DECK AT ISLAND GARDENS – Mediterranean
Out on Watson Island, past the mega-yacht slips, The Deck at Island Gardens puts Biscayne Bay and the downtown Miami skyline directly across the table. The cooking is coastal Mediterranean and it takes itself seriously: charcoal-grilled octopus with Taggiasca olives and salmoriglio, ahi tuna tartare, burrata under pomegranate marmalade, Aegean spreads of eggplant marmalade, hummus and labneh. Brick-oven pizzas run from margherita to truffle and pear. Mains hold roasted branzino, lobster frites, grilled lamb chops, spaghetti with Maine lobster. There is a raw bar and towers of shellfish. Weekends bring brunch and long afternoons; cabanas and tables both book ahead.
