This hidden gem has been around for over 30 years and I found out why today! Most restaurants give you bread, this one gives you crackers with fish dip that's absolutely fantastic! Then I had the blackened mahi on top of a wedge blue cheese salad and it was epic! The service was exceptional and made us feel welcomed for first timers. 10/10 will return again read more

The Fish House - Mahi on a wedge Salad - Seafood Near Me - Miami, Florida

Walking inside indeed felt like I was in a restaurant in New Orleans. We were seated in the live music room which held reggae. As we waited for a waitress, a fish dip and crackers "bread service" brought out, which was delicious. The mahi-mahi tacos with rice and beans were fresh and well-seasoned. For some reason, the rice and beans came out in little plastic cups which seemed unnecessary. Service was excruciatingly slow, and we felt neglected. It took at least 30 minutes to receive our meal after we ordered, and it took over 30 minutes after we finished our meal before the server returned. read more

Nothing like enjoying my bday weekend with friends at my fave live jazz bar in this area of Miami! We called in on Saturday night and got a nice comfy half booth in the live music room right away. The room is so cool, staff is relaxed, cool and inviting. Tonight Ollie is onstage playing guitar, singing and taking all our favorite requests! We all sing along and have a great night of good food, good music, good drinks and great company of other live music enthusiasts! They have a fresh fish case stocked with great stuff including stone crab--The food is terrific! From my favorite raw bar starters, fish soup, sushi, whole fish, protein bowls, steak/chicken, kids choices, and the like. Menu is huge, something for everyone. The complimentary starter is fish dip and saltines. It Definitely sets the fish house mood! I love the decor--so jazzy, so mardi gras, so eclectic kitsch. It's just a relaxed fun time right on Miller Drive. Feels almost like a speakeasy! Aahhh, Miami--so chock full of these little unsung spots that you must be a local to know the secrets! All the fun is inside here. Check it out, it's all good at the Fish House. Thanks for following me, happy 2026! ~Tami in Miami read more

Had this restaurant saved in my favs for awhile. Had a cousin in town and my wife just so happens to say what's for dinner but she already had this place in mind. So off we went passed by this restaurant numerous times and it looks unassuming. But stepping inside it was extraordinarily decorated and dim. We got there during happy hour and the drinks did not disappoint, the bartender was heavy on the pour and if we had more time yeah we would have drank more. The plates and bowl was plentiful and the food was delicious. Service was outstanding as we didn't have to wait long to order or get our food. Did. Ot know they play music on the other side but will be back to check that out. Hidden gem you can't miss. read more

That is the only rating the Fish House deserves. You walk in and are automatically transported out of Miami. It's a little key west and a little New Orleans. This establishment has been in business for thirty years in an era when some establishments can't even last a year after opening. This is a neighborhood spot that serves high quality/fresh seafood, doesn't skimp on portion sizes and is still affordable in a day and age when EVERYTHING is expensive especially in Miami. We had so many dishes and drinks and we still barely scratched the surface of all their menu items. They make all their sauces in house and their little breads too! They also have a BOMB happy hour. AND THE SERVICE! You would expect a place having been around this long to be okay in the service department, but I would look down alto start eating my next dish and the dish we had just finished would already be bussed. Whenever I drank half my water, it was already refilled. Our server Dylan was amazing. And I feel like every 5 minutes or so there was someone asking if we needed something, was cleaning the table, refilling our drinks or getting our next order or recommending something else to try, but they were able to do it without being annoying which is a feat in and of itself. We got there at 6PM and left at closing! We stayed because there's another area called the Backroomlive that owners daughter started! It's a WHOLE vibe. And on Wednesday to Saturday they do live music. if you haven't been? Why not? And if you've been before, when are you going back?! This is an establishment that needs to be in your regular rotation of eating out or ordering in. This is a local mom and pops spot that needs to be in business for another thirty years! So go out and support! read more

What a gem!!! This place is awesome, just discovered it today and the menu is INSANE! So much variety involving fish and seafood that you are bound to find things you like. They also have live music everyday which is a major plus (mostly jazz and blues). The service was great and the interior makes you feel like you are in Flanigan's, very casual with large booths. Must try this place! read more

This place has been here since I can remember, but had not been there in a very long time. Recently visited with my family and I had Mahi-mahi tacos that were great! Service was just as good and great ambience read more

