If you’re craving something cool and intimate, Michelin star restaurant SHINGO wants you to take a seat.
Kenzie Motai: “SHINGO is a 14-seat omakase restaurant in the heart of Coral Gables.”
Every seat gets a front-row view to the unforgettable chef-led experience.
Kenzie Motai: “Omakase means chef’s choice, or I’ll leave it up to you.”
We’re talking 14 to 16 meticulously crafted courses.
Kenzie Motai: “The first dish is going to be an oyster topped with ponzu mignonette, with a smoke salmon topped with Osetra caviar.”
Diner 1: “Mmm. soo good.”
Kenzie Motai: “The second dish is going to be two different types of nigiri using wild line caught bluefin tuna.”
A meal this tasty usually costs around $275 per person, but now you can get it for $180.

Another stop on this flavor tour is a hidden gem called Arcano.
Kosme Sanchez: “It’s a Latin modern restaurant where we kind of focus on, like, soul food presented in a modern way.”
He’s not kidding when he says modern. Even their ceviche gets a remix.
Kosme Sanchez: “We did a little twist on the leche de tigre, which is kind of a classic ingredient in ceviche. We added strawberry to it, which is a super, super unique touch to it.”
For your entrée, you have to try the duck.
Kosme Sanchez: “Pato con mole which is kind of our rendition on classic duck breast. Here we took it and gave it that Latin twist. added the mole to it — mole is like a chocolate sauce — and then we added the corn purée and a perfectly seared duck breast.”
Diner 2: “It is really a great opportunity to sample and see if you like that place, and you want to become a regular.”
