Grilled eggplant, smothered in tomato, garlic and aged Gruyere, or a Greek platter satisfy as vegetarian dishes in the appetizer category. Not every dish works, but I highly suggest the double cheese soufflé teamed with mixed greens and a citrus dressing. Steaks come lightly charred and served as ordered.

Hearty helpings with choices so vast it’s best to bring a friend to share plates. You could start with desayuno fueled with café con leche and huevos fritos. My preference would be the lunchtime sandwiches, Espanol or Cubano. You can’t go wrong with the medianoche, pressed and toasted bread with either bolo ham (sweet ham) or turkey breast slathered with strawberry jam and cream cheese. At dinner, a pork dish would be appropriate; either fried, roasted or grilled. While embracing the cuisine, tempt yourself with a few croquetas of ham, pork and Swiss cheese, fried sweet plantains and the moros(rice and beans.)

As the name implies, the classic grilled cheese is married to tasty ingredients such as hickory bacon and held together by parmesan-crusted sourdough bread.  Start with your favorite cheese, perhaps a Brie, topped with caramelized onions, apples and walnuts, a swipe of honey mustard on country bread and grill.  The combinations are inspiring, and the result is a gooey, but crisp and satisfying take on an old favorite.  Eleven crepes-savory or sweet, and an enticing array of artisan flatbread sandwiches with names such as the Butcher, the Gobbler and the French Club, as well as omelets and waffles served all day, provide limitless choices for every appetite.\r\n\r\nBut we haven’t mentioned that Angelina’s is a coffeehouse destination serving organic Columbian coffee roasted in Sarasota.  For our java-obsessed culture, Angelina’s brings you espresso, Macchiato, Thai coffee and a lusty café Cubano.\r\n\r\nSmoothies, frappes and organic teas too numerous to mention are a bright beginning. Polish off your meal at the self-serve yogurt bar and add a few fruits, sprinkles or candies.  The atmosphere is” Miami laidback” and the locals appreciate the free Wi-Fi and the works of art by Miami artists.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Thursday and Sunday:  8:00 am - 11:00 pm\r\nFriday - Saturday: 9:00 am - 10:30 pm</strong>','ANGELINA\'S','','inherit','open','open','','677-revision-4','','','2012-05-16 16:30:25','2012-05-16 16:30:25','',677,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=712',0,'revision','',0),(655,1,'2012-03-20 17:23:34','2012-03-20 17:23:34','<a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/lemoni1new_004.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-497\" title=\"lemoni1new_004\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/lemoni1new_004-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a><strong>4600 NE 2nd Avenue\r\n305-571-5080</strong>\r\n\r\n<em>cafeLemoni@hotmail.com</em>\r\n\r\nIt’s tempting to overlook this tiny bistro in the ever- expanding Buena Vista /Mandolin neighborhood just north of the Design District, but, you just might be missing the best panini in Miami.

Service is good and the waiters are knowledgeable concerning the ingredients and preparations. The dishes are for the most part quite flavorful and the side dishes such as the cauliflower and brussel sprouts still lingers in my thoughts.   Nothing is over $20.00 and 25% of the menu is under $5.00\r\n\r\nThe downside for many a diner here is the din of the chatter and bottleneck of human traffic waiting for tables in a sliver of a holding area.  Gigi\'s is the latest from restauranteur, Amir Ben-Zion of Bardots, a lounge nearby, Sra Martinez and South beach’s Bond St. Sapporo and Stella Artois are on tap.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Friday: 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm\r\nMonday - Thursday: 6:00 pm - 3:00 am\r\nFriday and Saturday: 6:00 pm - 5:00 am</strong>','GIGI\'s','','inherit','open','open','','487-revision-3','','','2011-01-18 21:50:30','2011-01-18 21:50:30','',487,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=551',0,'revision','',0),(552,1,'2011-01-19 20:55:55','2011-01-19 20:55:55','<a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/8965188_3ef084708d.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-513\" title=\"8965188_3ef084708d\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/8965188_3ef084708d-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a><strong>2501 Biscayne Boulevard\r\n305-576-3838\r\n<a href=\"http://www.latincafe2000.com/Latin_Cafe_2000/Latin_Cafe_2000.html\" target=\"_blank\">www.latincafe2000.com</a>\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you are new to Miami and want to experience real Latin food in a restaurant that looks like the real thing on busy Biscayne in a quasi-tropical setting, this is the ticket.  Hearty helpings with choices so vast it’s best to bring a friend to share plates with.

Now open a little more than a year, he is sending out some ambitious, mouthwatering, if oversized, plates in this tiny (25 seats) interior with an additional outdoor patio. Blue Collar certainly implies the working-class are being catered to, but the crowd is also young singles, and families who are joining the crowd for a sampling of Serfer\'s widely varied American comfort food.\r\n\r\nAppetizers to \"nosh on \" seem the perfect place to start. Do not skip the shrimp and grits, which is outfitted with a Piedmontese trugole cheese charged with chunks of bacon, and a New Orleans style bbq sauce.  It doesn\'t get any better than this marriage of flavors topped off with lots of local pink shrimp. What blue-collar meal would be complete without a healthy portion of pork and beans and Berkhire sausage under an oozing egg? While \"healthy\" as in size, not as in \"nutrition,\" the menu is heavy on carbs and fried foods. The daily chalkboard always includes: Ribs with warm German potato salad, a “Parm,” that could be chicken, veal pork on angel hair with a red sauce, and a Braise which could be a tender brisket, pot roast or ox tails, accompanied by mash potatoes.\r\n\r\nI don\'t know of another eatery that offers more than 20 different vegetables, and at recession prices of $4.00 a plate. This is a vegetarian paradise of grilled asparagus topped with blue cheese, roasted butternut squash or fennel, sautéed kale and artichoke hearts in a lemon aioli among others. The choice of crispy snapper with rock shrimp, grilled Cobia, and Mahi Mahi are simple and pleasing local offerings.\r\n\r\nThirteen brews from Delaware to Belgium and some old fashioned sodas, such as orange, or black cherry cream soda, numbers among the offerings. The bread pudding is a popular conclusion to the meal.  Be ready for small tables and close quarters, but it\'s recommended over the outdoor patio, which is far too close to the Biscayne traffic.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Friday: 11:30 am - 3:30 pm\r\nMonday - Thursday, Sunday: 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm\r\nFriday - Saturday: 6:00 pm - 2:00 am\r\nSaturday - Sunday (brunch): 11:00 am - 3:30 pm</strong>','BLUE COLLAR','','publish','closed','open','','blue-collar','','','2014-06-14 04:37:13','2014-06-14 04:37:13','',0,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=728',0,'post','',0),(564,1,'2011-01-18 19:15:11','2011-01-18 19:15:11','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Orange3.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-256\" title=\"Orange3\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Orange3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>2 NE 40th Street\r\n305-571-4070\r\n<a href=\"http://orangecafemiami.com/\" target=\"_blank\">www.orangecafemiami.com/</a></strong>\r\n\r\nAll the sandwiches are named after famous artists, such as the roast beef and avocado called the” Renoir.”  You don’t want to miss the daily special which includes a half sandwich, soup, small salad and a cookie for $7.00.   This is a good place for an early morning cup of java and a fresh baked croissant.  There is curbside dining and a small second floor dining room in this two-storied all glass space  Take out is lightning fast, and free wireless is available to update your facebook page.  A smiling staff that’s enthusiastic about the menu is ready to explain the daily specials.  Heads up, Orange is not open on weekends.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Friday: 9 am - 5 pm</strong>','ORANGE CAFE = ART','','inherit','open','open','','47-revision-10','','','2011-01-18 19:15:11','2011-01-18 19:15:11','',47,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=564',0,'revision','',0),(565,1,'2011-04-19 19:58:12','2011-04-19 19:58:12','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Orange3.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-256\" title=\"Orange3\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Orange3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>2 NE 40th Street\r\n305-571-4070\r\n<a href=\"http://orangecafemiami.com/\" target=\"_blank\">www.orangecafemiami.com/</a></strong>\r\n\r\n<em>orangecafeart@gmail.com</em>\r\n\r\nAll the sandwiches are named after famous artists, such as the roast beef and avocado called the” Renoir.”  You don’t want to miss the daily special which includes a half sandwich, soup, small salad and a cookie for $7.00.   This is a good place for an early morning cup of java and a fresh baked croissant.  There is curbside dining and a small second floor dining room in this two-storied all glass space  Take out is lightning fast, and free wireless is available to update your facebook page.  A smiling staff that’s enthusiastic about the menu is ready to explain the daily specials.  Heads up, Orange is not open on weekends.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Friday: 9 am - 5 pm</strong>','ORANGE CAFE = ART','','inherit','open','open','','47-revision-11','','','2011-04-19 19:58:12','2011-04-19 19:58:12','',47,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=565',0,'revision','',0),(566,1,'2011-01-18 19:12:08','2011-01-18 19:12:08','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Michaels-Genuine-Food-and-.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-253\" title=\"Michael\'s Genuine Food and\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Michaels-Genuine-Food-and-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>130 NE 40th Street  Atlas Plaza\r\n305-573-5550<a href=\"http://www.michaelsgenuine.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\r\nwww.michaelsgenuine.com/</a></strong>\r\n\r\nChef/owner, Michael Schwartz has created an unpretentious American bistro rated one of the 10 best new restaurants in the United States in 2008 by the  “New York Times,” and it continues to live up to its initial reviews.  The menu is down to earth, classic and often features organic and regional ingredients.

