Owners Nelson Sanchez and his wife Mayneth (the cook, better known as Fifi) have brought a warm neighborhood seafood eatery to North Beach, and residents have responded by packing the joint nightly.

Finnegan’s calls itself an Irish pub and sports bar, and the interior portion of the restaurant fits that bill. The bulk of the room is occupied by dining tables, pool tables, and a bar boasting Guinness and a half-dozen other beers on tap. At night, the space takes on a darker pub ambiance, with much […]

Let’s hark back to the days when meat was served in portions the size of Hyundais. Better yet, let’s just mosey on over to Fogo de Chão, which loosely translates to “stuff of the face.” Or maybe not
The Forge is as famous as any South Florida restaurant not named Joe’s Stone Crab. After a $10 million renovation, the museum-like mahogany interior has been lightened and brightened to invigorating effect. Yet the six cuts of proffered beef remain the most sought-after entrées. Pair a steak with a glass of wine in one-, three-, […]
