The Omakase Spectrum: From $5 to $400, Miami Has Every Level

Miami's omakase and tasting menu scene has matured into something that covers every price point from $5 to $400. The city that was once defined by its $$$$ rooms now has a complete price ladder — from a $5 handroll at happy hour to a $400 omakase in Coral Gables. Here is the full spectrum, mapped.

Miss Crispy Rice in Coral Gables runs a $5 handroll happy hour Monday through Friday, 3–6pm. The restaurant has a 4.8 rating across 1,400 reviews — the highest-rated restaurant in the Resy Credit dataset. At $5 per handroll during happy hour, it is also the most democratic entry point in the Miami omakase scene. The Coral Gables location is the only one.

SottoVoce in Edgewater runs a $48 wine tasting on November 11 featuring Piaggia Tuscany — five wines plus charcuterie, 50 spots, speakeasy entrance behind Enriqueta's. Five wines from a serious Tuscan estate plus charcuterie for $48 is the best value in the tasting format dataset.

AVIV in Miami Beach runs a hummus making class on November 19 at $75 per person. AVIV is the Israeli kitchen with a 4.7 rating across 1,300 reviews. The hummus class is the most hands-on format in the spectrum — a cooking experience rather than a tasting, at a price point that sits between the wine tasting and the pasta omakase.

Macchialina on Alton Road runs its Pasta Omakase every Wednesday through December 30 at $108 per person. James Beard Semi-Finalist chef. Michelin Guide Florida 2025 Sommelier Award winner. 13,000 Resy reviews. The most consistent high-end recurring dining event in Miami. At $108, it is the best value in the fine dining omakase format — more focused than a tasting menu, more serious than a prix fixe.

Miss Crispy Rice runs its Dinner Anniversary Series on four Sundays in November at $150 per person: November 8, 15, 22, and a fourth date. The same kitchen that runs the $5 happy hour handroll also runs a $150 anniversary omakase. The range is the point — Miss Crispy Rice is the most democratically priced omakase operation in Miami.

Hakkasan Miami at the Fontainebleau runs a Clase Azul Tequila Dinner on November 19 at $175 per person. Michelin-recommended Chinese haute cuisine paired with Clase Azul — the most unexpected pairing in the spectrum. The combination of a Michelin-recommended kitchen and a premium tequila producer is the most ambitious single-night event in the November dataset.

Francesco Martucci and Sushi Inoshin both run omakase formats at approximately $180 per person. These are the OpenTable experience track entries in the spectrum — the most ambitious ticketed dining events that sit outside the Resy Credit ecosystem. Both represent the highest level of their respective formats in Miami.

Le Jardinier in the Design District runs two tasting formats this season: Thanksgiving at $185 per person (November 26, 12pm–9pm) and the Art Week tasting menu at $190 per person (December 1–6). The Art Week menu includes the Chef's Kiss dessert — created in collaboration with Le Jardinier Houston at the Museum of Fine Arts, inspired by the Picasso-Klee-Matisse exhibition at PAMM. Two price points, two occasions, one kitchen.

MILA in Miami Beach runs a $195 omakase on regular nights. The Mediterranean-Japanese fusion kitchen is one of the most consistently ambitious rooms in the city. At $195, the MILA omakase sits at the top of the recurring tasting menu format — the most expensive weekly omakase in the dataset.

Americana Kitchen at Loews Coral Gables runs the Rooftop Cellar Series on November 19 at $198 per person for 24 guests. Ferrari Brut → Domaine Jolly Chablis → Pommard Pinot Noir → Super Tuscan → Pauillac Bordeaux → Gran Duque de Alba Solera. The most intimate ticketed dining event in Miami — smaller than most omakase bars, with a wine progression that covers the geography of European fine wine in one evening.

Carbone Miami runs Thanksgiving at $225 per person — the most expensive Thanksgiving in the dataset. Caesar alla ZZ, Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, Glazed Turkey, Pecan Pie. The most glamorous room in South Beach at the most expensive price point in the holiday dining calendar.

Torno Subito in the Design District runs its PALME tasting experience daily at $234 per person. The most expensive recurring tasting format in the dataset. The Design District location, the Italian kitchen, and the daily availability make it the most accessible ultra-premium tasting in Miami — you do not need to wait for a special occasion.

ELYU in Coral Gables runs a $400 omakase — the most expensive tasting format in Miami. ELYU is the top of the Coral Gables dining moment: the same neighborhood that has Miss Crispy Rice at $5 happy hour also has a $400 omakase. The range is 80x. No other neighborhood in Miami covers that spectrum.
