Mandolin Aegean Bistro | Miami | Shrtlst. Travel Guide

A Miami favorite through and through, this is great for a couples weekend because it's a lovely and romantic spot that everyone simply has to try! Celebrities often mention Mandolin as their favorite restaurant in the city. Start with a Greek or Turkish sampler, and continue with the Sea Bass and cocktails! Outside seating is available, but I prefer the ambiance indoors. Reservations are recommended, and there is some street parking available, but it can be difficult if you are short on time. There is valet around the corner for $10. 

Start your day off with an early lunch here. Reservations should always be made in advance; these are some of the most sought-after reservations. Order the Greek sampler platter, the whole sea bass, and a pitcher of if the Aegean white sangria for the table…. or just yourself! Request to sit outdoors. I would say this is a must even if you must wait for a different table. It's just a 5-minute walk to shopping in the design district.
