Best Date Night Restaurants in South Miami Heights

The tree covered in fairy lights in the middle of the courtyard created the perfect ambiance for a romantic Valentine’s day dinner. The food was really good and the crab ravioli was to die for. My partner and I will definitely be coming back!

Doya – A Must-Try for Greek & Turkish-Inspired Meze Recently dined at Doya, a fantastic spot that blends Greek and Turkish flavors with a menu designed for sharing. The restaurant specializes in both cold and hot meze, making it perfect for a communal dining experience. For cold meze, I highly recommend the traditional fava bean spread, eggplant (babaganoush), green goddess dip (similar to tzatziki), and shrimp carpaccio—all fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Among the hot meze, we tried the rib steak over the wood-fired grill, which, while cooked well, needed a bit more seasoning. However, the grilled Dorado fish was outstanding—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We rarely order dessert, but the chocolate mousse with cherries was a standout and an absolute must-try. Service at Doya is team-oriented, delightful, and impressively quick. The food comes out fast, making for a seamless dining experience without feeling rushed. Overall, Doya delivers a wonderful dining experience, with a well-executed menu, great service, and a lively atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore high-quality Mediterranean flavors in a shareable format.

The food was outstanding and the asian night bazaar performers were truly mesmerizing. Our server was kind and very helpful. I would recomend this to everyone. Its a must in Miami

It was a Miami scene. Energetic. Fun. Drinks were inventive. Great wine list. Interesting bites and main courses. Bluefish with truffles. Waygu with caviar. Carrots with pistachio. Branzino with artichoke hearts. Yummy. Pricey.

We truly enjoy going to Portofino. They have truly improved in their service. The waiters and assistants were very attentive. We always enjoy the lasagna and the soups. The only complaint that I have is that the salads seem to be getting small and small portions, unfortunately. for the price I feel that they should be a little more generous. Otherwise it was a great night out with the family.
