The farm-to-table menu draws you in, offering tantalizing dishes such as herb-infused steamed local snapper "In a Bag" and grilled wild salmon with basil mashed hearts of palm. Beef is a favorite, and the 16-ounce aged oak grilled "Super Steak" has been named the nation's number one steak by "Wine Spectator." Speaking of wines, the cellar houses an enormous collection �" more than 80,000 bottles of various vintages. Also, the Enomatic wine serving system, that serves wine by the glass, is great for sampling different wines by the ounce.

EXPERT TIPS BY: Priscilla Blossom
Miami Local Expert

Romantic Dining, Steakhouses: "Take advantage of the Enomatic wine machines, allowing you to sample various wines by the glass. However, be aware that price range per glass can cost anywhere from $7.20 up to $102, so make sure you know how much you're willing to spend before the pour."

Best for Romantic Dining Because: If you (or your date) enjoy a lavish, luxurious ambiance, and absolutely love wine, The Forge is the perfect spot for your romantic night out.
Best for Steakhouses Because: Their menu ranges from a $30 red wine braised short rib to an $120 40oz dry aged prime tomahawk chop for two you'll flip for.
