We came here for a mid-week Spice lunch and were not disappointed!…read more The Ritz feels like a beautiful cruise ship! We walked through the lobby to the restaurant, which is situated overlooking the Haulover inlet (far enough away from the nude beach so your meal is not ruined, LOL!). There is indoor and outdoor seating; both have great views. You can also sit at the bar. The vibe is upscale nautical. The server was great; friendly and just attentive enough! We opted to sit inside as the humidity level was near 100% and there were storm clouds brewing. If you opt to sit inside, bring a cover up as the AC is working very well here! During our meal, the usual afternoon storm arrived and provided a dramatic show, complete with theatrical lightning! We had the ceviche and watermelon feta salad to start. The ceviche was super fresh and beautifully tart. The watermelon on the salad was at peak ripeness! Next, we had the chipotle rubbed shrimp tacos - two tacos with two giant shrimp nestled inside alongside avocado. I did not partake of the cheeseburger, but Larry needed a nap when we got home, so I think it did it's job. The fries that came with it were excellent. I'm not a fan of flan - I dislike the texture - but the taste and presentation were beautiful. The sorbet was a surprising standout. They were out of blood orange, so I was offered mango or lime instead. I have a mango tree that fruits all summer and I am sick of mango at this point, so I opted for lime. It was unbelievably delicious! Tart, creamy even though it's dairy free, absolutely refreshing! In all, Artisan serves basic food executed very well in a beautiful setting with expert service. Well worth it!

We started off with valet, which was friendly and speedy a great first impression. Inside, we were…read moreseated pretty quickly and attended by Sean, Peerce, and Jackie. Lovely staff all around attentive, warm, and professional. The ambiance inside was on the quieter side and felt a bit stale, with not many people around, but still pleasant. We chose to sit outside for the much nicer view, which definitely elevated the experience. We decided to try the Miami Spice menu, honestly, that's the main reason we picked this spot and it turned out to be a great deal. From appetizers to dessert, everything was enjoyable. While there wasn't a standout "wow" moment with the food, there were no disappointments either just a solid, satisfying lunch. Outside of the Miami Spice pricing, the regular menu does lean on the higher side, so for us, this special menu made it well worth it. Overall, it was a nice afternoon out with good food, great service, and a beautiful view.

Pura Vida in Bay Harbor Islands is truly a hidden gem! I've visited this location multiple times,…read morebut my most recent experience stood out because of Val's exceptional customer service. Val was incredibly friendly, patient, and informative. She took the time to explain the benefits of downloading the Pura Vida app and even told me about the local discount available. I've been coming here for a while, and surprisingly, no one had ever mentioned these perks before. She even waited while I downloaded the app to make sure I received my points, which was such a thoughtful touch. As for the food, I ordered the falafel bowl, and it was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Between the great food and Val's outstanding service, I've found myself coming back regularly. What started as a once-in-a-while visit has turned into a weekly lunch spot, and sometimes I stop by twice a week just to grab their amazing vegan cookie! A big thank you to Val for going above and beyond. Excellent customer service makes all the difference, and she definitely made me feel like a valued customer. Highly recommend!

Three stars, and here's how it earned them…read more I ordered the salmon burger out of pure curiosity. I wanted to see what 33 dollars' worth of salmon patty actually looks like. In my head, it was going to be enormous. A tower. A bucket of fries I couldn't finish. Something that justified the swing. What landed was good. Genuinely good. Homemade patty, proper crust, held together, didn't fight me. Fries were decent. Service was warm and dialed in, no complaints there. But it was a regular burger: regular size, regular plate. The price never crossed my mind until the check did. Ninety dollars for two of these and a Diet Coke. Farmed salmon. Sit with that for a second. The adventure turned into a receipt I had to read twice. And it's the same story across the menu. Everything's priced like it's special, and almost nothing is. The room is fine, the interiors are fine, and "fine" doesn't pay a ninety-dollar tab. The table wobbled throughout the whole meal, which, at these prices, stops being charming and starts feeling like an insult. Good food, bad math. Come if you're curious what a thirty-three-dollar salmon burger looks like. Know going in that it looks like a regular burger that happens to cost thirty-three dollars.

Mitchell Kaplan founded Books & Books in 1982 in a 500 sq ft space in Coral Gables when he realized that he loved books more than going to law school. Somehow this independent book seller has managed to stay in business in a time when most books are bought online. One of the ways they have stayed relevant is by hosting over 60 author events every month. Books & Books sponsors one of my favorite events every November, the Miami Book Fair, when 300 hundred authors converge on the Wolfson Campus of Miami Dade College for a week of one of a kind literary events. The fair was started in 1984 by Miami-Dade College Wolfson Campus President, Eduardo J. Padrón and Mitchell Kaplan in partnership with the Miami library system. Many famous people, artists, athletes, politicians, and celebrities have come to Miami to speak about their books at the fair. It is now the largest literary festival in the country. I discovered this small Books & Books outpost while exploring Bal Harbour Shops. It might be one of the only stores I can afford in the entire mall. As soon as you walk in the heavenly smell of books engulfs you. I wish they sold it is a perfume. On the wall and tables are a good selection of the latest best sellers, popular fiction, children's book, and non fiction. They also sell reading glasses. In a time when most books stores have been shuttered, it is wonderful to see that Books & Books has managed to keep the literary loving community engaged.
