• If you are looking for a place with a modern and chic atmosphere with mouth-watering plates and strong mimosas, then Morgan’s is the place for you.

• Found in the heart of Midtown and Wynwood, Morgan’s provides perfect indoor and outdoor seating.

• For the outer terrace, the restaurant gives you access to the infamous Floridian weather. For the indoor seating, however, Morgan’s welcomes you to modern cozy atmosphere that provides various rooms and booths for larger private parties.

• As for the food, Morgan’s selection sticks more towards the modern American dishes. Their spectacular chicken and waffles, maple bacon, sticky buns, and outstanding French toast is something that you need to try at least once. One taste of these plates will ask you to come back for more.

• Birthed from the minds of the Miami Brew Bus, Kush provides a neat little brunching option that for the Wynwood community.

• While the place is small, it makes up for its hipster-style design with pop culture references and clever quotes splattered throughout the walls.

• One phenomenal benefit of Kush is the crafted beer options. Its variety gives its customers an very elusive and unique options. The service overall is quite exception. The staff is incredibly friendly and more than willing to accommodate for the people’s needs.

• As for the food, you will find excellent burger and brunch choices. The fritas and Lokal burger is something to check out. But a must-get is the alligator bites. While many people will talk about their chicken and waffles, I would suggest other places. The portion for the chicken was a bit small for my taste, but overall enjoyable experience.

M I C H A E L’ S G E N U I N E F O O D A N D D R I N K• If you are looking to an excursion with taste,

artistry, and fine dining, then Michael’s Genuine is the place for you. All I can say are positive things about this restaurant.

• The food is absolutely stunning, both presentation and flavor. No matter what dish you order, you are always guaranteed to be surprised with its local and seasonal ingredients, handcrafted presentations, and one of a kind dishes.

• The service is phenomenal. But what makes this place incredibly memorable is the overall atmosphere and décor of everything.

• This is a place that cares much for its aesthetics and quality. But with that said, it does come with a price. The price is simply the price for the meal. Just know, you are definitely getting what you are paying for.
