When they renovated this former 1930s gas station across from a historic Miami cemetery, they did a fantastic job of keeping the floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the cozy banquettes and tables with light. There is usually a diverse bunch of customers, from locals craving fresh oysters to business types wanting to impress their clients with the several kinds of caviar on the menu.
And that is the interesting thing about Mignonette: It is both fancy and unpretentious, so everyone fits in. The food is also divided into ‘plain’ and ‘fancy’ and there is even ‘super fancy’. If you want to try a bit of everything, go for the seafood tower with clams, oysters, shrimp and crab cocktails, lobster tail, and crab legs. Their interesting wine list also has something for everyone.
