Miami Bayside Marketplace - First Night In Miami - Dinner Recommendations

[Johnamac123]

I'd appreciate any suggestions for my first night pre-cruise. Staying at the POM Holiday Inn. Open to anything, as long as food is awesome ;)

I think dinner at ToroToro in the Intercontinental Hotel will meet your requirements.

Nothing really special at the Bayside Marketplace. Hotel will be better probably.

Bayside is all chains and would not be my first recommendations. They know they have the tourist market cornered and none of the places have to try because most people that are there are not repeat customers.

 

There are so many places that are within a close radius of your hotel. What kind of price range are you looking for as that would help give some recommendations!

We have so many choices around here and so many different ranges in menu price. And so many great restaurants.

You will love it. If you have never had Florida Stone crabs, they are amazing there. Great happy hour every night from and live music.

Stone crab appy, a salad and the grouper pontchartrain sounds amazing.... Thanks again.

Trulucks is a very good choice, right next to my office building. It is a chain, but a small one. I always enjoy my meals there.

 

 

Another one of my favorites in Downtown and very close to the Holiday Inn is Pollo Y Jarras. A bit more casual than Trulucks.
