NexxtCafe
You're in Miami Beach on a beautiful spring night, it's not too hot or humid, you're out with friends after going to a museum reception. What do you want to top off the evening? Al fresco dining on a trendy and lively street (say Lincoln Road?). Of course. Where do you go, well, there, in the middle of Lincoln Road sits NexxtCafe (what is it with the lack of spaces? Is it supposed to be "webby"? Is it an attempt to be more "green" by saving ink, paper and pixels?).
Quick, grab a table for eight before someone else does (which they will) and take a seat. You'll get friendly and lively service, big drinks, and, sorry to say, mediocre food.
Well, you can't really have it all!
We had some pretty good appetizers (fried calamari, summer rolls, Chinese lettuce wraps). But then I made the mistake of ordering an entree. Maybe it was just having had a couple of fabulous meals, maybe I ordered wrong, but what came was the "Border Salad".
The waiter rolled up in a forklift and dropped off a heaping helpin' of chopped lettuce and lots of other stuff ... it wasn't bad, but, well, it just wasn't good. But there was a lot of it, which, well, means there was a lot of it!
Nexxttime, I'll stick with the appetizers, drinks, and people watching!
p.s. do visit the website, it has one of the cooler "restaurant themed" interactive menus I've seen
