At Vista Miami, seafood and vegetables are the stars of the show. Inside this two-story eatery, guests will find a diverse menu with Mediterranean influences galore. Portions are large and designed for sharing. Hearty, delectable selections, like Fisherman’s Crudo with mango salad and Zucchini Flowers will have you fighting over the last piece. Even lighter selections like the Beet Salad are sizeable enough to double as a full meal—leftovers are not uncommon.
Mains run the gamut from Branzino and Seared Scallops to Maltagliati, Wagyu Bavette, and the ever-popular Vista Burger. Wash everything down with a bourbon-based Stone Sour or another stiff drink from the creative cocktail list. Once dinner is done, head up to the restaurant’s rooftop for more libations and some mingling; the bar offers a distinct view of Upper Buena Vista.
Word of advice: Bring friends along for the experience. Vista Miami’s extensive menu is best enjoyed with a group, as there’s just so much to consider!