Outdoors, a spacious courtyard provides a third alternative on one of Miami’s many warm weather days. Here too, murals capture the eye in every direction.\r\n\r\nWynwood Kitchen and Bar is the creation of Tony Goldman and his daughter, Jessica Goldman Srebnick. Tony, also owner of Joey’s Café, is the ambitious developer who helped transform Soho and Chelsea in NYC into hip cultural neighborhoods.\r\n\r\nSmall plates are a hit here. Crispy artichokes, tomato gazpacho accented with watermelon, the Mediterranean platter( hummas, baba ghanoush and tabbouleh ) and a seafood ceviche bathed in lemongrass and coconut are all outstanding beginnings.\r\n\r\nThe menu serves both lunch and dinner and covers all bases from a choice of 6 omelettes to hearty burgers of beef, tuna, turkey and more.  The clay pots such as snapper and mussel curry with charred pineapple and braised pork with garlic crumbs and mint were surprisingly good.

The mood here is indisputably jeans-casual and retro. Following the trend of modern day gastropubs, the menu is divided into sections by size and sharing is encouraged. The featured jumbo lump crab cake, 3 ounces of crab served with shaved fennel, citrus and spicy remoulade is outstanding. Memorable dishes include the jar-o-duck and the juicy lamb burger with chow chow relish, pretzel bun and goat cheese.  On one occasion, the glazed double-cut pork chop had remained in the oven far too long and was returned to the kitchen. Meat is often served unconventionally. The Wellington, made from short rib not prime beef, comes simmered with bacon, mushrooms, and pearl onions beneath a potpie crust.\r\n\r\nThirteen all American  \"Brewskis\" and wines from around the world contribute to the convivial atmosphere.  Wait staff is pleasant and accommodating.  Restaurant is closed on Mondays and does not serve lunch.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday - Thursday: 6:00 pm - 10:30 pm\r\n</strong><strong>Friday -Saturday: 6:00 pm -11:00 pm\r\n</strong><strong>Sunday: 11:30 am -10:00 pm</strong>','THE FEDERAL FOOD, DRINK & PROVISIONS','','inherit','open','open','','720-revision-3','','','2013-04-10 17:12:20','2013-04-10 17:12:20','',720,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=734',0,'revision','',0),(693,1,'2012-05-16 15:44:32','2012-05-16 15:44:32','','crumb.preview','','inherit','open','open','','crumb-preview','','','2012-05-16 15:44:32','2012-05-16 15:44:32','',660,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/crumb.preview.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(604,1,'2011-04-19 20:07:04','2011-04-19 20:07:04','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Buena-Vista-deli.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-339\" title=\"Buena Vista deli\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Buena-Vista-deli.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>4590 NE 2nd</strong><strong> Avenue\r\n305-576-3945\r\n<a href=\"http://www.buenavistadeli.com/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.buenavistadeli.com/</a></strong>\r\n\r\n<em>BuenaVistaDeli@hotmail.com</em>\r\n\r\nThis unassuming storefront might cause you to drive by, however, don’t make that mistake.  Claude Postel’s exquisite croissant, pain au chocolate, palmiers and other confections such as the meringues will transport the visitor to the streets of Paris.  This shop opens at 7AM for the early morning crowd.  You’ll come for the croissant and return for the sandwiches, quiche and paninis.  Be sure to take note of Claude’s collection of  antique pastry molds.\r\n\r\n<strong>Open Everyday: 7 am - 9 pm</strong>','BUENA VISTA DELI AND BAKERY','','inherit','open','open','','24-revision-13','','','2011-04-19 20:07:04','2011-04-19 20:07:04','',24,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=604',0,'revision','',0),(606,1,'2011-04-19 20:05:24','2011-04-19 20:05:24','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Mandolin2.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-249\" title=\"Mandolin2\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Mandolin2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>4312 2nd Avenue\r\n305-576-6066\r\n<a href=\"http://www.mandolinmiami.com/\" target=\"_blank\">www.mandolinmiami.com/</a></strong>\r\n\r\n<em>mandolinmiami@gmail.com</em>\r\n\r\nAn authentic Aegean bistro, this family owned neighborhood restaurant is a great casual find.  Decompress in the garden in the back under a sprawling tree where mezes, either the Turkish or Greek sampler are a great way to begin.  Enjoy generous sized portions of lemony fava bean puree, smoked eggplant, tzatziki, hummus with the sesame-flecked Turkish flatbread served hot from the oven.  The staff is friendly, the prices are reasonable and the classic dishes couldn’t be better.

The mood here is indisputably jeans-casual and retro. Following the trend of modern day gastropubs, the menu is divided into sections by size and sharing is encouraged. The featured jumbo lump crab cake, 3 ounces of crab served with shaved fennel, citrus and spicy remoulade is outstanding. Memorable dishes include the jar-o-duck and the juicy lamb burger with chow chow relish, pretzel bun and goat cheese.  On one occasion, the glazed double-cut pork chop had remained in the oven far too long and was returned to the kitchen. Meat is often served unconventionally. The Wellington, made from short rib not prime beef, comes simmered with bacon, mushrooms, and pearl onions beneath a potpie crust.\n\nThirteen all American  \"Brewskis\" and wines from around the world contribute to the convivial atmosphere.  Wait staff is pleasant and accommodating.  Restaurant is closed on Mondays and does not serve lunch.\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>Tuesday - Thursday: 6:00 pm - 10:30 pm\n</strong><strong>Friday - Saturday: 6:00 pm -11:00 pm\n</strong><strong>Sunday: 11:30 am -10:00 pm</strong>','THE FEDERAL FOOD, DRINK & PROVISIONS','','inherit','open','open','','720-autosave','','','2013-04-10 18:04:03','2013-04-10 18:04:03','',720,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=725',0,'revision','',0),(723,1,'2013-04-10 17:03:47','2013-04-10 17:03:47','','The Federal Food, Drink & Provisions','','inherit','open','open','','the-federal-food-drink-provisions-2','','','2013-04-10 17:03:47','2013-04-10 17:03:47','',720,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/The-Federal-Food-Drink-Provisions1.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(619,1,'2011-01-18 20:14:54','2011-01-18 20:14:54','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Cheese-Course1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-208\" title=\"Cheese Course1\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Cheese-Course1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>3451 NE 1st Avenue\r\n786-220-6681\r\n<a href=\"http://www.thecheesecourse.com/\" target=\"_blank\">www.thecheesecourse.com/</a></strong>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, \'Times New Roman\', \'Bitstream Charter\', Times, serif; font-size: small;\">Over 150 of the world’s greatest cheeses to choose from as well as a long list of sandwiches—applewood bacon, North Atlantic salmon, cheddar melts and an array of omlets.  One of the great options is the cheese plate organized by country or by category (mild, medium or bold,) The more adventurous can create their own combination and the staff will make appropriate wine pairings either by the glass or the bottle.  Even the salads can be chosen from a list of classic salads from 6 different countries.  This is also a retail operation with a great selection of jams, spreads, olives and honey from around the world.</span></div>\r\n<div><strong>Monday - Friday: 10:30 am - 9 pm\r\nSaturday and Sunday: 10:30 am - 10 pm</strong></div>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, \'Times New Roman\', \'Bitstream Charter\', Times, serif; font-size: small;\">\r\n\r\n</span></div>','THE CHEESE COURSE','','inherit','open','open','','65-revision-16','','','2011-01-18 20:14:54','2011-01-18 20:14:54','',65,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=619',0,'revision','',0),(622,1,'2011-01-18 19:32:09','2011-01-18 19:32:09','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Five-Guys-1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-188\" title=\"Five Guys 1\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Five-Guys-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>3401 N.

