Will return.
We had a reservation at this Peruvian seafood restaurant on Sunday but our friends got stranded in SoBe (South Beach).
Delicious food and wine, with good service. The decor is heavy. Is it inspired by the movie Avatar? Jungle, a bejeweled Elizabeth Taylor with heavy make up.
It’s 82 degree day in Miami, the outdoor section and the bar are wide open; the strong fans (yes kind of noisy…) blows enough cool air that I need a shawl.
The two art works on the wall at the bar remind me of Avatar. The decor is rather tacky and busy but the delicious wines and food, plus good service can certainly off set that.
Love their substantial utensil, but not the wine glasses – too thick. The bar counter doesn’t have hooks for handbags but the bartender is nice to bring me a stand, thanks.
We’ve four small plates
Crunchy corn (what’s the big fat corn)
1. Cevichi classico: must have
2. Anticucho filet: must have
3. Acevichado: tuna roll, excellent
4. Taco tartar: crunchy and creamy
The ceviche has two kinds of corn kernels: a regular sized one, they made it crunchy; and a creamy colored fat one, that became big after cooking, per the bar tender. Both are great.
The tuna roll: I usually eat the sushi rolls with soy sauce and wasabi. Recalling Mike Wagner (of Billions tv series) admonishing two young traders at a omakase counter for bathing their pieces in soy sauce (was it soy sauce?) … so … I braved the new world, ate it without any aid – it was delicious.
I think their cooking is a slight notch above Sixty Vines – both are great.
Who’s responsible to clean up in the bathroom: the patrons pick up after themselves or the restaurant?
A young staff came in the bathroom after me and said (I think), “let me clean than you take a photo.”
I said (hope she understood my Chinglish as well) that … if a patron made a mess, maybe she should clean it up herself.
… sometimes it’s the kid, she said (I think)
But the kid is taught by their parents?
I don’t have an answer for it, but I do clean up myself bec I care.
