Courtyard by Marriott Miami Downtown

Category: Hotels

1/23/2012

There are plenty of better alternatives in the downtown Miami area. Not at all impressed with the Courtyard. Noisy AC in the room and no thermostat so you spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to set the AC. The Internet access is like syrup, not even good enough to stream a Netflix movie. Only Decaff in the room for coffee and when I asked the front desk how to get CBS TV to work I was told by the staff he wasn't knowledgable of how the TV selection worked so there was nothing I could. Probably the worst part of the stay so far is the recorded phone message that rang my room at 5 AM this morning welcoming me to the Marriott. I stay at Marriott properties all over the world this one is subpar, in a not so great area, a bit run down and has low service. Avoid and go somewhere else.

Funky Monkey Wine Company

Not a bad alternative in the tourist driven arena of Orlando and International drive. Ate here with friends while on 5 day business trip to Micky land and it was nice to avoid the Disney centric eateries for the Funky Monkey. Nice food, darn good sushi and a pretty good wine selection. It was a nice comfortable place to enjoy dinner. I'm in Orlando a few times a year and would eat here again.

Excellent Food Truck experience! Nice guys running this business and they understand how to make a burrito. Ingredients are fresh and they didn't skimp on the chicken. I work in an office park with only one deli so its great to have the food truck culture arrive here. Its a great $6 burrito and a nice alternative for my otherwise small list of options. Keep up the good work guys!!

Keep walking nothing to see here. Ugh I don't have high standards for most mall food courts but is it too much to ask for a salad that's not brown and Gyro meat that's not hard and over cooked. Yuck I won't eat here again. The staff is slow and didn't seem to care much when I complained about the food. There are a bunch of places to grab a bite in the Flatirons mall take the Med off your list.

Island Dining Room

I included this review in my line up to help people staying at the Lowe's resort and hotel. Overall I really like the resort and have stayed here four times. The Island Dining Room is a nice alternative for a fast lunch or breakfast while you are staying at the hotel. I especially like the Cuban sandwich its well made, smoking hot and is by far my favorite dish oh their menu.

I also like that the staff understand that not everyone here is a tourist they are willing to accommodate moving tables to put groups together and don't mind if your having a meeting over breakfast or lunch. Prices are little high but on average for a Florida resort.

Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant

I eat here a lot, they have an excellent beer selection and a huge variety of food. The reason for my review was the chicken avocado sandwich I had last time we were there. It was probably the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. The ice cold beer and eating outdoors made for a great dinner. The service and staff are great and they do a good job of making you feel important even when they are busy busy busy. Its an excellent place to kick off a movie evening or date night.

Emeril's Tchoup Chop

Categories: Asian Fusion, Seafood

11/13/2011

I have to say my favorite part of the meal was dessert. That's not to say anything negative about the food in fact its really good but how do you not start a review of Tchoup Chop without starting at the Root beer sundae. It was fantastic and brought back excellent memories of childhood past.

I also had the filet with peppercorn sauce its was perfect. Staff and service were great as well. I would eat here again.

Augustus Cafe

I have eaten here a bunch of times and I have to say that I've never been impressed. I have always found the staff to be basically rude and in a hurry to turn the table over. They don't like it when you stay too long so make sure your having a fast breakfast or lunch meeting when you eat here. The overall quality of the food is fine and if your on your way back to your room after a night of gambling fun its an ok alternative. If you have time go somewhere else. Las Vegas has tons of great restaurants. I'd suggest Denny's across the street as a much cheaper alternative.

I Love Burgers

The caprese burger with balsamic shoestring potatoes was really very good. The service here is great, nice, happy hard working people. Its a nice alternative to the standard Las Vegas restaurants. Much like everything else in the Palazzo its expensive especially for a burger place but that aside its worth a stop. I also liked that you can get a beer not always available at a burger joint.

Mizuna

4/20/2011

Its always nice when a restaurant delivers on its reputation. Ratings here on Yelp for Mizuna have been very strong and this evening didn't disappoint. Hi had the Stuffed Diver Scallop with Manila Clams, Chorizo, Shellfish Nage. The scallop was perfectly cooked and the chorizo was an interesting addition. For an entree I had Colorado Rack of Lamb Cassoulet Confit Lamb Shank, Garlic Sausage, Heirloom Beans it was fantastic. Full of deep flavors and the portion was just right. Everyone else at the table had the Atlantic Monkfish with Butter Poached Spot Prawns, English Peas, Prawn Nage. My wife said that the fish was the best she has had in a very long time. I'd put Mizuna on your list and give it a try. We already have reservations to go back in two weeks.