The chef, Jeff McInnis is a veteran of top chef and the Ritz Carlton. Your waiter texts your order to the chef, while you dine from communal tables. The design is minimal with steel columns and aluminum bistro chairs. Short rib meatloaf drizzled with soy molasses has already become the signature dish, but don’t hesitate to try the outstanding coconut infused risotto nestling a slowly braised duck leg accented with curry. “Gigi” bao buns, an Asian take on the ubiquitous beef ”sliders” come crowned with tasty pulled pork dusted with peanuts, pulled chicken with a smoky plantain sauce, or filled with shitaki mushrooms. Service is good and the waiters are knowledgeable concerning the ingredients and preparations. The dishes are, for the most part, quite flavorful and the side dishes, such as the cauliflower and Brussel sprouts, still linger in my thoughts. Nothing is over $20.00 and 25% of the menu is under $5.00.\r\n\r\nThe downside, for many a diner here, is the din of the chatter and bottleneck of human traffic waiting for tables, in a sliver of a holding area.

Michele Bernstein, a former ballerina and previously at Azul downtown, runs this serious eatery alongside her husband David who man’s the reservation desk and expertly oversees the somewhat funky mismatched dining room.\r\n\r\nTrained in classical French cooking, Michele decided to offer innovative beautifully presented plates in two sizes, more often referencing the New American style. They took a risk opening this ambitious restaurant in an area of Biscayne bereft of fine dining. But word travels fast and bolstered by her reputation at Azul, Michey’s was an instant success. Now Michey’s only improves with age as she continues her quest for “luxurious comfort food.”\r\n\r\nSignature dishes include the jamon serrano and  blue cheese croquettas, Peruvian style ceviche and seared foie gras “n” waffles for  starters.  Falling off the bone shortribs with parsnip potato mousseline or seared halibut with wild mushroom salsify or the pan seared sole accompanied by sunchoke puree, baby artichokes, preserved lemon and olive nage are all dishes in the “transcendent” category.\r\n\r\nFor desserts I gravitate to  the baked Alaska and Michey’s ethereal bread pudding which are killer endings to  an evening at one of Miami’s best.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday - Thursday and Sunday: 6:00 pm - 10:30 pm\r\nFriday and Saturday: 5:30 pm - 11:00 pm</strong>','MICHY\'S','','inherit','open','open','','499-revision-5','','','2012-03-20 17:23:24','2012-03-20 17:23:24','',499,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=656',0,'revision','',0),(788,1,'2013-04-10 19:52:10','2013-04-10 19:52:10','<a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/bis04a.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-506\" title=\"bis04a\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/bis04a-300x204.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\" /></a><strong>6789 Biscayne Boulevard\r\n305-534-9191</strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"http://www.balans.co.uk/Restaurants_Cafes/Biscayne.php\" target=\"_blank\">balans.co.uk</a></strong>\r\n\r\nThis London based chain has popped up in locations such as Lincoln Road, Mary Brickell Village and S.

There are occasional glitches in service, but the restaurant is attractive and modern.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday - Thursday: 8:00 am - 11:00 pm\r\nFriday - Sunday: 8:00 am - 12:00 am\r\n</strong>','BALAN\'S BISCAYNE','','inherit','open','open','','505-revision-10','','','2013-04-10 19:52:10','2013-04-10 19:52:10','',505,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=788',0,'revision','',0),(657,1,'2012-03-20 17:22:22','2012-03-20 17:22:22','<a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/8965188_3ef084708d.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-513\" title=\"8965188_3ef084708d\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/8965188_3ef084708d-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a><strong>2501 Biscayne Boulevard\r\n305-576-3838\r\n<a href=\"http://www.latincafe2000.com/Latin_Cafe_2000/Latin_Cafe_2000.html\" target=\"_blank\">www.latincafe2000.com</a></strong>\r\n\r\n<em>latincafebiscyan@bellsouth.net</em>\r\n\r\n<strong><em></em></strong>If you are new to Miami and want to experience real Latin food in a restaurant that looks like the real thing on busy Biscayne in a quasi-tropical setting, this is the ticket. Hearty helpings with choices so vast it’s best to bring a friend to share plates. You could start with desayuno fueled with café con leche and huevos fritos. My preference would be the lunchtime sandwiches, Espanol or Cubano. You can’t go wrong with the medianoche, pressed and toasted bread with either bolo ham (sweet ham) or turkey breast slathered with strawberry jam and cream cheese. At dinner, a pork dish would be appropriate; either fried, roasted or grilled. While embracing the cuisine, tempt yourself with a few croquetas of ham, pork and Swiss cheese, fried sweet plantains and the moros(rice and beans.) Specials are offered every day.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Sunday: 9:00 am - 11:30 pm</strong>','LATIN CAFE 2000','','inherit','open','open','','512-revision-5','','','2012-03-20 17:22:22','2012-03-20 17:22:22','',512,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=657',0,'revision','',0),(659,1,'2012-03-20 17:26:40','2012-03-20 17:26:40','<strong>4029 North Miami Avenue\r\nMiami, FL 33127\r\n(786) 431-1022\r\n</strong><strong><a href=\"http://www.egganddartmiami.com/\">www.egganddartmiami.com/</a></strong>\r\n\r\nCo-owners, Costa Grillas and Niko Theodorou, brought up in the family restaurant business, with establishments in Coral Gables and Mykonos respectively, have created a white hued urban environment in which to showcase their rustic Greek cuisine.  The essence of which is simply prepared and perfectly fresh ingredients.  Always on the menu, the grilled fish of the day incorporates nothing more than a drizzle of olive oil, lemon and oregano.  The marinated, grilled octopus, served on a bed of tomatoes, and a half chicken, roasted with lemon and herbs are signature dishes.  Classic dishes that delight, include <em>Spanakopita</em>, homemade spinach pie, and <em>Papoutsaki</em>, baked eggplant, and ground beef topped with a creamy <em>béchamel</em> and sweet tomato sauce.\r\n\r\nMezze, or small plates provide a quick luncheon bite or a sampling to be shared with friends before the main course.  We bestow our stamp of approval on the <em>pikilia</em>, a plate of <em>tzatziki</em>, hummus, and <em>taramosalata</em>, a Greek-style caviar spread made from delicate codfish roe.\r\n\r\nAn array of sweets to round out the meal should include creamy Greek yogurt with honey, or the crowd pleasing, puffed pastry drizzled with honey and sprinkled with walnuts and cinnamon.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Thursday: 11:30am–3:30pm, 5–11pm\r\nFriday: 11:30am–3:30pm, 5pm–12am\r\n</strong><strong>Saturday: 5pm–12am\r\n</strong><strong>Sunday: 5pm – 11pm</strong>','EGG & DART','','inherit','open','open','','583-revision-7','','','2012-03-20 17:26:40','2012-03-20 17:26:40','',583,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=659',0,'revision','',0),(660,1,'2013-03-20 19:32:51','2013-03-20 19:32:51','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/crumb.preview.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-693\" title=\"crumb.preview\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/crumb.preview-300x204.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\" /></a>3930 NE 2nd Ave\r\n(305) 572-9444 </strong>\r\n\r\nCrumb on Parchment, a Michele Bernstein bakery and café, located in the atrium of the Melin building on NE 2nd Avenue that houses cutting edge furniture showrooms.  Early mornings, you’ll find interior designers dining on steel-cut oatmeal and homemade granola.  Other favorites are the French toast baguettes piled high with bananas, candied pecans and maple syrup, and the <em>Croque Madame</em> of melting cheese, Serrano ham, fried egg and <em>béchamel</em>.\r\n\r\nYou will want to return for the soup, salad and sandwich offerings at lunchtime.  Pulled rotisserie chicken with carmelized onions and apples, seared Ahi Tuna accompanied by <em>kimchi aioli</em> and grilled portobello mushroom with onion and kale, round out the “Hot and Messy” category.  Classic home-style sandwiches include a comprehensive list of chicken salad, turkey, homemade roast beef, “BLATs”, (add avocado to the traditional BLT), tuna salad and gooey grilled cheese.

