ITH AN EXTENSIVE menu of salads, seafood baskets, sandwiches and desserts, this Palmetto Bay fixture has become a go-to spot for locals looking to enjoy the fresh seafood Golden Rule has always been known for. Not sure what to order? Insiders suggest the Blackened Mahi Tacos (3 flour tortillas stuffed with blackened mahi, cheddar jack cheese and cabbage slaw, drizzled with spicy mayo, and served with roasted corn salsa), Tuna Wontons (sashimi grade yellowfin tuna, piled on fried wontons, drizzled with homemade ponzu, spicy mayo & topped with seaweed salad), Buffalo Shrimp (lightly fried shrimp hand tossed in our homemade mild buffalo sauce), Lobster BLT (steamed lobster, topped with apple wood smoked bacon, crisp romaine, sliced tomato and spicy mayo on a toasted rosemary focaccia roll. Served with sweet potato fries.). Consider our mouths watering already.

ROIG ACADEMY

ETWEEN SOUTH BEACH, Brickell, South Miami, Doral and North Miami, South Floridians would be hard-pressed to find a better place to feed their Mediterranean cravings than this family-owned fast casual. Their dedication to fresh food (everything from hummus to falafel to yogurt is handmade at their restaurants) and cooked-to-order selections has made them a fast favorite for families in search of a quick and healthy meal. Enjoy a dinner out at one of their locations or grab takeout and chow down at home.

ITH A MISSION TO discover, embrace and cater to each child’s learning style, so that they can flourish and achieve academic, social and emotional success,” Roig Academy draws high marks from parents for creating a safe, fun environment for struggling students in preschool through eighth grade. A low student-to-teacher ratio (no more than ten students per class), committed director and dedication to partnering with parents to develop the whole (academic, social and emotional) student also keeps families happy and encourages and prepares students to once again be successful in a larger learning environment.

WNED BY LOCAL FITness guru Mike Singer (who also owns the franchise’s Gables location), Orangetheory Pinecrest opened in 2012 and soon reached 100 percent capacity. Drawing an eclectic crowd of young and old, the 60-minute workout is based on HIIT (or high impact interval training) theories, seeing class participants rotate through three stations (rowing, treadmill and weights) while hooked up to heart monitors that register their “zone” on large screen televisions and leave class with an email containing their workout results. Devotees love the “amazing workout” and return time and again for the “supportive and knowledgeable trainers.”

HE SOUTH MIAMI OFFICES of Drs. Phillips, Miller, Roca and Venditto provide outstanding clinical services with a major focus on patients and their family, wanting them to always feel comfortable and well cared for. Founded in 1991, the practice prides itself on a small, attentive staff, leaving pregnant patients knowing that one of two doctors (Doctors Roca or Venditto) will be on-call for delivery, while Drs. Phillips and Miller serve patients with all non-obstetric needs alongside Nurse Practitioner Katie Fitzgerald. In addition to a family atmosphere, the group is on the cutting edge, among one of only a few in South Florida offering pelvic floor therapy, and The Mona Lisa Touch.
