Worked for many years on Miami Beach
South Beach is interesting, but maybe not romantic if you know what I mean, and certainly not quiet. Restaurants change hands often both in Miami and on Miami Beach. Whoo hoo and sometimes blinders for nudity in South Beach, blush, however, the galleries and shops are very interesting. I'd be apt to suggest you try something on the water in Coconut Grove. Do a search of restaurants in the Grove and see what you can find with great ratings. Also,
some of the biggest art fairs occur at this time and both Miami, the Grove, and Lauderdale get very busy. If you are up for a ride to the Fort Lauderdale area, check restaurants on Las Olas Blvd., or, The Sea Watch in Lauderdale By the Sea is great beachside dining. The larger restaurants generally take reservations only for Thanksgiving...it can get crowded in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale restaurants for Thx. For a longer trip, my favorite is Mangione's in Boca Raton, almost in the Boca Mall, especially on nights with their piano bar. Great Spanish/Cuban food in some of the Coral Gables restaurants...and some neat dining options there along with shopping boutiques. Have fun...oops, for a minute I'm homesick!
