The 5 most wonderful waterfront restaurants in Miami

There’s nothing like snacking on smoked fish dip and peel-n-eat shrimp after a long day of boating, fishing or other water sports. This marina restaurant welcomes all come-as-you-are customers, and it’ll also cook your catch as long as you’ve cleaned it, and give you two sides to boot for 12,99 dollars per person.

Don your most expensive labels to dine at this lovely Greek restaurant on the Intracoastal. Then order grilled calamari stuffed with feta cheese or jumbo shrimp infused with lemon and oregano. Just be careful to not squirt it on the neighbor’s 50.000-dollar Birkin.

If you want to put your toes in the sand, you can. That’s because this restaurant is located on a literal beach. Go for bottomless brunch. Go for aperitivos and happy hour, made all the better for watching the waves. Go for dinner and dance the night away. Just make reservations – and don’t wear stilettos.

This white-tablecloth Italian restaurant, a mainstay in Miami, has impeccable fare, with fish flown in daily and pastas cooked tableside. The view is equally as memorable, given that it’s located in a high-rise overlooking Biscayne Bay. Sit on the patio and watch the boats speed toward the horizon while you dine.

Seaspice has been a celebrity hangout since it launched, with the requisite photos on its website to prove it. But what’s not as well-known is just how gorgeous it is to sit outside on the banks of the Miami River – even during the summer months – and watch the yachts dock while you sup on bouillabaisse and grilled whole branzino.
