Garcia's Seafood Grille is on the waterfront in a very On the Waterfront way. The family-owned venture isn't glitzy, pretentious, or expensive (sandwich with a side is $8, dinner with two sides $12 to $14). The outdoor terrace view is not of yachts and million-dollar marinas, but of weather-beaten docks and warehouses, of old freighters heaped with used bounty. There are no karaoke nights, saketinis, or salad bars. Garcia's is simply an informal, old-timey fish house with a fryer, a grill, and a market's worth of fresh seafood to dunk into the former and toss onto the latter. There are fish soups (grouper chowder), fish salads (dolphin caesar), fish fritters (conch), fish sandwiches (the signature mahi-mahi), and full fish dinners (including stone crabs when in season) — all preceded by complimentary smoked fish spread and crackers. The beer is cold, the breezes balmy, and the ambiance unbeatable. Gosh, Karl Malden would have loved this place.
nothing makes me happier than hearing my boyfriend say "let's go to garcia's!" i'm a tough critic and i can honestly say i have never been let down at this place! the salmon with the pink and brown concoction-amazing! the fresh yellowtail- amazing! the lobster bisque- just right! the whipped mashed potatoes- delicious! LOVE LOVE LOVE =)
Definitely agree! Great meeting place and the seafood is always fresh especially since they catch it themselves. I wouldn't go anywhere else for fresh seafood. And the waterfront dining gives you a taste of old Miami.
This is my favorite place to eat in Miami. Eat quick at the kitchen bar, Long dinner outside with water view or go upstairs to a old Miami River theme. Family owned and it shows in their service. Great place!
