Reasonably priced dinner in South Beach

We will be in Miami for one night with another couple before our cruise leaves, staying on Ocean Drive. We are looking for a nice restaurant that is reasonably priced. We are in our thirties and don%26#39;t mind trendy and funky, we just don%26#39;t want to break the bank.

Thanks!

Reasonably priced dinner in South Beach

What is a reasonable price these days or in South Beach.

Most ';reasonable'; at perhaps fifty bucks for two and one

drink might be the Front Porch on Ocean Drive where

you can eat outside and get the South Beach ambience.

The main restaurant in Loews does a very exceptional

sea food buffet for about thirty per person sometimes

on Friday nights. Another option could be drinks and one

appetizer at a very spiffy spot followed by a main

course at the 11 th street dinner.

Reasonably priced dinner in South Beach

I was in SB in October and found lots of great little places to eat all up and down Lincon Road mall.

Hey there Tinks!

There are so many choices and much depends upon your group%26#39;s palate and purse.

You might wander over to one of Ocean Drive%26#39;s busy bars to warm up with a sunset drink. Afterward, walk 2 blocks inland (that%26#39;ll be west) and north toward Washington Avenue and 14th Street. There is a picturesque little street called Espanola Way that%26#39;s got sidewalk cafes and bars to cruise. On weekends there is a little flea market worth checking out.

At the far west end of the drive you%26#39;ll find TAPAS Y TINTOS a genuine Spanish wine and tapas restaurant. You can sample the vino and order lots of little plates of garlicky treats to share. Also on Espanola at Washington is OSTERIA Del TEATRO, a reliable Italian destination. Afterward, if you%26#39;re feeling frisky, you are steps away from CROBAR - a late night haunt. If you%26#39;re not into the club scene, half a block east of Washington on Espanola is LOST WEEKEND, a divey-good bar with pool tables that is ALWAYS fun and has no ';door attitude.'; All of this takes you just 2 blocks away from Ocean Drive - so you are literally a stumble away from your hotel, a good night%26#39;s rest and happy sailing!

If you decide to venture farther a field, walk (or cab) north on Washington to Lincoln Road Mall and grab a table at any of the promising sidewalk cafes. If your group is finicky, CAFETERIA is a Miami outpost of the Soho, NY trendy diner. They try to instill a club loungey vibe of an evening and feature cheap eats at happy hour and a nightly blue plate special that%26#39;s often pretty tasty. If you have decided to toss caution to the wind before your cruise, try the fried chicken and waffles. Don%26#39;t ask - it%26#39;s really good.

Venturing further west on Lincoln Mall, I%26#39;d suggest ZEKE%26#39;S for $3 international beers and hot dogs (oh wait - that%26#39;s my idea of a vacation)...

Try the thai and sushi at SUSHI SIAM, light Italian at DA LEO, upscale pacific rim at PACIFIC TIME, crisp thin pizza and a fab fried calamari appetizer at SPRIS or the mussels next door at LE BON, trendy Chinese at MISS YIP%26#39;S...

Afterward, have a night cap upstairs at Buck 15 on Meridian, a brew with the funky crowd at Finnegan%26#39;s, a homemade ice cream at the Frieze south on Michigan, or some (amazing) drunken bowling at Lucky Strike lanes (also Michigan but go north).

You can%26#39;t go wrong but be sure everyone is ';in'; since this is a one night venture! Feel free to ask more questions.

Best wishes for great weather on your cruise...
