NAOE
Overlooking the banks of the Miami River, NAOE (pronounced NA-OH-EE) was rated a Best New Restaurant 2010 by Florida Trend magazine. Chef Kevin Cory dispenses of menus, and you'll be able to watch him prepare your sushi or sashimi right in front of you in NAOE's open-air setup. This is a restaurant experience you'll want to share with friends.

Il Gabbiano
Il Gabbiano is not a trendy restaurant; expect to be served Italian classics, with a focus on rich flavors and meticulous preparation rather than innovation and glamour. Ask the sommelier for a recommendation to match your meal.
