Salmon & Salmon Restaurant — Restaurant in Miami

Food is great, price is reasonable for seafood. They have a lovely decor even though it is a small restaurant with 9 tables at close proximity with an additional “bar” type seating of 3 more chairs. My mom had the clam chowder which she enjoyed although the clams still had some sand grains (at least you know it is fresh made). The complimentary bread was perfect (crunchy shell with soft warm bread inside) and it comes with butter (that isn’t frozen like some places so it was easy to spread) and a garlic-cilantro dip (nice but I prefer the butter). I ordered a layered potato which is mash potatoes (fresh golden potatoes) mixed with shrimp garnished with avocado and tomato slices. It was good but I am not a fan of shrimp in general. Parking in the plaza might be tight on busy hours but at 8pm, most businesses are closed so we didn’t need to use the additional parking in the rear. When paying for the bill, make sure you look at the tip (because it is added automatically). Staff was friendly and helpful with recommendations. I ordered the tacu tacu (black beans and rice) with steak. My mom got noodles with steak (she said it needed more seasoning but it was well cooked). My dish was more of a refried beans rice mixture. The steak was delicious although it could have used a bit more salt. Everything was very aromatic and huge portions. Next time I won’t order appetizers unless I am sharing because I am so full I might not make it to dessert. They have tres leches, flan, suspiros (I think it’s baked merengue) and tiramisu. I decided to box the rest of my meal and save room for dessert. Tiramisu was made in a round container with a top for those who want to take it home. I am sure they get it from the same bakery that makes their dinner rolls. All delicious. The sauce on my steak was almost as good as my mom’s. 5 stars all the way! When I got the bill, it was a bit confusing so beware (the only thing I don’t like is the lack of automated billing like other places- you don’t get a receipt so I took a picture) “SC” is their code for the tip. And they charge 8% tax (which is illegal since tax is 7% in Miami). But since they automatically charge 15% tip, I will just let it slide as a total 16% tip since the food is really good and fast. They gave out these cute little mints the size of a corn kernel at the end. So enjoy a good meal here, just be aware of food prices for when the bill come around.

Update: came back and this time I tried the New England clam chowder and it was good (but both times it came super hot so be careful otherwise you can burn your tongue). I also ordered the bistec encebollado (steak with onions and tomatoes). It was tender and flavorful, however it was hard to cut with the butter knife they provided. I later asked for a sharper knife and they admitted they forgot to provide me with a steak knife. I order a lemon suspiro which was a lemon custard top with a caramel cream sprinkled with cinnamon powder. It tasted like caramel and lemon (not my favorite but there might be people who like this). My mom ordered barayo which is an egg white fluff dessert with peaches inside. My mom loved it but I didn’t want to try it. Maybe next time.

Update: came with my mom and sister this time and the food was excellent as always but we did find the clam chowder a bit more watery (our theory is as follows - the thick chowders on our last two visits were probably due to the fact it was near closing time and most of the water has evaporated from the stock). My sister ordered the fish fillet in green coriander sauce which she enjoyed and said the sauce was light and not overpowering. My mom ordered beef and seafood pasta which she thought was a bit salty this time. Bathroom is a single stall at the end of the establishment which is ok in cleanliness and it had a counter which was convenient for ladies with purses like me.

Took pictures of the menu this time so people can see what they offered and noticed they did mentioned that they added the tip automatically...

The food was good as usual, but I'm leaving a start review because each time I come here, I never get to pay the price I see on the menu. They summarize the items into categories, round up, and you always pay more. I last visited the restaurant on February 11th and intentionally took photos of the menu because I wanted to compare it to the receipt. They overcharged for every single item we ordered. When I confronted them about it, they gave me three excuses; the meal you requested was not on the menu (which it was and I showed them), then she said that when I pay with a credit card, the system automatically charges more per item; and then she said the prices are up because of inflation. Of course, I told them that whatever the price is, it must be on the menu. I told her I would not be an extra dime for the ordered items, and she adjusted the bill. In summary, the servers did not take any accountability for the behavior they had going on for years and were defensive and rude about it. It's a sad situation because the cook does a great job, and I can read in the reviews that other guests also have a...

Ok i was invited here by two friends who spoke nothing but good things about this place.. i don't know if we came on a bad day or what? But the waitress was always confused for two drinks that we had she kept confusing who had what and kept bringing the wrong drinks. The food wasnt bad but for its location it was pricey for such a small restuarant, 18$ per plate is too much and yea as for the two drinks we ordered was a corona and a drink i cant even write correctly was 11$ i see why they dont add drink prices on the menu, makes me feel they charhe you whatever they want. The only meal we had a problem was with the churrasco that my friend ordered well done and the lady brought it medium rare, again its as if she wasnt even really paying attention to us or cared. We asked for more bread and wouldnt bring it to us it took us asking another waitress that came to bring us our bread. Not the best experience not a place i plan on going back to. For 90$ tab for three people ill go some where nicer. If you do like the food here i just say order and pick it up don't waste your...
