A Love Story is sure to be a top South Miami spot for girls’ night.
It may not be a likely location for a love-themed wine bar and bistro, but A Love Story Winery & Bistro off of Miller Road in South Miami seems like it was meant to be.
Once you step foot into this lavishly decorated space, you ultimately feel as if you are part of someone’s romantic dream. Every aspect of the restaurant is dedicated to the love story-theme. Whether that is the wall of famous movie lovers, the heart-shaped cherry blossom trees, or the many neon-signs placed on the walls reminding you that this is a place where love is truly welcomed. The whole experience is an Instagrammer’s paradise!
A Love Story Winery & Bistro
The restaurant features a full bar and lounge area, as well as table seating, a large outdoor space, and multiple rooms for private events. Expect to hear about bridal showers and birthday parties galore, here at A Love Story.
With a chef and pastry chef dedicated to the restaurant, guests can choose from a full menu of dishes and desserts while they bask in the glow of amore. Cleverly named dishes like “Careless Whisper” tuna tartare, which includes a passion fruit yolk, green onions, sesame seeds, smoked avocado, and plantain chips. “I can’t fight this feeling anymore” blackened oven-roasted Atlantic Salmon, smoked beet puree, and charred vegetables. “Lo Quiero a Morir” beef tenderloin with strawberry and red wine reduction and green risotto made with scallions.
Don’t forget dessert! “Magic Churros” with hickory smoked “mantecado” ice cream, crispy chocolate, and special heart churros, or deconstructed passion fruit pie in the shape of a heart with two textures (custard and mousse) and burnt Italian merengue. ¡Qué rico!
A Love Story Wine List
Sommelier, Nelson, has curated a selection to satisfy most everyone. For example, the wine list at A Love Story actually features a page dedicated to Sherry! (Finally!) It’s an easy-to-read iPad menu sectioned out by grape varieties. Under Chardonnay, you will find Chablis Premier Cru, along with some bottles from California. In the Spanish red wine category, there are two options for Mencía, in addition to an entire section of just Tempranillo. You’ll even find a Pinotage from South Africa and a couple labels from Uruguay. Wine from Australia, France, Italy, Spain, and even Morocco! Bravo to A Love Story for being adventurous with their bottle selection.
Of course, regular crowd pleasers like Miraval rosé are available, featured alongside exotic choices like a St. Laurent rosé from Pfalz, Germany.
If all this sounds just…lovely to you, check out A Love Story Winery & Bistro opening August 28th for brunch.
