Sra. Martinez

Sra. Martinez is the revived Coral Gables chapter of the restaurant Chef Michelle Bernstein and husband David Martinez first opened in the Miami Design District in 2008, the year Bernstein became the first woman to win the James Beard Award for Best Chef: South.

The menu leans into Spanish cuisine with Mediterranean and Old-World touches, built for sharing and heavy on seasonal, local ingredients finished in a wood-burning oven. Expect carbonara croquetas, oxtail paella, pan con tomate, braised mussels, and bread pudding alongside craft cocktails, an extensive wine list, and live music several nights a week.

The dining room and bar draw a steady happy hour crowd, date-night couples, and groups celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, with indoor and outdoor seating at 2325 Galiano Street. Expect to spend $30-50 per person for a full meal, more with drinks and shared plates, making it a solid pick for both a casual Miami Spice lunch and a dressier dinner out.
