The sunset location is more suited to to go orders than it is dining in, but I wouldn't expect much else since it's a sandwich joint at the end of the day. I LOVE the prosciutto and goat cheese but really you can't go wrong with anything. I've tried 6 different types and all were great, but it seems their chicken parm sells often as I saw a bunch being prepared during my visit. I'll have to add that to the list! lol It's not a cheap sandwich, but you get what you pay for and one sandwich is good enough for two people imho. 5 stars well deserved!

I really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the food…read more I got a half caprese sandwich with side caesar salad. I really didn't like the bread. It tasted stale to me - there was no moisture in it or crunch. The salad had browned lettuce in some parts. Just too basic for the high cost. Maybe a different type of sandwich would be better. The ventilation is awful. I walked out, smelling like food in the middle of the day, and because of this, I probably won't be back.

This is by far one of the better picadillos I have had from a Cuban restaurant.

She also brought chicharones which were delicious with an ahi dipping sauce. Looking at the reviews, it seems this spot is loved by locals and I definitely need to make my way for the pan con lechon.

I haven't written a Yelp review in months, but my experience yesterday was so disappointing that I…read morefelt compelled to dust off my account. I stopped by this well-established "bakery" chain for a quick bite. I chose the Pinecrest location because I always thought it was the nicer one. Other locations, particularly Doral, leave a lot to be desired in terms of ambiance. That's not to say this location is anything extraordinary, but at least it feels like a place you'd actually want to sit down and visit. It's been a long time since I last came here. I can't remember if they always stayed open until 9 PM on regular days, but I distinctly remember that on weekends at least, they used to close around 6 PM, and that by 5:30 PM the kitchen was often already shutting down. Because I generally wake up around 2 or 3 PM on weekends, this place became impractical for me long ago. I eventually found far better options closer to home that stay open later and offer a much broader selection of bakery/pastry items, all-day breakfast, while also offering sandwiches, entrées, desserts, and just about everything else. Still, after years of rotating through the same places, my friend and I decided to venture out, especially since I had woken up "early" by my standards. We arrived around 5 PM and I was absolutely floored by the menu prices. Wagyu or not, a smash cheeseburger for $25? A seafood fettuccine for $36? At a 3.6-star corner bakery? Dishes that cost around $18 a few years ago, such as the Black Forest ham and cheese scramble with coffee and orange juice, are now effectively $24 once you add the $2 extra charge for the coffee and small orange juice that used to be included. That's a staggering 33% increase from what was already an expensive meal three years ago. And that percentage doesn't tell the whole story, because even back then their prices were already 30% to 50% higher than many of their competitors. And let's be honest: the supposedly superior ingredients didn't exactly create some unforgettable culinary experience. You'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between their Black Forest ham and the regular ham served elsewhere. Back to yesterday's visit. I had already driven there and didn't feel like searching for another place. Plus, my usual order at bakeries is a ham and cheese croissant, and that happened to be one of the few things on their menu that hadn't reached absurd pricing territory. At around $8, it's arguably one of their better deals, especially considering that a croissant filled with Nutella or some other typical filling costs roughly the same. Granted, it's not even a traditional ham and cheese croissant like the ones found in 99% of bakeries. It's a smaller version with the ham and cheese baked inside, almost like a pastelito. So when you factor this in, it's equally overpriced. Naturally, destiny enjoys playing jokes on me. The waitress informed me that they had already run out of croissants... at 5 PM... in a bakery supposedly known for its croissants. She then explained that they had shifted "more toward their bistro concept." I couldn't help but wonder: what bistro? Adding a few wildly overpriced restaurant dishes to your menu doesn't magically transform a bakery into a bistro. It simply gives the impression that you've drifted away from your original identity. And that's unfortunate because, as a French bakery, the selection here is already surprisingly limited. Compare them to competitors like Bonjour French Bakery and the difference becomes obvious. They simply can't compete. La Boulangerie mostly offers a handful of pastries and some jarred desserts and calls it a day. As for the coffee, both Bonjour French Bakery and Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar completely outclass them. Their coffee is richer, smoother, more flavorful, their prices are more reasonable, and their menus offer a broad selection, from all day breakfast to sandwiches, entrées, as well as pastas. Which brings me to the giant sign in the middle of the restaurant that proudly says "BAKERY" and to the word "BOULANGERIE" itself, the French term for a bakery specializing in bread and baked goods. Those words have never felt more irrelevant. There's a reason this place sits at a 3.6-star average rating as of this review. Had I seen that beforehand, I never would have driven this far based solely on memories from two years ago. I have a simple rule when it comes to restaurants: I don't go anywhere with less than four stars on Yelp. This visit was a good reminder of why.

Hello everybody and hard to believe that I have been coming to this traditional Jewish Deli for…read moreyears now and never written a review but here goes as I can tell you that they really deserve it. Lots of Lox Deli in my opinion is a jewel located in the South Dade area of Miami, nestled in the Pinecrest / Palmetto Bay area. Truth be told there are not many traditional Jewish deli's left in South Dade so we are very lucky to have them. This is a family owned business that has been turning out great New York style sandwiches and deli items for many years. You all know how much I love local businesses and we really need to support great local businesses as much as possible. One particular item they have on the menu which is not found in many places is their deli style Tongue Sandwich. Yes I know it sounds weird but it is absolutely delicious and very hard to find. Most of their food items such as their soups and slaws are for the most part home made on premises which means they are always fresh. The service and atmosphere as you can imagine is true to form, a little noisy with everyone talking and enjoying their food and the servers really do a great job of getting things going for you as quickly as possible. On this occasion, I ordered the vegetable soup and the hot pastrami sandwich, piled high with awesome pastrami. As expected, it was excellent and very fresh. Outside of the menu, make sure to checkout the specials on the white board on the main wall, as they always have some items that are not on the menu on that board. Parking should not be a problem as they are located in a strip mall on US1 and their tends to be plenty available; however, they do get busy on weekends and lunch time so plan accordingly. Overall, Lots of Lox really does an amazing job and I if you like traditional deli style food I am sure you will too. Wishing you all a great deli experience! Enjoy and Bon Appétit mes amis!

Under Federal Law merchants can charge for a credit card surcharge to offset the cost that credit card vendor charge the merchant.
