GrillFish Miami Beach

GrillFish

Garlic laden local fresh fish is the mainstay of GrillFish, the neighborhood seafood eatery and bar. Seafood pasta da friavolo for two is a must-try. Shrimp scampi is out of this world. The enormous gay orgy-of-the-gods mural hasn’t offended anyone yet, and this easygoing joint is actually popular with local boys and girls, breeders or otherwise.

The price is always right, and the laid-back service is both efficient and proficient. An enormous bar which spans the entire length of the restaurant always dons more than a couple of couples who opted to share their dinner conversations with a gregarious bartender. The clamorous noise level can be deafening, but it’s nice to find a beach enclave where it doesn’t matter who you know, what your financial profile looks like, or if the dock-siders you bought in ’82 really are "out."

Review:  My wife and I just visited South Beach. I found this restaurant on this website. What a pleasure. Marcio was our waiter, he could not have been more helpful. His recommendations were on the money. The ginger calamari was outstanding and the fish was grilled to perfection. Most fish I order out these days is always overdone. Ask for Marcio he is from Brazil. If it wasn't our last night we would have been back.

Review:  Great food and service.  The fish (particularly mahi mahi) is the best on the beach. I've revisited this restaurant several times and always had a great experience.  Just wish they took reservations!

Review:  Staff was efficient & friendly & even gave us recommendations on things to do while in town.  Shrimp scampi was fantastic.  The calamari was nice & tender (I find calamari to be a little rubbery at other restaurants).

Review:  We had GrillFish delivered to our hotel room several times during our last visit and overall it was great. Only once did they mess-up our order. The Steamed Clams in Garlic & Wine became Spicy Clams in Garlic Tomato, but even that was good. Tried the Wahoo and also the Swordfish, both were outstanding.
