Michy's Miami

6927 Biscayne Blvd.
Miami, FL



Michy’s is located in the “Upper East Side” of town.  Dinning style is casual.  As you walk in you’ll notice the dim glowing lights coming from the chandeliers spread out about the room. The crowd consisted of a mixed array, from the older to the younger looking. The room felt a bit tight and very dark. No kids involved in this production. For starters they brought us raisin bread with butter, which would have gone nicely with a martini, but Michy’s only serves beer and wine.  The menu has several options to choose from, or you can go with the chef’s tasting menu (the chef chooses for you) and let your palate take a ride! I decided to choose for myself. I started with the creamy polenta (truffle, poached egg, bacon bits), jamon serrano & blue cheese croquetas (fig marmalade), and tuna tartar. As you can imagine, the tastes of all these dishes were delightful.  For main course, I had the Chupe or Peruvian seafood stew (Florida caught, fish, mussels, clams,) this too was delicious. The food was most enjoyable, good quality ingredients from local farms. The service on the other hand, was not what I expected. Our waiter Rafael failed to thrill. Even though we told him we were new comers, he was not very welcoming or informative about the food choices.  To make matters worse my water had a fly floating in it. Would I return? Probably not...
