Garcia‘s was the best meal we had in Miami by far. The stone crab, scallops, shrimp, and lobster were amazing. I actually enjoyed octopus for the first time. The cocktails were fantastic! It’s mighty rare that I get my socks knocked off at a restaurant. They were knocked off all right.
Garcia’s Seafood Grille & Fish Market – Fresh stone crab with lovely river views We tried Garcia’s Seafood Grille & Fish Market after visiting the History Museum, as we were looking for a place serving stone crab in Miami. On the ground floor, there is a seafood counter displaying different sizes of stone crab claws and other fresh catches, while the actual restaurant is upstairs. I highly recommend sitting on the outdoor terrace on the second floor — the river view is very relaxing and pleasant. We ordered large stone crab claws, which were very fresh and flavorful. The restaurant had already cracked the shells for us, so it was easy to eat — a thoughtful detail that we really appreciated. We also tried the Chilean seabass; the fish itself was nicely cooked, though the portion was a bit small. For sides, we chose mashed potatoes and fried plantains, which were just average. We also ordered a bottle of Kim Crawford, it was match perfectly with our seafood. The prices are on the higher side, but overall the ambiance and service were excellent, making it a worthwhile experience — especially if you want to try stone crab in Miami.
I’d been wanting to try Garcia’s for a while, hoping to enjoy a nice lunch with my family overlooking the river. The setting didn’t disappoint, and the food was good—nothing extraordinary, but solid. The service, however, could use some improvement; maybe it was just the server we had. Overall, it’s still a nice spot worth checking out.
Some of the best seafood I've ever had. The staff was very polite and prompt and the atmosphere was great out on the deck overlooking the Miami River. We tasted several of their signature dishes, the blackened yellowtail was incredible, the Mahi Mahi in Peruvian sauce was soook delicious, and the grilled seafood platter gave a great taste of everything else. All was cooked to perfection and I could make a beverage company out of the Peruvian sauce it was so good. Easy parking out front and worth the stop.
I’m not from here but this is the first place I visited on my trip to Miami and I was not disappointed. The food is fairly priced for seafood and the portions are quite large. I truly wasn’t expecting the grilled seafood platter to be so big and so I accidentally ordered way too much. Everything I tried was delicious and I especially loved my spicy inferno margarita.
