Why You Should Go: We all have our cooking show break-downs, lamenting our inability to whip up a meal like Ina Garten or dominate the grill like Bobby Flay. Just because we can't master the wok, doesn't mean we can't enjoy fresh, flavorful fare for less (and don't have to cook ourselves). Just have to head to Amuse Restaurant & Lounge at the Casa Moderna Miami Hotel for a meal worthy of a cable show.

Why You’ll Love It: Reflecting the vibrant and creative vibe of downtown Miami, this lively spot offers a menu of unique small plates and American fare with an international twist. The sexy, sleek atmosphere creates the perfect setting for enjoying a few cocktails (like a Pama Mojito or Lemongrass Infused Champagne) while taking in breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay. 

What to Eat: Spark your appetite with small plates like grilled skirt steak skewers with sweet plantain and mango chutney or Japanese pumpkin ravioli with sage almond brown butter. When you’re ready for a full meal, try entrees from land and from sea, like grilled flatiron steak, roasted garlic, truffle mashed potato and porcini butter, or grilled salmon chipotle, roasted tofu and tomatoes.
