Jason Iberica Pata Negra

Absolutely loved this place.  Hidden away ay 10 SW South River Dr, Miami, FL 33130, in a lovely apartment building this odd shaped hidden gem is worth the trip.

The service left a little to be desired but if you are tired of the same old place come here.  We didn’t know to order the paella, I’m telling you to order it.  it’s apparently what they are known for.

We dipped the MOST DELICIOUS BREAD in our shrimp and garlic sauce.. and needed nothing else.

Bocas House

We have discovered Doral and are loving it.  This past Wednesday we ate at this family friendly plain old restaurant.  What a joy.  No style, no theme, just good food and a great looking menu.

Oh yeah, and cloth napkins and an amazing dessert.  Unfortunately the salt was too thick to shake from their shakers but they gladly brought me a small bowl.

We shared a 24 oz. Porterhouse which was accompanied by yuca fries ( i would get the regular fries next time) .  It came with a sharing size salad with a delicious citrus dressing.  The steak was cooked as we ordered it, medium rare, and really tasty.  As good as any steak ouse but without the pretentiousness.  We also had a mac and cheese which was ordinary and extraordinary and worth ordering.

Then onto dessert… A mug of cookies and cream milkshake , topped with a white chocolate brownie covered with vanilla ice cram.. and the greatest largest start ever.

No need to order dinner, just get the dessert!

Jack’s home cooking

This little house with its front porch on 2nd Ave caught our eye as we were heading to Wynwood to seek out dinner this past Monday night.  And we are so glad it did.  We sat at an adequately sized table for two with the dog at our feet.

I ordered the Short Rib and my companion had an Eggplant Parmigiana.  They were both good tho far from the bet we have eaten.  The dessert on the other hand was magnificent. I want to say that good food is often all i get expect when i head out to dinner.

 

This is a lovely cozy welcoming place and i would definitely come back

Cafe Roval

A new and upscale Yummy place by the people who brought you soyka.  Just a few doors down off Biscayne near 51st street.  The loveliest back garden, the most interesting building, the yummiest grouper.  I have nothing bad to say and I can not wait to go back.
