"Claudie is a big French restaurant that’s perfect for a night of peacocking and steak au poivre. The Brickell spot is living proof of how electric a see-and-be-seen spot can be when done right. Book a reservation for around 7:30pm to catch the roving musicians who go from table to table taking requests. If you’re just stopping by for drinks after work, the central bar is great for eavesdropping on venture capitalists spilling company secrets after their third martini. The restaurant might not transport us to the South of France like it claims, but it does make Brickell feel romantic—an arguably more impressive trick." - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
