Miami Metrozoo is a zoo that is great. It got hurricane damage back in 1992 with Hurricane Andrew and then got another chunk of damage with the most recent hurricanes such as Wilma. But, overall, this is a zoo that is very well designed. It could use more animals and maybe a theme park or something. I believe the county has plans for something like this but they have not approved it yet. We shall see what the outcome is.

Miami's Best Pizza is a local spot for good pizza. The crust is on the thin side -- not exactly brick oven style, but tasty. The toppings were fresh and the pizza was prepared quickly. The staff was very friendly. It is popular for carry-out as well as eating in. Very family friendly. When we were there -- there was a little league team eating after a game. It is located across from the University of Miami -- so there is often a college crowd as well. A good choice for take-out or a casual night out with the family.

Literally have been going here for years and years. Authentic taste nicely spiced will make it more or less spicy per your request. I don't think I have ever had anything from there that I did not like. Quite pricey but nice for a special occasion or to satisfy your craving. Nice atmosphere. You are sure to run into someone you know while eating dinner here. Recommend this to anyone in Miami seeking out a memorable dinning experience and promise you will add it to your list of must visit restaurants. Tastes great to go as well.

We visited for the first time on Christmas Eve. It was a pre-fix menu and a wine flight was also available.
My husband and I each chose different selections for all courses, and everything we had was absolutely delicious! My filet mignon melted in my mouth. The bread pudding (not usually a favorite of mine) made me a convert as it was simply the best bread puddingI have ever had in my life. The service was wonderful and wait staff was very friendly and helpful. We did not have reservations but they fit us in at the bar which was very comfortable. This meal will go down as one of the best I have ever had, (seconded by my husband). P.S. the chestnut soup made with white truffle oil is also to die for.
Pros: The Food, Ambience, Wait Staff, Unpretentious Wine Sommelier
Cons: Parking

I get a bit stumped whenever I get the news that a friend/relative is flying in for a visit. South Beach is crowded and has parking issues. Aventura mall is great, but people who come to Miami usually want to see something distinctive. Viscaya to the rescue! You can go it alone (without a tour guide), but I recommend you call ahead to arrange for a guided tour, then spend the rest of the day exploring. It's absolutely exquisite, both inside the main house and in the Italian gardens.

Markis: The barmaid you are referring to is actually very nice and usually works very fast. I believe her name is Crystal. When you first meet her she can be intimidating, but believe me that she is very nice. You might just have caught her on a bad night. Everyone is entitled. I am sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience. Give them another shot.
BBV: I am a local artist and I happen to play at The Road a lot. I'm not sure how you got your information, but Tobacco Road always pays me when I play for them. The tickets thing you are referring to is not a Tobacco Road gig, those are festivals organized through a 3rd party promoter. I am sorry to say that your facts are a bit off.
As for the reference to "bad music" I will say this: The Road is very eclectic. Sometimes they have jazz bands, sometimes heavy metal bands, sometimes folk, sometimes blues. If you happen to show up on a night when someone is playing a style of music that is not to your liking you will not enjoy the show. My advice to you is to check their website before going and find out who is playing and what style of music they play. If you don't like heavy metal then you should not be there when they have heavy metal bands. Get what I mean?
Lastly, I want everyone to know this:
The Road has one of the most amazing bowls of chili I have ever eaten. And every Friday they have all drinks for 96 cents during Happy Hour - which is pretty amazing and awesome I think.
And if you ever hear of a band playing there called "The Coffee House Gypsies" you should really attend and check it out. That band rocks. Hehehehe. And yes, that's my band, and I am shamelessly promoting myself here so shoot me. We are also on iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby, MySpace, FaceBook, Rhapsody, and a zillion other sites. Just look us up in Google.
And oh, yeah... we play at The Road almost once a month, so go see us...
SEE Y'ALL AT TOBACCO ROAD!!!! :)
