50 Best Seafood Restaurants near South Miami

“Recoveco is by far my favorite restaurant in Miami. I am shocked they don’t already have a Michelin star, because it is at the level. They have a seasonal menu which I love because it changes often, stays fresh, and everything they come up with is spectacular. From the first plates (papaya salad for the win), main dishes, THE DESSERTS, the service, this place is always on point. The last time we dined there our server, Michelle, was an absolute angel. So knowledgeable, kind, welcoming, she really made the experience that much better. Recoveco is our date night spot for life!!“

“Always love going to Old Lisbon and just tried this location for the first time. Food was great but rannn here to review our server Rodrigo! He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable with our two children. Our one year old was having a hard time and he kindly offered a coloring page. When his cup of water spilled, Rodrigo came right over to clean it up and didn’t make us feel like a burden. Going out with kids can be tough, but servers like Rodrigo make it feel a little more doable! Thank you and we will be back! :)“

“Had a great experience there....Natalie was my amazing server. Asked her what she likes to eat there the most and she suggested the steak tacos her way and told me you can add an extra taco for an extra expense and it was worth it???. She had awesome work ethics, a beautiful smile that made you feel like you were there with a childhood friend, and a giggle that made you giggle as well....will request her every time I go.... Thank you Natalie...you made my night!!!!“

“How do I begin? Miami is lucky to have a place like this. It truly feels like a portal to Japan. My wife and I dined here on Friday, May 15 at 9PM, and it was hands down one of the best omakase experiences we’ve ever had (and we've had dozens in America and Japan). From the moment we walked in, we were thoroughly impressed and ended the night with one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. If you love sushi, this is absolutely the place to be.

Everything about the restaurant feels intentional and immersive. From the wall art and intimate counter seating to the peaceful Japanese garden in the back, every detail adds to the atmosphere. Even the train passing nearby somehow makes it feel like you’re sitting in a hidden sushi counter in Tokyo. It’s a must-try experience and worth every penny.

The chef was warm, welcoming, and incredibly personable, a truly gracious host who made the evening feel special from start to finish. Watching the chefs work up close highlighted the level of craftsmanship, precision, and attention to detail behind every course served.

One of the things that stood out most was how refined and balanced the entire omakase felt. Every dish showcased restraint and confidence rather than relying on gimmicks. The wagyu beef was the best bite of A5 weve had anywhere. The seafood quality was exceptional across the board. The shrimp nigiri was unbelievably sweet and delicate, the silver-skinned fish had perfect texture and knife work, and the fatty tuna courses completely melted in your mouth. The uni, caviar pairings, and layered flavors throughout the meal felt luxurious without ever becoming overwhelming.

The pacing of the courses was also flawless. The warm dishes, broths, tempura, and composed plates broke up the nigiri beautifully and made the experience feel thoughtful and complete rather than repetitive. Even something as simple as the tamago had remarkable texture and flavor. Every course genuinely felt like edible art 🍣

This is the kind of omakase that reminds you why traditional sushi craftsmanship matters. Elegant, balanced, immersive, and genuinely unforgettable. Easily a top-tier omakase experience and one we cannot wait to return to.

We are Grateful and thankful to have been able to try this restaraunt. Were counting down the days that we can return to Ogawa. A big thank you to the Chef and Staff from the bottom of our hearts. I cant even put it into words how amazing the food here is. Its incredibly exceptional.“

“The best seafood in Palmetto Bay and also the best musical venue. Unique“

“I had an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing: every dish was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and served with care The drinks were equally impressive and complemented the meal perfectly.

A special thank you to Eric, our wonderful server, who truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. His attentiveness, friendly personality, and genuine care made our meal even more enjoyable. Eric provided excellent recommendations, and delivered exceptional customer service with a smile throughout our visit.

I would also like to recognize the manager : Everett, whose presence and leadership make a noticeable difference. He is always visible throughout the restaurant, personally checking on guests and ensuring that every patron is having an enjoyable dining experience. His hands-on approach, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to customer satisfaction create a welcoming atmosphere that keeps guests coming back.

I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning soon.“

“One of the best restaurants in Miami..loved it“

“I am not even Ecuadorian but this is by far my favorite restaurant, visited around 5 times, never unhappy. The food is exceptional, whatever you order you will be specified, we know tried almost everything on the menu. Reservations are very much recommended if you don’t want to wait for dinner, but lunch is not so packed during weekdays. I love love love the food, service and atmosphere! 1000 times recommending!“

“Wonderful food and service!!!! Thank you Nick for waiting on us“

“Yall. I left STUFFED after having this tasting menu from Belly Fish. I’m usually not willing to do tasting menus because of the lack of variety for the price and I usually also leave hungry, but not with this one. The pricing is great and the portions are fat! I got the red miso crab soup, yellowfin tuna tataki & chirashi bowl with everything. If I had ordered that off the normal menu it would have been $57 vs the $49. Save some money and eat great with this bomb tasting menu. The space is gorgeous, we didn’t have to wait for a table and our server was amazing. Ask for Dario when you go in!“

“Su atencion,sus productos y su limpieza“

“Sapore Di Mare in Coconut Grove offers an enchanting dining experience that harmonizes exquisite cuisine with impeccable service and a warm, inviting ambiance. The evening began with a bottle of Montepulciano D'Abruzzo, Gran Sasso. This wine, with its rich, full-bodied flavor and subtle hints of dark fruit, set a perfect tone for the meal. For the main course, the Lasagna al Brasato di Short Ribs e Tartufo was an absolute delight. The layers of tender short ribs, perfectly cooked pasta, and a generous amount of truffle made every bite an orgasmic experience. This dish is a true testament to the chef's skill and creativity. The Ravioli di Ossobuco was another highlight. The ravioli, filled with succulent ossobuco, was served in a delicate sauce that complemented the richness of the filling. The balance of flavors and textures in this dish was impeccable. To conclude the meal, we indulged in the Pastiera Napoletana for dessert. This traditional Neapolitan cake, with its sweet and creamy ricotta filling, was the perfect ending to an exceptional dining experience. The service at Sapore Di Mare was outstanding. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about ensuring a memorable dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant, with its elegant decor and cozy atmosphere, further enhanced the overall enjoyment of the evening. In summary, Sapore Di Mare in Coconut Grove is a must-visit for anyone seeking a top-tier Italian dining experience. From the exquisite food to the exceptional service and delightful ambiance, every aspect of the restaurant exceeds expectations.“
