Rare cruisin73 Posted June 19 #1 Share Posted June 19 We are staying at the Marriott Biscayne bay and we are looking for a waterfront restaurant in Miami. Thinking about going to Biscayne bay marketplace but open to other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_BJ Posted June 19 #3 Share Posted June 19 (edited) people are often surprised to learn that Miami isn't really 'water front'. By Biscayne Bay marketplace I'm guessing you mean Bayside? Ugh ..... all tourist junk as bad as Pier 39 in San Fran which a local will never visit ..... If you've never been to Miami b4 then go CUBAN ..... from your hotel an UBER to Versailles should run around $20 and this is good Cuban food. BETTER is just across the street tho, La Carreta. V is kind up scale and 'famous' with one location. La C' has several locations around the city and is where Miamians go!!! I'm told all owned by same family. https://www.lacarreta.com/ Edited June 19 by Capt_BJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted June 19 #4 Share Posted June 19 @Capt_BJ, I think you meant Pier 39 in SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted June 19 #5 Share Posted June 19 (edited) TU .. fat finger and for the record I did live in the San Fran area for a couple of years and there are some good places to eat in the Fisherman's Wharf area, but P39 specifically is ugh, as I would say about most in Bayside.

Agree. Some of the best seafood in SF is in the Fisherman's Wharf area, just not on Pier 39. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sddsddean Posted June 20 #9 Share Posted June 20 Was in Miami in April. Bayside is not cheap! Went to Margeritaville and a plate of Jambalya (which was very average) and one lot of fish and chips (which was 4 small bits of fish) with no drinks ('cos we had water) was $58! (including compulsory 20% tip!). You might as well stop in the hotel!! Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
