What a difference a new chef can make! When we last tried The Spillover a few years back, it was … fine. The food was okay, but we expected more from the team behind faves like Lokal and Kush. As a result, we kinda avoided the place for a while – until now. With Chef Juan Borjas now at the helm, The Spillover is giving us several delicious excuses to visit Coconut Grove.

Lure Fishbar: An Unexpected Miami Spice Delight
When we do Miami Spice, we do our research and scour menus for the best values. But if Lure Fishbar has taught us anything, it’s not to judge a book by its cover. On paper, the Miami Spice offerings at Lure seemed like your standard fare. We were so wrong.
RED, the Steakhouse: An Impressive Miami Spice Feast
When it comes to Miami Spice, the menu at Red, the Steakhouse South Beach pulls no punches. Chef Peter Vauthy and his team rotate the Spice menu regularly to keep guests on their toes. Through September 30, diners can expect a unique experience during each visit to the steakhouse.

La Camaronera: A Fried Food Paradise
Before walking into La Camaronera Seafood Joint and Fish Market, you need to remember two things. The first: Bring cash. The place does not accept credit cards. The second thing: Don’t tell your cardiologist. This casual eatery is known for its fried … everything.
People love the place — it’s been around for decades. But despite being around for so long, it was just recently that we visited La Camaronera for the first time. It certainly won’t be the last time.
