The South Beach institution since 1913 — a James Beard America's Classics honoree (2024) and arguably the most recognized restaurant in Miami's history. Stone crabs (October through May, the only legal harvest season), Key lime pie, the wood-paneled rooms that have hosted everyone from Truman to Sinatra to the modern Miami establishment. The wait is part of the ritual; reservations are limited; the cash-only takeout window next door is the local hack. For Miami's most enduring dining tradition, served exactly the way it's been served for over a century.
