This is one of the best restaurants I've tried in the past few months. I walk by this place all the time so we decided to give it a try. We went on a weeknight at the end of the night and were the only ones in there. The restaurant is very cozy and cute. Everything was an absolute hit. We ordered the crab cakes, fish dip, scallop & pork belly, surf + turf burger and key lime pie. Every single thing was a 10/10. Service was nice and gave us excellent recommendations. I can't wait to go back and try more things! read more

I cannot remember the last time I was so excited to write a review. Stiltsville did not disappoint. I have seen this place advertised several times. 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. read more

This place is so cute! Loved that it was inside and outside. We were seated by Francisco right away to a table that overlooked the restaurant and the outside. We ordered the fish wings and they were delicious! The sauce is house made and it had an amazing flavor. We then ordered the surf and turf burger and the flavors just burst in your mouth like pure deliciousness! The presentation of the food was outstanding! Francisco was knowledgeable of the menu and made the recommendations. Glad we chose here! Thank you for the wonderful experience! :) read more

I have wanted to visit Stiltsville Fish Bar for a few years and Miami Spice 2025 was the perfect time. We went on a Wednesday evening and the restaurant was very quiet. From the Miami spice menu, I selected the conch fritters, the shrimp and grits, and the Keylime pie. Maria provided pleasant and efficient service. My friend ordered the grilled mango salad for her appetizer. It was presented beautifully and tasted divine and was big enough to share. My conch fritters were all conch and very little filler and were served with a spicy horseradish sauce which I could've eaten by the spoonful. The shrimp and grits included sausage, melted tomatoes, and a beer demi-glaze. These may be the best grits I've had. The presentation of the Keylime pie was nice, it was topped with whipped cream and toasted coconut. We locked out with a parking space right across from the restaurant and parking was discounted for the month of September. I recommend Stiltsville Fish Bar for anyone visiting Miami Beach. read more

We had a good experience last night at Stiltsville. We easily found PayByPhone parking across the street. The bar was a bit busy after the Miami boat show, so we just got wine, although the cocktails list sounded good. The interior is decorated somewhat industrial and modern. There are several beautiful fish scale chandeliers to complete the decor along with a full size tube with ice and fresh fish for one to chose from. We sat at a cozy petite table outside and had Kevin as our server. He was attentive and was very efficient. Thank you Kevin! We decided on the catch of the day: crispy hogfish with mashed potatoes. I ate every bit of it, it was soft inside but crispy on the outside, not overly fried. The 2 accompanying sauces were delicious. My husband had the hogfish sandwich and loved it as well. We will be back for sure. read more

Stiltsville Fish Bar - Coconut Key Lime PIe - Seafood Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Pleasantly surprised! This was my first lunch during Miami Spice and I don't regret it. Now based on the images online, we were expecting a different set up - it looked like it was on the water but gave more of an elevated pub vibe across from a marina in Sunset Harbor. It was slow on a Monday so the bartender doubled as our server; attentive and personable. For $35, we enjoyed 3 courses and my friend had a promotion for a complimentary glass of rose or wine. I started with the crab cake - as a DMV native I'm particular about crab cakes but this one hit the spot. It was a nice size which is uncommon for a starter and it was delicious. They were out of the Fishtail sandwich but I was able to sub it with the Crispy Hogtail and it was so good! Flaky, perfect pickled veggies and well seasoned. Ending with the coconut key lime pie, I enjoyed it but it was a little too tangy to finish the whole thing. Overall this was a great choice for Miami Spice, considering the price point and options provided. read more

Came here a few times and each time - WOW! They are super creative when it comes to seafood - they definitely know what they're doing. The fish wings are amazing and its a huge order or order wisely. They had a special of the day with a hogfish and it was delicious. We also got the hamachi with popcorn - super creative combination - the textures and tastes were unforgettable. Ad the ceviche - super fresh and flavorful! Lastly, we ordered the deviled eggs and they were also good but on the smaller side - little pops of flavor. The cocktails weren't as good so that could improve, but definitely come here for the seafood - you won't be disappointed! read more

Came in for their Miami Spice dinner special and it was pretty fantastic. The ceviche and conch fritters were so good! For mains we had the fried chicken with a crispy seasoned batter that was not overly fried and had a great taste. We also had the fried grouper sandwich that was pretty big and had chunks of white fish. Very good. For dessert we went with the key lime pie tart and chocolate cake skillet with a scoop of coconut ice cream. I definitely think the Miami Spice menu was worth it here and then you can take a nice walk at MauriceGibbs Park across the street and catch the sunset at the harbor. A wonderful time! read more

