At the end of fall and into winter, visitors can expect less rainfall which means basking in the sun and of course, finding some great spots to eat. Whether on a patio, rooftop or just outside, restaurants are packed to the brim at this time of the year as it seems almost mandatory to enjoy the weather and eat outside. From waterfront to ocean view to terraces and more, if you are looking for a spot to get great food, people watch and enjoy the Miami sun, look no further than these restaurants.
