Wednesday, October 8: Argentine Comfort Food at Loretta and the Butcher

When the craving for comfort hits this week, skip the usual suspects and head to Coconut Grove’s Loretta and the Butcher—a cozy neighborhood gem that’s always on our roster. This spot turns simplicity into soul food: juicy cuts kissed by the grill, crispy milanesa, and the kind of empanadas that feel like a hug.

Our order this week? The mushroom and asparagus risotto is a local legend, while the mollejas grilladas are simply a must for every meal. When in doubt, the milanesa napolitana never fails: thin, crispy beef smothered in tomato sauce and melted burrata cheese—there for it. Pair it with a glass of Malbec, sink into the glow of the warm, wood-lined dining room, and finish with silky flan. For a taste of Buenos Aires comfort in Miami, Loretta delivers warmth, flavor, and that ‘stay a while’ kind of charm.

Thursday, October 9: New Omakase Experience at Omawei

Miami welcomes an intimate culinary journey as Chef Wei Chen brings his exploratory omakase concept, Omawei, to The Bath Club—and yup, we’re oh so there. Blending years of Edomae training under sushi master Daisuke Nakazawa with his own creative vision, Chef Chen curates a sixteen-course tasting menu that begins with introductory dishes infused with traditional Japanese flavors and flows into seasonal nigiri crafted from the freshest ingredients. Each bite is a harmony of texture, tradition, and surprise, paired thoughtfully with sake and wine to elevate the experience.

Set in the elegant, historic Bath Club, the evening’s soft lighting, ocean breeze, and quiet glamour create a perfect backdrop for this refined culinary adventure. With just ten seats per night and two seatings at 7:00 and 9:30 p.m., Omawei is an exclusive opportunity for diners seeking precision, artistry, and unforgettable flavor. Reservations are available on OpenTable; book early to secure your spot. 

The Bath Club is located at 5937 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33140. For more information, visit their official website. 

Friday, October 10: Date Night at Costa Med

If your week has been chaotic and you need something slower and softer—make it Costa Med. Hidden in Key Biscayne, this Mediterranean spot is small, romantic, and quietly confident, the kind of place where the food speaks for itself. Start with the burrata and prosciutto or the Black Angus filet mignon tartar, best shared over a deep glass of red.

The Greek-style branzino is the move for two—perfectly tender, butterflied in-house—or go all in with their creamy lobster ravioli if you’re in the mood for comfort. Dessert? Always. The crème brûlée never misses. It’s the kind of dinner where time stretches, conversation lingers, and the city feels far away. A reminder that date night doesn’t need flash—just good wine, good company, and the quiet enchantment of Costa Med.

Sunday, October 12: Butter, Beach, and the Lobster Shack 

We’re keeping things simple this Sunday—sun, sand, and a lobster roll or two at The Lobster Shack. After a week of deadlines and humidity, there’s nothing more satisfying than grabbing a seat at one of their South Beach spots, rolling up your sleeves, and diving into something buttery.

The Naked Roll is the move—warm lobster tossed in melted butter, tucked into a toasted bun that somehow never gets soggy. If you’re going with friends, get the lobster mac and cheese for the table (trust us), a dozen oysters or two, and a round of cold beer to seal the deal. It’s not fancy, it’s not fussy—just right for a weekend reset.
