On Bird Road at 57th (Red Road). In my opinion the best sushi around town. They have great lunch specials and serve a nice thick chunky sashimi. It can be abut loud, they are closed on Mondays, but I prefer it to the other sushi places so I come when I can.
Category: Restaurants for any time
Not the most special, not the most fun, not the cheapest, not the most expensive. Just good basic places to choose from when you are looking for a new place to go
Disco Fish
Thats what it is. A miami fish place, on the latin side with reliable food.
PF CHANGS
You either like it here or you dont. For me, you can’t beet the mongolian beef and the fried rice. The rest is always just chinese and not interesting. So last night i decided to try shrimp in lobster sauce, and it was surprisingly good.
Wagons West
Disco fries. A grilled swiss cheese with bacon on whole wheat with BBQ sauce on the side. Its a divests yummy, you can wait for a table at breakfast or lunch.
Flemmings
its another great steak house in coral gables. Probably the nicest bar area.
POC Buffet
I know wearent suppose to love cheap buffets but this isnt cheap and I like it. Mostly because the food isnt bad and i can get a bite of this and a bite of that. I like bringing the kids because they can get what they want when they want it.
I wouldn’t choose it fr good food, but for a day when nothing else hit me as ‘the place’ POC works because they offer ice cream, sushi, a grill, and veggies.
Castelluccio Ristorante
This was one of those fun nights out. The food was fine, but the experience was too memorable. Todd and I went because he knew someone who knew the owner. Whoever she was she joined us for appetizers and totally entertained us. Then , after dessert, her young daughter serenaded us. I can’t say go or not. its worth a try if you have a recommendation from another source.
Padres Kitchen
In the Gables, totally convenient and really good. I am a regular, but i dont go that often
It all starts with some corn kernels and sauce. then onto an Aji de Galina. I have no complaints. The place is always clean, the staff always pleasant, the food always good.
Cardon y el Tirano

tapas… a small casual place that had good food but it wasn’t very comfortable. nice for dinner, not great for a long slow evening. click here
Frattelino
Really good but not always consistent. I like the ceasar salas, but when Cafe Violetta is just down the street.. if i am looking for delicious Italian I dont know why i would come here.
