Ah, Brickell, Miami's concrete jungle; the city's attempt at creating a 'Manhattan' without actually providing the ease of public transportation to accompany it. Amidst the constant traffic and construction sits a great restaurant that recently opened it's doors:
Marion. This restaurant evokes definite European flair. From the waitstaff, who hail from
Paris (Hi, David!), to the exquisite decore, everything about this restaurant screams NOT MIAMI - and
that is arguably one of its best traits.
The lighting is dim,
the wine is fantastic, and the ingredients are all
high quality and imported. When you visit, you will note that to your right sits a
gorgeous bar, to your left, a quaint
coffee station, and a few steps ahead of you, a display of
cured, hanging meats, cheeses, breads and fresh fish that will make your mouth water. Near the entrance is an old-school rack displaying current magazines and newspapers; a testament to the level of attention paid to detail.
