I had a wonderful date night at Calle Dragones in Miami with my wife on a Saturday evening. Since…read morewe arrived early, the restaurant was still quiet and empty, which made for a relaxed start to the night. Our server, Lianys, was phenomenal -- attentive, warm, and professional without ever being intrusive. She made excellent recommendations for both appetizers and main courses.
The ambiance was casual elegant, and the live music added so much to the experience. A very talented band was playing, along with a young singer whose jazzy voice was absolutely beautiful. We ordered the black bean risotto and the Chino Latino fried rice, and both dishes were delicious, creative, and full of flavor. The prices were moderate for the quality of the food, service, and atmosphere, and the wine list, while modest, was very well priced. I especially recommend the Albariño, which was excellent quality at a very affordable price and, in my opinion, the best value on the list.
Overall, it was a lovely and romantic night out, and Lianys was definitely the highlight of the evening.
