A waterfront seafood institution on the Rickenbacker Causeway with a postcard view of the downtown Miami skyline across Biscayne Bay, long the go-to for proms, anniversaries, and sunset cocktails. Come for the view and the raw bar, stone crab in season, and the weekend brunch buffet. The honest caveat: you're paying a premium for the setting, so treat the food as good-not-transcendent and reserve a window or patio table at golden hour.
