I like to pretend I’m a tourist at home and try out new spots in Miami to keep myself entertained between jaunts (see last week’s travel tip). So, recently, my husband, Joe, and I headed out for date night at the new Devon Seafood + Steak. We’ve been hearing great things about this upscale, modern restaurant and had to check it out for ourselves as, well, there aren’t many of those in Kendall. It was fabulous from the decor to the handcrafted martinis to the dessert. My faves were the Lobster Mac n’ Cheese and my Blackberry Lemonade Martini. Too good! This will definitely go into our restaurant rotation. But next time, we may just try out happy hour (and a few more martinis) on the outdoor patio. Oh, and the scrumptious cookie box, which a friend raved about after their visit. Check out the entire Devon Seafood + Steak dinner menu here and if you hurry, you can get it all for a steal during Miami Spice now through 9/30. Hmm, maybe I’ll even head back before then.
What We Ate (and drank):
Blackberry Lemonade Martini with prosecco float
Tito’s Dirty Martini
Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes with apple & celery root slaw
Lobster Tamale with corn, roasted poblano, cilantro, avocado crema (see right)
Seared Sea Scallops with whipped yukon gold potatoes and lobster mac n’ cheese
Char Crusted Ahi Tuna with parmesan-herb roasted potatoes, asparagus, foyot sauce
Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake
Typically when dining out, you’ll find me in a dress. Aren’t dresses just easier? But, since we were eating down south in Kendall, I went the casual route. I can’t seem to break away from the skinny jeans and I paired them with this graphic high-low top that I’m still loving from Blush Boutique (I bought it in the Spring). My classic Lanvin booties made their first appearance too as Fall is here! Can you believe it? Where did the summer go? And just to spice the look up a little, Avenue Maintain blue nails.
