La Piaggia |
A beach club in the Saint Tropez vein, La Piaggia is a stunning place to sit
back and catch a glimpse of beautifully tanned bodies parading in the sun.
Located across from Murano Condominiums and attracting Miami Beach's jet
set crowd, this beach haven is a most sought-after destination to enjoy an afternoon bite of French-Italian
cuisine or a weekend of unwinding with a tropical drink in hand.
Relax near the water's edge as you take in the bold colors and
saltwater swimming pool. And with a moniker like "the South of France at South of Fifth," this high-end venue is the perfect place to kick
your evening off with a touch of class.

Review:
The first time
here I was invited by friends from South Beach. The owner came
and greeted me and we had a chance to speak in French as I do
live also in Vieux-Montreal. I decided to go back a couple more
times also good and great people watching, like being in Saint
Tropez. This time I brought two people from South Beach, one is
the Concierge from the Continuum. They enjoyed their meal and
the tuna that I had was excellent. Being from Vieux-Montreal we
know good food. The Owner Robert and his staff are wonderful and
quelle joie de vivre. I recommend this place on Sundays
afternoon, and make a reservation.

Review:
May 18.08 I
decided to give this place a try, after hearing that it was a
nice place to spend the afternoon and have some decent French
fare. Instead, my party of four guest and my daughter were
seated next to a very loud speaker blaring 80's music and the
owner and manager who are clearly stuck in a time warp, ignoring
the patrons... Our waitress, distressed that our party wanted to
drink, and and not order a $1,000 food bill complained to the
manager that we had not ordered enough food. In order to not
cause a scene, we gave in to our waitress' whim and ordered
enough.
After waiting an extra half
hour, our $17.00 chuck beef burger was nothing to write home
ABOUT nor were the crab cakes...
To make matters worse, the
table we were sitting at broke. My guest was able to savage his
French onion soup only to have the manager and owner giggle that
the night before another table broke and everyone was laughing.
We hardly saw the gist in his humor. Not even an apology from
the owner... I have never been to a place where the owner thinks
his patrons should be privileged to be in his presence. Given
the current economic condition in South Florida, I think the
owner should reevaluate how he treats his paying customers. This
is one that vows NEVER TO RETURN.
