The Restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach

"But the hotel also has great amenities, such as the Cantina Beach restaurant, a sleek affair with a fire pit in the sand and more than 80 kinds of tequila, making it a good choice for romantic getaways"

""Everyone should stay here at least once" rave devotees of this "elegant", "indulgent" oceanfront "icon" that is "well located near restaurants and shops " but also provides "nothing but the best" in its restaurants, along with a "nice" pool and "to-die-for" spa; "wonderful" accommodations feature iPod docks, balconies and marble bathrooms, and though some consider the price "extremely high", fans say they "get what they pay for" from the "excellent" staffers, who "seem to know you by name"

"Dining choices abound here, with fresh ocean-to-table cuisine and craft cocktails at DiLido Beach Club, Bistro One LR and the resort's new Spanish restaurant TATEL by ambassadors Manuel Campos, Abel Mtutes, Pau Gasol, Enrique Iglesias and Rafael Nadal"

"Restaurantwise, the One LR Bistro does a lovely contemporary American/Spanish menu, but for livin’ la vida SoBe, the DiLido Beach Club out back is hard to beat"

"The wonderful DiLido Beach Club restaurant is, believe it or not, one of the very few places in Miami where you can get a beachside meal"

"Of course, you’ll find no shortage of celebrity chef restaurants and Cuban eateries in the area, but for something a little more local, try the swanky Southeast Asian cuisine at Khong River House"
