Whether it’s fabulous themed restaurants or more classic spots for dinner shows, you’ll find ample opportunities around Miami to enjoy a meal as musicians, singers, fire dancers and more light up the night and twirl through the dining room. Here’s our guide to the best restaurants for dinner and a show in Miami.
