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.

Lola’s Gourmet
I really wanted to go to Lola’s. I saw it out my car window near 8th street and red road and thought there was something about it. I was right.
Sort of Spanish, Sort of Rustic, sort of Familyish the food was good. I am still not certain what to order because I know we ordered wrong. And if we were allowed to go back to a place we had been Todd and I would return. But the rules are we can’t go back together so eventually I will go back with someone else.
Casabe 305 Bistro

Steak. Its about Meat. Its very cold, very expensive, very loud, and far down on my list of places to eat.
Palm d’or
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???
Uncle Toms cabin
On 8th street, yummy BBQ.
Versailles
This is the quintessential place for cuban. Its where the community gathers to talk about Cuba and the news trucks pull in to get the pulse of the neighborhood. There isn’t anything special about it, except, you can say you were here.
Bulla
Very popular tapas place in the gables. I like it very much but don’t go often. there are too many other places to try.
Mint Leaf
Lets just say i enjoy Indian food if someone drags me there, but i dont like it. the place is clean, reliable, But i would only return if manipulated into it.
