Chef Allen's
Chef Allen's Review
Chef Allen Susser has long been a figure of Miami's culinary scene, a member of the original, self-designated "Mango Gang," who created contemporary American masterpieces from a global menu. Over the past couple of years, though, his namesake restaurant has been renovated with a new look and jolt of fresh energy as a "modern seafood bistro," focusing on sustainable fish. The restaurant is still the best in northern Miami. After trying the famous Devil's on a Horseback (manchego- and mango-stuffed dates wrapped in bacon), order a salad of baby greens and warm wild mushrooms or a rock-shrimp hash with roasted corn. Allen serves only locally caught seafood, so you may want to consider the swordfish with conch-citrus couscous, macadamia nuts, and lemon. It's hard to resist the dessert soufflé; order it when you order your appetizer to eliminate a mouthwatering wait at the end of your meal.

scottys511, from miami
After a few trips, I've noticed that the menu is static, although nothing is less than excellent. The chef is heavy on sauces, the service is very good, but I have been rushed for no obvious reason. It is fun to go to Chef Allen's, sometimes he is there, but I am still looking for the top Miami experience.

A friend & I are thinking of taking our annual spring break to Sarasoga and Siesta Key.
Can you recommend this or would you recommend somewhere else that might have a tropical island feel?
Thanks Read more
