitely be impressed, and I can't recommend it enough.

    Michy's on Biscayne Boulevard is the best meal you'll have in Miami, hands down. Wonderful southern soul food with Latin influences. Not coincidentally, it was opened by Michelle Bernstein, who was well known for her work at Azul at the Mandarin Oriental. Where ever she goes, that's the place to be.

    For anyone else who is going to Miami, Blue Door at the Delano and Wish at The Hotel in South Beach are also very good.

    We had a fantastic dinner at Casa Tua. It is like eating at a friend's house who is a fantastic chef. The service is outstanding. We had dinner there with friends we had not seen for years and the waiter's patience was exceptional. He never made us feel as if he was in a hurry and we had a leisurely dinner with multiple courses.
