Review: Sunny's might be my favorite restaurant in Miami
Sunny's has been called one of the best new eateries in the world, so I had to see what all the hype was about.
The big picture: Originally a pandemic pop-up, Sunny's reopened last fall with an expanded menu and permanent location just north of Little Haiti.
The owners previously co-owned Jaguar Sun before closing it to focus on Sunny's.
It has quickly become one of Miami's most acclaimed restaurants and is recommended by the Michelin Guide, though it hasn't earned a star yet.
State of plate: We started with the tuna tartare and wagyu carpaccio ($24 each).
The acidity and crunch of the lime-flavored tartare pair well with the savory creaminess of the wagyu.
The Parker House Rolls ($6 for two) — one of several carryovers from Jaguar Sun — are a must-order.
🤲 Pro tip: Bring a friend or loved one and split everything.
⭐️ Most valuable plate: The $39 hanger steak is one of the best steaks I've ever eaten.
🔥 Hot take: You are encouraged to order different steak sauces (we went with the $6 peppercorn sauce), but I think the meat is better by itself.
We paired that with the russet potatoes ($14), which are cooked in chicken fat for a nice flavor boost.
For dessert, order the chocolate cake ($16), which tastes like a chocolatey tiramisu.
💸 By the numbers: An anniversary dinner for two cost me less than $200 before tip, a reasonable price for a special occasion.
🎶 The vibes: Sophisticated but laid back. Perfect for celebrations.
The playlist runs the gamut from Talking Heads to 50 Cent.
If it's nice outside, eat in the verdant courtyard.
If you go: 7357 NW Miami Ct.
