Miami Restaurants are Slipping
I have a bone to pick with some restaurants in Miami. I've been going to you guys for years and I really enjoy you, but as of lately, you've been really sucky.
First of all, Ortanique. I really love Ortanique and I've met Cindy Hutdson, the owner, but I have to say, I wasn't impressed by the bouillabaisse: the sauce was weak, the rice was boring, the bread didn't have any bacon fat like it usually does, and the rum cake wasn't fresh like the bread pudding. What are you guys doing to yourselves? You're angering me.
Next victim: Pascal's on Ponce. I went for Miami Spice and I was excited. But the cauliflower soup was uninspired, the bread was the same that I can buy at the cafeteria at Mercy Hospital, the duck confit sandwich had so much blue cheese in it I thought I was inhaling asbestos, and the chocolate mousse could have been one of those amazing chocolate souffles that I saw the other table stuffing their faces with. You guys are getting lazy and careless and cheap!
Now I went to Sergios expecting a fantastic meal. But what the hell? I get stuck with the same rude waitress who held our check last time for thirty minutes because she made a mistake with the bill and didn't want to come over and talk to us. She looked like her eyes are going to roll into the back of her head every time we said something. My friend ordered the fish ceviche and not only do you forget to tell him that there is no fish ceviche, you get pissed off when he doesn't want to eat the ceviche he gives you. I love the bistec empanizado, I really do, but this one was burned. And no one gave us Cuban bread. What happened to the Cuban bread? This is a Cuban place.
I feel bad, but seriously this hasn't been fun for me either. Everytime I go to Paciugo, I tell everyone its the most authentic italian gelato in town. But you guys don't even have nocciola. You have soy hazelnut. What! Soy, seriously who goes to a gelato restaurant with soy in mind. And everything was watered down and old. You were using leftovers that tasted like it had been frozen at least twice. What are you playing at?
And Villagio in Merrick Park. Everything was pretty good until you tried to stick us with that piece of crap ricotta cheesecake that seriously needed a knife to cut through. It should have been a door stopper.
I hope you guys pick it up.
