From Atlanta to Miami, we've been settling into our new home and figuring out all the best spots along the way. There's so much here between the food, the nightlife, and the things to do, so we're keeping a running list. Here's what's earned a permanent spot on our rotation so far.
where we stayed
East Miami
Did a staycation here and loved every bit of it. A perfect reset without ever leaving the city, sleek rooms and an easy, relaxed atmosphere throughout.
date night
Daniels
Our favorite restaurant in Coral Gables. We've been here multiple times, brunch, dinner, their happy hours, and Daniels is definitely a staple for us. Their happy hour deal is genuinely great too, worth planning around.
Prime 112
A classic Miami staple. We loved everything, the food quality was great across the board, and we finished off with one of their jumbo cake slices, definitely worth the hype.
Sunny's Steakhouse
Another go-to when we're in the mood for a proper steak dinner. Loved the sunset dinner vibe, and the pork chops and pasta we tried were so yummy. Let's talk about how fluffy their bread is too.
Casadonna
A solid pick whenever we want something a little different for date night, always delivers. Loved the Miami atmosphere, the kind of spot that makes a regular Tuesday feel like an occasion.
dinner with a fun night out
Kiki on the River
Always a great vibe, waterfront dinner that turns into a full night out without you even planning it. Make sure you check them out on a Sunday night, that's when the vibes are at their best.
Red Rooster
We love their food overall, and their brunch is just as good as dinner. On the weekends their upstairs opens up into a full bar lounge with a DJ, so dinner can easily turn into the whole night. Another one of our favorites.
Mila
Great food and even better vibes, and they do a nightly fire show that makes it feel like an event every time, dinner or brunch.
brunch
Kyu
Tried this during their Miami Spice brunch and it was so good. Did someone say bottomless bellinis and mimosas? We definitely fell in love with their bourbon banana french toast.
Bistro Cafe
Our ultimate favorite casual brunch spot. Food is always a hit, very affordable, and the portions are huge. This is the one we recommend to everyone.
rooftop vibes
Rosa Sky Rooftop
Great vibe, beautiful sunset views over Brickell, and good drinks and bites to match. Our go-to when we want a rooftop night.
things to do
Beach Day at Nikki Beach
So relaxing, and the food and vibes there are great too. A perfect mix of a luxurious beach day, we love the day beds.
ATV Sunset Tour with South Florida Off Road Tours
So much fun. A completely different side of the area and a great way to spend a golden-hour afternoon. Who doesn't love a good ATV ride?
Jungle Island
A great fun vibe, obstacle-course style with zip lining and more, perfect for an active day out.
Yacht/Boat Day
Worth it every single time. You genuinely can't come to Miami without having a boat day, the skyline views from the water alone make it worth it.
This list is definitely going to keep growing the longer we're here, so consider this the starting point.
