Ladies' night in Brickell - Blue Martini and Rosa Mexicano
We headed down last night to Mary Brickell Village for drinks and dinner. Miami traffic was mercifully light and we found a spot right on 10th street a block down from the village. Arriving at 6:30, we just sneaked under the bar for happy hour (daily from 4pm-7pm) and settled into a vodka tonic. A cool breeze made its way across the outside patio and the sun set blissfully on the horizon. Blue Martini's signature atmosphere and three distinct party areas (patio, stage room, and VIP) ensure that everyone can have the kind of evening they are looking for. Wednesday nights are also ladies nights, meaning we didn't have to rush to the Village. All of their signature martinis are half priced. A six-dollar Bellini always tastes better. Last night, the club also ran a free drink promotion for its female guests. With all of these potent libations, we needed some food and fast. Luckily for us, Rosa Mexicano is right downstairs. We were seated within minutes (a first for me at Rosa) and were soon tucking into some hearty guacamole. For an entree, we had the pollo tacos asados. Rosa serves the cheese, chicken and peppers combo on a mini-cast-iron skillet, with terracotta cups of roasted creamed corn, Mexican baked beans, and a mesclun salad with lime vinaigrette. Refried beans, rice, and hand-made tortillas are served family style.
