B.E.D.

B.E.D.

Nine girls in bed together?... Hmmmmm... This B.E.D happens to be the Beverage Entertainment and Dining establishment on Washington Street.

It’s a restaurant and bar until about 11pm, and then it’s a lounge and club until 5am.

Here’s the deal: there are neither chairs nor any tables, but there are plenty of beds. Luxurious pillows, thick eight-square-feet mattresses surrounded by sheer billowing curtains.

You have to have dinner or bottle order to get a bed, and believe me, neither is cheap, but for a one-of-a-kind experience, a place to pop the question, or somewhere to rub shoulders with the hip-hop royalty, this place is well worth every dollar.

We were a party of nine girls, and the crowd was mainly black, super-stylish and dressed to the nines. The crowd changes depending on the music; sometimes it’s mainly Latinos, and other times the club crowd.

If your group is smaller, you might have to share a bed for your dinner, but being a large group, we got our bed to ourselves. You slip on those shoes and climb on. Food and drink is brought out on candlelit trays.

The food is delicious but expensive. Beware of the one entrée rule, which is that every person must order either one entrée or two starters; this is to prevent tourists going and sharing food. That can take quite a chunk out of your wallet, as the cost is about $35-$42 per entrée and $18-$22 for a starter. This restaurant can get away with doing this because it is still the place to see and be seen.

I had the Ahi tuna, and it was done really well, but I've had better for less than the $36 I paid.

I tried a caipirinha drink, which I loved, but my friend said it hadn't been made very well, and being Brazilian, she should know! Also, a wine someone else ordered came out flat. You are certainly paying for the ambience more than the cuisine.

It was obvious that we weren't high-rollers like the majority of the clientele here, but we were treated really well. Our waiter was adorable, though there were no freebies, even though the end bill was over $700!

We did get to keep the bed/table a while after dinner, which is unusual, as they tend to throw you off as soon as you're done to make way for the VIP bottle crew.

Well, at this point, there were nine girls all dancing on the bed, so maybe that’s why??

Look RIGHT HERE for other info.

B.E.D.

Deciding to splurge only once or twice on our trip, Tina & I picked B.E.D. (Beverage-Entertainment-Dining) as our first indulgent evening.

You may want to dress to impress for this sexy, luxuriant restaurant/bar to get past the velvet rope (without a reservation) and to get yourself some notice. Some female clients fiercely compete to expose the most in a tight “dress.” Only the most rico-suave men get their attention.

Though we weren’t looking to score, or even to impress, we had fun watching the other people, hearing vibey music, and enjoying French cuisine while sitting/lying atop a comfy, pillow-surrounded, plush, queen-size bed (sorry, no blankets). Yes, I said a bed, literally, which makes you feel like you’re doing something very taboo, something your Mother wouldn’t approve of while you're eating dinner. People can reserve one of the nine huge white beds for dining or hang out by the bar. The latter looked quite envious of those with bed-rights.

Quick food facts: It’s actually pretty good, but extremely overpriced. I had an interesting goat cheese croquette salad, where a quarter of a large zucchini was stuffed with goat cheese and then deep-fried. Tina had the crab salad. We both ordered the flavorful filet mignon (Tina's was overcooked as she ordered rare, and got a replacement a while later) and shared a Rio – a caramel dessert with plantain chips. Appetizers/dessert cost $12-15, the filet mignon $36, glass of cab $8. Like most Miamian restaurants, service/tip was included – 18%. Service was so-so and wouldn’t be complete without a little attitude, right?
