Michael's Genuine Food & Drink Restaurant Review

Michael's Genuine Food & Drink stands out in Miami as a great neighborhood restaurant, serving budget-friendly fare that’s mostly simple, and simply topnotch. This is exactly what chef-owner Michael Schwartz intended and exactly what the city needed. Dishes, which depend on seasonal (and preferably regional) ingredients, precision preparation and solid creativity, come in varied sizes ranging...

Don't go to Michael's Genuine Food & Drink expecting South Beach glamour and cuisine that's cutting edge or even particularly complex. Rather, the place is exactly what chef-owner Michael Schwartz intended and exactly what Miami needs: a… Read More

The name of this "trendy" Design District "hot spot" is "a statement of intent that they deliver on" via chef-owner Michael Schwartz's "ambitious" yet "down-to-earth" small, medium and large plates of locally sourced New American "comfort" food, backed by "inspired" treats from "genius" pastry chef Hedy Goldsmith and a "well-considered" wine list; staffers can seem "a touch snooty" at times but...

The latest spot from chef Michael Schwartz—of Nemo fame—is this industrial-chic indoor-outdoor space with a raw-concrete floor and simple dark-wood fixtures. Schwartz's signature focus on fresh and locally grown food is in place, and the zingy modern American menu includes meant-to-be-shared standouts such as a mouth-puckeringly spicy beef with chile salad and wood-roasted black grouper. On a...

This is the new neighborhood spot of choice, the one that's been winning all the raves this year. Owner/Chef Michael Schwartz has guided some of the Toniest kitchens in town, and his own place—classy, but a lot more down-to-earth—is another achievement, with damn near everything from gourmet falafel appetizers to duck confit to giant prawns to wood-roasted Berskhire pork to fresh wood-roasted...

We had some great inventive cocktails with large square ice cubes in one and a spring of rosemary in another. We sat at the bar by the oyster chef who was very friendly. Cute staff and Bartender was fun with astropop shirt. The fried pig...

We had Sunday brunch. The food we ordered was tapas/small plates style, so we ordered several different things. There were three of us, two who are picky eaters, yet we all enjoyed every dish. The monkey bread, house made bacon, french toast - yum! I...

I went here with a couple of friends. We kind of stumbled to this restaurant as we were in the area. It was good. The service was good but the atmosphere was busy and loud.
We ended up sharing everything to be able to try...

Tips about this business (6) view all

Where to Sit: The main dining room is lively and the outdoor seating is romantic. Want something in between? Ask to sit in the gallery, a quieter indoor room with eight tables.

Save Money: Valet is available for $10, but you may find metered parking on 40th Street -- and especially 39th Street -- for just $1 an hour.

When to Go: Arrive early for a weekday dinner, as Happy Hour serves up drink specials until 6:30pm.
