With a great reputation you can get fish, oysters, a good vegetable, and service. This place seems to have it all. With a casual feel, nothing fancy.

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
Rio Crystal
Let’s start with that its been here forever. They put a bit of salt in the chocolate milkshake, your plate will come overflowing with food. Its a diner. out bird road.
Asador 5 Jotas
http://www.asador5jotasmiami.com
Sometimes on a Wednesday night Todd knows just where we are going, usually actually that is the case. But I think we wound up here completely by accident. And we loved it. We still aren’t sure what the name is about. 5 hams? yeah, but there seems to be more to it- that is the idea of ‘five hams’ has some connotation that we dont get. But the meats are great, the sides and service also wonderful , and some nights there is a latin band.
Chocolate Fashion
One in the Gables, the other in South Miami. Both small, loud, crowded and very good. At both locations I prefer to sit on the sidewalk if the weather allows. Great sandwiches, good salads, and the most amazing chocolate cookie that is really a brownie in disguise.
Georges in the Grove
a nice meal in a nice place.
El Chalan
Near Tropical Park. A family style Peruvian restaurant. Again, i like aji de galina. You can get fish, or meat, fried rice, fried food. Its all good. Very casual.
TANI THAI
I have eaten here a few times and yeah, its good enough, but i never get that urge to go back. So, i order the Basil Duck to go and I’m happy.
Salvadore D
Salvadore D is a surprising little place hidden in the Winn Dixie shopping plaza at Sunset and 87th. Its been there for years and is considered to be one of the finer Italian spots in town, certainly outside of the Gables and Downtown. Continue reading “Salvadore D”
Sports Grill
I love wings. And these are among the best. Not breaded, just marinated, fried , and grilled. Go for the special grill. You can also get shrimp skewers and fries if you want to eat like me. Maybe a burger, a piece of fish. Its a full delicious bar menu in the heart of south miami. sit outside and watch the people to be seen clamoring over Georges next door.
Casabe 305 Bistro
a little house on coral way. it feels like home. You will find it by looking for the little white lights wrapped around the tree. You will love it
