Lee, the review was first rate except for one point that drives me crazy in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, etc. Surfside is NOT MIAMI BEACH! Why do people insist that anything good is either in Miami Beach (usually ALL called "South Beach") Coconut Grove or Coral Gables! I mean Surfside had its own ABC Network Warner Bros tv show, "Surfside Six" for Heavens' sake. Lets give Mel Schlesser, Charlie Burkett and the guys i n Surfside including the Finvarbs and Bigelmans their due respect. The restaurant is in SURFSIDE! not Miami Beach. But, a good, solid, well written article. Regards from Rome.
