Destination Miami: Rumba Palace

The lady at the front desk also suggested Ocean Drive as a good area to dine at. Ocean Drive runs along the beach and is filled with tons of hotels, restaurants, and bars, most of which are pretty famous.

For example, there’s the Clevelander. It’s a hotel, a bar, and a crazy hot spot, known for their wet t-shirt contests and swim wear contests during spring break.

Destination Miami: Sushi Siam

Sushi Siam (located on 647 Lincoln Road)

It was our second night in Miami, and we decided to check out another restaurant on Lincoln Road. Sushi Siam. Just as the name of the restaurant suggested, it offered a combination of Japanese and Thai food. There was a lot of outdoor seating. Peeking in through the glass windows, you can see their sushi bar and the chefs preparing these awesome sushi boats (which we also decided to order).

There was also a live performance on Lincoln Road that night. Conveniently, our table was nearby the stage. So, having dinner outdoors while listening to some random band play music sounded extra delightful.

Destination Miami: Sushi Samba

It was my first night at Miami. I was tired, grouchy and hungry when I arrived at the Miami International Airport. My flight was delayed for a lovely 2 hours and by the time I got off the plane the sun was already down. Once we got to South Beach, we checked into the hotel, dropped off my luggage, and quickly began searching for the nearest hotspot to find some dinner. The lady at the Front Desk of the hotel recommended to head over to Lincoln Road.

The night view of Lincoln Road was pretty amazing. It’s this long road filled with restaurants, bars, lounges, retail stores and more. Most of the restaurants offer outdoor seating, and so the street is lit up very well. There were a large variety of foods to choose from.

As we started walking down the road, Sushi Samba caught my eye. It was full off orange and yellow lights. (It’s located at 600 Lincoln Road.) There was plenty of outdoor seating. (I really enjoy outdoor seating. However, in New York City, outdoor seating might not always be most pleasant, due to the noise and air pollution.) I took a quick glimpse at the menu. They offer fusion food: blend of Japanese, Brazilian, and Peruvian cuisine.
