For a while on a Sunday, families and friends could gather at Steak954 and have a great time together during brunch.

If there is a visual picture associated with Sunday brunch, it’s smiling family members gathered in front of the restaurant, making their way in for a delicious meal and then to leave with the sun setting on the horizon, ending what seems like a perfect day. Coconuts would be the best place to make this vision a reality with its setting on the water. Coconuts’ Sunday brunch menu makes the mouth water with such choices as the Moo & Cluck (marinated skirt steak, two eggs and chimichurri sauce), shrimp & grits and the seafood frittata (Maine lobster, shrimp, lump crab with tarragon and hollandaise).

Yardbird Southern Table & Bar
1600 Lenox Ave
Miami Beach, FL 33139

Don’t drive down 16th Street from Alton Road too quickly or you will pass by Yardbird if you’ve never been before. After making the right hand turn, pass the McDonald’s and start to look for side parking. If none is available around the popular restaurant, park at any of the garages on Lincoln Road and take a walk over. Walking through the world-famous blocks on Lincoln Road and to Yardbird is fantastic. Once you get a table, choose from such delicacies as the chicken, watermelon and waffles, big ol’ waffle or the healthy fresh fruit and maple pecan granola.

Miami, FL 33183

Devon makes its brunch menu easy but “easy” doesn’t mean lacking in quality or presentation. It offers a brunch buffet menu with omelets made to order, a cold seafood display, waffles and entree selections like fresh scrambled eggs, applewood smoked bacon, Thai chicken wings, seared Atlantic salmon, etc. Reservations can be made on the Open Table website and customers can take advantage of seating by arriving earlier because the demand for the food at Devon eats up parking spaces.
