4) Watch an amazing performance under the stars at Dennis C. Moss Cultural Arts Center 

10950 SW 211 St, Cutler Bay, FL 33189

Now that the sun has finally set, you're probably wondering what's next on the agenda.

Bar-hopping?

Movies?

Scratch all that — I've got a better idea!

Welcome to Dennis C. Moss Cultural Arts Center, formerly known as the South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center, a performance center featuring a 961-seat main stage theater, a black box theater, a lab theater, and a spacious backyard concert lawn for outdoor performances under the stars!

Expect diverse quality arts and entertainment for people of all backgrounds and ages, from singing and dancing concerts to festivals and themed celebrations — there won't be a night without one!

5) Dine waterfront at Black Point Ocean Grill

What's a date night without a romantic dinner?

Well, let me do you one better — head to Black Point Grill for a memorable WATERFRONT dining experience!

And no, I'm not just talking about the breathtaking views!

A waterfront restaurant consistently earning a spot in the hearts of Cutler Bay's locals and tourists, Black Point Ocean Grill offers fresh seafood, hand-cut steaks, salads, and sandwiches.

But, aside from a delicious menu (as you can tell from the dishes I mentioned), Black Point Ocean Grill is also well known for its casual dining ambiance, with seating available in an Al Fresco setting or along the boardwalk and live band performances throughout the day. 

So, go ahead and treat your date to some oysters, tuna burgers, and fried calamari paired with patron Margaritas — she'll forget her diet as soon as the food hits that table!

Remember-- when in Cutler Bay, no one shies from a YOLO night, especially if it means great food and romantic water views!
