The Globe

Cute place, with outdoor seats but the food did not measure up. I ordered lemonade and it tasted like a terrible powder. Then the cheeseburger was nothing special. The steak was chewy and the Globe salad was okay but the dressing was sweet with no other flavor. I would not recommend this place and the even though the waitress was nice, she seemed too busy to care for our table.

In Coral Gables for the afternoon (not from around here) - one shot at lunch in a place I haven't been yet, so I googled best wine list in Coral Gables...Gayot gives me The Globe as its first choice, with 20 wines by the glass, THE place where "execs" meet, yada yada yada.  Suffice it to say that the 4 choices I have for a red are disappointing (one per grape, and among the choices of vintner, Cupcake and Blackstone!!!  Really?). So, I am currently trying to enjoy a run of the mill light (not white) canned tuna salad with mayo and some artichoke hearts, and mesclun greens - far from the Mediterranean style I expected.  It's busy, lots of suits for lunch, so a nice crowd to watch alone, but NOT a place for foodies or anyone interest in a good wine list by the glass.  All in all, disappointing from the not warm welcome and the mediocre at best food.  Watch out - Gayot doesn't have a clue!

The only reason for three stars is the jazz and the quality of the servers.  The jazz was great and worth coming back for.  Tye food on the other hand is forgetable at best, and that is because I choose not to remember....  the dolphin fingers were so soggy they either had to be frozen, microwaved, or both.  My pear ravioli had to be fished out of a soup of sauce (previously I thought there was no such thing as too much sauce) and the horibble low quality blue cheese had to be scraped off the top.  It's such a shame,  if the food was decent I would be a regular just for the live jazz.  Guess it would be ok to buy some wine and sit at the bar for the jazz but I dont think i'll ever eat here again.  Shame its walking distance from my house...
