I know that from the things that I’ve been posting on my blog it looks like we did nothing but eat LOL. I swear this is the last restaurant review I’m doing from the Florida trip!
We were introduced to Ta-boo American Bistro & Bar through my friend Helena, whom I’ve met in Paris an year ago. We wanted to meet and catch up while I’m in Florida, so she suggested this restaurant. Ta-boo is situated on Worth Avenue, an upscale shopping district. Squeezed between two luxurious clothing stores, the entrance of the restaurant appeared to be a little hidden since it didn’t have a big obvious sign advertising it. Once we entered though, we were surprised by how spacious and comfortable is was inside.
When I looked at the menu, I was a little doubtful about the combination of brie, pear and grapes. However, with the strong recommendation from my friend, I decided to give it a try. It was an excellent decision on my part, since it turned out to be delicious! Some how the soft texture of the brie worked very well with the sweetness and crunchiness of the pear and grapes. I’m usually not a big fan of pizzas, let alone ones with fruits on them, but I was really impressed by this one. I highly recommend you guys to order this if you ever get the chance to eat at Ta-boo.
Le bf ordered the steak, which was very tasty as well (also recommended by my friend):
We were so impressed by this restaurant, we decided to come back again, this time with le bf’s parents as well, as our last lunch before they leave Florida the next day.
I ordered the mussels, which had an amazing meuniere sauce/soup. The portion was, as usual, a bit too much for me to handle on my own though :P
Le bf’s mom ordered a simple, classic pizza, which was quite good as well:
Le bf’s tuna steak burger came with an interesting seaweed salad in it which he didn’t like, but I happily devoured.
Le bf’s dad took the tuna carpaccio salad:
We also ordered the fried calamari to share:
ALSO, they have a bowl of free chocolate mint sticks by the entrance, so don’t forget to be a cheap Asian and take a bunch of them before leaving like I did :P (What can I say? I love free stuff!)
