This is the 4th restaurant that I visited during Miami Spice and the most generous one so far. If you're a seafood fan like me, their $39 Miami Spice menu is for sure worth checking out. The portions here are bigger than your average Miami Spice selections including the Surf and Turf with 6 oz Lobster Tail. The restaurant is large and open with an old skool steakhouse feel. It still got full even on a Sunday but luckily there were 2 servers for every table so we received great attention during service.
We started with Baby Calamari "Sweet Heat" (lightly fried fresno chilies red and yellow holland peppers edamame) and Jumbo Lump Maryland Crab Cake. The fresh calamari was not rubbery with a nice spicy kick and the crumbling lumps of crab were tasty. For entrees, I got the Surf and Turf (Nova Scotia Lobster Tail w/ Petite Filet Mignon) and my buddies got the New York Strip and Lobster Stuffed Lobster. All I can say is that my Surf and Turf was satisfying, both portion and preparation. Lobster was fresh and meaty, and the filet was juicy medium rare. I had a bite of the stuffed lobster and it was good too. For desserts, we shared the Profiteroles (mini puffs, vanilla ice cream, Valrhona dark choc sauce, sugar roasted almonds), Tropical Cremeux (passion fruit, tonka bean mousse, almond coconut biscuit, sorbet) and Greek Yogurt w/ toasted walnuts. The Cremeux and Profiteroles were, of course, delicious but we didn't expect much from the Greek Yogurt. We were wrong! It was also scrumptious. Definitely not your ordinary yogurt and worth trying.
I also tried a couple of cocktails, Morpheus and Mykonos, which were gin-based martinis. Both well prepped, strong and refreshing. And that's what expect from any reputable Seafood and Steakhouse. Great quality, good preparation, and excellent service.
Their valet parking starts at 5:30 and I think it's only $10. FYI, metered parking is about $4 per hour in Miami Beach.
