    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.

    Catch of the day - crispy hogfish
    Wendy K.

    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.

    Really wanted to like this place , I went for Miami spice and it was subpar / The chicken was crispy but not flavorful. The conch fritter had no conch ? Just bland The regular lunch wasn't available, just a shit show

    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.

    Miami Spice Menu

    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.

    Hogtal snapper, lemon grass fries and grilled asparagus

    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.

    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!

    Walking in the door, I'm not sure if she was a host or a waitress, but she was fabulous. I sat at the bar I wanted fish and chips yelps said they had it. They didn't. The bartender. Jason suggested the fish Dip. Wonderful.

    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!

    Conch Fritters with Riesling and champagne

    The ambience was pleasant. Nathalie was are waitress but she wasn't attentive at all. Other than that the staff was pleasant. My dinner was delish. So was my date.

    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.

    Food mediocre at its best!! Service is nonexistent only to get the bill are they quick with it. Very expansive menu with small portions and choices.

    My Mint Julep
    Vivian M.

    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!

    Unassuming and in the cut entrance.

Walking in you get that old school feel with the staff dressed to the tee and very friendly.

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.

The ceviches were all pretty similar, with the exception of the coconut one. They were tangy, citrusy, and good, but every single one was begging for some spice. If you're ordering ceviche, I'd skip the mixed seafood and stick with the fish-only options. The red snapper was easily my favorite dish of the night. Deboned, fried to perfection, and presented beautifully. My sparkling wine paired perfectly with it. The salmon sashimi was also delightful. Overall, come for the classic ceviche and the fried fish. Those are the standouts. Just don't expect your 20% gratuity to include help boxing up your leftovers.

But, when I saw they were advertising a Lamb Gyro for $12 (Tuesdays), I took the leap. Seems it wasn't that far to jump. Although there were table cloths, cloth napkins and silverware, with room for a true dining experience, the fan sitting atop the bar, (blowing-off more air than necessary), and the plastic plants on the walls/ceilings threw-off any pretense I had of the place. When I requested the Lamb Gyro, the server pointed to an entree on the menu for me to approve. I made sure there wasn't another (re: pricier) offer. There was... it was the one he suggested. The gyro itself consisted of a bland (Tzatziki?) sauce that struggled to find my taste buds. Lamb (typically) has a gamey/slightly sweet flavor; these cuts seemed to be found from behind their refrigerator, (not from inside). They certainly weren't cut fresh from a spit, as they were old and nearly tasteless. The included slices of onion and peppers, delegated to the pita bottom, (instead of intermingling) barely helped. The French fries (included in the price) were the most flavorful part of the meal; although, they were an insult, rather than accompaniment to the experience. And, was that Latin (instead of traditional Greek) music coming from the speakers? Along with a 20% "Administrative" fee, I won't be tempted to venture in again.
