Dining Al Fresco on Lincoln Road

South Beach is such a vibrant place...  its wonderful to just hang out on Lincoln Road.  There is something for everyone, and you are sure to have a great time.  Friday evening we dined al fresco at Tiramesu, 721 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139. 
**
We were a party of 20 which included 8 children.  The service was good, the meal was delicious, the ambiance was pleasant and the prices were extremely reasonable.

I ordered a glass of the Malbec wine by the glass and it was nice but too warm to drink with the temperature outside, the following drink was a Lemondrop and that was prepared well.  My friends were all satisfied with their choices although the drinks took awhile to arrive.  We ordered the second round soon after the first  to allow for the second drinks to arrive more promptly.

There are 3 menus to order from.  They have the regular menu, the menu with specials and the Prix Fixe menu. 

Although the Prix Fixe menu was very appealing, I opted for the Sea Bass from the regular menu (fresh imported Mediterranean seabass fillet stuffed with crab meat, potatoes and artichokes in a white truffle flavored Chardonnay wine sauce). 
I also had the Della Casa mixed greens side salad (mixed greens, cherry tomatoes and fennel tossed with Maldon sea salt and Lake Garda EVOO) and several "tastes" of my husband's Melanzane al Caprino (Fried Eggplant layered with goat cheese served with an apple vinaigrette) and Linguine Carbonara (Housemade Linguine tossed with pancetta, egg, cream and Parmesan cheese).

Although not the healthiest entree, my husband and I thought the Linguine Carbonara was exceptional.  My friends were pleased with their meals as well.

The meal was enjoyable, well -priced, and the service was good.  All in all it was a good experience and I'd recommend dining there.

Drop in and experience it for yourself or visit their website for more information at: http://www.tiramesu.com/

Monty's Raw Bar in South Beach



If you had a boat, this is the perfect place to go as arriving by boat is much cooler than arriving by car.  This is what my son said the first time we went to Monty's Raw Bar in South Beach.  With other locations in Florida (the most popular one being in Coconut Grove), Monty's is mainly for adults especially during Happy Hour.  The South Beach location even has a swimming pool where guests can cool off before, during, or after their meal.

Decorated in marine life decor, the main bar area extends the whole length of the interior with a portion in an outside deck overlooking the marina.  There is a sidewalk that separates the restaurant from the marina where pedestrian traffic leads to impromptu to meal plans.  Our favorites include Conch Fritters, Fish sandwich, and fish tacos.  You top it off with Pina Coladas (virgin for the kids) for a refreshing end to a beach day.  For the latest menu, click here.
