Olives Gone Wild! (Part deux)

OK, so the title is a bit obvious.  But, if you’re still perplexed, this review will be about the new Todd English restaurant Wild Olives located in CityPlace, next to Macy’s.   And the reason for the “part deux” is that this review has been languishing unfinished since our first visit, so we’ve now eaten there twice, and there have been some subtle...

McCormick & Schmicks….

…..hereinafter referred to as M&S because I refuse to keep writing out the whole name.   At least it’s not S&M because then this review would be going in a whole different direction. I had a brief introduction to M&S, located on Okeechobee Blvd, when my office was invited on the restaurant’s opening day to enjoy a “cocktail hour” in one of...

Taco Vida

As I mourned the loss of La Salsa, , standing by was another fresh Mexican grill, Taco Vida....

Meatballs, BBQ, and Music

I’m getting       so I’ve decided to cheat and bundle two reviews into one.   With all the new restaurants on the horizon, I may have to double up my eatin’ and writin’  in the future.      ...

Yes We Can Can

I thought I was being clever with the title, but I guess my originality is waning since that very phrase is used on the restaurant’s website which is still under construction with only one page proclaiming Opening Soon.  I hope their webmaster remembers to return and complete the project.  It’s a very colorful and enticing homepage....

New CityPlace “French” Restaurant

CityPlace will get a little extra “je ne sais quoi” this summer with the opening of a new French restaurant, Carousel Can Can Café. ...

Wild Ginger Asian Bistro

It’s nice to see a place become instantly popular, especially on one of the CityPlace side streets where the only other selection on that street is pizza.  ...

Two for the price of one

No, this has nothing to do with a special dining offer.   Just a biased opinion of two new eateries just opened in CityPlace.   Well, actually one new restaurant and one that has expanded and re-invented itself....

Ruth’s Chris

Located at 651 Okeechobee, many tables have a beautiful view of the Kravis and its fountains.  We were fortunate to recently be seated at an early hour (due to the start of a Kravis concert we were attending), in time to enjoy a most breathtaking sunset.  There are two levels of seating and we’re sure that the outdoor landscape is even more picturesque upstairs.  But...

Kona Grill

We finally made it to the new kid on the block! At the corner of Rosemary & Okeechobee is a delightful new restaurant whose cuisine I can’t quite describe because it entails quite a mixture from American to fusion Asian to Italian (pizzas!)....
