Dishes
🟢Handmade Crispy Onion Rings 💰180
A stunning dish when it arrives at the table, quite different from typical onion rings found outside. Each ring is sizable, made from hand-cut onions 🧅, totaling 1️⃣2️⃣ rings, and pairs perfectly with the prepared tartar sauce—ideal for drinking!

🟢Spanish Spicy Mussel Pot 💰200
This dish has a mild spicy 🌶️ kick. The spicy soup base pairs well with the mussels, creating a refreshing taste. The soup complements the onion rings perfectly!

Grapefruit Oil and Vinegar Fresh Shrimp and Squid Salad in Wooden Bowl 💰260
Fresh salad 🥗 topped with peeled shrimp 🦐 and squid 🦑, drizzled with the restaurant's special oil and vinegar dressing, offers a refreshing contrast in this heavy American restaurant.

🟢Mexican Smoked Charcoal-Grilled Half Chicken 💰390
My favorite dish! I will definitely order it again on my second visit. The half chicken is marinated to a perfect balance of salty and sweet, while the meat is very tender and retains its juices; even the breast meat is moist and delicious without needing special dipping sauce—though using the sauce provides a different flavor experience!

Smoked Charcoal-Grilled Pork Ribs (half portion) 💰480
Another classic dish, the seasoning for the pork ribs is quite robust. You can enjoy it with the caramelized pineapple 🍍 slices prepared by the restaurant, which helps to balance the flavors. The meat is extremely tender, reaching a point where it's almost falling off the bone!

🟢Slightly Tipsy Grapefruit Drink 💰190
Strawberry Margarita 💰180
Both drinks are not only photogenic but also thoughtfully crafted. Served in salted rim glasses, they help to minimize bitterness, making the drinks smoother. Just be sure not to drink too quickly or you might get tipsy easily! 😂

Parking
The restaurant does not have a designated parking lot near the Chindien business district but you can park in nearby paid parking spaces 🅿️, which is quite convenient!

Salt and Stone
Italian台北市
Salt and stone is really amazing and worth the relatively higher prices. It really reminds me of good American restaurants, not adjusting the palette at all to Taiwan (which is often what I am looking for). So flavor wise that means less sweet, more salt, and this was noticeable as I was raving about how amazing the chicken was my friend was talking about how salty it was and needing a coke. After lunch we got a few things from the bakery to enjoy at home, which were all very tasty. Tomato cheese baguette. Yum. Would come here again if I'm in the area, which is not often.

Joanie's Blue Crab Cafe
AmericaOchopee
Located at the side of the Tamiami Trail, not far from taking the road to Everglades City Joanie's Blue Crab Cafe offers a perfect stop after visiting Everglades City and a tour in the Everglades. Just as we did on our way heading to Homestead/Florida City.We just had the Key Lime pie and it was fantastic. A perfect citrus sourness and coming directly from the fridge made it a great refreshment from the heat. The location itself is quite cozy and people were super friendly. They collect Police batch patches from all over the world. So if you want to make them happy you can bring one for their collection.

Kaya Island Eats
AmericaKey West
Kaya Island Eats serves a pacific and caribbean inspired cuisine at an outdoor venue.We had Killer fish Tacos, lightly blackened served with a fresh mango, pineapple salsa and delicious key lime cilantro sauce, very nice and light combination and the Island BBQ Pork Sandwich coming with a nice fruity sauce. If you want it a bit more exotic make sure to try their signature dish, the Ahi Poke nachos, served with wasabi aioli, tobiko caviar, and seaweed salad atop sesame. The menu offers something for every taste and makes you want to try everything. Staff was super friendly and we would def. come back.
