We were in North Miami Beach for a few days. I can't believe how ridiculously cheap it is to eat out there, and have good food to boot. We went to this fun place called the Ale House for dinner. We had 5 Margaritas, plus my husband had a pint of beer, we shared conch fritters as an appetizer, then he had fish and chips and I had a 20 oz. porterhouse. Both were served with fries, mine came with broccoli and the fish came with hush puppies and cole slaw.

I'm not going to pretend that it was a gourmet meal or that the steak was the same quality I would get in Shula's or The Charthouse, but the food certainly was damn good and the bill, with tip and tax, was under $50 for BOTH of us.
