This past weekend, the South Beach Seafood Festival provided a day filled with delicious
food and fun on the beautiful beachside of Ocean drive! The perfect weather combined
with endless combinations of delicious seafood delicacies proved to be the perfect
combination to bring the people of Miami out to enjoy in an afternoon filled with
seafood festivities! Miami Beach’s hottest restaurants were cooking up popular plates
for people to enjoy! The dishes ranged in price and complexity, guaranteeing to 
satisfy everyone’s taste palates!

General admission tickets were sold which allowed patrons to purchase particular
entrée’s that appealed to them, or for the true foodies a VIP package was available
which inclusively provided tastes from all the restaurants participating in the 
seafood festival. We arrived at the festival mid-afternoon, and enjoyed hours of
tasty treats! There was rockin live music, as well as a family friendly kiddie corner
with bouncie houses and games for people of all ages to enjoy!

I am a huge fan of seafood, so it was no surprise that I had to try everything that
was offered at least once! (and a few I couldn’t help but to go back for seconds!)
Among my favorites were the light and tasty seared scallops with parsnip puree and
short rib ragout from The Park Central Café, as well as thedecadent lobster ravioli
provided by Cibo Wine Bar. There was a great turn out, so needless to say the lines
got a bit lengthy at times, but the chef’s working the restaurant booths worked 
hard and provided amazingly quick service! Several popular executive chef’s put 
on wonderfully entertaining cooking exhibitions throughout the day. The crowd also
enjoyed interactive demonstrations, as well as sample cocktails from Stoli, Bacardi,
Herradura master mixologists. The SoBe Seafood Festival was a wonderful experience!
People of all ages came and enjoyed a day of good eats and entertainment!
