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.

Brickel, on the water, eat outside. we relaxed , we enjoyed. It seems to be a ‘happening’ happy hour place. the clientele were the young and the beautiful.
In my backyard, why don’t i go more. Its a great lunch spot or to pick up dinner. As I write this it occurs to me I need a tag for take out and this is going on the list .
Another nice Wednesday night find I wouldn’t have tried otherwise. On Main Highway in the grove we took Emma ( the puppy) out to dinner and found ourselves at a lovely outdoor table where i could watch all the action in the Grove. Dinner was good. I would go back. It might not be my first choice, but it was good. Its hard, When you go to a new restaurant every week for years, it takes a lot to make the list of places i want to go back to. Sorry Boho, you were good, just not special enough.
We go high and we go low and we go everyplace in the middle. This was low. Four seats at the counter for a decent dog and mac&cheese. My dad is an arbiter man, i grew up on Nathan’s in Yonkers and this doesn’t come close.
I have always gone at someone else suggestion and never been unhappy. Last time I was here I tried the ribs. I must say, they give the wings a run for their money. A neighborhood pizza place. I could take it or leave it.

This is one of those places with delicious food, nice service, but i dread going because i don’t understand the menu. The outdoor patio overlooking Peacock Park is perfect for a nice night out.
I have gone back and forth on DiNapoli for years. My first experience was bad, then years later I returned and it was fine. I have been twice in the past year and taken out twice, all good. So, for neighborhood Italian its a good choice. You have to choose it over Papa Piccolo ( http://papapiccolopizzeria.eat24hour.com ), Papa Riccos ( at 144 and US 1) and giros ( http://cirosonline.com ) which isn’t easy.
Sometimes confused with el chalan ( https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g34438-d431951-Reviews-El_Chalan_Restaurant-Miami_Florida.html ) because they are both out bird road and both have good food but El Chaman which is out at about 143 ave is fine dining. Romantic, but not completely intimate you will get not only the best pisco sour intern but delicious high end peruvian food and a fantastic chocolate dessert.
South Miami..What a burger. It has everything on it including the kitchen sink. Get a finger bowl as you are going to be a mess. I loved it.
