7 Restaurants To Go To When You’re Not Paying - Miami - The Infatuation

"It’s worth practicing your sad puppy eyes in the mirror to coerce someone into paying for Tambourine Room’s $265 ten-course tasting menu. The sort of skill needed to pull off this many purees and espumas without eliciting eye rolls is rare. Depending on the season, the menu might include scallops with seared foie gras in arugula foam or venison strip loin with a coffee and yuzu hollandaise. The fine dining restaurant is located inside the Carillon Resort, and although we don’t love the ambiance in the strangely lit dining room, the exceptional food and service are what you’ll remember. If those sad puppy eyes don’t work, you can always wait for summer when the menu is pared down to five courses for $169." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
