Tables are set up next to the farmers market. I opted for a glass of rose and it was really good (and I'm not a wine drinker). The plates came out at a good pace. Everything was really good and tasty. I tasted some new things (e.g. fennel, roasted olives...). I wouldn't mind eating here again, but it was not mind blowing either. It's outside dining so if there's no breeze then it must be very hot sitting there. if you love the better things in life and are a vegetarian then this is definitely the spot for you! It is very different for Miami! I'm sure there's nothing like this around.

Josette S. posted the event, and this was my second time at Chef Allen's Farm to Table dinners, since I'd previously indulged at an Elite event a few years back. There is still free parking across the street. The dining area had various farmer market booths around selling vegetables, jams and a tasty cherry Italian ice. To a carnivore like me, salads are typically just the app or first course, but as a vegetarian meal everything was a salad. We started with a family-style plate of various (yellow, red, and roma) tomatoes and fried okra. I found out veggie dishes can be fried! The third course of roasted potatoes and red peppers along with a cool yet spicy red pepper hummus. This contained my usual veggie plates so it was easily my favorite! Main course was a piece of eggplant parmesan with just the right amount of tomato, cheese and a side of wild rice. I ate most of the eggplant "meat" but left the skin. The second course, other than the shredded carrots, was the one I could have passed on. Like President Bush, Broccoli wouldn't be prudent, not gonna do it.. Dessert was a rich, not overly sweet, piece of chocolate brownie. Though I said in was going to be a troll and have a burger afterward, I was actually satisfied! Chef Allen himself spoke the first event I went (during the elite event) giving a history of how each dish related to the dinners theme. However, he wasn't there at Monday's event so we missed out on that. Still, the manager and staff from the Books and Books cafe were very pleasant and informative. I'd definitely give the cows another break sometime.

The line must have had 30 people in it, on a Friday morning??? What the heck is this about... I drove off, no time to stop; I am on a work mission. I went to my printer and he said "oh my, it's so worth the wait..." Okay, so I went back - I am not going to talk about the wait because it was worth every minute - I know why people are in line and surrounding the window - this is clear cut: Fabulous meat : jerk checken, jerk RIBS! I could smell the smokiness as it floated through the air, all the spices kicking in - I am salivating... I was hungry, had not had breakfast, now its after 12... Jerk ribs? I never heard of such; that's why I was willing to back! I picked up lunch for me and printer. Let's talk about the rules: NO SIDES! they do not sell sides unless you are placing a catering order. Pre-Order? NO, not unless you are ordering 5 plates and more.... I had the opportunity to meet Chef Tally and his daughter, Tallia (obvious namesake). I almost walked off without sauce. I just cannot tell you how good the meat was - the ribs were so succulent, flavor packed - JERK RIBS. I never thought of it; I have been eating BarBQ forever, this was a twist that I am in love with. Chef has a cool operation, I was wondering how he could serve all those people - he has a killer (as in giant) smoker that gets the job done. My next event, I will let you know how the sides work because I will call Chef Tally's World Famous Jerk for catering! In the meantime, I stopped at Publix for a small side of Southern Potato Salad and I was a very happy camper.

The location itself is truly unique, and the carousel bar was the most amazing feature it really stood out. The venue was decorated with festive Christmas decor, including giant ornaments, which added to the atmosphere. The staff was super nice! We enjoyed a delicious drink, and the book event was super cute and well-decorated, set up to the right side of the building. Behind the book fair, I was surprised to see a horse race in progress watching the beautiful horses was a highlight I didn't expect. There were multiple food stations throughout Carousel Club, so it's a great place to get together with friends, try food from different vendors, and enjoy drinks in a lively, memorable setting.

The Carousel Club is a fun and unique take on the bar experience. They've transformed their bar…read morearea into a rotating carousel, decorated with all the lights and mirrors of a traditional carousel. The entrance is a zen-like pathway lined with a green canopy of palm trees. We walked into a very spacious outdoor area. There were comfortable padded lounge chairs spread throughout the space. To access these, a reservation or purchase of a hookah is needed. We headed straight to the bar to find out they do not have a traditional cocktail menu. We were told by the bartender, that she'd be able to make simple cocktails if needed. I do think that they are loosing a good opportunity to stand out with creative carousel themed cocktails. This is also a no cash bar. As we're sipping our simple gin and tonic's, looking around we noticed the games scattered around the area. There were a few table tennis and paddle games. I must comment on DJ who was spinning this night. He had such a wide range of music! From r&b, Latin, dancehall, pop, he had everyone on their feet dancing. The atmosphere is very chill, breezy and relaxing. Will be returning!

I believe they run from $5-6 ... the beef one I got was $6 and the mushroom and cheese one was $5. I loved them both, for different reasons: the beef was very beefy (haha) and savory, and the mushroom was more veggie-tasting and light, despite the cheese. The previous Yelper on here commented about the price, but honestly these are very large - you could get two if you are very hungry, or one for a snack or light meal, IMO. I only wish I left more room in my stomach for dinner ... I'll have to have these tomorrow for a snack or small meal! (my hotel room has an oven, luckily!)

They also had mangonada which always sounds like a good idea. But what really caught our attention was something different, corn in a cup. We were curious and considered it. As we were walking around the kiosk, we noticed the staff setting up sample cups and they offered us a sample of the corn in a cup. What are the odds of that happening? Ha. We tried it and loved it so we decided to get it. We ordered the #2: Churarto Elote Cup. It's one of the spicy options. Although I asked for hot sauce on the side since I was sharing this with my daughter. This option has mayo, cotija cheese, Tajin, Doritos, Cheetos, Takis, hot sauce, and lime juice. It's a good size so you get lots of corn. Lots of flavors and spice. We mixed up the items and it was quite tasty. The hot sauce adds that extra kick! My daughter also got the Jarritos Pineapple drink too. Like a sparkling pineapple soda. Too sweet for me but she enjoyed it. You can also "Create Your Own Cup" option too. Next time you see this in the mall and this is your jam, try it out!
