The River Oyster Bar

Don’t sleep on one of Miami’s best seafood restaurants. Located in the heart of Brickell for more than two decades, the River Oyster Bar is one of Miami’s top happy-hour spots for busy professionals and locals alike. The menu offers modern twists on classic seafood dishes – and a reprieve from the Miami heat in a sleek yet inviting dining room. While they’re famed for their ice-packed selection of hand-shucked, cold-water oysters, the menu goes far beyond bivalves. You can indulge in dishes like a mushroom-crusted black grouper paired with creamy mashed potatoes and cipollini in a mushroom jus, or a bracing snapper tartare with yuzu, wasabi tobiko, and crisp wontons, to name just two examples.
