Where to have New Year’s Eve dinner in Miami

Among our fave Miami restaurants, Zitz Sum will serve a special tasting menu for $125 per person, with $60 more for the wine supplement. The list of dishes from chef Pablo Zitzmann is long and full of ingredients we’ve never heard of—one of the things that makes this place so special—but includes a Hokkaido scallop with black truffle, a foie gras and grape tart, aged duck and a chocolate tart with mamey. Seatings run from 5 to 9:30pm, and with only 40 total seats, you'll want to get on this one quick. 

Coconut Grove’s new Iberian fine-dining spot Sereia will start the night with a six o’clock four-course meal for $250. Or opt for the 9:30 seating, which features a five-course, $350 dinner. Both include live music, but the late-night crowd toasts at midnight with vintage port. On tap for both seatings: a seafood extravaganza with Regiis Ova caviar and a Snake River Farms surf and turf.

The 1920s-inspired supper club Delilah Miami will offer a prix-fixe menu. While details are still to come, Delilah’s patio on Biscayne Bay will serve as a fine spot to watch fireworks.

Chef Aitor Garate Berasaluze’s North Miami cafe is like a trip to the Basque Region, and this New Year’s Eve that one-night vacation will be priced at $165 per person, with an optional wine pairing for $80.

This beautifully appointed spot on Biscayne Bay will offer a special three-course menu during two seatings, at 6 and 9pm, priced at $95 for the early birds and $195 for the party crowd. Choose from dishes like little neck clams with caviar, Sardinian gnocchetti and hazelnut tartufo. There will also be baller-level add-ons, like the seafood platter and a dry-aged tomahawk paired with crab legs that go for $495 each.

Brickell’s clubstaurant full of lifesize glass fish sculptures will be a disco-under-the-sea theme for New Year’s. Dancers and acrobats will join DJ Pablo Fierro as the night’s entertainment. Seatings before 9pm cost $149, and the bill jumps to $350 after that as the menu expands to include more courses before the dancing begins.

End 2024 with a $200 dinner at 5:30pm or a $350 option that starts at 8:30pm. Both will include a dinner blending Japanese and Peruvian flavors, but the later one gets the addition of a balloon drop and midnight Dom Pérignon toast.

A special NYE menu will include items like bucatini with peekytoe crab and sea urchin, a wagyu strip steak and a Coffee-Cointreau Crème Brulee. Afterward, head up to The Betsy Hotel’s rooftop to watch the fireworks in nearby Lummus Park. 

Expect live entertainment and a quintessential beachside club atmosphere during Nikki Beach’s Midnight Mirrorball. The night starts at 8 with dinner and rolls right into a party that leads up to a fireworks display at midnight. 

Coconut Grove’s semi-hidden omakase counter will be serving up a 17-course experience that’ll see visits from truffles and caviar and all the sushi fixings you expect to ring in the New Year. There will be three seatings, starting from early bird at 5, then 7:15 and 9:30pm.

Chef Michael Mina’s steakhouse at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa will serve a three-course dinner, with a $260 seating at 5:30 and a $350 seating at 7:30pm. The later seating comes paired with a DJ and champagne at midnight.
