A brief walk from the nearby Hotel Confidante on a pleasant Thursday evening brought our party of three to The Social Club recently. We were seated outside, where a warm breeze and the Miami Beach views greeted us.
The small plates really spoke to us, so we asked for the following for the table:
Cheese + Charcuterie - A diverse board containing three or four delicious cheeses, a selection of nuts, olives, honeycomb, a few cured meats (salami, prosciutto) as well as some thin sliced ham and crispy bread slices, this dish had something for everyone.
Argentinian prawn and Gulf shrimp - Served in a rich and decidedly spicy cognac based sauce, this was a shrimp lover's delight. The large prawn yielded tender, delicious meat, as did the more modestly sized shrimp. Definitely sop up that sauce!
Empanadas - The selection of four left our group fighting over the last one. Crispy exteriors yielded warm, rich, delicious fillings of chicken and peppers, beef and tomato, tomato caprese, and chorizo and peppers, A trio of sauces including a garlic aioli, chimichurri, and aji chili really amped up the flavor of this dish. Highly recommended.
Golden reverse Oreo - We couldn't resist a selection from the dessert menu, and this one was a winner. Featuring a vanilla cookie, chocolate, and a cream cheese ganache, it was delicious without being overly sweet. A great capper to a delicious meal.
This place was definitely a winner!
