Fodor's Expert Review Tamara's Café

Mixing Florida flavors with South American flair, this colorful bistro in a 1920s-era building serves a menu of reliable, Latin-accented Florida cuisine, especially seafood. The charming setting comes complete with a stamped-tin ceiling and original brick walls. For starters try the creamy black-bean soup or the pleasantly spicy oyster stew; for dinner choose from seafood paella, prosciutto-wrapped salmon with mango-cilantro sauce, or margarita chicken and scallops with a tequila-lime glaze. All entrées come with black beans and rice, fresh vegetables, and fresh-baked focaccia bread, but if you still have room for dessert, try the fried-banana split or the tres leches (cake soaked in three types of milk), a South American favorite.
