Grace Della is our tour operator. She is originally from Argentina, who then moved to San Francisco and then Miami. She is very knowledgeable of the South Beach area. I would definately take another tour with her. She is very personable and loves to share her knowledge.
This was our first stop at D. Rodriguous Cuba where we experienced plantain chips with a cuba salsa, along with empenada's with crab and a slow cooked beef brisket. Yummy. It was very good.
Here is a good example of what Art Deco is. It follows the rule of three's. That is if you split the building in half - they would be the same, and you would also see "eyebrow's" ove the windows.

The chef explains his dish.
I promised myself that I would try everything, even if it meant eating fish. Well this restaurant served a fish marinated in hers with a rice dish with edame and vegetables along with a large shrimp in a tomatoe base marinade. It was awesome!
Grace did a draw for a special bottle of Olive Oil with a value of $50.00. A lady from Winnipeg was the lucky winner.
At this hotel we enjoyed slow cooked beef burgers with chips. They were amazing.

The ceiling in this room is only about 6.5 feet and is mirrored by a vinyl sheeting. it was amazing as you didn't know - it created such an illusion. This was soooo cool. This restaurant is famour for their steaks/burgers. 
Jerry's Famous Diner was our first stop for dessert. This building is a true example of interior art deco with lots of glass tiles and designs.
Enjoying Chilean coffee at a local "hole in the wall". This coffee is very strong and served in a very small cup with lots of sugar. The taste is very smooth. The cost to buy a pound of this coffee is about $3.00. Well worth another visit.
The Clay Hotel is where Al Capone used to spend his time with his gang....

Our last stop on the tour was to taste Gelato icecream hand made on the premises. We were given two small cones each sampling different flavours. A refreshing ending to a wonderful tour.
