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. For years, the Epic Hotel’s rooftop bar and restaurant was a magnet for business types grabbing a drink after work in the area.

And that is the interesting thing about Mignonette: It is both fancy and unpretentious, so everyone fits in."

"When a family of exiled Cuban fishermen open a fish market, you can count of super-fresh fish and seafood. La Camaronera changed its name a few times and quickly grew to serve fish to the neighbors, who would come to munch on fried breaded snapper, drink soda, and discuss politics or sports. Fifty years later, La Camaronera is now a full-sized restaurant, simple and unpretentious, with a small menu of amazing dishes and the best fish sandwiches in town."

"A cartoonish neon sign and brash colors lead you into this Little Havana seafood restaurant where most people are here for the OG Minuta, a snapper sandwich that’s a whole fish on a lightly toasted Cuban roll. Shrimp empanadas, conch fritters, shrimp tacos—they all come out fresh and tasty and if you’re feeling hungry or want to share, the kitchen will send out whole fried fish or a stone crab or a breaded lobster. You can’t go wrong here."

"For another variation on the Cuban sandwich theme, pay a visit to La Camaronera. The Garcia family opened a fish market in Miami in the 1960s; about 10 years later they added fryers to cook and serve some of their catch on site. You could only eat standing at a counter, but a few months ago they finally installed chairs and tables."
