Restaurants & Institutions list of Top 100 Independent Restaurants is out and while the highest-grossing independent restaurants in the US dropped from $1.52 billion in food-and-beverage sales to $1.37 billion, we wont cry for any of them. The three Miami restaurants on the list: Joe's Stone Crab, coming in at #3 with '09 sales at $26,272,000, Prime 112 at #14 with $18,889,430, and in a surprise appearance, DeVito South Beach at #98 with $10,000,000. Number one? The reigning Tao Las Vegas at a whopping $59,292,345. Number 2, not so ironically, is the defunct Tavern on the Green, whose impressive $27,000,000 still couldn't keep it out of the weeds. [EaterWire]
