Taste: *
Cost: $$
This might not be a fair review as I just had the calzone, but I was generally dissappointed with my calzone. I had always wanted to try this place, but never got around to it. I should of just went to Ernesto's for some Mexican next door. The dough was ok, but it costs a buck per toppping (base calzone does not include any toppings, just ricotta cheese and moz). The calzone was a nice size, but was stuffed with tons of moz. I'm not joking, I'd be happy with this, but there was barely any of the mushrooms and sausage i had ordered in there. The moz was also low fat and generally bland... I would of expected some parmesean or some flavor hard cheese to be in there to give it some flavor. I don't know if I have the heart to go back and try a pizza...

The Rusty Pelican (Miami)
Taste: *
Cost: $$$
The food isn't horrible, but for what you're paying, I'd expect a lot more from a place like this. The view is breathtaking and if you wanted to impress someone BEFORE you ate your meal, this definitely is the place to go. I've had steak, prime rib, and fish here to marginal results. The steak just lacks the tenderness and flavor of a well aged steak as they most likely use select cuts of beef at prime prices. The "prime" rib is anything but prime and I had to actually ask for au jus. If I had paid half as much, and half the drive thru Miami traffic, I wouldn't of complained as much, but for all the hassle you just expect more. It's not terrible, its comparable to something you'd eat at Applebee's... on a lackluster night.

Siam Palace (Miami)
Taste: *
Cost: $$
The environment was nice, I just wished the food was better. The shrimp wasn't deveined, and the food was sloppy. Although not entirely horrible, nothing left an impression on my palate which is a bad sign. I usually can find something redeeming about a place. I'm sure people not keen on real thai cuisine will be happy, but for me my money's better spent at Bangkok Bangkok.
