Icebox is a bright, modern cake box of a space, the minimalist recipe of lofty white walls, industrial ceiling, and poured cement floor an attractive testament to less being more. It's a laid-back yet energized scene, with new-agey background music all but drowned out by the chitter-chatter of a lively crowd. But Icebox is more than just cool: It is one of the best neighborhood restaurants in South Beach. The New American cuisine - meaning dishes such as Greek salad, Argentine-style skirt steak, veal Milanese, and Thai-style ribs - is freshly prepared and fully flavored. The staff is cordial and competent. There are refreshing, innovative alcoholic beverages and refreshing, innovative nonalcoholic beverages and a bakery's worth of tantalizing desserts. Icebox, in fact, began as a bakery, and customers still traipse in just to take out a box of baked goodies. Solid lunches and breakfasts too, as well as an exceptional weekend à la carte brunch, have helped contribute to Icebox's rousing success.

Killer desserts. Sad they are moving.
The Ice Box is a nice box, a big, airy square with colorful prints, hanging lights, and a bright stainless-steel kitchen. The first sight to grab your attention will likely be the glass display cases arrayed with outrageously delectable desserts. Take a mile-high wedge of legendary German chocolate cake, cuppa steamy espresso, and presto, your brunch is set. Actually the options are wider than that at weekend brunch (served from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.). The most basic choices would be... More »
As the name suggests, the place serves not just dessert but the rest of the meal (and though the food is quite good, it's possible to just walk in off the street and get a table, even on weekends, due to its location half a block off Lincoln Road rather than in the middle of the mall's madness). Nevertheless pastries are Icebox's forte. The namesake icebox cakes put chain ice cream cakes to shame. But nonfrozen delights are also not to be missed. Layer cakes (such as lemon raspberry cake or... More »
This cozy and casual café, one of the few locals' hangouts left in the vicinity of Lincoln Road, is more than just a bakery, particularly after two welcome improvements: expanded restaurant hours and acceptance of credit cards. If you're looking to impress the folks at home with pastries you can pretend you made yourself, there's no better place in town to get goods to go. You won't find any of those puffed-up pastries that look so polished yet taste like shoe polish. Here it's just... More »
Owner Robert Siegmann has created a virtual dessert oasis in the heart of Lincoln Road. And the former New York caterer has done it by taking classic desserts and giving them a modern flair. Take, for example, the pink coconut layer cake. The color isn't the only thing that stands out. Each slice is immense, a towering testament to days gone by. Indeed the enormous dimensions of his creations are Siegmann's trademark. But size alone doesn't matter. (At least that's what we've always been... More »
