dinner suggestion near Kaseya Center

We are looking for suggestions for an early dinner on a Wednesday evening near Kaseya Center for a group of six people (three generations). Nothing crazy fancy, but preferably something that's not a chain and that serves more than bar food. Would love any recommendations for something original! Thanks in advance!

If you’re looking for an early Wednesday dinner near Kaseya Center in Miami for a group spanning three generations, you have several excellent local options that are casual yet original, offering more than just bar food. These spots are within a short drive or walk from the arena and provide a comfortable environment for families or groups.

Here are some standout choices:

  • La Mar by Gastón Acurio – Located at the Mandarin Oriental in Brickell, about a 10–15 minute drive. Serves modern Peruvian cuisine with fresh seafood, ceviches, and inventive small plates that are fun to share. Great for family-style dining.
  • KYU Miami – Located in Wynwood, around 10 minutes by car. Wood-fired Asian-inspired menu, with dishes ranging from grilled meats to vegetable options. Casual atmosphere, ideal for groups and adventurous palates.
  • Beaker & Gray – Also in Wynwood, offers inventive American cuisine with globally inspired flavors. Small plates and main dishes are perfect for sharing, and the ambiance is lively yet not overwhelming.

Additional tips:

  • Consider making a reservation if you are going for the earlier seating, especially for a group of six.
  • Traffic around Kaseya Center can be heavy on event nights, so plan extra travel time if your dinner is close to the start of the show.
  • Sharing small plates is often the best way to try multiple flavors without overwhelming younger diners or older family members.

Overall, Wynwood and Brickell are your best bets for original, non-chain dining experiences near Kaseya Center that suit a diverse group. You’ll find a mix of casual to slightly upscale options that are flavorful, approachable, and memorable.
