Editorial Review for Blue Door – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Located in the ultra-swank Delano Hotel, this hot spot is frequented by Miami scenesters. The door isn't blue, but the food lives up to the hype, melding Florida ingredients with haute cuisine. The results yield creations like a foie gras "burger," blue crab cakes served with guacamole, slow-roasted duck with bananas and passion fruit crepe souffle.

Whenever I'm in town I always eat here for lunch & it's always a scene. Lots of tourists (it is a hotel, after all) and lots of people-watching (and believe me, these people WANT to be watched - ha). Depending on what you're in the mood for, you can choose the indoor area, which has more of a formal vibe with its high ceilings, white tablecloths and pastel-hued accents, or the fabulous outdoor patio setting, which overlooks the pool and has the cool wall of masks. Usually I order the salmon with the artfully presented Provence-style tomato (I think it's stuffed with cous-cous & topped w/parmesan). I've never made a reservation, but on the weekends, it gets pretty crazy so you might want to call ahead, especially if you have a large group.
Pros: Great views, good food, people-watching
Cons: Kind of expensive, but worth it for the scene

Two options for dining at this very upscale restaurant in the Delano Hotel on South Beach. Inside seemed very noisy. Outside on a warm Miami night overlooking the famous pool and gardens of the Hotel was wonderful. Service and food was excellent (and pricey) but worth it. It got crowded as the night went on and I think the service would be worse after 8 pm.
Pros: food and setting
Cons: Price
