More than 200 participating restaurants from over 20 neighborhoods throughout Greater Miami and Miami Beach are ready to serve you. According to David Whitaker, President & CEO of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, “Miami Spice continues to evolve through the introduction of elevated menu options with currently 19 of our MICHELIN recognized restaurants and new dining experiences from more than 35 recently opened restaurants or first-time program participants.” I had dinner at Abbale Telavivian Kitchen, Bourbon Steak, Hakkasan, Isabelle’s Grill Room & Garden, Lion & The Rambler, Patio Isola, R House Wynwood, and TUR Kitchen for this special Dining Delicious issue of Wire Magazine
Dining Delicious Miami Spice special issue. I dined at eight delicious restaurants to sample some of the many mouthwatering offerings from the eating houses participating in the 2022 Miami Spice dining program. I recommend that you try them all. One restaurant in particular stood out to me for putting the spice in Miami Spice by delivering a delectable dinner menu, vibrant atmosphere, live music and outstanding drag shows – R House Wynwood. I had a super fun night dining at R House this past Saturday and highly recommend experiencing their very unique and very Miami dining experience with live entertainment.
During the months of August and September, this year’s Miami Spice brings you prix fixe, three-course meals at some of the best Greater Miami and Miami Beach restaurants for $28 for lunch/brunch and the option of $45 or $60 for dinner – which is a new addition to the program.

I suggest visiting ilovemiamispice.com to browse through all the restaurants and their most current menu options, in order to choose your favorites.

Isabelle’s Grill Room & Garden in The Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove was named in honor of Isabella Peacock, who was one of the Grove’s earliest settlers. We had dinner in the beautiful outdoor garden terrace surrounded by over-sized planters and lush green landscaping, sitting at a natural wood table on white and taupe woven chairs with plush cushions, plus the relaxing sounds of a waterfall in the background. Our sumptuous dinner started with the Feta Bruciata with blistered tomatoes and lemon agrodolce; and the American Waygu Carpaccio with dijon truffle vinaigrette, aioli, Manchego and salt cured egg yolk. The Faroe Island Salmon with signature hash, romanesco, green pea tendrils and bell pepper crema; and Fresh Pappardelle with seasonal mushrooms, charred onion and Meyer lemon were delicious entrées. Our desserts were the Coconut Mousse with Valrhona 64% chocolate crémeux filling and vanilla sable; and the Passion Fruit Crème Brûlée with vanilla bean olive oil cake and tropical fruit.

Many Americans are fortunate to have dental coverage for their entire working life, through employer-provided benefits. When those benefits end with retirement, paying dental bills out-of-pocket can come as a shock, leading people to put off or even go without care.

Why you need dental insurance in retirement.
Even if you’ve had quality dental work in the past, you shouldn’t take your dental health for granted. In fact, your odds of having a dental problem only go up as you age.2 Treatment is expensive — especially the services people over 50 often need. Consider these national average costs of treatment ... $217 for a checkup ... $189 for a filling ... $1,219 for a crown.3 Unexpected bills like this can be a real burden, especially if you’re on a fixed income.
When comparingyou’replans ...
Medicare doesn’t pay for dental care.1 That’s right. As good as Medicare is, it was never meant to cover everything. That means if you want protection, you need to purchase individual insurance. Early detection can prevent small problems from becoming expensive ones.
The best way to prevent large dental bills is preventive care. The American Dental Association recommends checkups twice a year.

“I don’t worry” “Now that I have your dental policy, I don’t worry about going to the dentist. I love your plan — you pay what you say!” Colleen W., MO
Look for coverage that helps pay for major services. Some plans may limit the number of procedures — or pay for preventive care only. Look for coverage with no deductibles. Some plans may require you to pay hundreds out of pocket before benefits areShoppaid.for coverage with no annual maximum on cash benefits. Some plans have annual maximums of $1,000.
Simply put — without dental insurance, there may be an important gap in your healthcare coverage. Previous dental work can wear out.
