Miami Spice once again brought me out of my cave and into the world of fine dining. Biscayne Tavern is a swanky little restaurant and bar located inside the B2 Miami Downtown. The sign located on the outside of the restaurant makes it easy to spot, and there is quite a bit of metered parking

Toro Toro, located in the lobby of the Intercontinental Hotel in Downtown Miami, refers to itself as a Pan Latin Steakhouse. On Saturdays and Sundays, however, they offer a tapas brunch.

Not long ago, I asked around as to where to get the best fried chicken in South Florida. Aside from the standard chains (Popeye’s, Church’s), my friends didn’t have a whole lot of insight.
