The Blue Door - Review - West Palm Beach - Miami - The Infatuation

"The Blue Door serves Mediterranean food so simple it looks a little boring. It’s not—the focus here is on taste, not fussy presentations. So even though their tomato salad looks like it was made by someone who needs a new prescription for their contacts, the tomatoes are fresh, sweet, and perfectly dressed. Most tables here are outside, which makes it a great winter spot. When the weather is nice, locals clump at the bar to drink mezcal mules, and the bleach-white patio fills up with folks who want to see and be seen eating tuna carpaccio. We can’t say the same for summer, even though a small army of fans try their best to cool things off. But we’d come back in the dead of August for the lamb chops. video credit: Virginia Otazo video credit: Virginia Otazo video credit: Virginia Otazo Pause Unmute Food Rundown Lamb Chops These lamb chops could turn a Palm Beach heiress feral. Because once you get a taste of that crackly, seasoned crust, you’ll start drawing territorial lines around your plate. photo credit: Virginia Otazo Gnocchi These gnocchi are so light and fluffy, the only thing preventing them from floating to Pluto is the buttery, rich sauce filled with sausage and warm mushrooms.

Even though it’s upstaged, the sticky toffee pudding is bouncier and sweeter than a trampoline full of puppies. PlayMute video credit: Virginia Otazo" - Virginia Otazo
