"Out on a dock beneath the shade of beach-blue umbrellas and right next door to the Swimming Hall of Fame and the city marina, you can enjoy a continuous parade of the most impressive yachts you’ve ever seen while digging in to some tasty eat-with-your-hands seafood. The menu offers a delicious fresh take on traditional beach-vacation nibbles, including conch fritters, coconut shrimp, and crab cakes, but they also have a daily special called “scoobies,” a bowl of luscious snow crab legs soaking in roasted garlic butter. This is a great place to order some drinks while watching the sunset."

"Restaurants Seafood Downtown. For years, the Epic Hotel’s rooftop bar and restaurant was a magnet for business types grabbing a drink after work in the area. But even without its beat-the-clock happy hour, Area 31 is still luring the locals with its unparalleled views of Downtown and well-priced bites and sips."

"Area 31 is on the 16th floor of the Epic Hotel, which means it boasts spectacular views across Biscayne Bay, Miami River, and the city skyline. The restaurant takes its name from Fishing Area 31, which is from where most of the ingredients are sourced. This area is an ecologically sustainable fishery."
