Where to Eat in Miami Without Your Kids

We love our little ones—we really do. But sometimes you just need a night where nobody’s asking for chicken fingers, spilling juice, or crawling under the table. Whether you’re out on a date, catching up with friends, or celebrating the fact that the babysitter showed up on time, these five spots were made for dinner without the kids.

Need a little serenity with your seafood? Costa Med in Key Biscayne is the epitome of polished Mediterranean dining. Start with the grilled octopus or beef carpaccio, then move on to branzino, delicious pastas, or a beautifully cooked veal chop. 

The dining room stays calm even on weekends, and the staff knows how to make you feel taken care of. It’s the kind of place where the pace slows down, and you remember what it feels like to actually enjoy a meal.

La Natural is for the night you want something chill but still a little special—somewhere you can wear sneakers with a nice outfit and still feel like you’re out on the town. The sourdough pizzas are the star of the show, featuring adventurous toppings your picky kids wouldn’t try (aka more for you). Their natural wine list leans funky and fun, perfect for sipping while you dive into a hot pie and catch up on adult conversation. No kids, no chaos—just carbs, wine, and good times.

This Argentine-inspired hideaway in Coconut Grove hits all the right notes for a no-nonsense, flavor-forward evening. The ambiance is rustic but stylish, and the menu gets straight to the point: wonderful grilled meats, craveable empanadas, and so many other items you’ll be thinking about long after your meal. 

Start with a bottle of wine, split the sweetbreads if you’re feeling generous, and get ready for one of the heartiest Milanesas in town. It’s a neighborhood gem that reminds you how nice it is to dine like an adult.

Maple and Ash

Maple and Ash is not subtle. The menu at this high-end steakhouse reads like a greatest hits list for indulgence: fire-roasted seafood towers, caviar for days, melt-in-your-mouth steaks, and a “treat yourself” attitude that’s contagious. Here, every day is an occasion; the crowd is there to celebrate something, anything. Pro Tip: Opt for the “I Don’t Give a F*@k” menu and let the kitchen handle the evening’s courses. You deserve a break. 

Maple and Ash is located at 699 NE 1st Ave, 2nd floor, Miami, FL 33132. For more information, visit their official website

Nuna isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a reason to go out again. Up on the Four Seasons rooftop, you’ll find unforgettable Nikkei flavors, standout cocktails, and skyline views that somehow make everything taste better. Think wagyu and truffle dumplings, surf and turf saltado, branzino chicharron, and other fun bites that play well into the night. Nuna reminds you why dining out should always feel a little special.

Nuna is located at 1435 Brickell Ave, Miami, FL 33131. For more information, visit their official website
