Where I Go Out

"This dish is a delicious expression of the sea. There is something about these three ingredients of the Mediterranean that come together organically over a grill. It is just so simple; the flavors were clearly made for each other. Add a touch of sea salt and there's not a thing left to do. No matter how it changes with the season, it's always my go-to."

"The savory taste from the fried pig skin couldn't be washed down with anything better than a freshly squeezed local, tropical fruit juice. It's savory and sweet, everything that I love about Miami. It does not get more Miami than this!"

At My Venues

Octopus burrito
My Ceviche
$$, Seafood, Caribbean, South Pointe
"Sam and the team use only the freshest seafood, executing the food to perfection. The ceviches are great and this place is the go-to when stone crabs are in season. Where they really nail it is with their octopus burrito. It's got corn, tomatoes, tasty and tender grilled octopus, coconut rice, and a little spice. Topped with jalapeño crema and salsa roja, this bite makes for an awesome lunch or dinner. As a matter of fact, I think I've had this for both meal periods in the same day. Great stuff!"
