Scarpetta, Fontainebleau Miami Beach, 4441 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 786-276-1388. Offer good nightly except Saturday. The Fontainebleau scores a triple play. Perhaps that's not fair, but how can we turn down these selections? Raw yellowtail with baby greens, burrata cheese with heirloom tomatoes, braised beef short ribs with vegetable and farro risotto, and creamy polenta with truffled mushrooms. Next comes signature spaghetti with tomato and basil, branzino with lobster fricassee, spice-roasted chicken with polenta and morel mushrooms, or bone-in prime aged sirloin of beef with Trumpet Royale mushrooms. Dessert is either chocolate cake with toasted almond gelato and salted caramel sauce or mocha swirl cheesecake with espresso sorbet.

Tuna's Raw Bar & Grille, 17850 W. Dixie Highway, North Miami Beach; 305-932-0630. Offer good nightly except Friday. There are seven starters to choose from, including Blue Point oyters Rockefeller and escargots bourguignon in mushroom caps. A classy intermezzo of lemon sorbet with a splash of champagne follows. Among the entrées: one-and-a-half-pound Maine lobster, prime New York steak, shrimp Française, lamb chops Provençale, and veal medallions forestière. Funny that Tuna's should tout the most French-sounding fare. Swiss chocolate mousse cake, peach melba, and apple strudel à la mode are the dessert picks.