I'm glad we got to try this restaurant for Miami Spice. The service was amazing and the dish presentation was just like the pictures. I was seated right away and our waiter surprised us with a Guava Daiquiri to try for our drinks. They taste so good and I would love to have it again. We each order a different dish from the Miami Spice Menu to try. To start we ordered the conch fritters and the smoked fish dip. Both were delicious and we especially enjoyed the smoked fish dip. For my main I ordered the American Root breakfast that comes from scrambled eggs with grits and chicharrón plus mini waffles. It was good but I really enjoyed the chicharrón texture it was crispy yet tender. The eggs were perfectly cooked but lacked seasoning. The grits were good and mini waffles were fluffy. My niece ordered the crispy fish sandwich and enjoyed it as well the chips. She said that it was perfectly breaded but lacked seasoning. For dessert we each got a different one to share my niece choose the cast iron skillet chocolate cake with vanilla gelato and coconut flakes and I choose the key lime pie. Both were good but I like the key lime custard filling. Overall we enjoyed our meal and drinks. read more

Every now and than you have to treat yourself and this restaurant was definitely worth it! I took my girlfriend here for a late birthday date because of the great reviews and being seafood lovers we had to try! The service and food was amazing! FYI it's not cheap so be prepared to spend some coins especially if you get the whole fish. We had the hogtail snapper, lemon grass fries and grilled asparagus with 2 adult beverages total cost $288.00 with tip for 2 people. We will definitely be back. read more

Stiltsville puts the happy in happy hour with their great deals. They have lots of good food options. You must try the deviled eggs with caviar. They also have a list of cocktails with premium liquor. If you're a fan of mezcal, get the Oaxacan Paradise. So good! Our server, Orlando, took amazing care of us. He definitely kept us happy! read more

If you want to try some amazing seafood come to Stiltsville! Before my Miami trip I'm googling menus left and right trying to decide on places I want to try. As soon as I opened the menu I knew this was the place. Very rarely do you see hogfish on the menu and I've only ever seen it in Florida. We sat outside in the covered patio area. I dined on a stone crab claw, fried hogfish and a delectable cocktail. I wish I had more time visiting because I would have come back and tried more on their menu. Thank you Stiltsville for satisfying my tastebuds! read more

Worst service in Miami by far, but decent albeit overpriced food. Waited 1 hour for some fried chicken, over an hour for a hogfish sandwich. Took 20 mins to even take our order. Get it takeout or delivery. Hogfish sammy is special but not worth the time or the cost. read more

Although I'm a regular at Stiltsville I had my best experience today at brunch. Reni was extremely knowledgeable & personable and was able to answer all of my questions about the menu without hesitation. The food never disappoints but today's meal was particularly superb. The fish wings are one of my favorite menu items and I've had them several times but for some reason today's catch was out of this world. And the fact that Reni was able to explain the why's and how's made it that much better of an experience. The conch fritters were phenomenal; not some nonsense cornmeal with a splash of conch, but conch you could taste! My husband and I come here all the time but we brought a first timer with us and were so happy to share this experience with them. We will obviously continue to visit but are so glad we turned someone else onto this place. read more

We stopped in on a whim and are so glad we found this gem! Natalie, our waitress extraordinaire, recommended the hog snapper and it was probably the most delicious fish we've eaten in the area. Watermelon salad and grits were delicious and 50% off wine bottles is an instant amazing afternoon. 10/10 recommend if you find yourself in Miami Beach! read more

Stopped in for a late lunch/ early dinner with a fairly large group of people. We ordered appetizers, some mains, desserts, and drinks. The appetizers were ok we found that most of the food was lacking salt and seasoning. The tuna tartar and ceviche were good but many of us did not find the fish wings or crab cakes to be tasty. The food also took an insanely long time to come out even though we were a decent sized party the rest of the restaurant was virtually empty. From the time we placed the order for our mains ( two burgers and a fish sandwich) it took approximately 30-45 minutes. When the burgers and sandwiches came out they also lacked seasoning and flavor. The fries were good so was the lemon aioli that that was about it for the mains. The desserts and coffee also took extremely long to come out. We got to the restaurant at about three and did not leave until about 6:30 to give perspective on the time. The drinks were good but I probably wouldn't return. read more

