The Vibe
La Pata Gorda operates as the first U.S. outpost of a nine-location Ecuadorian chain, and it arrives with a clear identity: mangrove crab. The room on Miracle Mile runs warm and unhurried; every table closes with a complimentary digestif. The Infatuation placed the crab croquettes and ceviche among the best arguments for the cuisine in Miami.
