sugarcane raw bar grill. great new spot from owners of sushisamba.
the place is beautiful, airy, big fans, very tropical. decor is lovely, random chairs, tile, wood floors, very rustic and homey.
sugarcane has 3 separate kitchens scattered through out:
* a raw bar
* japanese grill
* hot kitchen
think tapas with an exotic/asian flare - not your typical spanish tapas. if you've been to señora martinez, you know what to expect except this was way more affordable and better tasting in every way. we tried 10 dishes and they came fast and prompt. favorites were:
* florida tomatoes w/ burrata cheese, strawberries and balsamic
* golden beets salad
* goat cheese croquettes w/ marmalade
* the sugarcane lobster roll w/ peanut soy
* madagascar shrimp w/ sweet chili
* yellowtail crudos w/ grapefruit and avocado
last but not least, the torrejas dessert which was soaked in custard for 24 hours and baked w/ fiji apples and served w/ vanilla bean ice cream.
staff was wonderfully flashing smiles left and right. our waiter came thru with every suggestion. can't wait to come back for happy hour and get a pitcher of the red sangria.
ps i added some pics so make sure to scope them out.
