The 25 Best Restaurants In Miami

"Itamae AO is technically an omakase. But don’t come here expecting a traditional sushi omakase. The Nikkei dishes on Itamae AO’s eight-course tasting menu are entirely unique (and not sushi). They pull at your cheeks and amygdala with tangy leche de tigres made with things like habanero, jackfruit, or ash. Slivers of squid are coiled into springs, spiny lobster is minced into tartare, and octopus terrine envelopes an olive and anchovy tapenade. If you remember the previous iteration of Itamae in the Design District, consider this an evolution. The terrazzo counter is still present, but it’s now the stage for the most unique tasting menu in Miami right now." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
