I've received great recs for dinner at the W hotel, but what about for lunch? Where's a good spot? I'd like to make a reservation for this Saturday. Thank you in advance!

Smith and Wollensky has a good view, its not in a hotel though. Fri Oct 09 14:09:29 -0700 2009 5090080 113011 Sobe4u 2 5099043 Does Smith and Wollensky still do the Dim Sum Brunch?

Oddly, finding restaurants with a view in South Beach is perversely difficult. Even the places on Ocean Drive generally have the restaurants in the ground floor where the view is primarily of the street. www.foodforthoughtmiami.com Wed Oct 14 20:44:07 -0700 2009 5090080 35525 Frodnesor 2 5104986 I second the DiLido Beach Club. Hands down. Great food, fabulous (and rare, sadly) ocean views. I could sit there all day and have! Thu Oct 15 07:48:00 -0700 2009 5104215 108629 HabaneroJane
