Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Surfside

"This nautical spot by Top Chef vets Jeff McInnis and Janine Booth is one of our favorite outdoor dining spots in Miami—and for good reason. Catch us on the patio, indulging in the crispy whole yellowtail snapper, lemon-dusted fried chicken and chilled watermelon and pickles all while staring at the sunset. 1787 Purdy Ave., Miami Beach; 786-353-0477 or stiltsvillefishbar.com"

"Stiltsville Fish Bar is run by Jeff McInnis and Janine Booth, both of whom have appeared on Top Chef. McInnis has also been a James Beard nominee. They source their fish and seafood from fishermen in Miami and Key Largo, and the menu changes daily to reflect the catch of the day and the seasonal availability of other ingredients."

"Located on the top floor of the EPIC Hotel, trendy Area 31 has the reputation of the best view in town as well as exceptionally good food and cocktails. Sunset over the Biscayne Bay and the city skyline from the restaurant’s poolside terrace is absolutely breathtaking, but Executive Chef Wolfgang Birk manages to draw the attention of his guests with his frequently changing menu that is based on sustainable ingredients and focuses on local seafood with a Spanish twist. The menu is extensive but the chef’s fresh ceviche, crudos and tartares are legendary."

"Probably the last time you ate brunch at the Rusty Pelican it was for a daytime wedding reception, but this storied venue with a postcard view of the skyline has seriously upped its food game in the last two years, and is a must-visit if you haven’t been. Try the pork belly waffle sandwich with sundried tomato and maple mustard sauce. Or, if you’d like something sweeter, try the Frosted Flake-crusted french toast topped with caramel sauce and cinnamon whipped cream.How to order: Reservations available on OpenTable"

"I think S3 could also be called S5 for Sun, Surf, Sand, and Superb Sushi. In addition to their extensive list of specialty rolls and sashimi, they also have some Southern-inspired fare such as chicken and waffles. Their island-like lounge atmosphere just begs for lazy days relaxing by the fire pit, cocktail in hand, with the sound of the surf rocking an hypnotic melody in the background."

"Brunch starting at 10am Saturdays & SundaysHilton Hotel 505 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304. S3 is located at the Hilton Hotel on Fort Lauderdale Beach with oceanfront views. With a fancy Bottomless Bubbles Bar (which consists of Veuve Clicquot, a selection of Moët, and Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut) it’s a bit more upscale than some of the other relaxed brunches."

"This Speakeasy will take you back in time to the roaring ‘20s. The ambience is romantic, classy, intimate and musically inclined. The cocktails are all inspired by the prohibition era classics, and there are a dozen of these liquid delights."

"Long-time Floridian gallerist Mindy Solomon decamped her St Petersburg gallery to Miami in 2013. Since then, she has brought a roster of contemporary ceramic artists into the fold, often exhibited in dialog with two-dimensional paintings and drawings. Sculptures, however, are the true stars of this location: a visit to the backroom reveals large, misshapen ceramic creations by Australian artist Virginia Leonard; vibrant ‘furries’ by Linda Lopez; and embroidered landscapes by Sophia Narrett."
