We've also been protective of neighborhood joints, whether it's stalwarts like Calypso, the busy enclave at Flavors of Peru, or the Manor in Wilton Manors, which was met with scores of defiant comments when this paper wrote an ambivalent review. Sometimes, we want to dine where everybody knows our name, regardless of what's on the plate.
There are also a few things on the wish list for 2012. I wish fruits and vegetables would steal the show from meatcentric menus. I long for a craft cocktail speakeasy. Last, I hope for better training for the front of the house, especially when it comes to lunch service or when bartenders seem oblivious to the field of empties cradled by frustrated, would-be drunks resigned to absentee service.

A few things we can surely expect. More single concepts are on the docket: small, inexpensive sandwiches from 100 Montaditos, an oyster emporium next door to Coconuts at B&G Oyster Bar, and a Bourbon mecca at the Rebel House. More restaurant gardens too: A few in Boca have plots at the town's new community garden. Sublime built one on the roof.
This past year, a little tension has served us well. From Miami to Palm Beach, it has become an interesting time to dine in South Florida. Here's hoping that chefs like Villacrusis are encouraged to indulge their culinary passion and that 2012 will nurture a dynamic dining scene.
You hit some nerves Melissa in a good way...I'm going into my third season at The Green Gourmet and it is still difficult sourcing my food and products...I am so tired of hearing we are out of stock on that item only to find out I'm the only one using it... In Florida!!! Please keep writing articles to encourage other Chefs and Restaurant owners to do the right thing!

I am a 27 years old doctor,mature and beautiful. and now i am seeking a good man who can give me real love, so i got a sername Andromeda2002 on Agedate.СòM, a nice and free place for younger women and older men,or older women and younger men, to interact with each other.Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.
I'm still circling. Just called this morning to try and get something for that restaurant changes/opening blog post. I'll let you know asap.
ok, thanks Melissa. One of my faves, if not my fave in FL, but too pricey to go there too often, and too big a space to have a good atmosphere on quieter nights. If the chef has changed and the quality of the food coming out has gone down they could be in serious trouble.
That was me over on Miami.
Although Miami is certainly improving, SoFlo as a whole is not great, and Fort Lauderdale has a dearth of good restaurants. Atlanta is way ahead.
Frank, I just got it and can write about it next week. BTW, is that you over on Miami NT writing about Atlanta and Houston? I agree, when it comes to Atlanta, anyway. There just aren't the handfuls of ethnic neighborhoods from every continent in Miami the way there is in Atlanta.
