Miami Spice month-and-a-half is an excellent opportunity to try new restaurants, or old favorites, with a pre-set three-course menu for $39 per person. My parents seized the opportunity to take us to Il Mulino for our anniversary. When we lived in New York, we were one block from the original […]

It is entirely possible to pass the tiny take-out window without a second glance. Kojin Noodle Bar, just off Duval Street in Key West, is easy to miss. This small eatery churns out fabulous Asian comfort food.
Thai Spice opened in Fort Lauderdale in 1995, and we have been dining there since moving to Florida in 1999. It is wonderful. We don’t go there often, but when I saw a Groupon pop up for $50 worth of food (with a coupon I paid $15) it incentivized me […]
Recently, we were invited to check out Juniper on the Water in Hallandale Beach. Not one to pass up a free meal, I gladly accepted. It is a bit challenging to find the restaurant, as the location inside The Hemispheres condo complex is odd. But that is where the weirdness […]
Summer specials abound in Key West, and the folks at The Flaming Buoy Filet Co. have joined the fray with their new Bites and Flights menu. Available every evening, the new menu features flights of four wines, as well as small portions of some of their most popular dishes. All […]

After not having been for quite a while, friends wanted to meet at La Trattoria Oceanside earlier in the week. The downtown spot is a quick 15-minute walk from our house, but this one is much closer for our friends (and the parking is far less annoying). This location, near […]
A giant building, right on the water (hence the very creative name) houses Key West’s newest brewery. The Waterfront Brewery has been a long time in the planning stages, and though it has been open for a while now, the rooftop restaurant and music venue is still in the works.
It’s summer. Each step into the sweltering heat reminds us that (a) it is time to seek air conditioning as often as possible and (b) summer dining specials are ramping up. Part b is the more interesting one to me. I will update you as the summer goes on, but […]
I’ve been hearing and reading all sorts of great things about Ends Meat in Hollywood and decided I needed to check it out for myself. The idea of a good restaurant in downtown Hollywood is enticing, and I was eager to love it, but it wasn’t perfect.
