Lido at The Surf Club Miami

Lido at The Surf Club sits on Collins Avenue in Surfside. It holds a 2024 Wine Spectator Excellence Award and four stars from the 2024 Forbes Travel Guide. You can reach the venue with a five-minute walk from Surfside Beach.

The room runs smart and elegant, but the real draw is the contrast between the historic architecture and the contemporary Italian and seafood menu. Many nearby options in Bal Harbour rely on the draw of the shops, yet Lido keeps its focus on the coastal atmosphere without feeling like a tourist stop. It is a better choice than the restaurants clustered closer to the retail centers, where the noise of the crowd often overrides the experience. You go here for the pacing of the dining room rather than the proximity to the surrounding parks.
