A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

The Screaming Eagle is one part South Beach and one part night club. This French fusion restaurant is draped with gauzy white curtains and even offers a whole section where you can eat your dinner on a canopy bed. While that sounds lovely, we opt for the traditional table.

We start with the special appetizer for the night, the truffle pasta with prosciutto and a 60 degree egg ($22.50). A really nice dish, flavorful and the egg was a really nice addition.

We ordered the USDA Skirt steak, grilled and provençal marinated served with crispy polenta, ratatouille and truffle sauce ($34.50). A really nice dish, the meat was tender and flavorful and it was a great, light dish.

I had the Thai caramelized shrimp with mixed vegetables and spicy noodles ($35.50). A nice surprise to a mainly French inspired menu. I loved the flavors of this dish.

For dessert, the trilogy of chocolate mousse: layers of dark, white and milk chocolate mousse served with chocolate ice cream ($9.50). Great presentation – and the mousse was a really nice way to finish off the meal. We left full without being stuffed.

And as an added treat, with the coffee came a cute little dish of mini macaroons, cookies and madeleines.

Overall, the service was good. It started out strong at the beginning but trailed off at the end as our server got a few larger sized parties. We were finished with our dessert by the time the cup of coffee arrived.
