Thursday, April 10: Lengua Conference Dinner with Ethica Wines at La Natural

Big news: La Natural has been selected as one of the host restaurants for the 2025 Lengua Conference dinner series—and we couldn’t think of a better fit. This Little River favorite is already known for its impeccable sourdough crusts, dreamy plant-forward plates, and offbeat natural wines, but for one special night, things are getting even more exciting. 

Carolina Cossu of Ethica Wines will be curating the by-the-glass program, so expect pours that surprise, delight, and pair perfectly with everything from wild mushroom pizza to charred carrots with Aleppo honey. As always, the vibe will be effortlessly cool—warm lighting, rustic wood, and a crowd that appreciates good fermentation and even better conversation. Whether you’re a wine nerd, a pizza purist, or just here for the good energy, this is one dinner you won’t want to miss. Make your reservations beforehand.

Looking for a luxe way to kick off your night in Brickell? Marion—Miami’s glitzy, champagne-popping nightlife staple—is launching Sips O’Clock, a new late-night happy hour starting April 10. From Tuesday to Saturday, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m., walk-ins can score seriously stylish sips and bites at wallet-friendly prices (yes, you read that right).

Cocktails like the Gold Rush, El Diablo, and a classic Cosmo are all up for grabs at just $10 a pop, while wines by the glass start at $8. On the food front, expect the kind of glam bar snacks Marion does best: $5 spicy tuna crispy rice, $8 yellowtail crunchy tacos, $3.50 oysters, and $7 Wagyu sliders. Lighter bites like truffle edamame and shishito peppers round out the mix. We’ll be heading there this Friday to kick off the weekend on a good note—see you there!

Marion Miami is located at Marion Miami | 1111 SW 1st Ave Miami, FL 33130. For more information, visit their official website.

Saturday, April 12: Dinner at Carpaccio

Tucked inside the lush, high-fashion maze of Bal Harbour Shops, Carpaccio remains a classic—timeless, reliable, and effortlessly elegant. Whether you’re people-watching beneath the palms on the bustling patio or seated at a crisp white-linen table with understated elegance, dinner here feels like a warm nod to la dolce vita. 

The menu leans traditional in the best way: think crispy yet tender calamari fritti and filet mignon carpaccio laced with artichoke and parmigiano. In addition to a generous lineup of antipasti, salads, and expertly prepared meats, the menu boasts an impressive selection of pastas, available in both whole wheat and gluten-free options. The linguine Nettuno—a seafood-packed standout—is a perennial favorite among regulars. Service is brisk but polished, and the bread basket alone is worth writing home about. If you’re craving an old-school Italian dinner with a side of Miami gloss, Carpaccio is where you want to be this week. 

Carpaccio is located at 9700 Collins Ave, Bal Harbour, FL 33154. For more information, visit their official website.

Sunday, April 13: Brunch at Elia on the River

On weekends, Elia on the River transforms into a refined waterfront retreat where brunch unfolds with effortless elegance. From 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Weekend by the River invites guests to linger over thoughtfully prepared dishes and bottomless libations accompanied by the mellow sounds of live jazz. Set against the serene backdrop of the Miami River, the experience feels both indulgent and unhurried.

The menu leans into elevated brunch fare—lobster benedict layered with dijonnaise; steak and eggs with caramelized onions; and an absolutely delightful breakfast pizza with eggs and prosciutto. Bottomless cocktails, from mimosas to house spritzes, are served with quiet sophistication, encouraging long conversations and second pours. Whether dining under the soft light of the patio or in the shade of the breezy interior, guests are enveloped in an atmosphere that blends coastal charm with polished hospitality. For those seeking a more contemplative weekend ritual, Elia offers a compelling reason to stay awhile.
