To understand the level of fussy attention at Tamarina, the new Miami restaurant at the foot of 600 Brickell Ave., all you need to do is look in the mirror.
Beyond the polished Tennessee granite bar framed by brass-finish lamps and dark-wood panels, behind the nattily dressed bartender fastidiously preparing Negronis, a set of large mirrors stands in the shape of three arched windows. A holdover from Lippi, the restaurant that used to occupy this space and was already noted for its breathtaking interior, the mirrors have been stained to evoke an antique elegance many years beyond the four months Tamarina has been open. They give the best view of a dining room put together by an interior architect who’s clearly never heard the word “no” from a client.
