It is no secret that I love the new incarnation of Square One. Gone are the heinous shower curtain/makeshift doors in the bathroom, and with the renovation of the space came a new menu, incorporating favorites from both The Cafe and Banana Cafe, the other restaurants owned by the Square […]

We have been to Cafe Marquesa many times over the past fifteen years. The food is always stellar, and the service is usually professional, if not at all friendly. The thing is, when we are trying to decide where to go for dinner, on any given night, I always forget […]
I normally try to avoid chain restaurants as often as possible, but when a postcard arrived in the mail offering me a free dinner for me and three guests at the not-quite-opened Bonefish Grill in Aventura, I could not resist. I went expecting a mediocre meal, and was pleasantly surprised.
Smuggler’s Cove Resort, located at mile marker 85, Bayside, in Islamorada has recently undergone a major renovation to both the hotel as well as the restaurant. We were invited to check out the new menu choices, and I am glad we did, as it is my new favorite stopping point on […]
The Bier Boutique is a new take out and delivery joint in midtown Key West, opened in August by a couple from Ohio. In typical Key West fashion, they came on vacation, loved it, moved here and opened a business. While the restaurant is take out or delivery only, they […]

It takes a lot to get me to go to Downtown Miami, and in this case, it was an invitation from the folks at Steak Brasil for dinner. I am glad I accepted, as it was fantastic. This traditional Brazilian Rodizio (so traditional, in fact, that their website is entirely in Portuguese) […]

I was recently invited to check out La Mancha, a new Spanish restaurant in Downtown Miami. It is conveniently located across the street from the American Airlines Arena, and a few blocks away from the Arsht Center, so it is perfect for a pre- or post-game or theater outing. They […]
It is no secret that every year I look forward to the Key West Food and Wine Festival. It is organized, well thought out and offers wonderful events. So, when I saw the menu posted for the Banfi wine dinner on Thursday night, I bought tickets right away, knowing that […]
