Review Digest: Lots Of Duds Today
• Yikes! 1 Bleu gets a not-so-stellar review today. In fact, it's completely panned. The only good things mentioned are the view and the wine. [Miami Herald]
• Philippe, on the other hand, gets it right with great upscale Chinese offerings. Their specialty, peking duck, gets rave reviews. [Miami New Times]
• Fish tacos — the perfect way to end a day at the beach. Get them at H2O, an oceanfront cafe in Fort Lauderdale. [Miami Herald]
• Gail Shepherd unknowingly made a reservation at Aizia at the same time an adult entertainment industry convention had taken over the hotel, which is good, because that story is far more interesting than the descriptions of the meal, which apparently wasn't great. (Side note: the hotel and restaurant knew about this convention months beforehand. Why wouldn't they ask diners if they're OK with porn stars parading around during dinner when said diners make the reservation instead of when they're walking in the door?) [Broward-Palm Beach New Times]
• Slainte Irish pub is, unfortunately, mostly a disappointment. The service was glacial, the music loud, and the food not that impressive. [Palm Beach Post]
