Pinch Me…. You’re not dreaming! Coral Gables

We decided on a new place tonight…Gastrobar “pinch me”. Basically, quiet, great atmosphere, super attentive (but not at all annoying) service, great food and no tummy ache! Its located in a very quiet area of Coral Gables off Palermo.

Happy hour 4-7, unfortunately we had reservations at 8, but happy hour menu looked respectable! There is a beautiful patio area with outdoor lighting and citronella candles… But this is Miami… So, we opted for the mosquito free inside seating area.

We started with Sangria- me red, date white… Both yummy!

someone is checking out the sangria goodness!

Next we got the provoleta… Ok… All I can say is YUM.

Admittedly, there was a sudden look of panic when I said “I can’t eat gluten… Really”. But this was followed by detailed knowledge of the menu and suggestions on what I could eat. Of course, I had already checked out the menu and knew what I wanted… Either a delicious sounding beet salad or the “española” plate of cheese, meats (generously donated to my date), olives, figs, almonds and more! My date had pasta with pear and ricotta cheese… It looked wonderful… And I chose the española! Delicious.

For dessert, I had an espresso…mans my date had the crepes with dulce de Leche, which were exquisite.
