Apt. 9F

The Best Things We Ate This Week

"Turkey Meatballs And Baked Goat Cheese Like many people, we’ve been trying to find ways to avoid Miami’s hotspots during the month of March, which led us up to the magical, distant land of Wilton Manors and right through the doors of Apt 9F. This is a cozy queer-owned lounge serving classic cocktails, like vieux carrés and sazeracs, along with some small bites. The extremely warm and welcoming staff recommended pairing the turkey meatballs with the baked goat cheese, and now we’ll never order one without the other. The meatballs are tender, rich, and swimming in a puddle of nutty salsa verde. The goat cheese is smothered in a homemade apricot and peppadew jam that’s tart, mildly sweet, and has the perfect kick. Add a little bit of both to a slice of the accompanying crusty bread and you'll be very glad you made the journey to Broward." - ryan pfeffer, carlos c olaechea
