Have a few trips planned over the last half of the year and wondering if The Berserkers have some recommedations for these destinations:
We really enjoy, any type of food, and wine lists aren’t that important. I am familiar with most of the high end places in Miami/South Beach area but haven’t ventured out too much in Lauderdale and I have never been to St Thomas.
Café Maxx in Pompano Beach and Wine Watch in Ft Lauderdale put on some high end wine dinners. I didn’t make it to either place the last time I was down there, but noticed them afterwards.
If you’re looking for something straightforward on the beach in Lauderdale, try Flavors of Italy Bistro, 403 S. Fort Lauderdale Blvd. We had lunch there the one day we were in Lauderdale and enjoyed it.
If you go north from Lauderdale, we thought the Cuban Cafe was exceptional with 2 locations (Delray Beach and Boca).
If you want a really different experience in South Beach, try B.E.D.. Food and music served in beds on the beach. We didn’t go there, but we did walk past and say WTF?
I’ve eaten at Versailles in Little Havana twice with somewhat mixed results. The food can be very good, but sometimes isn’t.
