Want to have your mind blown by a homegrown tomato in February? Michael’s Genuine is the answer to your sun-seeking prayers. The perennially popular New American restaurant has unpretentious and satisfying food, like perfectly charred octopus with tomato harissa, and craveable snacks like crispy hominy or pan-fried onion dip. The large-format dishes are great for sharing, making it the perfect destination for bigger groups and families looking for a special night out on the town. This place is trés Miami—red accents, abstract art, and a crowd to match.

PRO TIP: Opt for one of the courtyard tables adorned with bistro lights.

THE DETAILS: Even with a reservation, you might have to wait. Luckily, the surrounding shops stay open late and are perfect for an impulse buy or window shopping.