As the name implies, the classic grilled cheese is married to tasty ingredients such as hickory bacon and held together by parmesan-crusted sourdough bread.  Start with your favorite cheese, perhaps a Brie, topped with caramelized onions, apples, walnuts, and a bit of honey mustard on country bread.  The combinations are inspiring, and the result is a gooey, but crisp and satisfying take on an old favorite.  Eleven crepes, savory or sweet, and an enticing array of artisan flatbread sandwiches with names such as the Butcher, the Gobbler and the French Club, as well as omelets and waffles served all day, provide limitless choices for every appetite.\r\n\r\nBut we haven’t mentioned that Angelina’s is a coffeehouse destination serving organic Colombian coffee roasted in Sarasota.  For our java-obsessed culture, Angelina’s brings you espresso, Macchiato, Thai coffee and a lusty café Cubano.\r\n\r\nSmoothies, frappes and organic teas too numerous to mention are a bright beginning. Polish off your meal at the self-serve yogurt bar and add a few fruits, sprinkles or candies.  The atmosphere is” Miami laidback” and the locals appreciate the free Wi-Fi and the works of art by Miami artists.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Thursday and Sunday:  8:00 am - 11:00 pm\r\nFriday - Saturday: 9:00 am - 10:30 pm</strong>','ANGELINA\'S','','inherit','closed','closed','','677-revision-8','','','2013-05-03 19:41:10','2013-05-03 19:41:10','',677,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=891',0,'revision','',0),(889,1,'2014-04-30 17:39:38','2014-04-30 17:39:38','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/578550_287727661312464_175890712496160_643669_530719695_n.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-708\" title=\"578550_287727661312464_175890712496160_643669_530719695_n\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/578550_287727661312464_175890712496160_643669_530719695_n-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a>3451 NE 1st Avenue\r\n(305) 424-9588\r\nwww.salumeria104.com </strong>\r\n\r\nSalumeria 104 is more than a pleasant surprise from another of the unassuming new restaurants lining 1st Avenue in Midtown.

From the moment you enter; you are confronted by clusters of Peruvian families engaged in conversations while sipping the traditional fruit juices, a glass of sangria or perhaps the native <em>cerveza </em>Cusquena.  The restaurant is small, and the tables are close together. Pictures of Peruvian families grace the walls. A poster lists all the fruit juices with translations into English.   The waitress offers to explain the menu with a welcoming smile.\r\n\r\nTraditionally, Peruvians might start with <em>papas a la huancaina</em>, a saffron colored cheese sauce.  Sharing is an especially good idea here as with all the dishes as the portions are enormous.  Jump start the meal with a refreshing citrus marinated <em>ceviche de pescado</em> which was a striped bass on one occasion, then move on to the soups.  Two outstanding choices are the <em>Parihuela</em>, a fish and seafood soup that overwhelms the senses with a deep and lusty broth and overflowing with bass, shrimp, large and small, squid, and mussels, or the <em>Aguadito de Mariscos</em>, an exotic, bright green cilantro broth chockfull of seafood.\r\n\r\nSerious carnivors should try the <em>Lomo Saltado</em>; the house recommended dish of beef loin, sliced, sautéed and served like a giant stew piled high with peppers, onions and French fries.\r\n\r\nParking is in the rear and several tables exist outside on busy Biscayne.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Thursday: 10:00 am - 11:00pm\r\n</strong><strong>Friday - Saturday: 10:00 am - 12:30 am\r\n</strong><strong>Sunday: 8:00 am - 11:00 pm</strong>','SABOR A PERU','','inherit','closed','closed','','680-revision-11','','','2013-05-03 19:13:26','2013-05-03 19:13:26','',680,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=890',0,'revision','',0),(888,1,'2013-05-03 19:44:10','2013-05-03 19:44:10','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/crumb.preview.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-693\" title=\"crumb.preview\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/crumb.preview-300x204.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\" /></a>3930 NE 2nd Ave\r\n(305) 572-9444 </strong>\r\n\r\nCrumb on Parchment, a Michele Bernstein bakery and café, located in the atrium of the Melin building on NE 2nd Avenue that houses cutting edge furniture showrooms.  Early mornings, you’ll find interior designers dining on steel-cut oatmeal and homemade granola.  Other favorites are the French toast baguettes piled high with bananas, candied pecans and maple syrup, and the <em>Croque Madame</em> of melting cheese, Serrano ham, fried egg and <em>béchamel</em>.\r\n\r\nYou will want to return for the soup, salad and sandwich offerings at lunchtime.  Pulled rotisserie chicken with carmelized onions and apples, seared Ahi Tuna accompanied by <em>kimchi aioli</em> and grilled portobello mushroom with onion and kale, round out the “Hot and Messy” category.  Classic home-style sandwiches include a comprehensive list of chicken salad, turkey, homemade roast beef, “BLATs”, (add avocado to the traditional BLT), tuna salad and gooey grilled cheese. Fresh salads include a rustic Greek salad, Caesar, “Green Goddess” chicken, and a Greek style tuna salad.\r\n\r\nPastries and desserts are all lovingly made in- house.

Vedovi was inspired by a similar Parisian tartine shop next door to the Poilene Bakery on the left bank.\r\n\r\nThis is where hot pink neon (the outdoor signage) and tropical  banana leaves on the exterior set the stage for Miami’s introduction to  the tastiest lunch to be had in the area. The focus is on “tartines\",  defined and refined by the French as a “slice of bread.”  As in Paris, a  perfectly toasted slice of <em>poilene bread</em>,  a country sour dough bread,  is topped with choices that include filet mignon, salmon or pulled pork among others; and held together with amazing swaths of homemade mayonnaise customized for each protein.\r\n\r\nChef Alan  McLennan, is a native of South Africa who knows how to balance the  distinctive flavors, and his creative touches invariably work.  Chunks of  mushrooms and artichoke hearts are paired with a lusty tapenade, thin  slices of grilled chicken over lemony mayonnaise are finished with a sun  dried tomato and micro greens.  Smoked salmon, on a tartine of course,  marries well with grainy mustard mayonnaise, fennel and a touch of dill.  Why not celebrate the contrasts of flavors and textures with a decadent glass of Billecart-Salmon Rosé champagne?\r\n\r\nFour  salads and one soup are presently offered and the three salads sampled  measured up admirably to the mouthwatering tartines.  Shanghai chicken  salad with ginger hoisin dressing on Nappa cabbage, Nicoise salad and  Cobb salad were all extremely fresh and beautifully presented.\r\n\r\nSalads  and tartines range from $10-$15. A $10 lunchtime special is  available, serving the soup of the day and a half portion of the tartine  of your choice. Desserts include a flourless chocolate  cake accented with a smear of fresh raspberry sauce and a coconut cake.  A big draw  at the entrance is a cooler stocked with <em>Azucar</em> ice-cream made right  here in Miami\'s Little Havanna. Lavazza coffee makes a nice finish to an inventive lunch in a charming new dining spot. Outdoor dining is also available in the courtyard.\r\n\r\n<strong> Closed Sunday\r\nMonday - Saturday: 11:00 am - 8:00 pm</strong>','Mmmm','','inherit','closed','closed','','859-revision-5','','','2014-04-30 17:15:41','2014-04-30 17:15:41','',859,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=879',0,'revision','',0),(842,1,'2014-04-30 14:56:39','2014-04-30 14:56:39','<a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/bocce-exterior-e1397013647648.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-844\" title=\"bocce-exterior-e1397013647648\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/bocce-exterior-e1397013647648-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" /></a><strong>3250 Northeast 1st Ave #107\r\n(786) 245-6211\r\nbocce-bar.com</strong>\r\n\r\nBocce Bar occupies the location vacated by <em>Sustain</em>, and just a  few steps down from <em>Sugarcane</em> on NE 1st Avenue in Midtown.  This is  convenient for Executive Chef, Timon Balloo who has been at the helm of  the kitchen at Sugarcane Raw Bar and Grill for four years.  Balloo also  now presides over this newest Italian addition to the Sushi Samba empire. As the name implies, diners are indeed invited to play out front on  Miami’s first bocce court while enjoying dinner al fresco.\r\n\r\nInside,  a hostess graciously welcomes those preferring to dine in the main  dining room, and leads the way into a large space adjacent to a high  energy bar and directly in front of an open kitchen equipped with a  brick oven.\r\n\r\nA rustic atmosphere prevails, where rickety vintage wooden  chairs, tables and worn tiles underfoot, complement mismatched mirrors  on the walls.  The staff is very friendly and sometimes, a bit too  helpful. The current epidemic of small  plates continues here.  Semolina dusted crispy artichokes with mustard  seed aoli is a palate pleaser; as was a rich polenta further enhanced by a  poached egg and served aside brocolini to balance the richness.\r\n\r\nThe fromaggi  section of the menu offers three cheeses for $22 and includes a ricotta  di bufala with English peas, mint and truffles, taleggio accompanied by  walnuts, and parmigiano Reggiano with honey and grapes. While Salumi   arrives with a radicchio marmalade and giardiniera, a relish of pickled  vegetables. In the pasta category, two homemade pastas  appear, pappardelle with mushroom ragu and spaghetti with Key West  shrimp, shaved baby artichokes and bottarga.  Handcrafted pasta makes  all the difference, but orecchiette with duck and butternut squash,  likewise is a good option.\r\n\r\nMoving on to the main  dishes, the Brasato de Manzo, or slow braised short ribs lacked the  intense complex flavors and the melting texture one expects.  Try  instead, the lamb shank honey roasted, potato and citrus grilled leeks, or  the Murray farm chicken, brick oven roasted with olives, cherry  tomatoes and a pan jus you could devour with a giant spoon  This is the  real star of the Secondi, bursting with deep flavor and a truly complex  character.\r\n\r\nOne dessert is a must  here.  Honey crisp cannelloni served with warm stewed strawberries and 25  year-old balsamic and gelato is a champion recipe not to be missed.   Bocce makes it’s own Limoncello and Amaretto in house, and has a large selection of specialty drinks, many take off from the classic Negroni with Campari as the point of departure.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Thursday: 11:30 am - 11:00 pm\r\nFriday - Saturday: 11:30 am - 12:00 am\r\nSunday: 11:30 am - 11:00 pm</strong>','BOCCE BAR','','publish','closed','open','','bocce-bar','','','2014-06-14 04:37:13','2014-06-14 04:37:13','',0,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=842',0,'post','',0),(756,1,'2013-04-10 19:10:22','2013-04-10 19:10:22','','acme','','inherit','open','open','','acme','','','2013-04-10 19:10:22','2013-04-10 19:10:22','',0,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/acme.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(885,1,'2013-05-03 19:13:48','2013-05-03 19:13:48','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/57_mercato-opens_5357.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-745\" title=\"57_mercato-opens_5357\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/57_mercato-opens_5357-300x211.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" /></a>4141 NE 2nd Avenue\r\n786-332-3772\r\nMckitchenmiami.com</strong>\r\n\r\nDena Marino of Mc Kitchen has launched a charming, casual breakfast and lunch petite cafe on Second Avenue, adjacent to her fine-dining establishment.

