Cafe Sambal Restaurant

The sushi bar tenders a first-rate array of maki rolls, nigiri sushi, sashimi, and temaki (cones); even the California roll, usually crammed with crappy surimi, is laden with luscious lumps of blue crab. The sake selection rocks as well, from aged, sherrylike Hanahato Kijoshu to fruity Harushika Daiginjo. The elegant interior, replete with loud, splashy waterfall; and the spacious outdoor terrace, replete with sweeping vistas of Biscayne Bay and the Brickell skyline, are among Miami's prettiest dining areas. If you wish to partake of Sambal's romantic waterfront ambiance, stick to sushi and sake.