I've heard of this place for yearssss now. Even had an old coworker work at this spot at one point and still never came to visit. Eventually I did make it out during Miami Spice. I wish I had visited sooner because the food was great! I went with a friend, so we were able to order a ton of stuff. The smoked fish dip and the shrimp and grits were my favorite. The portions were served standard-sized and packed with flavor. Drinks were also on point and came out at a timely-manner. The ambiance was quiet since we went in the middle of the day. I enjoyed it too. Sometimes you want to eat your food in silence haha. I recommend this spot for anyone in the area. It seems like a great post-work stop too. read more

I went on a solo lunch date and it was delicious. It was definitely happy hour so of course I got the buffalo fish wings and they were so yummy and I got a cocktail pictured below however, I wouldn't recommend it compared to some of the other cocktails that were on the menu that I've had in the past. It was fairly empty when I got there, but the food was served hot, I also recommend trying to smoke fish dip on Tuesday if they have two dollar tacos they're very small so don't get too excited because you're definitely gonna need about three or four of them. Definitely will come back. Definitely go to places when I'm in the Miami Beach area. read more

I went yesterday with 2 friends for the Kentucky Derby Party event they sponsored and we loved it! They served a pre fixe 5 small plate menu that consisted of a delicious fish dip with homemade chips, the best tuna tartare I have ever tasted, shrimp tacos, and even a generous slice of key line pie. Bar/restaurants can be fun but not all have amazing food. That is where Stiltsville won with me! I loved my mint juleps, made with Jameson and served in a copper tin! My friend was very happy with the margaritas and my other friend sported the Walking on Stilts drink. They had racing games where you would pick a horse from a basket and whoever got the winning horse for that race, won an awesome prize! Of course will all wore our Sunday attire with derby hats. It was fun to dress up and congratulations yo the young lady who won the hat contest. We met and spoke with the owners who came by a few times to see how we were doing. It was a pleasure to meet such a lovely couple. The ambience was perfect, a mix of both young and older, but everyone was having a great time. I saved the best for last. Our server Jason! Jason was so attentive even though it was very busy. For the best service, ask for Jason! read more

This completely unassuming place, that is up for a James Beard, is going to leave you full and happy! Made reservations on a random Miami night and it was so good, we came back the following day. Between both days, we ordered: Buffalo fish wings - 10 out of 10 for sure. Unique idea to use the whole fish - it's meaty and packed with flavor Smoked fish dip - It's light and delicious coupled with their house made chips and pickled onions and peppers - finger-licking good Sweet corn spoon spread - this was pretty meh. Didnt like the texture and the taste fell flat. Tiradito - super fresh, light and paired perfectly with the ripe avocado and the popcorn and hominy added such a different and unexpected touch and flavor. Genius dish! Scallops & pork belly - this was unexpectedly rich with the most perfectly seared scallops, which are my favorites. It has amazing Asian flare with the pok choy and rich soy sauce. Caviar deviled eggs - they were good but nothing to write home about. The following day for brunch, we had the smoked fish dip (yes, again lol). My wife ordered the fish sandwich. Wish I could share if it was good but judging by how she devoured it and I didn't even get to sniff it, I would say it was damn good, lol. I ordered a sort of crab french toast. Now hear me out - it was BANGIN'! I wasnt sure what to expect but the sweetness of the bread caught me off guard and the richness of the béchamel sauce was INSANE. Unfortunately, I cannot remember what the name of the dish is and even worse, cannot find it listed on the brunch menu. I promise, however, it is there, and it is definitely enough of a portion to share with two people. Beyond the food being absolutely delicious this place is so chill and vibe. Is Poppin and the staff seems really chill and down to earth. You arent rushed by any means so it's a great place to graze over multiple dishes and chat with your friends and family. All in all, a spot I definitely plan to return to again, and again when I am in Miami Beach. Enjoy! read more

Stiltsville Fish Bar - Unassuming and in the cut entrance. - Seafood Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

If you like fish this is your spot. You can get whole fresh hogfish and snappers. I think the most interesting thing they have that I've never seen anywhere else are fish wings. Essentially the meat near pelvic fin that doesn't get filleted. Should crazy but is delicious and a lot of food for the price. Fishdip/Oysters all on point. read more

After Black Friday shopping walked here for dinner. They had a price fixed menu of $60 per person but we opted for the regular dinner menu. We wanted to try the tackle box because of the yelp reviews. It did not disappoint. The food was amazing and so was our server Christina. She made me the best decaf cappuccino. We would definitely come here again on our next trip to Miami. I hope they will still have the Buffalo fish wings that we didn't get to try. read more

