Cosmopolitan:
Though it meanders, the menu is well executed by Chef Steven Levine's kitchen team. Appetizers feature perfect corn chowder with crab dumplings, and intriguing phyllo-wrapped shrimp with pickled beets. The seafood-heavy entree menu includes can't-miss seared yellow fin tuna with a red wine sauce and mashed potatoes. A dessert as good as Mrs. Levine's chocolate cookies with vanilla ice cream leaves you strolling through quiet South Beach feeling just the way cosmopolitans should.

Shanghai 1930:
This restaurant features the best Chinese food in the most sophisticated surroundings. Diner enter on Steuart and walk down a flight of stairs to a stylish, back-lit bar and an inviting dining room beyond. With its low lighting, terra-cotta floor and Oriental rugs, it’s designed to evoke the look of Shanghai in the 1930s. The live jazz nightly and dance floor in the bar makes it a prime spot for romance. It’s also one of the few Chinese restaurants with well-made cocktails and a pleasing wine list.
