Tavern Time
Approachable and elevated cuisine is what you’ll find at James Beard Award-winning Chef Michael Schwartz’s Cypress Tavern. Sink your teeth into the juicy Steak Frites accompanied by thrice-cooked fries or indulge in the savory Wood Roasted Short Rib served with a farro risotto. Loyal foodies can’t stop raving about Chef Schwartz’s culinary creations, exceptional cocktail list and Florida-made beer selection. If you want to finish the meal in sweet silence, opt for the Meyer Lemon Curd Tart and Chocolate Pot De Crème. The only sounds you’ll hear are long mmmmmm’s all the way through; CypressTavern.com.

Make your way to this charming getaway that will make you feel like you’ve traveled all the way to the Adriatic Sea to enjoy favorites like their Turkish Sampler, the perfect trifecta of hummus, tomato walnut dip and fava bean puree served with crusty bread; or get a taste of the Village Pasta, a combination of Greek noodles with ground beef and béchamel sauce; MandolinMiami.com.