Now open a little more than a year, he is sending out some ambitious, mouthwatering, if oversized, plates in this tiny (25 seats) interior with an additional outdoor patio. Blue Collar certainly implies the working-class are being catered to, but the crowd is also young singles, and families who are joining the crowd for a sampling of Serfer\'s widely varied American comfort food.\r\n\r\nAppetizers to \"nosh on \" seem the perfect place to start. Do not skip the shrimp and grits, which is outfitted with a Piedmontese trugole cheese charged with chunks of bacon, and a New Orleans style bbq sauce.  It doesn\'t get any better than this marriage of flavors topped off with lots of local pink shrimp. What blue-collar meal would be complete without a healthy portion of pork and beans and Berkhire sausage under an oozing egg? While \"healthy\" as in size, not as in \"nutrition,\" the menu is heavy on carbs and fried foods. The daily chalkboard always includes: Ribs with warm German potato salad, a “Parm,” that could be chicken, veal pork on angel hair with a red sauce, and a Braise which could be a tender brisket, pot roast or ox tails, accompanied by mash potatoes.\r\n\r\nI don\'t know of another eatery that offers more than 20 different vegetables, and at recession prices of $4.00 a plate. This is a vegetarian paradise of grilled asparagus topped with blue cheese, roasted butternut squash or fennel, sautéed kale and artichoke hearts in a lemon aioli among others. The choice of crispy snapper with rock shrimp, grilled Cobia, and Mahi Mahi are simple and pleasing local offerings.\r\n\r\nThirteen brews from Delaware to Belgium and some old fashioned sodas, such as orange, or black cherry cream soda, numbers among the offerings. The bread pudding is a popular conclusion to the meal.  Be ready for small tables and close quarters, but it\'s recommended over the outdoor patio, which is far too close to the Biscayne traffic.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Friday: 11:30 am - 3:30 pm\r\nMonday - Thursday, Sunday: 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm\r\nFriday - Saturday: 6:00 pm - 2:00 am\r\nSaturday - Sunday (brunch): 11:00 am - 3:30 pm</strong>','BLUE COLLAR','','inherit','closed','closed','','728-revision-8','','','2014-04-30 16:26:21','2014-04-30 16:26:21','',728,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=886',0,'revision','',0),(760,1,'2013-04-10 19:25:54','2013-04-10 19:25:54','','IMG_3380-','','inherit','open','open','','img_3380','','','2013-04-10 19:25:54','2013-04-10 19:25:54','',0,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IMG_3380-.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(762,1,'2013-04-10 19:37:06','2013-04-10 19:37:06','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/25_an-oak-tavern-grows-in-the-design-district_3844.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-763\" title=\"25_an-oak-tavern-grows-in-the-design-district_3844\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/25_an-oak-tavern-grows-in-the-design-district_3844-300x211.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" /></a>35 Northeast 40th St\r\n(786) 391-1818\r\nOaktavernmiami.com</strong>\r\n\r\nOak Tavern is a comfy rustic new entry in the heart of the Design District.  A brick archway opens onto a pleasant garden with a namesake oak tree springing from the center courtyard.  Taverns of Yore were seldom known for serving creative, or high quality fare. The weary traveler was more focused on the bar and beds. Such is not the case here, at David Bracha\'s modern day version, where the food is surprisingly tasty. Bracha\'s River Seafood and Oyster Bar has been a staple on Brickell for more than 10 years, and he knows his way with a crustacean.  Oysters and stone crabs head up the list, \"Jewels from the Sea,\" but the scallop and snapper crudos are equally well presented and pristinely fresh from the sea.\r\n\r\nA long list of small plates to satisfy everyone provides a strong supporting cast.  Bistro fare such as deviled eggs, rabbit pâté, and crispy pigs ears with kale compete for your attention. Try a perfect offering of beets with whipped goat cheese, arugula and pistachio vinaigrette, along with an heirloom tomato salad with sheep\'s milk feta. Bracha\'s has been one of Miami\'s earliest chefs to embrace buying his produce from the area farmers. Pizzas are a standout; my pick for the best is duck confit, mushrooms, oozing Fontina, and a bit of truffle, on a crisp and thin crust.\r\n\r\nOn one visit, the tavern\'s wood grill yielded a perfectly grilled Cobia topped with a medley of peas in a light lemon olive oil, and it was a triumph.

Dina Marino began cooking in her childhood home where her mother and grandmother manned the kitchen, turning out homemade pastas, sausages and creative pizzas. She honed her culinary skills at the Culinary Institute of America. Marino then worked under the tutelage of Michael Chiarello in his celebrated Tra Vigne in Napa Valley, followed by years as a chef of three of Aspen, Colorado\'s top restaurants. Upon her arrival in Miami, Dina and partner, Brandy Coletta, wasted no time giving the interior of what was formerly Fratelli Lyon, a smart new look.  White orchids on crisp tablecloths and butterflies that flutter on a Brazilian wood wall soften the main room.  The ambiance is at once sophisticated and calm; where diners can share an intimate dinner and a conversation, even when all 145 seats are occupied.\r\n\r\nSeveral remarkable antipasti spearhead the menu. I was most captivated by the artichoke heart bruschetta, which is exquisitely posed below a farm poached egg and shaved black truffles, and finished with a creamy Parmigiano fonduta. On a rather quiet evening, it appeared that the artichokes had run low and one heart was portioned among several plates. Nonetheless, the flavors sang out, and the combination was a triumph.  On a lighter note, halibut crudo was perfectly dressed in hearts of palm, baby artichoke shavings and lemon oil. Chili, garlic, basil and orange zest enlivened oven roasted langoustines over polenta. Ten pastas, mostly homemade, are currently on the winter menu. This is an area of the menu where Marino excels. The garganelli Bolognese is a lusty standout of veal, venison, pork and porcini mushrooms. The pumpkin tortellini is flush with Florida rabbit ragu, Tuscan cabbage and house made ricotta.  Signature selections include the lamb sirloin, charred outside locking in the meaty juices, and served with braised lentils, apple butter, and a frisee salad.\r\n\r\nAlso deserving of your attention and a cause for real indulgence is the Gianduia chocolate mousse crowning a sea salt sugar nest.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Sunday: 11:00 am - 4:30 pm, 5:30 pm - 11:00 pm</strong>','MC KITCHEN','','inherit','closed','closed','','751-revision-5','','','2014-04-30 17:37:10','2014-04-30 17:37:10','',751,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=884',0,'revision','',0),(883,1,'2013-05-03 19:52:47','2013-05-03 19:52:47','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/25_an-oak-tavern-grows-in-the-design-district_3844.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-763\" title=\"25_an-oak-tavern-grows-in-the-design-district_3844\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/25_an-oak-tavern-grows-in-the-design-district_3844-300x211.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" /></a>35 Northeast 40th St\r\n(786) 391-1818\r\nOaktavernmiami.com</strong>\r\n\r\nOak Tavern is a comfy rustic new entry in the heart of the Design District.  A brick archway opens onto a pleasant garden with a namesake oak tree springing from the center courtyard.  Taverns of Yore were seldom known for serving creative, or high quality fare.

