Brasserie Central - Coral Gables

Super slow night yet service was slow and terrible.

The happy hour deals on cocktails and appetizers at this restaurant are excellent. However, the items we ordered off the happy hour menu were not worth the price, such as the $18 endive salad and $11 slice of cake. Our server was friendly but often absent for extended periods.

The food was good, but I was disappointed with the crepe suzette dessert. The service was very good and friendly.

I liked the Miami Spice menu. I chose the green salad, the salmon and the profiteroles (cream puffs filled with vanilla ice cream instead of whipped cream, with warm dark chocolate poured over them). I also enjoyed sitting outside under the big umbrellas. Lovely evening.

Unfortunately, the food quality has gone down. The artichoke was over cooked, soggy, and bitter; the wine was bad/old (you could taste that it had been open for a while), the vegetables that came with the fish were also extremely soggy.
