Rare steakhouse is fabulous. One of the best meals I have ever eaten. Veal Milano was splendid. perfectly seasoned and prepared. The steak fillet was wonderfully tender, despite being super lean. And it was perfectly cooked. Ordered medium rare, arrived medium rare. The decor is lovely. The service note perfect except that they seem to cater to the expectations of their customers by bringing the food too quickly, we would have preferred to linger between courses. The online menu is out of date, the current menu is wonderful. Order a steak. The sushi is also very good. But this is a first-rank steakhouse.

Asi's Grill and Sushi delivered lunch and supper to the hotel today - no time to get to a restaurant. The menu is online. Israeli grill with sushi. The restaurant is at 41st St. and Royal Palm Ave. , but i have no idea what it looks like. The Moroccan Fish in spicy red sauce was particularly good, redolent with garlic. They sent seven kinds of salad with the skewers of nicely grilled chicken. They were good, if unsurprising, Israeli chopped, cold slaw. potato. macaroni. cucumbers in dill vinaigrette. red slaw in vinaigrette. A little pricy for a solid but no-surprises grill.

Seventeen has very good food. Ate there last night. My dinner companion and I shared a tuna tartare called Ichiban tuna. Tuna in a mildly spicy sauce topped with crunchy onions. Perfect. We were hungry. We thought the soup would be more than we could eat, but enjoyed samples of a mushroom and a winter squash soup, both creamed and both excellent. Followed that with Mustard salmon, and Talipa Piccata, both delicious. The entire menu is online. The restaurant is pleasantly decorated and located a short walk form the convention center and Lincoln Road. It has a large outdoor seating area in back. A year or two ago this was just a couple of tables beside a parking lot. Now it has expanded, had perhaps 20 tables, a wet bar opens in the evenings, it becomes a sukkah, and it is attractively screened from the parking lot.
The menu is on the web, and they deliver free to your hotel.

Seventeen is upscale milchig, bistro atmosphere, pasta, salads, pizza, fish and a large sushi menu. www.17restaurant.com/
I'll be in South Beach in December on business (seriously). I am wondering if there is currently anyplace further north that is worth the drive. Or if I am just as well off going to seventeen every meal.

re: Pluckyduk8
What do you order? I ask because I only have been there once and would like to try Thai food, but the one time I went (several years ago) I ordered a dish involving peanut sauce and it was made by stirring in peanut butter. Yuck. Have they improved? Or did I order the wrong dish?

We went to Thai Treat twice last year. I don't remember exactly what we ordered, but the waitress gave us some good recommendations. They have an Indian menu and a Thai menu- we ordered from both.
From what I remember... husband liked the mulligatawny (sp?) soup. The Indian stuffed pancakes (or bread don't remember what it was called) was different and very good. I remember someone at the table ordered pad thai- it was my first time tasting it and I thought it was rather sweet. They had some basic things on the menu too.. good for picky eaters.

I liked that they had the option of an Indian menu. The Indian menu had a mix of traditional dishes and grilled skewer type dishes that could be served with or without sauce. The restaurant was pretty nice too.
We'll be back in Miami next month... hopefully we'll go back there.

Gourmet Carrot is in South Beach. I was there a few years ago and the food was very good. It's a meat place, but on the lighter side. Grilled chicken salads and sandwiches, and lots of vegetable options. Not sure if the grilled vegetable/tofu options are vegetarian or cooked on the meat grills. The menu was creative and they had lots of nice outdoor seating under umbrellas.

Is Gourmet Carrot still there? Perhaps West Avenue Cafe is now in that location?Has anyone eaten at West Avenue Cafe?

re: AdinaA
West Avenue Cafe is the new name of the former Gourmet Carrot. It's a nice place. The Israeli salads are something special. They make their own baba ganoush, smoky and wonderful, excellent fresh hummus with a hint of cumin, outstanding tabouleh and chopped salad. A sesame crusted tuna was uninteresting and a little over-cooked. sweet potato chips were pedestrian. a pasta with spinach and soy cheese dish was pleasantly creamy.

The prices in the online menu
http://www.westavenuecafe.com/3352/35...
are accurate even though the menu has been updated. $20 pus for a main course at dinnertime. I didn't check the lunch menu.

Cafe Emunah in Fort Lauderdale has delicious food. It is a seafood restaurant (non meat). Was there three weeks ago and unfortunately was in a hurry so could not savor the wonderful cuisine at leisure. You won't be disappointed!
