Opening (Finally): Por Fin Restaurant
This restaurant is so aptly named, don't you think? ('Por fin' means 'at last' in Spanish.) If you visit the website, it still says that the restaurant "eagerly anticipates its grand opening in Spring 2007." Heh. Right. Anyway, we gave them a call today after a chowhound posted about some activity at the restaurant on Wednesday. The very nice man who answered the phone informed us that they're shooting to open on Friday, February 15, but given how things have been going, it will likely happen the following Monday. So that's good news!
Here's the description from the website:
Por Fin offers diners a unique experience by serving authentic dishes from Spain, Southern France, and Italy, fused with creative touches of the 21st century. Por Fin's 2nd floor is laced with plush seating in a lounge setting; a perfect place to enjoy your favorite cocktail after work or to begin your evening out.But what everyone's talking about is head chef Marc Vidal, a native of Cataluña who has a little restaurant called El Bulli on his resume. Hopefully he'll be able to bring a few innovative touches to the menu.
Anything newer or on the way to Dade? [Chowhound]

I checked out Por Fin Restaurant and Lounge, and its A+ in my book! My salmon was the best I've had in Miami, juicy in the center and perfectly seared and crispy on top. The dishes were beautiful artfully displaying good portions. The staff was friendly. informative, and and attentive. All in all a great experience.
Oh and I had a crushed iced mango margarita with mint at their bar upstairs that topped off the evening perfectly. I was told they have lunch specials and happy hour. I can't wait till next time!!!
