Pubbelly Sushi Review

// October 18th, 2011 // No Comments » // Food

From the guys (Andreas Schreiner, Jose Mendin, Sergio Navarro) that brought you Pubbelly, comes its new little piggy – Pubbelly Sushi!

The place is trendy without being obnoxious, fantastically friendly service and kick ass food! Here’s what we devoured and our favorites!

Snacks:
Tostones de Pana – hamachi ceviche, crispy breadfruit, cilantro & ginger soy (top fav)
Shishito Peppers – raita, pine nuts, roasted red peppers, cumin salt
Rockshrimp Tempura – buffalo aioli, blue cheese, pickled carrots, ao nori (top fav)

Rolls:
Yellowtail – green soy paper, truffle yuzu, snow crab, nori flakes

Sashimi:
Hamachi Jalapeño – lemon soy, cilantro, roasted poblanos (top fav)

New England Style Buns:
Spicy Tuna – frites & scallions
Fried Clams – coleslaw & lemon (top fav)

Dessert:
Asian Style Creme Brûlée – (can’t remember the ingredients, sorry!)

Overall Success… another great reason to leave the main land and venture into the beach.

PS Drool over the pics!

Haven Review

// October 18th, 2011 // No Comments » // Food

This is the ultimate cool lounge to bring in your out-of-town guests for the South Beach experience yet also cool enough and hip for locals.

Decor is all neon lights (but not cheesy) with hundreds of little lights on the ceiling, one panoramic screen surrounding the club alternating scenes and gorgeous looking people.

Tasted all of the following cocktails, each one unique and clever: Quiver, Pop Drop, Fever, Haven

Food is from a charming  and southern Chef Todd Erickson. Ate half the menu and it was all delicious: Lobster Scallop Crudo, Sea Monster Crudo , Water Salad, Maki Peru Roll, BBQ Eel Roll, Vegetarian Slider, Day Boat Slider, Crab Cake Slider, Tater Tots and last but not least, Captain Crunch Nitro Ice Cream.

Harry’s Pizzeria Review

// October 18th, 2011 // No Comments » // Food

Amazing… What else can you expect from  Michael Schwartz? Everything was perfect…

Funny enough, half the stuff I’ve made from his cooking book and I ordered them just to compare it with my homemade versions and of course it was 10x better lol Example: his homemade ricotta, polenta fries and even his pizza dough (with a little bit of honey). Speaking of which, had two pies. Check out the pics.

Braised Fennel – trugole, basil, caramelized onion and green olives

Pesto – homemade ricotta, mozzarella, pecorino and fresh tomatoes

Congrats to Miami’s finest pizzeria!
