50 Best American Restaurants near Key Biscayne

“We’ve vacationed 3X in the area now, played here all 3X never disappoints. Great layout, great staff. I wish 18 was a par 20. Great finishing hole, drinks at 19, then dinner at the rusty pelican. Play it you won’t regret it“

“Stopped in here for lunch after reading a few reviews. Place was very nice and relaxing, which was the kind of lunch we were looking for. My kid had her first quesadilla there, I also had the same, and it was outstanding. The flavors were on point, and the portion was so big - we probably should've just shared since we both left with half. ? Great little tucked away place for an affordable, good meal while on Key Largo.“

“Great first experience at this very romantic and expertly fashioned dining establishment! The staff is very friendly, and eager to meet (and exceed) your expectations. The menu selections are not only creative, but reasonably priced for such a location in Downtown Miami, with combos which include appetizers you can pair with any one of several entrées. The views of the bay from the main and private dining rooms are exceeded ONLY by the waterfront patio area that offers just enough privacy and comfort for its dining guests, while providing an expansive view of the bay.

It truly doesn't get better than this!

I look forward to returning in the coming weeks when business pulls me back to Miami.“

I especially loved the plantains on the Cuban plate. The beachfront location adds to the nice vibe of the place.“

“Friendly, comfortable and cozy this is another Blue Collar gem. I came for the happy hour 5-6:30 and had three items and a amber ale draft. Now that that’s done; I’m coming back for the regular menu. Clams casino, oysters on the half shell and seared scallops were absolutely the bomb! Try it!“

“Excellent menu and excellent service“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Visit at Miami Airport!

Had a long layover at the Miami Airport and decided to stop by Corona Beach House and wow, what a great choice! We ordered the chorizo queso and chicken sandwiches, and both were incredible. The chorizo queso, in particular, was hands-down the best I’ve ever had in my life… so good that we actually ordered another one to go and packed it in our backpack for the flight!

A huge shout-out to Joanna, our amazing server, who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. She even checked on our flight time to ensure we wouldn’t miss our connection. Her kindness and attention to detail truly made our experience exceptional.

If you ever find yourself traveling through Miami International Airport, Corona Beach House is an absolute must-stop. They even have an express area designed to accommodate travelers on the go. Don’t miss it — and be sure to ask for Joanna!“

Brianna L. Was very helpful and nice! From the tuna sashimi, wagyu dumplings to flaming lobster thermido and NY strip wagyu ( which my husband is very particular with) to dessert! The Giselle pearls and 24k peanut butter chocolate bar… WHAT an experience! Thank You GiselleMiami !“

“Firsy things first, This restaurant is now called Celias. We were looking for Biscayne Tavern and walked right past it twice lol. Went inside the hotel and they let us know we were in the right spot and that the name had changed. The food was very tasty and served hot. The Mahi Mahi sandwich was seasoned perfectly and the cilantro sauce was delicious. We had a few drinks that were also delicious. Overall its a nice place, decorated beautifully with tropical colors and accents.“

We ordered two chef’s suggestions, and it was a great choice. Both dishes were delicious, well prepared, and full of flavor, showing the quality of the ingredients and attention to detail. The presentation was also very nice, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable.
We were able to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed, in a comfortable and relaxed setting, ideal for spending time together as a couple. The service was excellent throughout our visit: the staff was always attentive, friendly, and very professional, making sure everything was perfect.
Overall, it was a very positive experience, a place we would definitely recommend and happily return to in order to try more of their dishes.“

“Red Rooster is our go to when we want to go out for a nice evening and don't want to roll the dice trying a new place. We know the vibe and food will always be on point. I think by now we've been here about a dozen times and have never been disappointed. They do change the menu seasonally but always have an amazing selection. The cornbread is always first on the order. I got the fried catfish with red curry sauce. Let's just say if I didn't live so far I'd be ordering it again to go. I also had the fried green tomatoes which was amazing! Meal was 10/10 as usual. Can't wait to go back.“

“Had a wonderful night tonight! Loved the fact that Heather, the General Manager came over to speak to us. We watched her walk all around with a smile and stop and talk to every table. You know she is happy with her job by her great smile! We will be back“

“In love with this place!! I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the excellent quality of the food, its exquisite flavor. The service of the establishment and the hospitality of its staff is invaluable since it harmonizes with the beauty of the place, it is a clean place located in an excellent area that allows you to relax while enjoying a wonderful view on the terrace!“

“Stopped in for a light breakfast and some coffee on June 17, 2025. Had a great server by the name of Richie S. He was prompt, polite and professional. The three p's that denotes a great employee. He was also patience and properly groomed, those are rare qualities in today's society. This made my dining experience exceptional, and I have always enjoyed stopping at Denny's when traveling. It also made my day, thanks to Richie and the entire staff of Denny's at 3600 Biscayne Blvd in Miami, Florida.“

“LOVE! Walter is an amazing server and the staff as a whole is super into it. Watching FSU V Miami and couldn’t imagine a better vibe“

“I had heard about this hot restaurant from New York that I must try, but was reticent to do so because Carbone was the name of a character from Goodfellas that Robert Deniro's Jimmy Conway whacked when tying up loose ends after the Lufthansa job! Poor sap was hanging frozen in a meat locker. I'm glad I put that imagery aside because this place was amazing! Platitudes like wonderful ambience, fine service, flavorful food, great family style dining, are all applicable but just don't capture the full spirit of the evening. From the pickled cauliflower, to the signature spicy rigatoni ala vodka (which pairs nicely with their pinot noir offering Presqu'ile), to the Caesar salad (you must have those croutons!), and their delicious Italian petit-fours, everything burst with flavor and was resplendent of the authenticity of old Venice. And since you will be spending more than a few pennies here, one must luxuriate in the mid century environs replete with Murano glass chandeliers while being serenaded with a sound track of Italian crooners like Mel Torme and Frank Sinatra in the full bela canta tradition. If you have a special occasion, Carbones Miami Beach will make for a memorable evening.“

“Excellent food and service.The quality of the food and ingredients is appreciated. Our waiter Sebastian was the perfect complement to the excellence“

“Everything about the restaurant was great. Our server Jaslyn was very attentive and ensured we got our meals exactly how we wanted them. The allowed us to change our sides with the bay back ribs which were really delicious. When we were leaving one of my friends accidentally dropped her passport and we were travelling early the next day. The restaurant called us and notified us and we were able to return and retrieve it. That saved us a lot of anxiety and stress. Overall a great experience and we will definitely return again.“

“One of our favorite restaurants!“

“Amazing spot for a delicious meal. The Scottish salmon was the best Salmon I’ve ever had- truly delicious!“

“Great place for couples!. A great choice for a first date. The food was served buffet style, and the service was excellent. They have a dance floor and a bar area with many intimate dining tables for couples. And if you are feeling romantic, Just 2 blocks away you will find the Executive Airport Hotel with sexy and romantic suites!“

“Jason… our server gave exceptional service. Food was delicious 😋 highly recommend this place“

“The quality of food is high, for that I recommend it. The reason I wouldn’t go back is that the staff just did not care we were there at all. Still waiting for them to ask how everything is… we came through last year and had a totally different experience staff was super friendly and engaged even though the place was packed. We caught them at turnover and they couldn’t care less. We talked about hitting craft as a high point for our one night in Miami before cruising… and now we won’t bother going back to Bayside.“
