"Chef Michael Solomonov has long compared Miami to Tel Aviv due to their shared climate, beauty, and energy. At Aviv, Solomonov proves his theory with dishes that work amazingly well for the Miami lifestyle. If you’ve missed Solomonov’s hummus from his much-missed Wynwood hummusiya, Dizengoff, you’ll rejoice in finding it on Aviv’s menu, served with freshly made saluf, a Yemenite flatbread. The menu offers a good selection of shareable mezze like smoked sweet potato, fried cauliflower, and warm dates stuffed with goat cheese. Mains offered include wood-fired meats and fish, and vegans have several choices, including a mushroom shislik (shish kebab)." - Laine Doss
