Fall Line Kitchen & Bar is a romantic hotspot perfect for date nights. As one reviewer puts it, 'The ambiance is so night and I highly recommend it for a nice date night that has luxury Miami vibes for the setting.' The dim lighting, the 'great service and food' and the luxury setting make it ideal for a cozy date night. The igloo dining experience in colder months adds a touch of romance to the place.