Even though I had to dip out early for my flight, this seafood spot still totally crushed it. We booked a table for my bestie's bachelorette trip, and we had the best time. The vibe was super fun and full of local flavor -- exactly what you want in Miami. Our host Hansel was amazing, taking group pics for us and even hooking us up with celebratory shots. If you're ever in Miami and want a cute local place with good food, history, and a great atmosphere, this is the spot. read more

Stiltsville Fish Bar - Seafood Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

I was able to finally check out the place on the last day of Miami spice and the food didn't disappoint. Upon arrival I was expecting something different. For some reason I expected a water view as did my friend but it's a cute quaint restaurant. If sitting inside to escape the heat of the outside patio it is definitely a strong fish smell upon entering but it's a fish house. So there's that. Our waiter was so good. Funny and suggested menu items. I will note that they were out of the friend chicken at 1:30 in the afternoon and the fish tail sandwich was swapped out for the hog head. So I got the fish dip, hog head sandwich, and the cast iron brownie. Washed it all down with a glass of rose'. None of the food items missed. I'd definitely visit again. read more

Only place we found that had Conch fritters. Kind staff. Fritters were good, perhaos mire filler than conch. The fish dip was very good!. Fresh fish is also sold here.

Terrible first impression -- we didn't even stay to eat. We had a reservation for a regular table, but when we arrived, the hosts tried to seat us at a high-top instead. We waited about 10 minutes, looked around, and saw how dirty the place was. They were also out of half the items on the menu. When we decided to leave, I explained the situation to the hostess -- she didn't say a word, just let us walk out. The funniest part? Forty minutes later, they called asking where we were. Seriously? Honestly, the only reason people are probably going here is because hotel concierges are getting paid to send them. Don't fall for it -- there are way better places in Miami Beach. read more

I don't think we'll be making this restaurant 1 of our go to's anyone even though we supported them weekly during the pandemic! We decided this even before us having to pull over , on our drive home , as we both immediately felt the runs coming on ! horrible!!! Neither of us felt well after eating there ,as we walked to our car, but we certainly didn't expect to get the runs from it! I Don't know which it was from ,which is scary ,but we think it was from the bad shrimp or the mahi sandwich. We both ordered the fish sandwich and my husband ate his even though he commented on how overly salty it was. I had 3 bites of mine and wished I hadn't! The first bite was sooo salty, I put it down. I had a bite of the arugula salad that accompanied it and there was so much dressing on it, I spit it out into my napkin. How could everything be so bad today ?! At this point I reached over and just shared his lemongrass fries which we love. Even these were so salty I had to take the paper napkins from under my glass and wipe each one before I ate it! I should've taken a picture of how much salt came off them , it was ridiculous! I'm not sure if there was a fill in cook that day , but I did see chef McInnis outside the restaurant! I would've mentioned all of this to him, personally, but i didn't see him when we left. We had also ordered the shrimp and grits because we love it so much there. We both had a 1/2 of a bite of a piece of shrimp and knew something was wrong! He thought it was the quality of the shrimp and didn't eat anymore. ( this is very rare for my husband as he grew up in New England and is a huge Seafood lover! I have never seen him leave any type of Seafood untouched!). I thought the shrimp looked beautiful and the dish looked delicious , as always, So I took a piece of shrimp . I bit into it , and unfortunately, swallowed it since I had already spit the salad dressing bite into my napkin . The shrimp felt and tasted "gel -ly". My first reaction was that it wasn't cooked all the way through, but now I think the shrimp was bad. We didn't touch another bite of the shrimp. We did eat most of the rest of the dish. ( see pic for details). I was still hungry, so I took another bite of my mahi fish sandwich . It didn't taste good at all. I ate a few more fries and went back 1 more time to the fish sandwich to see if it was just that part of the fish , but it still tasted bad, so left it. I NEVER leave food on my plate at a restaurant! ( I was raised where we had to eat everything on our plate before we were excused from the dinner table. My dad would tell us that people were starving around the world, and our mother worked in the kitchen all day, preparing the food for us, and we needed to eat it. This unfortunately has stuck with me causing great feelings of guilt when I see people leaving a lot food on their plates! ) I'm also a big "foodie" ( I have a separate Instagram page dedicated just to food ) and a food blog. I usually only order and dine at restaurants where I know the food will be great and I always take the remainder to go! You can see once again from my pics how much of the fish sandwich was left behind as well as the whole plate of shrimp and arugula salad. I am so disappointed that we had this experience today , as this has always been a "go to "restaurant for us. We even pay a lot extra to upgrade the fish sandwich to grouper when they have it and live for their triple tail! To be honest, though , the last few times we've dined here , hadn't been the same. Besides the bad experience with the food, today , the fact that we both immediately got the runs from it will now keep us from recommending or returning to this restaurant. I had the runs twice and feel ok now, so I'm guessing it was the shrimp since I only had a bite of it. Silver lining ~ the restaurant was cleaner than usual and I feel lucky I'm not throwing up, too! Hope Stiltsville can figure things out. I really hope they do , especially before he opens his new restaurant! Also, they also owe me a new pair of Victoria's Secret panties !!!! read more

