South Beach for Easter Brunch Recommendations

Can anyone recommend a pretty restaurant with great atmosphere and great food? We are from Washington DC. Thanks!

    Just thought of a Dim Sum Brunch at the Catalina Hotel. Might be fun.

        thanks. I haven't been, but a friend liked it very much. Was thinking more the venue than the food. Brunches are often dreck. LMF

      I think Nemo would be a great choice. Pretty patio, excellent croissants, wide choice of food. I would be surprised if they are not sold out. You can try on Open Table.

        Bistro One LR at the Ritz South Beach is having a huge Easter brunch. You can sit outside by the pool either under the ample shade or in the sun.

        I think it's $85 per person but you probably won't be hungry the rest of the day.

          I hear Casa Toscana is now doing brunch, and Chef Sandra Stefani is preparing a special Easter Brunch. Off the beach, of course, at

          Won't hurt your wallet as much. $85 for brunch? Ouch...

              I agree-why I stated "off the beach, of course..." I've found that often tourists ask for 'South Beach' rex, thinking that all of Miami is 'South Beach'.

          I like Nikki Beach for brunch.

          You can eat at a table or stretch out on one of the beds and soak up the rays.

          Also, the food it good however every time I eat there I get sushi.
