Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Lighthouse Point

I've been eating at Michael's regularly for over a decade. The food is consistently excellent--creative and inspired. It is one of the few places in Miami where you can reliably get good service. Finally, outdoors is quiet--meaning you can have a conversation without straining to hear. I'm not even sure they play background music. Michael's is a gem! Prices, however, have gone up quite dramatically in the last 2 or so yrs. But they're inflated everywhere around town. In short, meal is not cheap, but you will enjoy yourself very much.

Our waiter Peri was awesome. The brunch allowed us to try many items & most were delicious- only two items that were not up to par were the turkey sausage (which was rubbery) & the crab begnuets which such be called crab hush puppies & were not very crabby

Absolutely loved Makoto. It was our first time since they moved their location up to Level 3 of the Bal Harbour Shops. Super lovely, energetic, and the interior was gorgeous. We started off with the crispy brussels sprouts, which were so delicious that we put in another order. The truffle salmon was one of the best dishes I’ve ever eaten — it melted in my mouth and they did not skimp on the truffle. The dynamite hand rolls were out of this world, warm and flavorful. The spicy tuna crispy rice had the perfect crunch. Side note: if you like sweet cocktails, get the usagi — the passionfruit notes shined through in this dessert of a drink. The chilled house sake we got was also divine. The rolls were fresh — we ordered the caterpillar roll, the spicy yellowtail roll, rainbow roll, and snow crab maki. My favorites were the snow crab maki and the rainbow roll. We ordered miso seabass and wagyu fried rice for the mains — the miso seabass melted in my mouth, and I loved the mix of citrus and sweet flavors that came through in this dish. When we got to the wagyu fried rice, I was already stuffed, but it was delicious with the egg mixed in. We finished the meal off with the toban yaki, one of the most unique desserts I’ve ever had. It was a cross between a crumble and a sorbet dessert — the flavors were incredible. The service was amazing and we loved our server Helena. 10/10 experience at Makoto and can’t wait to come back!

Creative Japanese unlike anything you’ve eaten before. Delicious food. Must try the Mac n Cheese and the Miso Caesar. The donuts for dessert are outstanding.

Christmas Eve Dinner Menu, quite extraordinary! Foie gras, Bouillabaisse and the the richest Chocolate decadence. Candlelight, champagne served by charming professionals that inauspiciously transports diners to their favorite arrondissement.
