Miami Spice review: Kiki On the River

What we had: The Miami Spice menu at Kiki (only available during dinner), showcases their most popular dishes. We started our meal with the grilled octopus appetizer (olive-oil-braised octopus, red onions, Greek oregano, fried capers, fava bean puree), which was tender and perfectly seasoned with the right amount of salty flavors. For our main course, we indulged in the pan-seared scallops. They were a generous, filling and hearty. The asparagus pureed orzo pasta was a well-balanced side dish to the entree. We went traditional with the restaurant’s most popular dessert, the baklava, a sweet taste of Greece.

Who should go to this venue: Not lacking in romance factor, Kiki also manages to offer chic riverfront dining with personality and flavor. Mediterranean lovers who like good food and a trendy scene should add Kiki On the River to their list. The food measures up to the hype. This is a great spot for a date, to celebrate a special occasion, and a girls’ night out.
