Tips, updates and “heads up” for you foodies out there…..

  • Regrettably Little Asian Kitchen closed its doors. Hopefully the chef will soon open a new place, but no word as yet.
  • When Il Gabbiano  335 S Biscayne Blvd (T. (305) 373-0063) opened I was a frequent diner but then had one disappointing experience after another. After several friends spoke highly of it recently, I decided to check it out again for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The place, as always, is lovely, with its water views, bountiful food display at the entrance, and adore those crisp white jackets (oh so European) on the waiters. My friend and I shared the grilled vegetables and linguine alla vongole. It’s now on my list for a repeat visit. Stay tuned for an upcoming review.
  • Just three days left for fresh stone crabs at Joe’s, so take advantage. They don’t seem to promote it much, but they have a lunch special called Joe’s Classic. It comes with an order of coleslaw, 3 stone crab selects, hash browns, creamed spinach and half an order of key lime pie. A deal at $33.
  • The always wonderful Haven Gastro Lounge , 1237 Lincoln Road, debuts a new menu this month. Keep in mind their Happy Hour, 6 to 8 p.m. Ideal for a before the movies or New World Symphony drink and light bite.
  • If you go to the new Epicure in Coral Gables, 4711 Le Jeune Road,  don’t miss Bottega La Dolce Vita, 4710 Le Jeune Road, especially on weekends when they get in their Tuscan bread. I also overheard one of the Bottega’s owners saying they cook Italian menus for dining parties
  • Pinecrest Gardens Farmer’s Market is now open year round.

Bon appetit! Buen provecho! Any tips you’d like to share?
