The family owned Argentinian Steakhouse, which opened its first location over 20 years ago and is considered a neighborhood gem in the Gables, is now open for business in the Downtown Brickell area!

The new restaurant, located at 177 SW 7 St (Lattitude Condo Building), offers its notable wine list and menu favorites. What I liked the most was the bakery off to the side and with a separate entrance, where I was able to get meat, chicken and spinach empanadas for a party as well as delicious dulce de leche desserts called alfajores.

Graziano’s Brickell hits the scene with a new “Green” philosophy and pledge to use ocean friendly seafood, organic chicken breasts, 100% natural pork, grass fed animals and no Trans Fat oils. 

The new Brickell location is also hosting a free wine tasting every Thursday from 6:00 p.m.to 10:00 p.m. Enjoy! For more information call 305-460-1426.

In the latest edition of the Mandarin Oriental Times yesterday, the hotel announced it’s latest special offers to go with the times. Click on the picture for a better view.

Recently Pat Nieto and Stella Dormoy both Realtors in the EWM Pinecrest office and both residents of Cutler Cay brought a few phenomenal buys to my attention.   Cutler Cay is a gated community of luxury homes located just east of Old Cutler Road and just south of SW 184 Street with state-of-the-art Clubhouse (artists rendering below), gym, pool, tennis, lakes and 24 hour security.   Most homes in the neighborhood offer granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, brick paver driveway’s, high ceilings and more.

I was amazed to learn of a 5 bedroom 4 bath built in 2006 with 3721 square feet of living area that is being offered for a fraction of it’s original sales price of $700,000 which closed in January of 2007!

cutler-cay-club-house.jpg

This listing and others in the Cutler Cay development represent true luxury at bargain prices.  Several of the homes for sale in the Cutler Cay community are priced well enough that with as little as a 25% down payment the rental income will cover the holding costs, which is rarity for South Florida.  For more information contact Stella or Pat at 305-960-2600 both Cutler Cay residents and experts.
