South Beach Moderately Priced
My wife and I will be at the Westgate South Beach, 3611 Collins Avenue, for a week beginning on June 8. I would like your suggestions for moderately priced, local (although I'll have a car) restaurants for lunch and dinner. There is a recent thread on Cuban, so I have those recommendations but I would like seafood places or anything else you suggest.

If you like deli, and who doesn't, check out Arnie & Richie's on 41st St, and Sam's, 740 41st St, which is kosher. Old school Miami Beach. And away we go....I suggest you drive (the heat), although people do walk in the 'hood.

In what way? I have eaten at A&R probably a dozen times in the last year. Be specific, please. And I am from NY. And there are plenty of people who know deli in Ohio, as well.

TP and I disagree on this one. I am from NY too and always enjoy my brisket on rye at Arnie & Richie's. Moreover, the place is always packed with NY Deli lovers. REGARDLESS Joan Fleischman's column today (Herald) claims they have sold to Roasters N Toasters. Not familiar with them. Down goes another Deli

Well I am not from NY, but I LOVE Arnie and Richies. I love the food, but I also love the vibe. The place IS always packed with New Yorkers, which is what I want to see when I go to a deli. I also enjoy Roasters and Toasters (great coleslaw BTW) but it is just not the same. I am a very sad....

I've never particularly found that the dishware at Arnie & Richie's really detracted from my meal. It's a Jewish deli, after all, I'm not expecting fine china. But if OP is coming from NYC, it's not a place I'd bother with.
If not mentioned anywhere above, I should mention Indomania for Dutch-Indonesian food in a nice setting at pretty reasonable prices.
Also if you want to head north rather than south to South Beach, I've mapped out lots of good eats around the Normandy Island area and back across the causeway on 79th St. to the mainland.

Old school bagel with cream cheese on a white styrofoam plate with white plastic forks for breakfast. Maybe it was a Friday, or pre-Passover, or they were offended by my appearance. I don't require fine china, but disposable cups and plates were a bit too little.

Best Restaurant on South Beach (IMO): Sardinia. Tons have been posted about Sardinia. Here's one to get you started.

For me, Michael's Genuine Food and Drink is tied with Sardinia for the best/my favorite restaurant in Miami. Again, tons have been posted on Michael's. Here's one recent thread.
