Sugarcane Restaurant in Midtown Miami

Last night we dined at trendy Sugarcane Raw Bar Grill.  It is located in the up and coming area known as Midtown Miami.  It has been open since February of this year.  The location is just a short 15 minute drive from most areas of the city and the beach.
The menu consists of a variety of international "tapas" that are meant to be shared by your party.  The atmosphere is pleasant and welcoming.  Guests are encouraged to relax, try the many delicious tapas or beers on tap and have a great time.
Our server was informative and hospitable.  One of the owners and the general manager came by our table to welcome us and ensure our meal was enjoyable.
We had a wonderful evening, reveling in the company of good friends with savory selections from the extensive choices on the menu, and just experiencing the ambiance and the city.  The meal lasted about 4 hours.  We were not rushed, rather encouraged to stay as long as we wanted to eat, drink and be merry.

We ordered several tapas and each one was better than the last.  Some of the items we ordered were:
wedge salad
veal meatballs
duck and waffles
bacon wrapped dates

goat cheese croquettes / membrillo marmalade
housemade chorizo / garbanzo bean purée / red grapes
brussels sprouts / orange / sweet soy
kobe beef slider / tonkatsu / quail egg
skirt steak / chimichurri
sweet potatoes / maple soy
crunchy tuna sushi roll
