The Most Fun Dinner Spots In Miami - Miami - The Infatuation

"Sporks, Pilsens, and Youtube videos of old Hector Lavoe concerts—Barra Callao has cracked the recipe for a fun weekday dinner. The combination of the restaurant’s casualness and affordability makes it perfect for a mid-week reminder that joy still exists. The ceviche is outstanding. But it’s the chef, his love of salsa music, and the counter full of friendly regulars that make it feel like stumbling into a neighborhood block party. After beer number three, you’ll be fist-bumping with Chef Anthony and exchanging phone numbers with a new friend. There are only 12 seats at the counter and Barra doesn’t take reservations. You’re pretty much guaranteed a wait for a weekend dinner. Go for lunch on a weekday if you’re short on time. If you plan on coming with a bigger group, avoid the weekend altogether and drop in on Monday." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
