Did I mention the $4 glass of Borsao? There is absolutely nothing wrong with a $4 glass of wine. Kind of reminds me of the ol' Stop Miami that used to be around the corner [sniff]. For photos of the croquetas at Sra. Martinez (and the duck and foie gras sausage with white beans in a port reduction) please go to http://dailycocaine.blogspot.com/2008/12/michelle-bernstein-threatens-michael.html
At this point, to answer a poster's question, I would try Sra. Martinez first, as it is a little more casual. Also, the booze-the bartender, Matthew Goldberg, is a genius behind the stick. As far as the food, just order what you like-that's the only way to see if you like MB's (or anyone's) cooking style.

Everytime I try to go taste some of Michelle's well known cuisine, something happens and I cannot make it. So, the closest connection I have with her so far is watching her on "Check Please" on Channel 2. Her show makes me hungry all the time, and although I tried many restaurants featured on the program, I never got a chance to try hers. Do you have any recomendations as far as dish to absolutely try once I finally get there? Also which of the two restaurants is the ONE to try? Just her personality on the show made me go to the "Tribute to the Chefs" during the food convention on South beach and she was so down to earth. She talked about the difficulties of being a restaurant owner in this present economy. For such a persona, she is humble and so funny. It is a pleasure to watch her on Tv and hopefully to meet her one day in her own restaurant!... Read more
The service is very good, the waiters are friendly and very attentive! The Pinchos de Cordero and patatas bravas were also very good!!
You are so right! She IS adorable! And you should also try duck and foie gras sausage with white beans in a port reduction. Yummy!
