This week’s column is titled Romance in the New Adult Fiction section.īestselling author Bolu Bablola brings to us his first novel titled “Honey and Spice”. This is definitely a MUST visit for Miami.This column was presented to the Warren County-Vicksburg Public Library by local history librarian Evangeline Cessna. The cuisine was fresh and tasty, the decor is like a vortex where you will seriously not want to leave the place and the service was sweet and impeccable. I do not like yogurt, but really enjoyed this dish.

We can never get enough capers to complement a sultry Branzino.įor dessert we loved both the Baklava (not available on the $25 prix-fixe, but so worth paying extra for) and the Greek yogurt with fantastic special imported Greek Honey. The Grilled whole Mediterranean sea bass with fine herbs, lemon and olive oil was perfectly cooked and insanely fresh. The special feta was remarkable and the tomatoes so plump and juicy. The Classic Greek salad made with tomatoes and topped with a plank of creamy feta was fresh and superb. The warm pita was on point and we can never get enough sauces and spreads. Homemade pitas made daily accompany the platter. The journey at Kiki begins with an array o f delightful Pikilia (Greek spreads) that include tzatziki, homemade hummus and a roasted baby eggplant spread. We came in for their generous $25 prix-fixe set menu of three courses and were hugaefans of everything! For this restaurant, Roman Jones wants to honor the life of the Miami River, with that sense of meticulously-scuffed elegance that only a windswept island can provide. Serving lunch and dinner daily, and a ridiculously festive Sunday weekend brunch, Kiki offers a selection of time-honored Greek favorites and innovative dishes, all made from scratch in-house. Plates stay true to their ingredients, allowing flavors to shine without heavy sauces and creams. Everything is made in-house and many of the fresh ingredients come directly from Greece, including the spices, herbs and olive oil. The kitchen at Kiki is helmed by Executive Chef Steve Rhee, an industry veteran who opened Estiatorio Milos in Miami Beach in addition to three years serving as sous chef at Estiatorio Milos in Las Vegas. Rhee’s creative, yet approachable, dishes reflect the bounty of seafood that comes from the Mediterranean as well as an array of meats prepared simply on the grill. You will not want to depart from this supple setting. A royal blue wall is outfitted with toffee-leather banquette seating while the lounge or “living room” features rich leather chesterfield sofas, a bookcase lined with leather-bound tomes, vintage lounge chairs, seashell chandeliers and Ikat patterned stools for a cozy cocktail spot.

The interior dining room features ceiling to floor windows and luxurious drapes wrapped around steel and concrete original beams and columns that frame a glass-enclosed olive tree. Walking into the restaurant elevates you.

Kiki is lush, exotic, tropical and refined. This is a serene setting where the Mediterranean meets Miami and its River. The gorgeous design was envisioned and executed by Mark Lehmkuhl’s Ghosthouse Creative Group in collaboration with Jay Wall of Thirlwall Design. The aquatic setting and exquisite decor profoundly enchants your dining experience. We swooped in for a late lunch and were tremendously impressed. Romantic and contemporary, the riverside restaurant embraces the hospitality and spirit of the Greek islands with the service and style of a romantic island garden restaurant & lounge. Heralding a new dining experience on the Miami River, Kiki on the River, is Miami’s newest indoor/outdoor new dining destination. Kiki on the River – Aquatic Romantic Dining
