Friday and Saturday we went to Café Martarano at Seminole Hard rock Hotel and Zuma at Epic Hotel.
Martarano was amazing. Meatballs, calamari, salad and chicken Martarano. I'd give it a 10/10 but had to deduct 1 point for having a bathroom attendant. Who the hell ever decided it was classy to have a guy in the bathroom turning on the tap for me.
9/10
Zuma is simply the best! Best food, best service, best scene. My favorite restaurant in Miami or anywhere.
10/10

Shorty's BBQ for lunch
Yesterday we went for lunch at a Miami icon
since 1951 – Shorty’s BBQ.
We went to the Davie restaurant instead of
the original on Dixie Highway
I ordered the baby back ribs and spare rib
combo and Mona had the BBQ chicken.
Baby back ribs were great, spare ribs were
OK although Mona liked the spare ribs better. Chicken was dry. Fries were
great.
Bill was $30 incl tip
Wasn’t worth the long drive.
7.5/10

Update on BURGERFI review
Several people noted that you could not review a burger restaurant without testing the fries and I agree so I went back.
The fries are very good but had too much salt for my liking. Not as good as Lafleurs or the old Chalet Bar-B-Q.
Still a keeper I will return to.

EOS at Viceroy Hotel in downtown Miami
On Saturday we went to EOS at the Viceroy
Hotel in downtown Miami.
I went because the Open Table reviews were
great and I thought maybe it might be ZUMA-like in scene.
As we walked in I found out I was very,
very wrong. At 9 m on a Saturday night we were almost the only people in the restaurant.
IT WAS EMPTY!
The restaurant was beautiful and the tables
seated you facing out the windows looking at downtown Miami.
The food was very good and so was the
service given that they had no one else to serve.
Prices were reasonable. $140 for two with 2
drinks.
Valet parking was $9.00.
I will not go back but food was an 8/10.

Trulock's in downtown Miami
Went to Trulock’s in downtown Miami on
Friday night.
Trulock’s is a high-end steak and seafood
restaurant such as Joe’s, Prime 112, Capital Grill, Morton’s or The Palm.
Beautiful décor, great service and a
typical menu for these types of restaurants.
The food was good but no better than any of
the others mentioned above so I will not being going back given its location
relative to the others.
Bill was $170 per couple with $10 valet
parking.
8/10

PEI WEI by P.F. Changs on Biscayne
If you like P.F. Changs, you will like PEI
WEI, its ‘fast-food’ version in Promenade Mall on Biscayne.
Same food quality, less choice, lunch-size
portions, fast-food format i.e. you order at counter and wait for your food.
Both meals we ordered were typically P.F.
Changs.
Bill was $24.00 for 2 meals, 2 sodas and 1
appetizer.
I am a PF Chang fan, so I rate PEI WEI an
8.5/10 for what it is.
