3 Nights in Aventura---Dinner Suggestions?

[hungryfellow]

I'm going to the Fairmont Turnberry Isle (in Aventura, north of Miami) for 3 nights and I'm not sure where to eat. My wife and I would probably like one night to be a great steak dinner (price doesn't matter for this one), and the other nights to be maybe italian and sushi (medium priced, gotta make up for the expensive steak). I'm also open to suggestions for anything in the area.

Thanks.

Oishi Thai- good sushi for a good price

I whole heartily agree with Frodnesor's 3 choices.

[Frodnesor]

1. Michael Mina's Bourbon Steak for a great steak dinner.

2. Timo for Italian (-esque) - not traditional red-sauce Italian by any means, but definitely Mediterranean-influenced with several pizzas and pastas on the menu (check sample menu online and make sure it's your speed) ->

3. If you're willing to branch out from typical sushi to do Japanese tapas-style izakaya, Hiro's Yakko-San.

They do not have nigiri or maki, but they do sashimi (and an extensive menu of Japanese cooked dishes).

Bourbon Steak @ the Fairmont is very good. Haven't had it yet, but I've seen dozens of the Lobster Pot Pie served. The sides are a little weak ... it is pricey and a little salty ... but over all a nice evening. There is also a Morton's a couple of miles down the road, Houston's for casual dining, and a PF Changs. If you make it to Hollywood - 3-5 miles north, go to Lola's on Harrison or Fulvio's ... GREAT food and then you can walk around the downtown Hollywood area -- music/ coffee shops, etc. Have fun!!

Bourbon Steak -at Turnberry around the Circle right near the mall
Thai House II for Sushi- on 163rd
Oishi Thai(really fresh sushi)- on Biscayne in shopping center with Pauls and Coldstones but Thai House has better prices..Great Miso Cod here though
Ragazzi for Italian -but its located in Sunny Isles
Timo also for Italian located on Sunny Isles(across from Il Mulino)
Il Mulino for Italian -on Collins also considered Sunny Isles (I think)

I'm just going to reiterate prior recs that I agree with.

Mina's Bourbon Steak
Timo
Yakko San
Oishi-Thai for sushi and spicy black cod miso. It should be noted that Oishi is not inexpensive.
Wild Card- Chef Allen's. I've heard postive things about the recent renovation and menu change, I have a rez there in the very very near future and will post back

Hit CA's for first time since menu update and was underwhelmed. As a CA fan I was looking forward to my visit but was disappointed. I'll post more under a CA thread.
