This place was on its way to being my new favorite when we went on a Wednesday night three years ago. But then i went back, and so not my favorite, just ordinary, not so great the second time

Hialeah Gardens? don’t ask me where it is. Please don’t ask me how to get there. But if you are in the neighborhood i say you should go. We didn’t order well, we should have gotten fish, just fish.

I don’t even remember being here but as i play catch up Todd insists I was here. So i guess i need to go back
The Peacock Garden Cafe
Coconut grove for lunch. Love this place.
The food is good but the atmosphere is why i go. Sometimes I just want to eat in the garden and this is one of the few places in Miami where one can do that. The bonus being the food is good and you take a walk through the Grove afterwards. It can feel like wind tunnel outside and they are pretty strict about not serving dinner items at lunch.

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.

Hidden in the back of shopping center find this charming little restaurant with very good food.
We had a wonderful steak and a magnificent Chicken ravioli in pesto
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!

Behind the miami airport, in an industrial neighborhood sits this charming Italian restaurant.
Decorated with care and a unique eye, even the menu looks original. And the food was fabulous. The service friendly and something about the place sets it apart.
