Barton G. The Restaurant
Set on the quieter west side of South Beach, Barton G.—named after its owner, one of Miami’s most famous, over-the-top event-planners—is a place where presentation is paramount and made for social media posts. A popcorn-shrimp appetizer is served on a plateful of, yes, popcorn and stuffed into an actual popcorn box. Samurai Salmon comes with an actual, full-sized Samurai sword. Desserts are equally outrageous. Take the Marie Antoinette, for example: a giant pink plume of cotton candy reminiscent of a drag diva’s wig served on a mannequin head. Cocktails smoke, simmer, and glow. This is pure culinary theatrics where the food is secondary to the show, but that also makes it an ideal special occasion spot, and great for kids. The elegant, orchid-laden indoor dining room is popular with members of the socialite set, for whom Barton G. has done many an affair, while the bar area and outdoor garden is the place to be for younger trend seekers.
