Unlike Wikipedia’s definition for Tongue-in-cheek, “a figure of speech used to imply that a statement or other production is humorously or otherwise not seriously intended, and it should not be taken at face value”, Tongue & Cheek‘s food and service is seriously good.  Some friends and I popped in for happy hour and worked our […]

We had a delicious meal at this tiny little jewel, in a strip center in the Village of Pinecrest. They have an extensive menu that includes many vegetarian options, which is a must when eating out with my daughter.

My brother had told me about this restaurant when it first opened, but I hadn’t made it by.  After it was written up in the Herald a couple of weeks ago, I decided to go by for a late lunch after showing properties on Miami Beach. The casual atmosphere, tasty food, and great service make […]

Focaccia Bistro in the Grove is a small, charming restaurant that reminded me of the more intimate restaruants in San Francisco.  On the night that we went, the place was at capacity, which overwhelmed the staff but did not detract at all from the pleasant experience.  It was not noisy, suprising giving how close the […]
