Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Sweetwater

"The newly-opened seafood locale is created by famed restaurateurs and couple Janine Booth and Jeff McInnis, located in the gorgeous Sunset Harbour neighborhood, just steps away from the water. The quaint, beachy restaurant pays homage to the famous Stiltsville homes out at sea in Key Biscayne. Walking into the breezy, relaxed destination transports you to the island life of Key West, and offers a creative selection of fresh seafood dishes utilizing locally-sourced ingredients."

"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"

"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."

"Restaurants Seafood Downtown. Area 31’s 16th-floor lounge may not technically be on the roof, but its view of Downtown is hard to beat. A photo op here is one you'll be tempted to caption with “I live where you vacation,” but don't be that guy."

"Perched 16 floors high inside the EPIC Hotel in Downtown Miami, this longtime restaurant still has some of the best views of Miami's Downtown skyline in the city. Whether going for its popular happy hour or for a seafood feast, grab a seat on its outdoor patio and soak up the views."

"We recommend Rusty Pelican for dinner, located just a few miles north of Bill Baggs State Park. With views of Brickell and the ocean, the Rusty Pelican is one of the most beautiful restaurants in Miami."

"This Miami staple still boasts one of the best views of the city. Head to Key Biscayne for a quiet lunch or watch the silhouette of the cityscape grow at sunset."

"Chef Danny Serfer’s Italian pop-up celebrates the comforts of Italian cooking with to-go items like Mussels Red (pan-roasted in a spicy red sauce), saffron arancini with fig jam, spaghetti meatballs, veal marsala, and eggplant Parmigiana. End the feast with lemon ricotta cheesecake. Available for takeout or delivery."

"As one of Miami’s finest and longest-running Mediterranean seafood restaurants, Milos is never a bad idea. With locations around the world (Athens, Montreal, London), we’re partial to our hometown outpost for a few reasons: It’s basically located on the beach, the dining room is equal parts traditional and modern, and the food is always top-notch. Pick your favorite fish and have it fried, grilled or served as a tartare, paired with a classic Greek salad and a side of fried potatoes."

"Oh, Wynwood, with your deconstructed, gluten-free, four-course, impossible-to-pronounce menu items. Your ambition might have earned a few James Beard Awards, but the truly hungry should venture beyond the murals and cross NW 29th Street, where the venerable Nadine Patrice will place a menu in front of you and help you select from an array of the top Jamaican and Caribbean dishes in town. Start with some fresh juice before moving on to the main event."

"🦀 Get crackin’ 🦀 The Wharf Miami will be open for lunch, HAPPY🍻HOUR & dinner today!. #Eaaaaats by Garcia’s Seafood Mojo... Garcia’s is a family owned and operated business, with roots dating back to 1966, when it was first a seafood market that eventually added a restaurant, serving only the freshest fish and seafood."

"This classic Miami spot that overlooks the Miami River has been serving up freshly caught — right off the boat in some cases — seafood for more than 50 years, and offers covered seating on both the first or second floor patios."

"Casablanca Seafood Bar & Grill is an upscale eatery and fish market with waterfront views located at 400 NW N River Dr that serves freshly caught seafood along with cocktails, beer, and more.

"This iconic restaurant has been around for more than 20 years and is right next to the seafood market, meaning you’ll be served only the freshest food. Casablanca sits on the waterfront of the Miami River and offers its guests a wonderful view of downtown Miami. You may have a short wait for a table, and they don’t take reservations, but definitely plan on stopping by, it’s worth it!"

"Perched over the Miami River, Casablanca serves some of the best seafood in town. The setting is a big draw – with tables on a long wooden deck just above the water, and the odd seagull winging past."

"Ring local staple Joe’s Stone Crab for a takeout lunch just down the street; Miami natives know the side dishes are the best things on the menu. Order a few claws, but focus on hashed brown potatoes, famous coleslaw, sweet potato fries, creamed spinach and a slice of Key lime pie if you have room. Dine outside at your picnic tables and enjoy the view."

"The Boiling Crab was started in 2004 with the dream to serve the best tail in the city of Miami. It is located at 5829 SW 73rd St, South Miami that is known for bold flavors, fresh seafood, and plenty of fun. The menu features seafood dishes like Dungeness Crab, Fried Shrimp Basket, Shabang Bang Shrimp, Fried Calamari, Naked Crawfish, and more."

"Or you can experience the pulse of a multi-dimensional metropolis, exploring 1930s to 1950s Art Deco glamour in South Beach and Mid-Beach, big city sophistication in Downtown, avant-garde art installations in Wynwood, shopping in the Design District, and a melting pot of Latin heritage in Little Havana. Given short driving distances between these eclectic neighborhoods, it’s possible to explore Miami’s multiple identities in a weekend without feeling rushed."

"After seeing your fill of water views and tropical plants, make your way to Calle Ocho, in the heart of Little Havana. Stop by Versailles, a favorite Cuban restaurant, for a syrupy Cuban coffee, a guava-filled pastelito, or, if you’re already hungry, a meaty Cuban sandwich. Wander around Calle Ocho for some interesting street art, watch locals play dominos in Maximo Gomez Park, and pick up a hand-rolled cigar as a souvenir."

"Put some miles on your car; Little Havana calls. Calle Ocho (Eighth Street) is another world, and you’ll know it immediately by the language of the street signs. Salsa music pours out from storefronts onto the streets. The scent of fresh guava pastries is never far."

"Located on always-bustling Calle Ocho in historic Little Havana, this longtime red-and-white donut shop is known for its light and fluffy glazed donuts, along with fancy and filled donuts in a variety of flavors. For a taste of Miami, indulge in the guava, très léchés or flan flavors; or revert to your childhood with whimsical donuts smothered in M&Ms or Fruity Pebbles, while kicking back with a coffee. Go ahead and splurge, we won’t tell anyone."

"If you can judge a doughnut by the number of people waiting in line to eat it, consider these rounds the best in town. Tucked inside a charming Wynwood storefront, the Salty Donut whips up treats in flavors like guava-cheese, maple bacon and Nutella-stuffed. But the real winner here is the tres leches doughnut, made with white chocolate and lots of cream and then torched to perfection."

"The fast-selling, handmade brioche donuts are buttery and fluffy outside, soft and moist inside. They make regular flavours like traditional glazed, hazelnut chocolate and white chocolate tres leches all year round. Grab some maple bacon donuts if you are there, hands up!"

"The Salty Donut, located in the heart of Wynwood, Miami, is famous for their mouthwatering and beautifully-made donuts. Catch them in the mornings because they tend to sell out quite quickly."

"There's always a full house at this bustling American gastropub. Equal parts sports bar, lounge, and restaurant, Batch is the place to gather for soccer games, NBA tilts, boxing matches, and gridiron showdowns. The restaurant is also lively after work, when Brickell businesspeople and residents alike pour in for locally sourced pub grub, from lamb burgers to truffle fries, that pairs perfectly with a lengthy drink list offering a wide range of beers, wines, and other creative cocktails."

"Restaurants Gastropubs Brickell. The Brickell gastropub with reopens just in time for football season. With seemingly more TVs than chairs, Batch is a favorite of sports fans looking for a good view of the game and a solid meal to enjoy while they watch."

"Batch is a neighborhood pub serving an extensive selection of cocktails, whiskey, beer and wine. There is no dearth of options here!. TVs on all the walls allow you to catch the game."
