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.
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.

The food was fabulous, The wait an hour, the price outrageous.
Took my mom here one of those days when we were stupid hungry. It absolutely loved like the business place to see and be seen. They offered a 29 dollar lunch but we wanted something else. When the bill came our something else was 145 dollars a piece. Nothing is that good if it doesn’t clean up after me.
Downtown. And wonderful. A top notch Italian restaurant where you can often be treated like gold. Though just as often the snob factor and see and be seen atmosphere can dampen the evening. But you won’t get better food. you jus wont.
I love Zuma, but I like it best when there are 4 or 6 of us and we can share and taste. Ridiculously expensive and so worth it. Leave 30 minuted to get your car out of valet. Asian fusion.. each dish is unique, each flavor enticing. its a top notch place with nothing comparable around. On a cool night you can sit outside on the river and watch the boats pass by. On any other night you can watch the beautiful people and the plates of food passing by.

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
With a reputation as thee place to go in the Gables this overpriced, poorly serviced, eatery in the Biltmore Hotel has failed to impress me twice in the past few years. If pretentious indicates class to you and if endless waits indicate careful service then come and enjoy the food. The last night we were there after an hour waiting on our appetizer the waiter eventually explained there was a big party being served.. huh??? and they were stingy on the desserts, as I was starving i asked for a few cookies from the dessert cart, i was informed that really they were after dinner and eventually four tiny cookies appeared at our table of four. again, huh???
At the Mandarin Oriental. Its good, its fancy, but i wont go back. I feel like I am alone when i eat here, and it does have a funny hotel feel about it. If you are staying here, then by all means eat here, but don’t make a special trip.
