I have by no means eaten at every restaurant in Miami, however I believe Michael's Genuine, located in the Design District, to be the best! The very best!! We had no trouble getting a table for two for lunch on a Wednesday. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They answered all of our questions about the menu without hesitation. After much discussion, we decided to start with the pan fried onion dip and homemade potato chips. I'm a sucker for French onion dip; however this was beyond any other I've ever had. The dip was very creamy and the chips were perfectly crisp!!
For entrees, we both ordered the Black Angus Burger and added bacon and cheese. I ordered my burger medium with vermont white cheddar and my friend ordered her's medium rare with blue cheese. This burger was brought down straight from heaven. It was simply marvelous. The flavors of the cheddar and bacon and the amazing brioche bun cannot be described as anything other than absolutely perfect. This is probably one of the freshest burgers I've ever had. This brioche bun tasted like a croissant directly from France. I know...I've been! It was buttery and toasted to perfection.
I cannot say enough about this burger; however dessert is also a thing of beauty at this fantastic establishment. My friend ordered what they call Pie in a Jar. It was a small mason jar layered with peanut butter moose, Oreo crumbles, marshmallow fluff, and chocolate covered crispies. All topped off with the freshest whipped cream I have ever tasted! It was heaven in a jar!! I ordered the Tangerine Creamsicle Pot de Crème. It consisted of doughnuts coated in brown sugar and a little pot of tangerine cream that was so velvety you could eat it with a spoon! The doughnuts were divine! Warm and fantastically soft! There was also a side of blackberry jam that gave the dish a great tang! And last but definitely not least, we ordered the Candies, Cookies, and Confections to go. These cookies were unbelievable! So fresh and amazingly sweet!
All in all, this was absolutely one of the best meals I have ever had in my life! Simply fantastic!! I cannot wait to go back!!
