It’s the first day of summer! Here are special seasonal menus at South Florida restaurants
Summertime in SoFlo. Yeah, we know, big difference from the rest of the year.
Not.
Oh, sure, the summer solstice brings mercury-busting heat and afternoon thunderstorms … as opposed to oppressive humidity and random rainstorms the rest of the year. But it also brings special summer menus from restaurants throughout the region.
Here are some of our favorites. (Please note: Prices do not include taxes and gratuities.)
