Arminda Guillama-Rodriguez: Blackberry bourbon lemonade is a great "light" cocktail (as far as bourbon cocktails go), and the shrimp n grits is excellent - chicken might be the specialty but the shrimp stole the show!
Reena Ravindran: The best waffles I've ever had and bourbon maple syrup simply rocks!
Jennifer Dama: Heavenly! We got the chicken and waffles and watermelon with a side of Mac & cheese. All a+! The cheddar waffle with bourbon maple syrup is beyond delicious.

Glenn Ebert: Once a pop-up, now a nightlife legend in South Beach. Arguably some of the best libations in all of Miami, this place is a Bourbon fueled Speakeasy where all drinks are a solid choice.
Katie Smith-Adair: Seaweed-infused tequila is as likely to be sipped as bourbon mixed with locally loved Panther Coffee.
Felipe B: Ask for a custom cocktail using bourbon and passion fruit. Trust me.

Mitchell R: The food was excellent. 32 oz. steak! But, it is like eating in a discotheque. The music was blaring loud. Not the atmosphere I was expecting and not one that Ilked

Ranu Rajkarnikar: Trendy spot. Splurge on the villa rooms next to the pool with balconies. Loved the sliding shower door. Hyde Beach is fun at night.
Travel + Leisure: The SLS is very much about drinking and spending and having boisterous dinners, but it isn't juvenile. Even Philippe Starck's interiors are fairly restrained. For more: http://tandl.me/XNIs5u
J.R. Shoman: Go for drinks on the terrace, enjoy the moonlight and music, and make certain you order the SLS's signature gin & tonic - it's out of this world.
