Dinner for 8 in Miami, great food, fun ambiance

I'm organizing a dinner in Miami for a group of 8 thirtysomething foodies coming from NYC and Chicago. We're looking for delicious, interesting food (comparable quality to what we get at home, but with a Miami take) at a venue that will be good for a group of our size and has fun ambiance (we wouldn't prioritize scene over food, but we still like a little scene). Staying at the Viceory, so something within a cab ride from Brickell is preferred. Was wondering if any of the following restaurants would be good choices or if you suggest another spot:

- Michy's
- OLA
- Michael's Genuine

Thanks!

Momofuku Ko - while pregnant + food allergy?

I am pregnant, and my husband and I are trying to hit all our dream restaurants in Manhattan before we soon are relegated full time to the burbs. Momofuku Ko is top of our list, but I'm wondering if it would be a good choice for me given my pregnancy-related food restrictions plus the fact I'm allergic to dairy. Anyone have a sense of how much of the menu I might be able to eat and how accomodating they might or might not be?
