Best Waterfront Restaurants in Miami Shores

Came here for opening night, I was excited to hear that Kygo opened a new hotel and restaurant and wanted to check it out because I just so happened to be in Miami. Prior to arrival I had tried to call to inquire about parking, but the line was either busy or no one answered. Upon arrival we were greeted with a breathtaking view on the waterfront overlooking Miami Beach. Our server was friendly and struck up conversation. We ordered the lobster sliders with caviar, crab cake (highly recommended by the server and for good reason!), fish tacos, and ceviche. The crab cake was certainly the highlight of our meal. I give the atmosphere 5 stars because the views were just absolutely spectacular. Service I give a 4.5 because the phone lines weren’t answered, otherwise for opening night the service staff was informed and gave great suggestions, albeit with minor moments where they were unsure about certain things. Food is also a 4.5; the crab cakes were the best thing we tried, the lobster rolls were decent although I expected more, the fish tacos were amazing too, and the ceviche was excellent, but for the price that we paid, I expected a little more value from the dishes. Overall, the experience is still absolutely memorable and if I were in Miami more often I would definitely make this place a regular visit. Five stars in total.

We had a lovely night. The ambience was beautiful and the food was good. The service was good but it wasn’t on the level that a restaurant of this quality and price range should have. It wasn’t unfriendly, but it was impersonal, quick and pedestrian. Starting with the hostess, all through the service you didn’t feel Pampered and spoiled. You just felt like another customer in a busy place without the friendly personal touch. This would make me think twice about coming back or recommending the place to high end friends. My friends who are used to personal top class service, not chain restaurant feel. Otherwise we loved our night.

Our waiter, Grant, was so personable and helpful!! Food was delicious !!! Had nice table near the water
