Blue Collar

Now in classed-up digs across Biscayne Boulevard from the original site, Danny Serfer’s Blue Collar still takes its cues from the classic American diner. The MiMo District stalwart offers daily specials and elevated comfort foods. Start with a gutsy New Orleans-style dish of shrimp and grits with bacon and Worcestershire-based barbecue sauce, or Hanukkah latkes […]

Blue Martini

This place makes 42 specialty martinis using a variety of vodkas, infusions, fruits, sodas, and, of course, olives. It’s a sexy lounge that offers live entertainment and is open seven nights a week. Wine and champagne are available by the bottle or in “splits” (half-bottles from a limited menu). There are light snacks, flatbreads, and […]

Blue Martini

Listen up, single ladies and lads. If you’re in the mood for a good after-work drink in a trendy and upbeat atmosphere with scantily clad bartenders and mostly good-looking people, Blue Martini might be the place. The Mary Brickell Village outpost of the chain is large. There’s an indoor area lit by blue and purple […]

They are finished in a sauce that’s thick enough to coat a wooden spoon and tastes of sage and thyme. […]

Boia De

This hip Little Haiti spot run by chefs Luciana Giangrandi and Alex Meyer offers an ever-changing lineup of pastas designed to comfort and enchant. Look for pappardelle “Alla Lepre” – unctuous shreds of braised rabbit tangled with wide ribbons of pasta. It’s not all about noodles here, however. Boia De offers plenty of non-pasta delights, […]

Bon-Bon Bakery

The facade of this bakery is rundown. The sign and storefront look as though they haven’t been painted since they were first erected – sometime around the Mayflower landing. Despite all that, Bon Bon Bakery surprises you twofold. First, what bakery do you know that offers real Cuban pizza? A full pie, plain cheese or […]

Bonsai

The “lobster bomb” (lobster tail tempura, crab salad, avocado, lettuce, red tobigo, spicy mayo, and eel sauce with a side of sautéed lobster, scallops, and sautéed mushrooms) is simply to die for at this West Dade sushi spot. There are also specialty rolls such as the “Bonsai G,” with deep-fried salmon, crab, shrimp, and masago. […]
