I had been eyeing this establishment for a few months while engaged in
transportation
services in the Magic City. One common thing that I
noticed on each eyeing was the consistent late night crowds which are
typically a sign that something good was going on at this eatery. The
location is quite familiar to me as it was where we used to hang out back
in the day mostly on a Saturday or during the summer
months when we were out on school break. Our main hang out was the nearby
canal which served as our favorite fishing hole where we trolled the
Miami fresh water for minnows and
Oscars to bring back home and keep for my late cousin Ken's aquarium. One time I caught a future pet turtle and it was not uncommon
to spot a Florida gator (Alligator) cruising just below
the surface of the water. We thought that was really cool back then but
in hind sight we should have moved to a different location because of the
leaping ability of those prehistoric beasts. My late cousin Ken actually swam
across that canal once after a dare. It was an amazing feat!
I chose a pretty crappy day to make my stop as it was raining and a
bit chilly -- for Miami -- that day in April. It did not help that the
air-conditioner was set to low inside the restaurant which caused the
windows to fog up so thick you could barely see the customers waiting
inside. Other than that the small (20 person) waiting/dining area was
very clean and neatly decorated with a red and Black
contemporary theme. It included two HDTV (High
Definition Television) screens on either wall with smooth background
music playing to entertain customers while waiting for our orders. The
staff was very friendly and cordial and the unisex (men and women) rest
room was clean.
