"Claudie is a French restaurant that warrants an appropriately excessive (and expensive) night out. Their gorgeous patio has a retractable awning that opens up to a Brickell you never knew could look this beautiful. It’s got a giant limestone fountain in the middle, a bar intended for gossiping, and at about 8pm, charming musicians roam from table to table, taking requests. We’d brave Brickell Avenue traffic to watch the sun set behind gleaming skyscrapers from one of the tables scattered around the fountain. It’s the only sceney Brickell spot we feel that way about." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
