Hip and delicious kosher?!

I will be in Miami on a "girls getaway". My friend is kosher (I am not). I want to make sure we get to some really fun places, as she will be on break from 4 kids. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The only other thing that I can think of is seeing if I could persuade a regular place to cater-in a kosher airplane style meal.

Thanks in advance.

    In Miami you've got a few options that are a notch above falafel joints.

    There's Rare Steakhouse on 41st Street in Miami Beach - nice steaks and sides, great mini-burgers. Owner is a former nightlife guy so there's effort made to give the place a refined atmosphere.

    And up near Bal Harbour there's Cine Citta Cafe, a mod Italian place with pizzas, pastas and fish. The same owners recently opened Cine Citta Grill a few doors down which is also a steaks place (haven't eaten there so can't vouch for it but I glanced at the menu and it's a bit pricey).

      We went to Rare for Thanksgiving and it was atrocious. The steak was 1/2 fat, half of the steaks were ordered medium and cooked beyond well done and my mothers turkey was microwaved after it was brought out ice cold.

        there are many many restaurants in miami, but like smartie said, the best think to do would be to post this on the kosher board, i guarantee, youll have a bunch of recs within 24 hours

            There is a Kosher Sushi place, I forgot the name, but the food was great on A1A south of Commercial on the east side. I was skeptical at first but it was delicious.

      I suggest you post this on the Kosher board.
