For those who are jaded by Pan-fusion, Pan-everything cuisine these days, Barton G. The Restaurant is the culinary ticket to creative and delectable salvation. Located on a residential block on the west side of South Beach, Barton G., named after its owner who happens to be one of Miami's best known, most over the top event planners, is a place that looks like a trendy restaurant but eats like a show. Here, presentation is paramount. Take, for instance, the popcorn shrimp appetizer. This is not your average Red Lobster popcorn shrimp. Served on a plate full of, yes, popcorn, with field greens and the plump shrimp stuffed into an actual popcorn box, this dish is one of many awe-inspiring -- and tasting -- items you'll find in this, the most unique restaurant in Miami. A grilled sea bass that is light and flavorful is served in a brown paper bag with laundry clips keeping the steam in until your server unclips them and releases the flavor within. Desserts are equally outrageous, including three actual pints of homemade ice cream on a plate with all the toppings on the side, a giant plume of cotton candy reminiscent of drag diva Dame Edna's hair surrounded by three white-, dark-, and milk chocolate-covered popcorn balls, which, when cracked, reveal a sinful chocolate truffle inside. There's nothing ordinary about this seemingly ordinary restaurant. An elegant, well-lit indoor dining room is popular with the members of the socialite set, for whom Barton G. has done many an affair, while the bar area and outdoor courtyard is the place to be for the younger trendoids who appreciate what's on their plates as much as they do who's sitting next to them.
