Description:
AVENTURA. Local chef Scott Fredel has opted for a relaxed atmosphere at stylish, upscale Pilar. Hardwood floors, comfortable seating and original art give the restaurant a modern bistro feel that completely belies its strip-mall location. Floribbean seafood is the specialty, prepared with a deft hand and perky island flavors. Try seared mahi mahi, sautéed yellowtail snapper or fried conch with hearts of palm slaw, and wrap things up with moist chocolate chip banana cake. Affordable wines are a great boon, as is early-bird dining from 5pm to 6pm. |

Try the skirt steak, served with smashed avocado, crispy plantains, lemon and garlic oil, or grilled swordfish with whites, calamari and kalamata olive dust. After dinner, unwind with a sinfully rich ovaltini (vanilla vodka, Godiva liquor and Bailey's). |

Description:
NORTH MIAMI BEACH. Standout Japanese cuisine makes this kitchen a favorite with folks who appreciate some of Japan's lesser-known delicasies, from panko-crusted oysters to kim chee hot pots to chrysanthemum tempura. Order several of their small plates (with sake, of course) and ask local diners to recommend their favorites. The late (or is it early?) closing time makes this Dixie Highway dive a fav of night owls on the quest for inventive eats. |