Visited this past Friday for Happy Hour. Had not been here in years. We have been to the one in Key Largo which is also fantastic. Nice and rustic ambiance, definitely seafood related decor. Welcomed to the table with crackers and seafood dip. I could eat a tub of the dip! Ordered two Margaritas for $6 each which were excellent in regular good size mug. Service was very good team effort. Appetizer was conch fritters, rather small, but tasty with dipping sauce. Lobster bisque on point, can eat a 5 gallon bucket of this easily. My wife had the fried shrimp with parsley potatoes. Tasty and enjoyable. I had the shrimp linguini covered in Parmesan sauce. Ate every bit of it even though I should of taken half home. Definitely recommend going for Happy Hour and save half the cost of dinner menu. Almost forgot Cuban Mojito to finish off the meal. Overall, just as good as the first time we came years ago. Go get yourself some !!! read more

Food, service and some blues never disappoints. We don't have many places with live blues and jazz artists like this in Miami and what a privilege to be present at the moment here to indulge. read more

Sunday lunch thought of this place because so many influencers have been raving about it. I use to come to this Fish House back in 2000 but haven't been back since. Decor inside is like the one in the keys, very welcoming. The man who gave us the crackers and fish dip was very pleasant and extremely nice. Conch fritters were ok, I ordered Mahi tacos, extremely bland no flavor whatsoever and just a bunch of shredded lettuce on top. I tasted my husband's Havana Banana Mahi, same problem fish super bland. If you don't add the mango sauce fish was flavorless. I prefer the one at the keys 100% read more

The service is phenomenal and the food is amazing. The music is chill. Soon as you sit you're welcomed.

Such a cool vibe with live bass music in the back room. The fish dip is incredible. We had pasta, oysters and sea bass which all I'd highly recommend. The menu is extensive but you can't go wrong with any choice. Friendly and attentive service. read more

Amazing fresh seafood and excellent service. Our waitress Maria was so helpful and professional! She was great at suggesting different things for us to try. We had fresh shocked oysters which were delicious. Lobster bisque was so creamy and flavorful and lastly our crabcakes...oh man! They were huge and with just the right amount of crab and seasoning. It was accompanied by some of the best French fries we've had in a long time! Definitely will be back to try some of the other items in the menu! Thank you Maria for making our visit so pleasant! read more

This restaurant is going downhill fast. The portions have gotten noticeably smaller while the prices continue to climb. The rice portion was practically a thimble full, and $24 for a few tiny slivers of hamachi is hard to justify. The fish was okay, but they're charging premium prices for what is ultimately a very mediocre experience. The service was acceptable, but it wasn't enough to make up for the poor value. I've been coming here for quite a while and have watched the quality decline over time. Unfortunately, this visit was the last straw. I won't be coming back. read more

Most rude just ever! Came into this establishment last light expecting a great experience to be told there is a 20 minute wait and of course not a problem! Another group comes in 10 minutes later and they were sat within minutes and when asked we were told they called in to place their table on hold which I was not even aware of and we decided to leave as the table we were being offered was very uncomfortable. read more

Been wanting to try the fish house for some time now. Finally dropped by today for lunch. The ambiance was really sea food / Florida marine life. It always feels comforting when you see all the fisherman pics and memorabilia in a seafood establishment. The service was good and very attentive. They didn't miss a beat. We tried the lobster bisque soup and New England clam chowder which both very delicious. The steamed clams were fire! We tried the fish creole and fried fish chunks from lunch section on the menu. They both came with 1 side we did the yellow rice. The creole wasn't too flavorful it need more taste to it. It was decent. Besides the creole, everything else was good. The menu is vast so hopefully I'll be back soon to try some plates. Thank you ! read more

I've been to this restaurant several times through the years. I Have found the food acceptable in the past. Sunday I ordered a tuna loin $30 which came with one side (two tostones) and the ginger sauce $5. The tuna was so full of gristle, I could barely cut it, had to pull it apart. I left half On the plate and ate 2 tostones. Complained to waiter and said was not served loin and wanted my complaint referred to chef, unacceptable for a fish restaurant. The waiter brought bill and did not adjust any part of my meal, and instead offered some comment about how their food is always very good. read more

I really enjoy this restaurant and I've come here several times. For whatever reason every time I come here they see me at the same table. I'm not sure why I don't especially like the table. I know they have music in the other room and they never see me in there although I never asked to maybe that's why. That being said, I have ordered the number of things here. They start out with a complementary fish dip and crackers. My wife is not a fan, but I love it. I have had the fried whole fish and feel it can compete with any restaurant on how delicious it tastes and how fresh it is. Their stone crab claws are reasonably priced. Their cracked conk is a bit salty for my taste, but still enjoyable. But my go to here is always the mahi cancun, which is broiled and topped with an awesome creole sauce. The mahi tacos are a treat as well. They have a wonderful happy hour with great prices. I find the hapoy hour food portions to be quite adequate. Service is quick but friendliness varies. Solid restaurant which i visit regularly. read more