I like this place. The atmosphere and service and food quality are all great. But it's WAY!!!! overpriced. Even by today's standards. Here's the breakdown. We ordered 2 fresh hog snappers and it cost this 2 1.75 LBS Hog Snapper$154! It's just not worth it! It was tasty, yes but not $154 worth. Also, everything is overstated. Who ever on the frying station, please take it easy. Total bill, for 1 appetizer, 3 drinks, 2 fish, 1 dessert , with all fees and taxes and tips $330. Frankly, you can find a better place for that kind of money. read more

I had a decent meal here a couple of years ago, but my experience has been soured by relentless marketing emails that I never signed up for. These messages come from their reservation system, and despite multiple attempts to unsubscribe, they keep coming. I've used the unsubscribe feature repeatedly with no effect and even tried calling the restaurant--only to be immediately hung up on. At this point, it seems like they are aware of the issue and simply don't care. If you value your inbox (and customer service), consider this a warning. Update 2024-02-12: even after messaging with Juan (owner who replied to this review), I'm still receiving spam emails from Stiltsville. :( read more

We loved our Stiltsville experience on a Friday night in April! Our server was very friendly and attentive. The martinis were fabulous, as were the fresh oysters. The half dozen oysters were $24 so if you're on a budget, def ask about the market price before ordering. I loved seafood so I couldn't pass up ordering the grilled octopus. (which comes with spanish chorizo, blackened maduros, smoky plantain puree, salsa verde & cilantro). It was so good, honestly my mouth is watering just thinking about it lol. It's in a great location on the bay so we were able to catch the beautiful sunrise. If you're staying on the ocean side of South Beach, it's a quick 10-15 minute Uber ride. It seemed like there were locals dining so it's def not a tourist trap (and it says something if locals are dining there! read more

Stopped in for seafood while in Miami and liked the overall setup. The place has a real boat house, fisherman vibe with lots of nautical touches, which makes it feel different from your typical restaurant. Service was smooth and friendly, and the food came out fresh and well-cooked. A solid spot if you're looking for good seafood in a laid-back, coastal-style atmosphere. read more

I've asked for the sixth star before and if I could Stiltsville Fish Bar would be first in line. First, what a great name right??!! When you first arrive the place is so unassuming. Of course there's a bucket of fresh fish packed in ice by the bar ( which is well stocked BTW). Choose anything it's all fantastic ( see photos) from oysters to stone crabs to mango salad to grilled tuna with a first ever pineapple fried rice - nice! If you manage to save room go for the carrot cake - though good luck getting there. Service is warm and friendly and if you go for the whole fish they filet at your table. This place is a gem.

Had the best experience at SFB! Obviously used Yelp for reviews prior to our visit. The pictures of the Sweet Corn Spoon Bread had me drooling. Did not make a reservation & had no issue being accommodated at the table we desired. Was graciously greeted by Jon, who was beyond an excellent server & wonderful guide through the menu. We sat outside and it was the perfect blend of intimate seating while still being able to talk to people passing by. The interior was clean and inviting too! After listening to our likes & dislikes, Jon encouraged me to try the large Stone Crab Claws & they were AMAZING! He also suggested the Seared Tuna which was so fresh. It came with a side of Pineapple Fried Rice which was great as well. We ordered the Asparagus side which we could have done without, it did not stand out like the rest of the meal did. For dessert, we received a delicious slice of Key Lime Pie. What an amazing finish! Thank you Jon! Parking is available ina public lot across the street. There is also plenty of street parking as well. It was easy to navigate to & there were helpful directions available on their website. BONUS: they have the best homemade coconut lime sugar scrub in the bathroom! They also sell jars of it next to the bar! read more
