Swensons
A traditional Ice Cream Parlor imitation. The sundaes are served in tall glass bowls, the ice cream is great and people love the patty melt too.
Sawa
at Merrick park has become a new favorite. Its so lovely to sit outside in a pretty though unnatural setting. The food is great and varied, the service usually good tho never great. . In my mind this is meant to be a relaxing place to waste away some time over good food with a good friend.
Casa Cuba
In south Miami in the old Larios building. And just as good. This is the easy casual bar in town, good food, easy to be at , neighborhood restaurant.
Ms. Cheezeous
Doesn’t the name say it all. A smores for dessert, pulled pork grilled cheese, and the one up north has a fabulous yard. I haven’t been to the one in the Gables yet.

Latin House
Out Sunset at about 97th. And not really Latin. This place turns out a great burger and has unique and delicious gastro pub style food.
La Cameronera
When I first started coming here it was standing room only. Get a fried fish sandwich or my favorite the fried seafood in chili sauce. My dad liked the oysters and its just a great place to go if you haven’t been.
Papa Piccolo

A favorite. Conveniently located but hidden in a small neighborhood shopping plaza I always get the tortellini alfredo. The salad dressing is great as is the chicken Marsala. I hear the pizza is first rate. Go, enjoy.
Spring Chicken
Is it ok to say Popeyes is better, so is kentucky fried. Im not even sure that the sides here are that good. Know the place always feels dirty but its popular because there isnt anything else like it.
The Local
I was first to the Local with a group of six.. the perfect size group to eat there. great sharing plates arrived one after the other and each was tasty. You can also get a good burger, great Fries and i like the chicken dumpling soup. On Giralda in the Gables. Be cautioned- they have lunch hours, dinner hours, and an in-between hour where getting food isn’t necessarily easy.