We went to the fish house on a Saturday for lunch and the restaurant was fairly empty. We were seated immediately. Our waitress was so nice and attentive and the food came out pretty quickly. They give you a small serving of fish dip when you first sit, I checked in and was able to get the full size for the table. This fish dip is amazing. We ate the entire thing and would definitely order again. For my entree, I ordered the lobster roll and it was loaded with lobster. It's served with warm butter on the side for dipping and it was the perfect touch. Pro tip: dip the fries in the butter read more

I normally do not down rate a restaurant but lately, restaurant owners are very relaxed with food quality, service and cleanliness. The Fish House has completely disillusioned me. They used to be so good when they first opened in Miller drive. Their service and food were very good and they had a very distinctive ambiance. Visited them twice during the last 6 months and will not do it again. This is a wakeup call to their owners. BTW. I read your reply but could not figure out how to reply. So here it goes. Please take this as a wake-up call. I certainly do not want you to fail. We used to go every week as we lived very close by. We supported you during the pandemic eating out in the tent. I support the local merchants and I want you to wake up and get your act together again. Btw that other person was not my husband. read more

Fish house is still a good time.They have fresh ingredients and each dish is made with love. You can also purchase fresh seafood here since it's also a market and don't forget to try the variety of sushi. You can sit at the bar and watch your meal being prepared. Almost everyday there are specials but they always have some entertainment going on as well. Everyday thus place is packed but come here once.for the food and you'll keep coming back too. Check their website out to see the daily specials and what live entertainment they have going on. Also the owner is always there and sjes he sweetest. They have a pretty good thing going on here plus the decor is fun. Think Key west, nautical, and pirates. It's just still a cool place, with good music, entertainment, and fantastic food! read more

It's a shame to leave a negative review for a restaurant that actually serves good food! Unfortunately this place has a small room in the back with live entertainment that they bypass multiple empty tables, sometimes even putting small "reserved" signs on those tables. They sit you in the back, don't say why and charge a cover per person. We have been caught in this situation about three times in the last 6 months. Tonight they started to walk us to the back, again multiple empty booths. I said we were not interested in the show and the guy said he had to put us on a waiting list. We were a party of two and there were multiple clean empty tables. We waiting 10 minutes and decided to take our business elsewhere. It's a shame.. Response to Angela's message 5/15/2025: this was the 3rd time we were taken to the back room and both other times were charged per head the cover without being told there was a cover charge. Your response does not encourage me to return read more

Response to Angela, I did not say you sell Jumbo or Medium Stone Crabs. If that was not clear - what I meant to say is that the large crabs we were served were medium size at best, but the $65/pound price was closer to what Jumbo would be. Also, you up the menu price for those paying with credit cards without mentioning it. So the 2 orders of crabs cost $139.50 instead of $130. read more

1 suchi roll, 1 plain taco dish, 1 cup of soup, 1 beer. 20% tip total = $62.53 - food and service was not the best, complimentary fish paste smelled and tasted strongly fishy. - Worst yet, the per item price was bumped up by almost 4%, This was only found out after I asked for a printed bill. Supposedly there is a sign outside of the restaurant and it shows in the electronic bill they put in front of you. 2 persons reviewed the bill and menu and never saw this price hike advertised. Most restaurants give a discount if you pay cash, this setup is made to show lower menu prices while actually paying more than expected. This restaurant USED to be good, NOT ANY MORE. read more

The Fish House - Seafood Near Me - Miami, Florida

Hello everybody and I hope you are all doing very well. Well what can I say but that The Fish House is totally awesome. This restaurant has been around for many, many years in a very unassuming part of Miami, located in a strip mall on Miller Drive and 109 avenue in Kendall. Not where you would expect to find this little gem of a seafood restaurant for sure. No matter whether you are looking for raw bar items, traditional seafood or sushi, this place does it right and their prices will not break the bank either! Truthfully we have been coming here for years not just for dinner but to purchase fresh seafood from their market area. Atmosphere is great and very laid back as well. Nice times and you almost feel like you are somewhere in the Keys, which is perfect. Service is also excellent and our server provided us with a few good ideas as well. On this particular occasion we decided to go with the Colossal Shrimp cocktail and the Grilled Octopus to start. Both were amazing and the shrimp were huge! Only four included but believe me they were big enough. For our main courses we ordered the Caribbean Rice with Shrimp and the Chilean Sea Bass with Grilled Shrimp in a Parmesan sauce. Both were excellent and the fish and shrimp were super fresh as well. I highly recommend if you want to try something new for seafood that you give them a shot. I don't think you will be disappointed and it is well worth the drive. Hell I drove 15 miles to get here myself! Parking will not be a problem either guys as their is plenty available in the strip mall. Wishing you all the best, Enjoy and Bon Appétit! read more

