Outfitted with sleek crème-colored banquettes, rectangular bar stools, soft lighting and stone accents, the design of this restaurant demonstrates impeccable style. For added ambience, sit under the stars at a patio table, illuminated by candlelight. The kitchen artfully incorporates a variety of culinary traditions into its winning bites. 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). Soyka (Nightlife - Lounge) 5582 NE 4th Ct, Miami  FL  33137 • 305-759-3117 Distance: ~9.66 mi         Description: UPPER EAST SIDE.

Grass Restaurant & Lounge (Nightlife - Lounge) 28 NE 40th St, Miami  FL  33137 • 305-573-3355 Distance: ~10.74 mi         Description: DESIGN DISTRICT. Impressively stylish Grass boasts an of-the-moment aesthetic, and its velvet-rope policy caters to an upscale crowd of locals and visitors. If you can get in – or rather "out," since Grass is entirely open-air – you'll appreciate the lounge's global decor and its fresh take on Asian fusion cuisine. In fact, food is a primary selling point, although pricy cocktails and lofty company don't hurt the cause. Reservations are absolutely required, and dress is catwalk-fashionable.

Accented with handcrafted lanterns, vibrant textiles, rich beading, tropical foliage and imported furniture, the lounge is designed to seduce – and it succeeds brilliantly. You'll quite possibly lose all sense of time and place.

The lounge has an appealing retro rec-room aesthetic – you'll think you've entered your best friend's basement circa 1975. (Think lava lamps, funky chairs and assorted board games!) Play some checkers, backgammon, or even good ole Connect Four as you enjoy a pleasant mix of music and some of the lowest drink prices around.

The skilled bartenders have gained a fair margin of fame for their magnificent martinis, and the lounge itself is reputed to be home to "Miami's Best Happy Hour." Live entertainment is featured most nights, including a few cabaret-style shows from time to time.
