The Collective Plate

I have been looking for a really good noodle place ever since I moved here a little over year ago. I’ve been to a few spots but nothing lived up to the noodles I had in NYC… until now. MOMI opened its doors December 1st, in a small space off S Miami ave in Brickell. I got the […]

After a long day at work, is there really anything better than a good beer with awesome friends? Ft. Lauderdale’s Riverside Market is just the place for that with wall to wall chilled beer fridges and a ton of comfortable couches. Plus, they have a great food menu that has a little bit of everything […]

While Miami isn’t typically known for a large beer community, Beck’s changed the game by unveiling their latest offering in South Florida. Beck’s Sapphire clocks in at 6 percent ABV and is one of the higher-alcohol beers from the Anheuser-Busch family. It made it’s first debut on New Years Eve and was featured at celebrations all over Miami! […]

With eight of us in the group, it’s been really great to explore everyone’s different tastes in food. Some of us like it really spicy, while some of us are still on the mild side of things. Of course, the one thing we can all agree on is that we love dessert. Cake, ice cream, […]

Shopping for presents, gift wrapping, and big meals with family and friends… it’s definitely beginning to look a lot like the holidays! 2012 seems to be flying by us, but what a memorable year it was. The Collective Plate was born in February and here we are! We hope that all your Thanksgiving celebrations were […]

Brunch is easily anyone’s most enjoyable meal of the week. My favorite kind of brunches are the ones that are long and spent with friends and tasty drinks. The ideal location is a space that’s comfortable and inviting with a staff that’s similar. Mark and I found this and food that’s more than blog-worthy at […]

If you are a fan of The Dining Room, then head on down to the sister restaurant called OLA located in the heart of South Beach. This restaurant serves Latin American cuisine that will tickle your tastebuds. In the meantime, check out what we thought about this local Miami beach hot spot! Remember, bigger is […]

Oh, Rustic Inn… The Collective Plate is definitely planning on coming back. It’s always great to find places that aren’t just about the food, but the overall experience as well. With our mallets in hand, the team wasn’t afraid to get dirty for the sake of great seafood. Of course, it also helped that they […]

A crowd favorite in Miami’s trendy Midtown neighborhood, SUGARCANE Raw Bar Grill is the place for good food and great times. Executive Chef, Tim Balloo creates a one-of-a kind dining experience that marries Miami’s relaxed vibe with a tempting palette of South American flavors. High ceilings and an open air atmosphere easily welcomes cozy dinner […]

Always up for a food challenge, The Collective Plate was pretty excited about their first vegetarian meal at Miami’s Mi Vida Cafe. While known for their fresh food made with locally sourced ingredients, the team’s proud carnivores were still apprehensive about the meatless options. (And dinner with the group is always a good time!) Keep […]
