There were two very different crowds at the reopenings of Doa and Moreno’s Cuba, two very different restaurants within blocks of each other on Collins Avenue in South Beach last night. Doa was “refreshed” with a “cozier” interior and outdoor terrace dining, while Moreno’s “reopened” at the Dorchester Hotel, after moving from a smaller location at the Riviera Hotel.
Doa is very polished and high end while Moreno’s is somewhat more touristy but also has some very eclectic interior spaces, and spills out onto a beautiful courtyard space and pool deck. Both are really very lovely.
