The Restaurant at the Setai South Beach - setai.com/dining/therestaurant

Miami is a city known for luxury and, as such, boasts more than a few classy 5-star hotels. However, there’s class and there’s high-class, and sometimes it can be difficult to know the difference from the outside. Make no mistake about it, though, because The Setai is high-class; in fact, it sets the bar for high-class. Its architecture and interior decor, highly professional multilingual staff, wide assortment of amenities, breathtaking views of crystal blue surf and sugar-white beaches, and even its location next to Miami Beach’s top hotspots have all been meticulously planned so that you can experience true luxury during your stay in Miami, Florida.

Despite being within walking distance of several of the best clubs in Miami Beach, The Setai oceanfront resort was designed from the ground up to truly withdraw you from the surrounding city life. Every aspect of The Setai exists to pamper you and relax you, all in a beautiful Asian-influenced setting.

Within The Setai’s parameters you will find three different pools, complete with temperature control, and an open ocean view, food and drink service including a poolside bar, magazines and even iPods. You’ll also find a casual lunch at the grill or something a little classier at The Restaurant…And yes, that’s actually what the hotel’s restaurant is called. Other amenities include a full service spa, a massage room, child care, currency exchange, a health club (complete with state-of-the-art equipment), a steam room and sauna, 24/7 security and more.

Whether you’re looking to give that special someone a unique gift for you’re anniversary, or you’re an out-of-town traveler looking for a tranquil place to lay your head and enjoy Miami, The Setai 5 star resort deserves a call.

Why has Prime 112 (pronounced Prime One Twelve) become a Miami Beach hotspot for upscale dining? Probably because this popular steakhouse has some of the best meat in Miami, and there is nothing better than cutting into a succulent, melt-in-your-mouth filet mignon and knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that you’re about to experience a savory bite of bliss. Throw in an exquisite array of sides such as truffled lobster mac & cheese, sweet potato-vanilla bean mash, and rum baked plantains and you’ve got some of the best cuisine in the city.

Of course, there are plenty of delectable options for the herbivores out there who choose to abstain from meat. Looking for something exotic? Why not try the Arugula Salad, made with goat cheese, roasted beets and balsamic vinegar. Perhaps something more typical? The Signature Salad is mighty hard to beat with cucumber, celery, grape tomatoes, asparagus, Romain, spinach and a complementary dressing; just ask them to hold the bacon which normally comes with it. Lacto-Ovo vegetarians can enjoy a delicious appetizer in the form of deviled eggs with white truffle and caviar.

There is a reason that Prime 112 has it become explosively popular over the past couple years, and that is because of it’s consistently high quality and unique cuisine coupled with courteous and professional service in an environment well-suited for clients, couples and friends alike. Next time you’re going out for dinner and wondering what sounds good, look no further than Prime 112.