Now open a little more than a year, he is sending out some ambitious, mouthwatering, if oversized, plates in this tiny (25 seats) interior with an additional outdoor patio. Blue Collar certainly implies the working-class are being catered to, but the crowd is also young singles, and families who are joining the crowd for a sampling of Serfer\'s widely varied American comfort food.\r\n\r\nAppetizers to \"nosh on \" seem the perfect place to start. Do not skip the shrimp and grits, which is outfitted with a Piedmontese trugole cheese charged with chunks of bacon, and a New Orleans style bbq sauce.  It doesn\'t get any better than this marriage of flavors topped off with lots of local pink shrimp. What blue-collar meal would be complete without a healthy portion of pork and beans and Berkhire sausage under an oozing egg? While \"healthy\" as in size, not as in \"nutrition,\" the menu is heavy on carbs and fried foods. The daily chalkboard always includes: Ribs with warm German potato salad, a “Parm,” that could be chicken, veal pork on angel hair with a red sauce, and a Braise which could be a tender brisket, pot roast or ox tails, accompanied by mash potatoes.\r\n\r\nI don\'t know of another eatery that offers more than 20 different vegetables, and at recession prices of $4.00 a plate. This is a vegetarian paradise of grilled asparagus topped with blue cheese, roasted butternut squash or fennel, sautéed kale and artichoke hearts in a lemon aioli among others. The choice of crispy snapper with rock shrimp, grilled Cobia, and Mahi Mahi are simple and pleasing local offerings.\r\n\r\nThirteen brews from Delaware to Belgium and some old fashioned sodas, such as orange, or black cherry cream soda, conclude the beverage list. The bread pudding is a popular conclusion to the meal.  Be ready for small tables and close quarters, but it\'s recommended over the outdoor patio, which is far too close to the Biscayne traffic.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Friday: 11:30 am - 3:30 pm\r\nMonday - Thursday, Sunday: 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm\r\nFriday - Saturday: 6:00 pm - 2:00 am\r\nSaturday - Sunday (brunch): 11:00 am - 3:30 pm</strong>','BLUE COLLAR','','inherit','open','open','','728-revision-5','','','2013-04-10 17:35:30','2013-04-10 17:35:30','',728,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=767',0,'revision','',0),(887,1,'2014-04-30 17:39:18','2014-04-30 17:39:18','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/The-Federal-Food-Drink-Provisions1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-723\" title=\"The Federal Food, Drink &amp; Provisions\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/The-Federal-Food-Drink-Provisions1-300x189.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" /></a>5132 Biscayne Blvd\r\n(305) 758-9559\r\nthefederalmiami.com</strong>\r\n\r\nA trio of Miamians: co-owners Cesar Zapata, Aniece Meinhold, and Alejandro Ortiz, have already experienced success with pop-up restaurant, Phuc Yeal, and Acme Bakery in Midtown.

The mood here is indisputably jeans-casual and retro. Following the trend of modern day gastropubs, the menu is divided into sections by size and sharing is encouraged. The featured jumbo lump crab cake, 3 ounces of crab served with shaved fennel, citrus and spicy remoulade is outstanding. Memorable dishes include the jar-o-duck and the juicy lamb burger with chow chow relish, pretzel bun and goat cheese.  On one occasion, the glazed double-cut pork chop had remained in the oven far too long and was returned to the kitchen. Meat is often served unconventionally. The Wellington, made from short rib not prime beef, comes simmered with bacon, mushrooms, and pearl onions beneath a potpie crust.\r\n\r\nThirteen all American  \"Brewskis\" and wines from around the world contribute to the convivial atmosphere.  Wait staff is pleasant and accommodating.  The restaurant is closed on Mondays and does not serve lunch.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday - Thursday: 6:00 pm - 10:30 pm\r\n</strong><strong>Friday - Saturday: 6:00 pm -11:00 pm\r\n</strong><strong>Sunday: 11:30 am -10:00 pm</strong>','THE FEDERAL FOOD, DRINK & PROVISIONS','','inherit','closed','closed','','720-revision-7','','','2014-04-30 17:39:18','2014-04-30 17:39:18','',720,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=887',0,'revision','',0),(769,1,'2013-04-10 19:02:06','2013-04-10 19:02:06','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/86.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-752\" title=\"86\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/86-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>4141 NE 2nd Ave #101\r\n(305) 456 - 9948\r\nmckitchenmiami.com</strong>\r\n\r\nMC Kitchen in the Design District, has the makings of a great Modern Italian restaurant i Dina Marino began cooking in her childhood home where her mother and grandmother manned the kitchen, turning out homemade pastas, sausages and creative pizzas.

My preference would be the lunchtime sandwiches, Espanol or Cubano. You can’t go wrong with the medianoche, pressed and toasted bread with either bolo ham (sweet ham) or turkey breast slathered with strawberry jam and cream cheese. At dinner, a pork dish would be appropriate; either fried, roasted or grilled. While embracing the cuisine, tempt yourself with a few croquetas of ham, pork and Swiss cheese, fried sweet plantains and the moros(rice and beans.)

Michele Bernstein, a former ballerina and previously at Azul downtown, runs this serious eatery alongside her husband David who man’s the reservation desk and expertly oversees the somewhat funky mismatched dining room.\r\n\r\nTrained in classical French cooking, Michele decided to offer innovative beautifully presented plates in two sizes, more often referencing the New American style. They took a risk opening this ambitious restaurant in an area of Biscayne bereft of fine dining. But word travels fast and bolstered by her reputation at Azul, Michey’s was an instant success. Now Michey’s only improves with age as she continues her quest for “luxurious comfort food.”\r\n\r\nSignature dishes include the jamon serrano and  blue cheese croquettas, Peruvian style ceviche and seared foie gras “n” waffles for  starters.  Falling off the bone shortribs with parsnip potato mousseline or seared halibut with wild mushroom salsify or the pan seared sole accompanied by sunchoke puree, baby artichokes, preserved lemon and olive nage are all dishes in the “transcendent” category.\r\n\r\nFor desserts I gravitate to  the baked Alaska and Michey’s ethereal bread pudding which are killer endings to  an evening at one of Miami’s best.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday - Thursday and Sunday: 6:00 pm - 10:30 pm\r\nFriday and Saturday: 5:30 pm - 11:00 pm</strong>','MICHY\'S','','inherit','open','open','','499-revision-6','','','2012-03-20 19:23:11','2012-03-20 19:23:11','',499,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=787',0,'revision','',0),(789,1,'2013-04-10 19:54:40','2013-04-10 19:54:40','<a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/bis04a.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-506\" title=\"bis04a\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/bis04a-300x204.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\" /></a><strong>6789 Biscayne Boulevard\r\n305-534-9191</strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"http://www.balans.co.uk/Restaurants_Cafes/Biscayne.php\" target=\"_blank\">balans.co.uk</a></strong>\r\n\r\nThis London based chain has popped up in locations such as Lincoln Road, Mary Brickell Village and S.

