GRATO

Grato is chef Clay Conley's neighborhood restaurant in Flamingo Park, built around a revolving seasonal menu that leans on the best ingredients available rather than a fixed set of signatures. Conley, a James Beard Award nominee, brings the same ingredient-driven sensibility here that anchors his other South Florida restaurants, Buccan and Imoto, as part of the broader Ember Group collection. The vibe splits the difference between casual and upscale — approachable enough for a regular weeknight dinner, polished enough for a night out with guests. There's a daily happy hour from 5 to 6 p.m., Sunday brunch from 11 to 3, and a standing Monday deal on half-off wine bottles, all pointing to a restaurant built for regulars rather than one-off special occasions.
