Description

Even in a city filled with authentic Caribbean cuisine, suburbanites flock to "the Breeze" for fine fakin'-Jamaican food. Sometimes the wait is more than an hour - not necessarily a problem if you spend it drinking a mojito made with fresh-squeezed sugarcane out on the huge outdoor bar deck that comes complete with a stunning view of Kendall Drive. Servers here aren't waiters; they're "tour guides" who wear garish tropical-print shirts. There are faux tropical plants galore, and Buster Poindexter's "Hot Hot Hot" is on constant loop. Try appetizers such as chicken with tostones - this restaurant's surprisingly addictive version of nachos - and jumbo coconut shrimp. Entrée standouts include a leafy, crunchy, and flavorful salmon tostada; creamy calypso shrimp linguine; and guava-barbecue-sauce-glazed West Indies baby-back ribs. For dessert, give the mousse and brownie concoction Chocolate Island a whirl, or sip a strawberry-swirled ultimate piña colada.

And they adore the literal ones as well -- the Targets, Best Buys, Denny's, and... honestly, did Don Carter's and one of the last strawberry fields in the area really need to get demolished for another Staples and a Costco But the most interesting thing about Kendall is that although it looks homogenous, it is in Miami-Dade and therefore is filled with...

2003 | BEST CHAIN RESTAURANT

Even in a city filled with authentic Caribbean cuisine, suburbanites flock to the reliable Bahama Breeze chain for fine fakin' Jamaican food. Sometimes the wait is more than an hour -- not necessarily a problem if you spend it drinking in the huge outdoor bar area. The draw is the reliable quality of the food, from the goat cheese or ceviche appetizers to the steak or ropa vieja entrées. There are, unfortunately, some of the inevitable chain restaurant gimmicks in evidence; servers... More »
