crowded; once you sit down you will almost immediately, be greeted by a server. I’d share with you the dishes that i like most, but are there way too many to choose from. From the Homestead Guacamole to the Conch burger, to the Chicken & Waffles and even the Turkey burger. Every dish on the menu can easily be paired with a beer or a glass of wine. What I love most about this place is that they take pride in keeping there food & beer local. On a Quarterly basis they’ll feature a few unique beer options from other regions, but for the most part everything stays local. If you love key lime pie, then you’ll love that their key lime pie is made fresh every morning, in house. I promise you won’t get key lime pie like this from anywhere not even the keys. (Key West) Their MUST TRY are definitely the Gator bites. Best Gastropub in Miami, hands down! 5) NOMI BAR & GRILL (Soulfood) “Were Class Meets Soul” Source: NoMi (Facebook) Google: Ratings 4.2 202 Reviews NoMi 738 NE 125th St, North Miami, FL 33161 (305)400-8779 The first thing you see when I walk in this establishment is Issac Hayes, Prince & James Brown paintings on the wall. Then the smooth sound of Franklin Beverly comes on, “Happy people; creating the perfect neo-soul atmosphere. This restaurant is authentic with its home- cooked, mouth-watering Soul food cuisine with a pinch of chic sophistication. This is soul food at its finest. They serve fried Catfish, Snapper (done the right way), crab cakes and shrimp & grits; just to name a few menu items. The menu also pays homage to a few of the late greats; such as, Barry White with their “let’s get it on” wings. Definitely comfort food! Their fried ribs is a definite MUST TRY! 6.

You can take a seat on the gorgeous back patio deck as it over looks the coastal; while you order a strawberry mojito, tortilla chips and ceviche as you scour the menu at Kaluz. This isn’t your standard, American style restaurant, its also the perfect place for lunch. You MUST TRY the Hatfield farm pork chop (8oz bone in), served with apple chutney, cinnamon demi & parmesan mashed potatoes. And if you have space for dessert you’ll also love their artisan French bread, dried cranberries, and their grand marnier & vanilla custard bread puddings. 7.
