Fodor's Expert Review Bin No.18

Pop into this bistro and wine bar before or after a show at the nearby Adrienne Arsht Center, or simply while the evening away here. The setting masterfully fuses style with charm: wine barrels double as table bases, intimate and communal seating blend, a bar reveals an open kitchen, and chandeliers add a hint of luxe. The menu provides a good mix of seafood and meat, to share or not, but the real highlight is the wine list. Owner-chef Alfredo Patino handpicks from boutique wineries, finding gems from the most famed regions to remote locations around the globe.

The best time to explore new varietals is Tuesday, when all bottles under $50 are half price.
