I would love to have eaten there however the owner closed at the last minute. We made reservations online, through the app on the restaurant’s website. I got the confirmation to be argued with about semantics. Then she recommended another black owned restaurant around the corner that was also closed.
I’m okay with them being closed, I am okay with showing up and being told they were closed, what I am not okay with is being argued with about your mistake while hungry attempting to support a black-owned business. We have to do better.
Our stay in Miami wasn’t all a bust. We did enjoy Hurrem Hamman Wellness and Spa. It is a Turkish spa that offers saunas, a hot tub, rainforest shower, ice rooms, cold bath therapy, massage and facial. The best part was the unlimited supply of fresh fruit and the Turkish restaurant. I had the lamb chops and my husband got a grilled salmon cesear salad, the food was delicious. The service was amazing and the spa employees made us feel welcome. As the only black couple in the spa, we didn’t feel singled out.
Lunch at Dukanoo Jamaican Kitchen was stellar. I had the oxtails and my husband got the jerk burger. The only thing better than the food were the drinks. They were beautiful, tasty and had a heavy pour.
We stayed at the Hampton Inn Wynood. There was nothing special about the hotel, it was clean with the typical continental breakfast. No one who worked at the hotel did anything of note. The hotel employees were very use to tourists and being pleasant.
