Went for a fast lunch today and the food (+ service) was... excellent! The menu had a great assortment of unique food choices and I chose the steak pita with Mint yogurt dressing.. huge portion, tender steak & killer flavor.. I want another one NOW (lol).

Anyway the client ordered a steak salad and Sangria along with the date bread w/toffee sauce & ice cream (Mmmm, Delish!).

Overall, an awesome new locals hideout in place of the old Joe Allen.

Looking forward to lunch again here next week and I'll probably get the same thing again!!

After reading so many neutral (some negative) reviews I was skeptical but I pass the burger joint daily and was in the mood for a burger. I was totally blown away by the service and food. I ordered a regular hamburger with the works and sweet potato fries. It was KILLER; lean beef on an awesome bun. The sweet potato fries are usually hit or miss and this place doers them RIGHT! I also got a bloody mary after spending the afternoon before on the rooftop of Gansevoort (somewhat of a hangover) and the drink was as good as Blue Heaven in Key West. The service was A+ and although I don't eat many burgers, I will be back soon!

Went with friends last night after they pumped up the Brie & Lamb Shank.

Shankfully, I was with cool friends b/c the service was crap as was the food. The brie was missing it 'all' including the pita bread and garlic honey sauce and when we brought it to her attention, she only repeated what we said with a hypnotized look of stupidity.

We speculated they were being held up in the back and hoping to get us out of there (we were the only table!) .. The lamb shank was a big bone, bland and I was ready to scramble outta there like Fred Flintstone. After asking twice for more water and the check, the server with zero personality & experience (waiting on only 1 table), finally brought it. Just as we stood up the three legged table fell over with all the glasses.. OUCH! What a bad dinner experience.

We went last night for the first night of All You Can Eat Stone Crabs. Good thing we arrived early as it was reservations only and we got the last 2 seats at the bar. The Stone Crabs were excellent, the lobster bisque very good while the creamed spinach wasn't worth a second bite. My girlfriend ordered the Tuna steak and liked it but regrets not getting the Stone Crabs. I think after 30+ minutes of watching me have all the fun, she really wanted some. After 10 very large & sweet stone crabs, I was stuffed and we'll definitely be back! They advertised at $35 but it was $42 a la carte. Go get it every Friday!!

Fun crowd.
Service was stellar.
Atmosphere was great w/very good lounge music ie) Sinatra
Prices reasonable.
Valet $10 or park across the street at meters.

I've been a member of Beach Body for over 2.5 years using everything from weights, cardio, tanning, supplements and salon. It's got it all at a very reasonable price with membership access to the Deauville resort. The owner is consistently practicing Kaizen or the art of improvements.

Park across the street or the public parking lot 3 blocks South.

What's not to like?!

Epicure Market

Sunny Isles Beach Epicure is the best fresh food market around... Not only great, fresh cooked food served fast but also a bakery and coffee bar plus a large selection of beer, wine and hard to find gourmet items.

Give me an order of the curry chicken salad and a healthy side OR a house coffee and guava cheese danish and I'm all set! Perfect pit stop when I'm in between property showings at JADE or O4 and all around my favorite place for lunch right behind Miami Juice.

I'm stuck on the fresh yellow tail snapper sandwich and sweet potato fries. It's become a staple and the amount of fish on the sandwich is NICE!

Definitely my favorite seafood restaurant and well worth the 20 minute drive! I've heard they deliver their fresh catch to the SoBe's high end restaurants; wouldn't doubt it!

    Lookout fresh fish market in Miami... This hidden gem was obsolete from my 9 years of living here until my friend, who's a captain, urged me to go.. The place is as simple as it gets (paper towels and plastic utensils) and yet has the freshest catch in Miami Dade. Buy fish straight off the boat or have the cook grill, blacken or fry for a delicious sandwich with sweet potato fries ($10)! Mmmm.. The free crab salads a nice start too. Trust me SoBe it's worth the mapping to get there!

I noticed the new local Kabobji menu in the KH mail room; I went by to check out the 'steak shish kabob pita wrap' and ended up ordering 2 other menu items as the food was that good!

3 wraps (dinner baby) and the total bill was $23.00! Fresh, large wraps loaded with meat (chicken, lamb steak) and the flavors.. an explosion of awesome.

PS. Try the spicy garlic sauce and the yogurt sauce.

I'll be eating here weekly!

Went in tonight after a friend bragged on the early bird special. The food was B+ or A-OK... a romantic dinner well worth the (half price) $10 entrees. I had the crab ravioli and they may have forgotten to put crab in it but it was filled with something good. My girlfriend got the penne vodka which was a huge bowl of pasta and tasted great along with the calamari appetizer which we split. Generous portions and enough for 2 people to split. The total bill with tip was only $33 and an awesome value!