All the paninis are served on fresh ciabatta. While the cooking isn’t tricky, you can enjoy a frothy smoothy, a 3 bean salad and a pesto, goat cheese and juicy chunks of chicken panini, in this cozy, hole in a wall, sidewalk café.\r\n\r\nThe two accommodating, female, chef/owners draw from their Argentine and Moroccan heritage. The décor is strictly Bohemian and friendly. There’s free wireless internet and diners are encouraged to slow down, bring a book or check your Facebook page.

The chef, Jeff McInnis is a veteran of top chef and the Ritz Carlton. Your waiter texts your order to the chef, while you dine from communal tables. The design is minimal with steel columns and aluminum bistro chairs. Short rib meatloaf drizzled with soy molasses has already become the signature dish, but don’t hesitate to try the outstanding coconut infused risotto nestling a slowly braised duck leg accented with curry. “Gigi” bao buns, an Asian take on the ubiquitous beef ”sliders” come crowned with tasty pulled pork dusted with peanuts, pulled chicken with a smoky plantain sauce, or filled with shitaki mushrooms. Service is good and the waiters are knowledgeable concerning the ingredients and preparations. The dishes are, for the most part, quite flavorful and the side dishes, such as the cauliflower and Brussel sprouts, still linger in my thoughts. Nothing is over $20.00 and 25% of the menu is under $5.00.\r\n\r\nThe downside, for many a diner here, is the din of the chatter and bottleneck of human traffic waiting for tables, in a sliver of a holding area. Gigi’s is the latest from restauranteur, Amir Ben-Zion of Bardots, a lounge nearby, Sra Martinez and South beach’s Bond St. Sapporo and Stella Artois are on tap.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Friday: 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm\r\nMonday - Thursday: 6:00 pm - 3:00 am\r\nFriday and Saturday: 6:00 pm - 5:00 am</strong>','GIGI\'s','','inherit','open','open','','487-revision-6','','','2012-03-20 19:17:26','2012-03-20 19:17:26','',487,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=791',0,'revision','',0),(792,1,'2012-03-20 19:16:12','2012-03-20 19:16:12','<a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/5316749232_8764e9d3f1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-476\" title=\"5316749232_8764e9d3f1\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/5316749232_8764e9d3f1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>2550 NW 2nd Avenue\r\n305-722-8959\r\n<a href=\"http://www.wynwoodkitchenandbar.com \">www.wynwoodkitchenandbar.com </a></strong>\r\n\r\nDebuting during Art Basel 2010 is this American style brasserie in the heart of the gallery district.

Brunch is Saturday only.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Saturday: 11:30 am - 4:30 pm; 5:30 pm - 12:00 am</strong>','WYNWOOD KITCHEN AND BAR','','inherit','open','open','','471-revision-11','','','2013-04-10 20:30:27','2013-04-10 20:30:27','',471,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=793',0,'revision','',0),(795,1,'2012-03-20 19:11:49','2012-03-20 19:11:49','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Mercadito-11.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-212\" title=\"Mercadito 1\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Mercadito-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>3252 NE First Avenue\r\n786-369-0430\r\n<a href=\"http://www.mercaditorestaurants.com/midtown/index.php\">www.mercaditorestaurants.com</a></strong>\r\n\r\nSouthern Mexican style tapas in a handsome new space, continues to enliven the Midtown area.  A good place to start is the guacamole, either traditional or one of 4  alternative, inventive ways.  Jicama and mango or apple and tomatillo with almond and habanero add brightness and fire to this old standard.\r\n\r\nThere are 11 different tacos to choose from and three perfect ceviches to cleanse and cool the palate.  Save room for the main course,” platos fuertes,” where a chile relleno is stuffed with scallops and shrimp and drizzled with roasted tomato-arbol salsa.

This recently established area has taken off and this restaurant is at the forefront.\r\n\r\nChinese, Trinidadian chef, Timon Balloo, formerly of Chef Allen, Azul and La Broche is leading the way. The snacks and tapas categories yield mouth watering bites like bacon wrapped dates, Kobe beef sliders with quail eggs, golden beets or Florida tomatoes and strawberries with burrata.  Instead of the ubiquitous chips, with one of the 30 rums and 40 beers, savor the shishito peppers. Fantastic!.  You’ll never reach for a chip again.  The robata grill, a Japanese invention fired up with bincho-tan charcoal, is used for everything from asparagus to Korean-style short ribs.  Crudos of Atlantic salmon, fluke or yellowtail are seldom found in Miami and provide a fresh, light course.  It takes several visits to sample all the categories on this extensive menu unless you share with a group of friends.  Sushi, sashimi and specialty rolls also deserve your attention\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday - Wednesday: 11:30 am - 12:00 am\r\nThursday: 11:30 am - 1:00 am\r\nFriday and Saturday: 11:30 am - 2:00 am</strong>','SUGARCANE RAW BAR GRILL','','inherit','open','open','','84-revision-21','','','2012-03-20 18:14:28','2012-03-20 18:14:28','',84,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=804',0,'revision','',0),(805,1,'2012-03-20 18:10:08','2012-03-20 18:10:08','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/lostandfound_1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-370\" title=\"lostandfound_1\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/lostandfound_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>185 NW 36th Street\r\n305-576-1008\r\n<a href=\"http://www.thelostandfoundsaloon-miami.com/\" target=\"_blank\">www.thelostandfoundsaloon-miami.com</a></strong>\r\n\r\nDon’t worry about dressing up for this unique hole in the wall, The chandeliers are wagon wheels and the mural on the wall is of the Grand Canyon.  Cowboy chotchkies and mason jar drinking mugs keep company with a life-size John Wayne cut-out found on the way to the restrooms.  There are tables on the sidewalk and happy hour draws a big crowd.  Be prepared to wait, service is slow.  The 20 hot sauces behind the bar are great accompaniments for the black bean burger on sour dough, the quesadillas or nachos.  Lot’s of vegetarian choices those old timers never thought of.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Sunday: 11 am - 3 am\r\n</strong>','LOST AND FOUND SALOON','','inherit','open','open','','80-revision-15','','','2012-03-20 18:10:08','2012-03-20 18:10:08','',80,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=805',0,'revision','',0),(806,1,'2012-03-20 18:08:45','2012-03-20 18:08:45','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Lime-Fresh-Mexican-Grill1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-193\" title=\"Lime Fresh Mexican Grill1\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Lime-Fresh-Mexican-Grill1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>3201 North Miami Avenue\r\n305-576-5463\r\n<a href=\"http://www.limefreshmexicangrill.com/\" target=\"_blank\">www.limefreshmexicangrill.com</a></strong>\r\n\r\nAll the choices you would expect in a very casual Mexican fast food grill.

We have assembled several lists to reflect varied tastes, budgets and locations. Our first group of restaurants is within walking distance of the collection and located in the Design District. The next two groups are in the Upper East Side and Midtown neighborhoods. We have tried to include our best choices at varied prices and styles of cuisine. We welcome your comments after your visit.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Painters learn to add a small amount of grey to a green apple to emphasize the shaded areas. Cooks learn to add a pinch of a favorite spice to enhance flavor. Whenever you come across still life paintings depicting vegetables, fruits or bread, you are seeing the results of a long tradition of food in art. The Greeks, Romans and Egyptians prided themselves on realistic works of food in their art. Archaeologists have found drawings and carvings of food on the walls of ancient tombs, and the Chinese painted outdoor banquets hosted by the Emperor on long scrolls.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the 17th century, still life art flourished in Holland. Dutch painters favored painting lavish banquets for the homes of the affluent bourgeois patrons. These paintings reflected their new status and position in society. Modern still life, such as Cezanne’s famous “Apples and Oranges” are a good example of stylized representations of food in art.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Art and food, two engrossing and pleasurable subjects will continue to have many creative connections. From the hearty meals devoured by peasants on a Bruegel canvas, to works by Rembrandt, Monet and Warhol, food tells a story, illuminates who we are, and provides a focal point for our lives. Enjoy our local restaurants.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Carole Guest</p>\r\n<span style=\"color: #999999;\">Carole Guest divides her time between New York City, South Hampton and Miami where she resides during the Winter Season. She is an accomplished chef. As a busy New Yorker and food and wine connoisseur she and her husband enjoy restaurant dining. During the summers in South Hampton she takes advantage of the local organic produce from numerous farm stands. No cuisine is too daunting and each recipe is a new challenge This passion for food, combined with her love of art is the reason why she created this site for the de la Cruz collection.

