Fratelli Lyon in DD is lovely. Osso bucco risotto was fal of the bone tender and delightful, homemade ravioli was exquisite, perfectly creamy and tender.
Beuna Vista bistro N of the DD is also a big winner. green salad has a brilliant blasamic dressing with a hint of mint. meat and curry chicken also very well done fpr the affordable proce.
North Miami Rumblings...
City BBq was terribly dissappointing. had the brisket sandwich for lunch with fries, coleslaw and mac and cheese. meat was great, sauce had a nice flavor. mac and cheese tasted of the box variety, very rubbery and tasted as if theyd been doused with cheap garlic powder. fries were cold and tasteless. Coleslaw was boring. So far best BBQ in NMB/Aventura/NM area id Beach BBQ. Even Bulldog was a disappointment.
Bulldog BBQ - North Miami
Awful! I was incredibly disappointed by Bulldog BBQ. Went wotha friend and ordered BBQ Chicken, salmon, grits, wedge salad, chipotle fries and "chowder with shrimp" all the meat was dry and overcooked, including the huge shrimp in the chowder.
The salad was decent, but the buttermilk ranch was unnecessarily thick, almost cloying. It was topped with over fried onion strings that lacked a distinctive flavor.
Chipotle fries were nice and crisp, but not terribly "chipotle." The grits were not grits, but in fact hominy, which, mixed with a sharp cheddar sauce, was far too starchy.
Lemonade was decent, tea was not sweet tea, WTF is right!
The BBQ sauce was deplorable- two are left on the tables- a very thin watery red that had decent but abominably weak flavor, and an also thin yellow that tasted more like mustard than BBQ sauce.
Meals came with a minuscule sample of decent but boring coleslaw and not awful but uninspired cornbread.
For the price, this place was a waste of money and an insult to tastebuds.
