hough one might assume the affluent and influential circles of Miami might prefer to dine within their hotel investments, it is impossible to get any work done when conducting business amid the party scene (never mind the annoying tourists!).

This is precisely why Coconut Grove's Cielo Garden enjoys patronage from the business owners in Miami that enjoy fine dining on Latin American cuisine, the occasional Cohiba from the resto’s cigar lockers, and a glass of premium vintage vino. The outdoor garden steers clear of the neon lights of SoBe with and instead employs a design aesthetic that’s anything but Art Deco (finally!). Hang with Miami’s movers and shakers but be prepared for the extraordinary bill to follow. -E.J.