From the moment you enter; you are confronted by clusters of Peruvian families engaged in conversations while sipping the traditional fruit juices, a glass of sangria or perhaps the native <em>cerveza </em>Cusquena.  The restaurant is small, and the tables are close together. Pictures of Peruvian families grace the walls. A poster lists all the fruit juices with translations into English.   The waitress offers to explain the menu with a welcoming smile.\r\n\r\nTraditionally, Peruvians might start with <em>papas a la huancaina</em>, a saffron colored cheese sauce.  Sharing is an especially good idea here as with all the dishes as the portions are enormous.  Jump start the meal with a refreshing citrus marinated <em>ceviche de pescado</em> which was a striped bass on one occasion, then move on to the soups.  Two outstanding choices are the <em>Parihuela</em>, a fish and seafood soup that overwhelms the senses with a deep and lusty broth and overflowing with bass, shrimp, large and small, squid, and mussels, or the <em>Aguadito de Mariscos</em>, an exotic, bright green cilantro broth chockfull of seafood.\r\n\r\nSerious carnivors should try the <em>Lomo Saltado</em>; the house recommended dish of beef loin, sliced, sautéed and served like a giant stew piled high with peppers, onions and French fries.\r\n\r\nParking is in the rear and several tables exist outside on busy Biscayne.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Thursday: 10:00 am - 11:00pm\r\n</strong><strong>Friday - Saturday: 10:00 am - 12:30 am\r\n</strong><strong>Sunday: 8:00 am - 11:00 pm</strong>','SABOR A PERU','','inherit','open','open','','680-revision-10','','','2013-04-10 19:45:08','2013-04-10 19:45:08','',680,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=814',0,'revision','',0),(815,1,'2013-04-10 19:40:31','2013-04-10 19:40:31','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/57_mercato-opens_5357.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-745\" title=\"57_mercato-opens_5357\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/57_mercato-opens_5357-300x211.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" /></a>4141 NE 2nd Avenue\r\n786-332-3772\r\nMckitchenmiami.com</strong>\r\n\r\nDena Marino of Mc Kitchen has launched a charming, casual breakfast and lunch petite cafe on Second Avenue, adjacent to her fine-dining establishment.

She honed her culinary skills at the Culinary Institute of America. Marino then worked under the tutelage of Michael Chiarello in his celebrated Tra Vigne in Napa Valley, followed by years as a chef of three of Aspen, Colorado\'s top restaurants. Upon her arrival in Miami, Dina and partner, Brandy Coletta, wasted no time giving the interior of what was formerly Fratelli Lyon, a smart new look.  White orchids on crisp tablecloths and butterflies that flutter on a Brazilian wood wall soften the main room.  The ambiance is at once sophisticated and calm; where diners can share an intimate dinner and a conversation, even when all 145 seats are occupied.\r\n\r\nSeveral remarkable antipasti spearhead the menu. I was most captivated by the artichoke heart bruschetta, which is exquisitely posed below a farm poached egg and shaved black truffles, and finished with a creamy Parmigiano fonduta. On a rather quiet evening, it appeared that the artichokes had run low and one heart was portioned among several plates. Nonetheless, the flavors sang out, and the combination was a triumph.  On a lighter note, halibut crudo was perfectly dressed in hearts of palm, baby artichoke shavings and lemon oil. Chili, garlic, basil and orange zest enlivened oven roasted langoustines over polenta. Ten pastas, mostly homemade, are currently on the winter menu. This is an area of the menu where Marino excels. The garganelli Bolognese is a lusty standout of veal, venison, pork and porcini mushrooms. The pumpkin tortellini is flush with Florida rabbit ragu, Tuscan cabbage and house made ricotta.  Signature selections include the lamb sirloin, charred outside locking in the meaty juices, and served with braised lentils, apple butter, and a frisee salad.\r\n\r\nAlso deserving of your attention and a cause for real indulgence is the Gianduia chocolate mousse crowning a sea salt sugar nest.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Sunday: 11:00 am - 4:30 pm, 5:30 pm - 11:00 pm</strong>','MC KITCHEN','','inherit','open','open','','751-revision-3','','','2013-04-10 19:40:13','2013-04-10 19:40:13','',751,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=818',0,'revision','',0),(819,1,'2013-04-10 18:04:57','2013-04-10 18:04:57','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/The-Federal-Food-Drink-Provisions1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-723\" title=\"The Federal Food, Drink &amp; Provisions\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/The-Federal-Food-Drink-Provisions1-300x189.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" /></a>5132 Biscayne Blvd\r\n(305) 758-9559\r\nthefederalmiami.com</strong>\r\n\r\nA trio of Miamians: co-owners Cesar Zapata, Aniece Meinhold, and Alejandro Ortiz, have already experienced success with pop-up restaurant, Phuc Yeal, and Acme Bakery in Midtown. Now they have set up shop in a small strip shopping center on Biscayne and 51st as the Federal Food, Drink &amp; Provisions.\r\n\r\nThis is definitely a neighborhood-meeting place with a relentlessly rustic and funky decor. The mood here is indisputably jeans-casual and retro. Following the trend of modern day gastropubs, the menu is divided into sections by size and sharing is encouraged. The featured jumbo lump crab cake, 3 ounces of crab served with shaved fennel, citrus and spicy remoulade is outstanding. Memorable dishes include the jar-o-duck and the juicy lamb burger with chow chow relish, pretzel bun and goat cheese.  On one occasion, the glazed double-cut pork chop had remained in the oven far too long and was returned to the kitchen. Meat is often served unconventionally. The Wellington, made from short rib not prime beef, comes simmered with bacon, mushrooms, and pearl onions beneath a potpie crust.\r\n\r\nThirteen all American  \"Brewskis\" and wines from around the world contribute to the convivial atmosphere.  Wait staff is pleasant and accommodating.  Restaurant is closed on Mondays and does not serve lunch.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday - Thursday: 6:00 pm - 10:30 pm\r\n</strong><strong>Friday - Saturday: 6:00 pm -11:00 pm\r\n</strong><strong>Sunday: 11:30 am -10:00 pm</strong>','THE FEDERAL FOOD, DRINK & PROVISIONS','','inherit','open','open','','720-revision-5','','','2013-04-10 18:04:57','2013-04-10 18:04:57','',720,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=819',0,'revision','',0),(820,1,'2012-03-20 17:43:51','2012-03-20 17:43:51','<strong><a href=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Mandolin2.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-249\" title=\"Mandolin2\" src=\"http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Mandolin2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>4312 2nd Avenue\r\n305-576-6066\r\n<a href=\"http://www.mandolinmiami.com/\" target=\"_blank\">www.mandolinmiami.com</a></strong>\r\n\r\nAn authentic Aegean bistro, this family owned neighborhood restaurant is a great casual find.  Decompress in the garden in the back under a sprawling tree where mezes, either the Turkish or Greek sampler are a great way to begin.  Enjoy generous sized portions of lemony fava bean puree, smoked eggplant, tzatziki, hummus with the sesame-flecked Turkish flatbread served hot from the oven.  The staff is friendly, the prices are reasonable and the classic dishes couldn’t be better.

The bar and adjacent dining room reverberate with the murals and paintings of street art provocateur, Shephard Fairey and the abstract paintings by the architect, Christian Awe. Outdoors, a spacious courtyard provides a third alternative on one of Miami’s many warm weather days. Here too, murals capture the eye in every direction.\r\n\r\nWynwood Kitchen and Bar is the creation of Tony Goldman and his daughter, Jessica Goldman Srebnick. Tony, also owner of Joey’s Café, is the ambitious developer who helped transform Soho and Chelsea in NYC into hip cultural neighborhoods.\r\n\r\nSmall plates are a hit here. Crispy artichokes, tomato gazpacho accented with watermelon, the Mediterranean platter( hummas, baba ghanoush and tabbouleh ) and a seafood ceviche bathed in lemongrass and coconut are all outstanding beginnings.\r\n\r\nThe menu serves both lunch and dinner and covers all bases from a choice of 6 omelettes to hearty burgers of beef, tuna, turkey and more.  The clay pots such as snapper and mussel curry with charred pineapple and braised pork with garlic crumbs and mint were surprisingly good. Brunch is Saturday only.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday - Saturday: 11:30 am - 4:30 pm; 5:30 pm - 12:00 am</strong>','WYNWOOD KITCHEN AND BAR','','inherit','open','open','','471-revision-12','','','2013-04-10 20:30:36','2013-04-10 20:30:36','',471,'http://delacruzcollection.org/restaurant_blog/?p=823',0,'revision','',0),
