Stubborn Seed

Helmed by Top Chef winner Jeremy Ford, Stubborn Seed is one of Miami Beach’s most imaginative restaurants, serving artful cuisine in an industrial-chic dining room defined by dark wood furnishings and graffiti-style artwork. Patrons here can opt for à la carte items, like butter poached lobster with green curry, caramelized cauliflower and crispy garlic, or the chef’s tasting menu, which proffers a rotation of creative American courses. Don’t skip the cocktails, which are crafted with as much precision as the dishes.
