Lemon Twist
908 71st St
(On 79th St. Causeway, Miami Beach/Normandy Isle)
tel.: 305/868-2075
Location: On 79th St. Causeway, Miami Beach/Normandy Isle
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Price Category: Moderate

In addition to great Mediterranean fare, there is a twist to this place in the form of a complimentary shot of the eponymous house spirit (a lemon vodka shot). But that comes after your meal. To start, you will receive a bowl of perfectly marinated olives, which can endanger your appetite, so go easy on them. A soothing, mellow interior makes for a romantic dining experience, or, if you prefer, outdoor tables are available (though the street is hardly as scenic). In between, expect friendly service and excellent meat and pasta dishes at terrific prices. Specialties such as spinach lasagna with smoked salmon and shank of lamb caramelized with whole garlic are savored by a savvy crowd that has likely escaped South Beach for this refreshing change of scenery.

Main courses $9-$18.Open: Tues-Sun 5:30pm-midnight.Closed July 4 weekend.Reservations recommended on weekends.Credit Cards: AE, MC, V ($25 minimum).