A recommendation from my friend they lives local. A place to come for fresh fish and seafood. A place where you can come hang out and chat not get rushed out. They have enough room on the weekdays to not be rushed out. The slogan is "we not fancy, but we're fresh". Check in on yelp and get a free fish dip app. They give you a small sample, but the free app is a big portion, with tortillas chips. My Havana Banana Mahi was cooked perfectly. I'd order that anytime! The beans were a little weird to be with that dish, but tastes excellent and seemed fresh and steaming hot. The salsa was nice and fresh. Absolutely loved it! Blackened mahi tacos full of meat and flavor. Definitely a place the locals love read more

I hesitate to even write this in fear of never being able to get a table in here again. All I can say is WOW! I have been searching high and low for the perfect seafood restaurant... something that reminds me of home and growing up on the gulf coast of Florida. I've finally found it! In an unassuming strip mall sits the hidden gem of Miami. This place has been serving locals since 1998 and it's easy to see why. From start to finish, we have never been so impressed by a restaurant experience. We came in on Valentine's Day evening around 8:30 and were immediately greeted by a sweet hostess who was happy to welcome us newcomers. We were offered to sit in the back room for live jazz music for a $10 cover charge and happily accepted. The room transports you to New Orleans with its eclectic decor, NOLA-style balcony on the front wall, and of course the stage in the back. I didn't see much of the rest of the restaurant until a trip to the bathroom led me past two other dining areas, adorned with nautical decor, and a prominent display of delicious raw seafood ready to make its way to your plate. Our waitress arrived with a sample of fish dip and crackers for each of us, which was a lovely surprise. She was wonderfully attentive all while letting us enjoy our evening together uninterrupted. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Grigio and a dozen raw oysters to start. The oysters were perfectly sized, shucked well, and ICE COLD! They didn't last long at our table. After carefully weighing the options on the expansive menu, I decided to keep it old school and go with a Fresh Catch option served with one side. I chose the black grouper, grilled, with a lemon caper sauce and a Caesar salad. The salad came quickly and was large enough to split. The grouper was deliciously delicate and the sauce just phenomenal. My boyfriend chose the Mahi Mardi Gras chef's special that came smothered with a crawfish étouffée-like sauce on top all over a bed of white rice. Nothing like some crawfish and mahi with every bite. The portion was large and tough to finish. The highlight of the evening was the live music. I knew in advance that it was jazz night and their website listed a performer. To our surprise, this incredibly talented woman brought along with her several talented students of hers. Every single one of them sang beautifully, and the band was no less impressive. Towards the end, some regulars showed up and one of them joined the singer on stage for an "unforgettable" duet and a solo of his own. I can't underscore enough just how much we enjoyed it all. Like I said, I grew up in the panhandle of Florida and just can't get enough of good, fresh seafood - especially at a reasonable price point. I imagine everything on the menu is worth every penny! Even more, with Louisiana & Texas roots in my family, it was amazing to taste those perfect flavors and feel the sense of Cajun camaraderie I'm so accustomed to in the middle what can be a less-than-friendly city of Miami. Throughout the night, we couldn't stop smiling. We got home and immediately told everyone in ear shot they have to go to this place for their next date night! I simply can't wait to return. ‍ read more

Uhhhh!!! Where has this place been all of my life. Everything, I mean everything we ordered was amazing! This is a pescatarian's dream restaurant! The bad part of this place, if you want to call it negative, is that there were so many options for an indecisive person! (My hubby helps me with that). Just say, my husband's bday was a foody's paradise!!! From fried conch, to fish dip, to shrimp scampiiiii (of the scampi was devine), to sea bass (perfectly cooked), to an entire, whole fried fish ) seasoned to perfection, to the OysterRockefeller (oh mah dayum)! The drinks were delicious! I had a pitcher of sangria, and the fruits (although it was probably from a can) were so sweet. Our waitress was cool. She helped us with questions that we had. At first, we felt kinda rushed by her. However, towards the end of our meal, she was good. It seemed as though it was her personality. Still 5 stars! One of the things I am not sure of is, there is jazz and blues live in a particular room. I make reservations because I was not sure if a Saturday night would be packed. They reserved our seat for two, but we were eating in the room without the band. This was neither parties fault, I've just never been there and am not sure if you have to request the room with the band, so if you want the entire experience, ask to be seated there. The live band was so nice and relaxing that we ended up adding them to out Spotify! The cover charge is $7 per person, and after dinner, our waitress walked us over, and we sat on a seat/bench that they removed the tables from the front of them. Overall GREAT experience. We will be back. The worst part is that I work very closely! Lunch with the coworkers?! Noooooooo!! read more
