Celebrity chef Govind Armstrong provides us with a good reason to visit the otherwise touristy Ocean Drive with the outpost of his LA-based hot spot Table 8, in the Vincci South Beach Hotel. The California cuisine includes tasty dishes such as prosciutto-wrapped grouper with roasted asparagus, melted tomatoes, and olives; and succulent grilled Kobe-style beef with heirloom tomatoes, wild arugula, red onion, and Parmesan. Dine outside in the covered dining area, where you'll find comfy banquettes and a light bar menu of tasty bites. (The fried olives stuffed with chorizo and the grilled- cheese sandwiches with pulled short rib are to-die-for.)
