I'd
never
had
the
Feast
of
the
Seven
Fishes,
even
though
I'm
half
Italian.
The
Miami
New
Times
posted
an
article
about
where
to
eat
Christmas
Eve
and
Christmas
Day
in
the
Miami
metropolitan
area.
The
Lure
Fishbar
caught
my
attention
partly
because
the
fixed
price
four
course
menu
was
affordable
($65),
while
other
places
were
priced
up
to
$195.
That
coupled
with
the
photographs
of
the
interior
was
enough
to
sell
me
on
the
place.
One
of
the
best
dining
experiences
I've
ever
had
in
my
life.
Started
off
at
the
bar
with
a
Four
B's
cocktail
that
featured
Bulleit
bourbon.
This
is
one
of
the
best
craft
bourbon
cocktails
I
have
ever
tasted.
Proceeded
to
my
table
and
started
off
with
a
glass
of
Taittinger
Brut
champagne
and
four
Beau
Soleil
New
Brunswick
East
Coast
oysters
on
the
half
shell.
Both
the
champagne
and
the
oysters
were
chilled
to
perfection.
The
presentation
of
the
oysters
was
spectacular.
Carefully
shucked
in
their
deep
cup,
with
delicious
liquor.
They
came
with
cocktail
sauce,
mignonette
and
two
cute
little
bottles
of
Tabasco
sauce.
I
chose
a
glass
of
2015
Simonnet-Febvre
Chablis
with
my
meal.
The
first
course
of
my
dinner
was
an
Ora
King
Salmon
Crudo.
Artfully
prepared
with
a
clever
combination
of
herbs,
spices,
olives
and
pine
nuts.
The
second
course
was
a
Frito
Misto
featuring
calamari
and
shrimp
with
an
arugula
pesto
and
beurre
fondue.
The
server
poured
a
bit
of
the
fondue
over
the
dish
from
a
small
saucière.
My
only
regret
was
I
didn't
have
a
way
to
savor
more
of
the
fondue
once
I
had
consumed
the
course.
It
was
amazing!
The
third
course
was
Cioppino:
a
pan-roasted
snapper
with
mussels,
octopus,
San
Marzano
tomato,
crab
butter
and
focaccia.
Quite
a
delicious
cap-off
before
dessert.
One
minor
detail
was
overlooked:
one
of
the
mussels
was
not
open,
so
I
chose
not
to
consume
it.
I
inserted
an
uramaki
spicy
tuna
roll
before
the
dessert
course,
an
artistic
interpretation
of
Chocolate
Tiramisu.
Ended
my
night
with
an
exceptional
espresso.
This
was
one
of
the
most
near
perfect
dining
experiences
I've
ever
had
in
my
life.
My
only
complaints
are
that
the
water
glass
remained
empty
too
long
throughout
the
night
and
at
times
the
service
was
a
bit
sluggish
and
inattentive.
It's
difficult
being
a
party
of
one.
I
was
also
impressed
with
the
care
and
attention
to
detail
I
saw
being
paid
to
the
matter
of
cleaning
the
tables
in
preparation
for
new
guests.
I've
never
seen
anything
like
it
in
my
life.
Bravo!
