I will note it can be on the pricey side for dinner but I've heard their brunch is a hit! Our family of 9 have a pleasant evening with good service! Our waiters recommendations were appreciated as well as her honesty for portions. Notable bites: Crab cake Sushi Rosemary fries Coffee Lava cake!!! We couldn't give this an overall 5 star for simple measures including hot items presenting cold when brought to the table and price point but overall we were satisfied! We look forward to trying what their brunch has to offer!

Review of The Rusty Pelican -- Key Biscayne, Florida Aug . 15, 2926…read more I would give The Rusty Pelican in Key Biscayne a C - based on our recent experience. I ordered my steak rare, but it arrived closer to medium and had to be sent back. Unfortunately, it took approximately 30 minutes for the replacement to arrive. The second steak was better, but the delay was disappointing. The private room where our group of 18 was seated was another concern. The room was too warm (the management knew it kept say it will get cooler after 3 hour it did not happen ) and too small for our group, with two round tables that made conversation difficult. The overall atmosphere was not particularly comfortable for a group of that size. The service was also only fair. While the servers were courteous, the overall level of service did not meet the expectations I would have for a restaurant of this type. Considering the food preparation issues, the long wait for the replacement steak, the uncomfortable room, and the mediocre service, I would not recommend The Rusty Pelican for a group event or special occasion.

I really enjoyed my visit to Joe's and there's a reason why it is so popular and has been around…read moreforever! Walking in you get that old school feel with the staff dressed to the tee and very friendly. They had a special pre fixe menu that was fairly priced which allowed me to try a lot of the menu instead of having to order a la carte. Our server was professional and terse but in a way that I didn't mind and he even scolded some other busboys for taking too long to clear our table which I found funny but appreciated too. I started with the Stuffies which were amazing! The baked clams were dressed up nicely and these were very tasty. The stone crabs were delicious and I loved the dipping sauce it came with. Granted we visited outside of stone crab season and so I'd love to come back when the crabs are more fresh and in season. It also came with sides of hash browns, creamed spinach, and a grilled tomato. While I appreciate the quantity and variety they gave, these sides were a miss for me. The pre fixe concluded with my choice of the Key Lime Pie which was a nice ending for the meal. Nicely balanced between tart and sweetness. My only note would be for the crust layer to be bigger since it would help balance out the pie portion a bit better. We also got the fried chicken which is a steal for only $9. Excellent and crispy skin and very moist! The only dry piece was the breast unfortunately, but otherwise it's hard to find a better fried chicken at this price.

Theres just no point to get anything else. The tostones with shrimps were delicious and the fish strips were outstanding. Everything was very fresh and you could taste it too. For my main I had fried grouper. My party ordered a whole red snapper and a red snapper filet. It was excellent. The only complaint is that dependent on the fish it could taste a little dry. They have great cilantro garlic sauce and good drinks! The service is okay, its not crazy good but not terrible. For the price I understand why people would expect something more in that area. It was $289 for 4 people so I would say its a bit overpriced. The ambiance is great. Very chill crowd and everyone seems to be here for the same thing, good seafood and a great view!

We've been coming to Boater's Grill by boat for two decades now. Let's be honest: the food was…read morenever award-winning, but the appeal was always the same; there are precious few restaurants in Miami you can actually pull up to by boat, and the waterfront setting is genuinely beautiful. That location has carried this place for years. Lately, though, that goodwill is running out. On our last several visits, we've experienced consistently rude and inattentive service, along with food that's mediocre at best; and priced as if it were fine dining. This isn't a one-off bad night. Multiple boater friends who dock here regularly have told us the exact same thing, unprompted, which tells us this isn't an isolated incident but a pattern. Whether this is due to a change in management, staff turnover, or simply a sense that the location alone will keep customers coming regardless of quality, something has clearly shifted. And that's the frustrating part: because Boater's Grill has so little competition for boat-accessible dining in Miami, it can coast on location alone while service and food quality slide; with little market pressure to improve. We're writing this not to pile on, but because we actually want to keep coming back. We'd genuinely like to see management take a hard look at staff training, portion/pricing value, and basic hospitality. A restaurant with this kind of setting has the potential to be a real destination; right now, it's coasting on scenery alone, and that's a shame. If ownership or management is reading this: your regulars are noticing, and we'd rather see this fixed than watch a great location go to waste on a mediocre experience.

I can't wait to go back and try more things!

When we walked in we were greeted by Sarah. And my friend who made the reservations thought she made it for this Monday and it was actually for last Monday. But Sarah said no problem will accommodate you come right in. Our waiter was Chris. I can't say enough about him. He professionalism, his attention and his friendliness. We ordered our drinks and appetizers. (See pics) Everyone of the appetizers were well presented, the taste was delicious and the portions were enough for two. I ordered the lettuce wedge with a crab cake. My friend ordered the ravioli. The ambiance is perfect for date night.

The lemon and the sauce sizzle on top was absolutely delicious. The shrimp cocktail was filling too. It was huge. The best part was the dessert! The butter cake and the chocolate cake were exquisite! It made the night even better. The cherry on top was when the manager, Nick, came by to say hi. He's super attentive and it was a pleasure to chat with him. His team is so friendly and happy, I can only assume it's his leadership that nurtures this environment. Special thanks to Becca and Jesus to being friendly and happy. You guys made a difference. :)

I stopped by La Camaronera Seafood Joint & Fish Market and had a really good experience overall…read more The seafood was fresh and flavorful, and everything tasted like it was made to order. The fried items were especially good--crispy on the outside and tender inside, without feeling greasy. The service was quick and straightforward.

The place has a casual, no-frills market-style vibe, which actually fits the concept well. It's more about the food than anything fancy, and the quality definitely stands out. Overall, a solid spot in Miami for fresh seafood done right. I'd happily come back to try more of the menu.

My friend and I waited near the hostess stand for a bit and felt overlooked as everyone was understandably focused on the situation. A simple "hello, welcome, we'll be right with you" would have gone a long way. Having worked in hospitality for many years, I know things happen behind the scenes, but guest communication is so important. After a short wait, the manager stepped in, apologized, and got us seated, which I really appreciated. From that point on, the service was excellent. Everyone was attentive and helpful, and I especially want to shout out the food runner, who was personable and made a great impression. One thing that could have been handled better: our server took our drink order but never mentioned happy hour. When we later asked for the menu, we were told it was only available at the bar. Since I use a wheelchair for mobility, getting onto a bar stool would have been difficult, so I felt that a more accessible accommodation should have been offered. You'll see in my video I was the 4 top right next to the bar. That said, the food was good, and I still had a nice time with my friend. With just a little more attention to communication and accessibility, this could have been an even better experience.
