Nestled inside JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa, this high-end steakhouse has a stylish, private dining room (the Tasting Room) that seats up to 30 and is tailor-made for Instagram pics. Diners can sink their teeth into prime cuts ranging from Japanese A5 and American Wagyu beef to a selection of dry-aged meats. The meat is tempered in herb-infused butter, then grilled over wood to order. There’s a wine cellar with over 850 bottles as well.

Personality overflows at this restaurant (part of the Freehand Miami hotel), comprised of mismatched rooms. One has several large picnic tables, which beg for group gatherings. The food is as eclectic as the restaurant: offering a smorgasbord of Latin American, Middle Eastern, and American dishes that all hit the right notes.
