Guest Electric Eel Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 lol, lula, carisa and I will be going to our second restaurant this weekend. Good food for a great price, can't ask for any better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest macboy Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 Took advantage of it many times last year. Originally a one month special, it was so popular they extended it to two months and this year made it permanent.Here's the thing...some restaurants place limits on when they offer these deals, so check the website. Also, some restaurants won't even advertise it so you have to ask for the Spice menu when you sit down. A lot of the waitstaff hate this menu because it limits their tip potential, so many do not bring it up if you don't ask. So ASK!!!!!!!! FYI, sometimes the Spice menu isn't that great and you're better off going with the full menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest web_norah Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 of that whole list.only places i recommend for the overall experience (including decent service), Azul and Norman. i havent tried all of them but quite a bunch in there, are just average(based on my experience).too bad Casa Tua or Macalusos arent there.

poysoniv Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 definitely try ortanique on the mile. its a great lil place. very nice carribean style cousine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Electric Eel Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 Yeah I was hoping Macaluso's was on there as well.So far we went to Isabela's, it's in the Marriott on Brickell and all 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our dinners. Last year went to the Biltmore and it was very good as well. I agree that not all the menu's are the best but that is why we went through and each chose a menu we really like and are taking turns going to those restaurants.

Guest macboy Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Hey, how about we post reviews of these restaurants based on the Miami Spice menus? Give your opinion on how good the selection is, as well as how the food and service are. Also let us know if you had to request the Spice menu or whether they gave it to you automatically. If you've been there before, compare the regular menu to the Spice menu.I'll start. We went to Shula's last night at the Alexander. Had to request the menu. Main menu is not that large to begin with so the Spice menu really wasn't very limited in comparison. My filet mignon was surprisingly very good. My girlfriend had the salmon, which was top notch. Lobster bisque was a bit bland, but the gorgonzola salad was tasty. Key lime pie and warm chocolate cake were outstanding. Waiter was very attentive, though I could tell he was disappointed when we requested the Spice menu. I'd recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrzyC1414779017 Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Thanks, Dan! The girls and I are going to Shula tomorrow night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was excited about the lobster bisque, sucks it was bland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrzyC1414779017 Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 For our first dinner we went to Isabelas in the JW Marriott downtown. We were running a little late for our reservation and were worried that they would give it away but when we went in the place was EMPTY except for one other table...not a good sign. However, EVERYTHING was OUTSTANDING!!!! Here is what I had:Appetizer:Prosciutto di Parma con MeloneThinly sliced Italian prosciutto paired with flavorful melonaccompanied with shaved pecorino and asiago crostiniEntree:Penne Quattro Formaggiwith fontina, parmesan, asiago and robiola cheesesDessert:Torta di Cioccolatowith caramel sauce & chocolate shavingsWe also had a bottle of wine and a couple bottles of sparkling water and several cups of cuban coffee. The check for 4 people came to around $269 and that included a nice sized tip.I HIGHLY reccommend this place to anyone although we did not look at their regular menu.
