Sunday Jazz Brunch Review: Jaya at the Setai, Miami Beach

Camille — Thu, 25 Oct 2018 17:07:34 +0000

Two Sundays ago, Me and Mr. P. enjoyed an almost never ending, decadent brunch buffet, while enjoying sweet melodies by the jazz band at Jaya at The Setai in Miami Beach.

Before getting down to brunch business, we explored the gorgeous grounds of the Setai:

When we arrived, the relaxing sounds of the jazz band were already in full swing:

Once seated, we started things off with some bubbly (of course):

I was absolutely amazed at the ginarmous and diverse offerings of buffet. There was everything from Indian cuisine to typical Sunday brunch staples, such as eggs Benedict, waffles, and sausages. It would have taken me the whole day to photograph the expansive offerings available!

Feast your eyes on…

For the first round, we found ourselves gravitating to the Indian dishes…

Round 2: I had my typical choice of Eggs Benedict…a true weakness of mine!
Later, we polished things off with these delicious desserts!

The Jazz Brunch experience at Jaya at The Setai was truly delightful and memorable! You’ll be blown away by the ambience, the food, and the light sounds of jazz music. If you go, be sure to let me know!

Sunday Brunch in Miami Beach: NaiYaRa Restaurant Review:

Camille — Thu, 28 Jun 2018 17:34:19 +0000

NaiYaRa Restaurant, located in Miami Beach’s Sunset Habor neighborhood, offers Thai street food, with a unique blend of Japanese specialties and splendid signature cocktails.

Last Sunday, I was absolutely wowed by their Sunday Brunch food and cocktails!

NaiYaRa offers menus for dinner, happy hour, sushi I sashimi, and speciality cocktails, but brunch was why we came.

Yes. Brunch at a Thai restaurant in Miami Beach! Who knew? They offer a weekend brunch Saturday and Sundays, from 11am-4pm.

Their bar area

We ordered quite a spread of food, but first we started with…

Siam Spring Cocktail: fresh muddled blueberries and lychee pair perfectly with hangar one vodka and crane of mountain sake with a little vanilla syrup and a lemon – I fell in love with this Siam Spring Cocktail – it was not only picturesque, but refreshing as well!

The most delicious fried duck and biscuits with a sweet chili sauce. You most DEFINITELY have to eat the fried duck and biscuits!

The thai poké was also delectable and fresh with salmon, seeweed salad, cucumber, avocado, and honey kimchee.

Fried Duck & Biscuits

Thai Poké

Next round, we ordered:

Korean short rib and eggs: Gochujang marinated with a sunny side up egg

Steak and eggs fried rice: grilled skirt steak, friend egg, with tomatoes and scallion.

Grilled shrimp papaya salad

This time we mixed things up with another refreshing cocktail: The Lady Lychee:

NaiYaRa’s fresh take on the lychee martini: house-made lychee purée & fresh watermelon beautifully blend with stillhouse clear corn whiskey & fresh lime.

Served in a chilled cocktail glass with a fat slice of watermelon.

And now, a moment of silence for my new favorite brunch dishes…

Korean short rib and eggs

Grilled shrimp papaya saladSteak and eggs fried rice

Brunch at NaiYaRa was truly a pleasurable and delicious experience. My top three must-eat dish recommendations would be the fried duck and biscuits, the Korean short rib and eggs and the steak and eggs fried rice.

You’ll also want to enjoy the Siam Spring cocktail!

You’ll find NaiYaRa Restaurant in the Sunset Harbor neighborhood in Miami Beach at 1854 Bay Rd, Miami Beach, FL

Date Night with Mr. Z, Lobster Bar Sea Grille – Miami Beach

Camille — Tue, 10 Apr 2018 13:18:00 +0000

Rosé and seafood. Two of my favorite loves.

So, naturally, when I was invited in to experience the partnership between Channé Rosé and Buckhead Life Restaurants (Lobster Bar Sea Grille Miami, Lobster Bar Sea Grille Las Olas, CHOPS Lobster Bar and City Fish Market), I said yes!

It was also a great excuse to have a date night out with Mr. Z.

The night started with this delicious Channé Rosé. It was very refreshing and crisp with hints of peaches, passion fruit and white flowers.

Hawaii Wild Ahi Tuna Cubed Sashimi and Mediterranean Sea Bass Sashimi

Field Ripe Tomato – Barrel Aged Dodonis Feta

Hashed Potato Tots

Chili Lobster

Tiramisu

It was definitely a fun and delicious night out at Lobster Bar Sea Grille in Miami Beach. We had a great time! The Channé Rosé paired perfectly with all of our dishes, very crisp with a round body, and I can definitely see myself drinking this year round, with just about everything!

A special shout to the staff and management at Lobster Bar Sea Grille! The service was top-notch. You made our night fun, and very special.

Our attentive and knowledgeable server, Asikul Mallick

Reggie Pearson and Jonathan Mendez, from the management team. It was especially entertaining when Reggie shared that he has 18 siblings!

Michelin Monday at Forte dei Marmi,Miami Beach

Camille — Mon, 19 Mar 2018 13:15:00 +0000

Have you heard? Every Monday, the new Miami Beach restaurant, Forte dei Marmi, hosts Michelin Mondays. Here’s what you need to know!

Each Monday, Two Michelin Star Chef Antonio Mellino offers a delicious three-course meal for only $60. You’ll want to visit regularly, as each week, Forte dei Marmi features a new pre-fixe menu with a focus on fresh, organic and delicious ingredients. If you tend to go for local organic produce, farm-raised prime meats, and wild-caught seafood and fish, you will be in for a treat at Forte dei Marmi.

Here’s a sneak peak of my visit to this fine dining Italian restaurant:

Absolutely stunning Raw and Cooked Vegetables.

Exceptionally fresh and my favorite dish of the night: Fettucine with Veal Bolognese.

These Hazelnut Dougnuts were heavenly and highly enjoyable.

A candid shot of the manager of Fortei de Marmi!

My experience at Fortei de Marmi was nothing short of top notch service. Everyone was very attentive, and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back, either to take advantage of their three-course Michelin Monday, or any another day, as I appreciated the refined, yet simplicity of their fresh Italian cuisine. The decor of the restaurant creates a very intimate feeling, and would be a perfect place to take and impress your date ;-).

Location: You can find Fortei de Marmi at 150 Ocean Drive in Miami Beach.

Reservations: (786) 276-3095

Thanks to Fortei de Marmi for inviting me in!

Miami Sweek Week 2017: Hot-as-Hell

Camille — Thu, 27 Jul 2017 17:46:27 +0000

Miami Swim Week is officially over, but there is one show in particular that resonated with me. The Hot-as-Hell runway show, was by far my favorite show of Miami Swim Week. Maybe it was the amazing lyrical dance performance to Kanye’s “Ultralight Beam.” Maybe it was the fact that Hot-as-Hell’s show featured diverse group of people from different ethnic backgrounds, shapes, and sizes (even kids and pregnant women). Or maybe it was also that I enjoyed the Hot-as-Hell ready-to-wear swimwear and lingerie from their runway show, and I wanted almost every item! What I do know, is that it was a blast, and I was ecstatic that I was able to witness such a thrilling show. Notable attendees included Allen Crabbe (NBA player), Ashley Nicole (WAGS Miami), Darnelle Nicole (WAGS Miami), Darnell Dockett (retired NFL player), Phillip Wheeler (NFL player), Barbie Blank (WAGS LA), Samantha Hoopes (Sports Illustrated Model), Chantel Jeffries (Actress/Influnecer) and Yes Julz (Influencer).

Take a look, and let me know what you think!
