We enjoyed the Cuba Libre (Rum and Coke) at happy hour prices. Bother entrees were served with beans, rice and plantains.  For entrees we enjoyed the Lechon Asado (Roast Pork) and the Pollo a la Juliana. Both entrees were excellent and very fresh tasting. The Pollo a la Juliana consisted of boneless chicken breast Cut Into Julianne strips, marinated, then grilled with green and red bell peppers and onions. The  roast pork was slow cooked, marinated in the restaurant’s special mojo sauce, pulled and lightly grilled with sauteed Onions. Each of our entrees was $10.95.
For desert we shared the flan and enjoyed cuban coffee. The flan was exceptionally good, not to dense.
Don Ramon Cuban Cuisine offers excellent dining with large portions and  great service on Clematis Street at a reasonable price.

For lunch we had the Homewrecker Burrito with steak, pinto beans, rice, cheese, pico de gallo, lettuce, cilantro, sour cream and guacamole; and the John Coctostan quesadilla with chicken, pinto beans and cheese.  Chips and salsa were given free of charge. Both dishes were excellent and not too spicy. At the condiment bar, you have a choice of various types of salsa from mild to hot.

On July3, 2010, we enjoyed the thin crust pizza with arugula. Although there was less cheese on the pizza than in many other establishments, the sauce was very tasty. The arugula was good, but it is better eaten in a salad as the tomato sauce hides the unique flavor of arugula.

We started with a Caesar salad and garlic bread. One salad is more than enough for two people. The garlic bread is different, three pieces of flat bread (pizza without the sauce and cheese)  with garlic and oil.

This is a small restaurant where all ages dine.  There were TV’s with a baseball game. The volume was turned off.

McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant

http://www.mccormickandschmicks.com

Bill McCormick and Doug Schmick founded the company in Portland, Oregan more than 30 years ago. McCormick & Schmick’s is an upscale or upscale casual dining experience with moderate pricing. They also have a separate bar area in front. All major credit cards are accepted and they offer complimentary valet parking. The dress code can either be business attire as people come there from work or casual to dress casual. Reservations are encouraged either by phone or online. Their expertise is fresh seafood so the menu is comprised of what is in season and available fresh that day. Nothing is frozen. In addition to seafood, McCormick & Schmick’s serves delicious steak dishes, chicken, pasta and entrée salads.

My husband and I dined at the Boca Raton McCormick & Schmick’s location recently on a Friday night. We had reservations for 7:00pm so at that time it was not crowded yet. It was almost completely full within an hour. We both ordered the seafood special that included salmon, Chilean sea bass, crab cake, asparagus, and rice. Our dinner even included a crème brule. The meal was hot and very tasty. I would highly recommend it to others. Our service was friendly, prompt, and efficient. Our waiter did not rush us through the meal and let us relax at our table. I look forward to going back to McCormicks & Schmick’s soon and will try their other dishes as well.
