Garcia Seafood Grille & Fish, Miami

hungry for seafood and we found this restaurant.good prices.excellent food.we love it!

Garcia is really good place to eat food on the river. They give you free fish dip and people really nice. The food was really really good.

A great restaurant and excellent service. We were there last week for dinner and were told about Garcia's by a local over in South Beach. We had a great meal and the appetizers were wonderful. Cannot wait to come back next year!! Prices are good also for you cheap eaters...lol

Sorry, but this was not a good restaurant. I ordered yellow rice, sweet plantatians and whole yellow tail fried. My husband ordered the jumbo fried shrimp. The shrimp was not even small, they were tiny. My rice was nice and cold. The waiter didn't even tell us the specials. My son had chicken nuggets for 12 dollars. He ate none of it. He told me 'Mom, never back to this restaurant!

I LOVE Garcia's! The food is great. I had the best grouper sandwich with a wonderful view of the river. I love sitting outside on those wooden tables and I also love sitting upstairs when it's too hot. I have always had great service and friendly people help me when I go there. Their soups are tasty, love the ceviche, and there is nothing like the ambiance. It feels like you are out of town. I have also had the pleasure of arriving by boat and that is always a lot of fun.

OMG! This is Miami's little secret but with extrodinary taste. Just moved here but my husband was born here and I felt like having Florida Lobster. He took me to have Florida Lobster at Garcia's. I just didn't know I was having ahhh...THE GREATEST FLORIDA LOBSTER DISH EVER!!!...It was a special, "Lobster, Shrimp, and Scallops Creole. I was sucking the juice off my fingers it was so good. I have been to many restaurants and my husband and I like to explore. And I have to say. The best I ever had!

By the time we found Garcia's I needed a drink. I loved seating myself but didn't go with my first instinct... to sit at the older waiter's section. Our waiter wasn't warm or exciting.He never asked how we were doing? Or did we enjoyed our meal. It was our first time and would have loved to be told about the specials and MO of the place. First, three small containers were dropped off, that looked like a sponge to clean one's fingers. It was a nice, crab slaw that went with the basket saltines that sat on each table. Our calamari app. was dropped off with no utensils. Then, before we can dig in, our entrees arrived. We asked our waiter for our flatware and waited (seems like hours)two to four mins. when he brought our sides and had to remind him again. The food was ok, the grilling process used made the fish a little dry(overcooked). Also, it sat under the warming light and at the table waiting for utensils!!! We had "Willie" and Salmon with Tamarind sauce... not very creative, or with theme winning presentation. Pricing was fair for seafood. We sat on the patio, wery rustic and cozy and gets filty with saltine wrappers and napkins blowing. As a matter of time passing, you can slide the wrappers in the crevices of the table to prevent them from flying away. Also, old crumbs were in the crevices. I will have to go back when next in town before I pass final judgement. But it seems to be a nice place with locals. Ah!yes,at the end of our meal, as a bus boy came down the ramp to the seating area, all the basins, filled with plates came crashing down.

GREAT PLACE. SERVICE AND FOOD...AND CAN GO WRONG WITH THEIR PRICES...I AM FROM NYC AND THIS PLACE HAS FRESH FISH RIGHT OFF THE BOAT..EVERYTIME I AM IN MIAMI I AM THERE FOR LUNCH OR DINNER. THANKS TO MY FRIEND WHO TOOK ME THERE THE FIRST TIME

This place is awesome! I've been going there for years and try to go at least once a week. The prices are great for the quality and freshness of the food. If you're a local the prices are great, I have no idea why some other comments would say it's overpriced, HELLO it's seafood, in Miami. And it's great seafood at that. The food is really good, I've never ordered something that I didn't like. The Dolphin sandwich is really good with a side of their seasoned fries. The upstairs area is really nice, plasma TV's and a real touch of old Cuba. Mojitos for $9 is not expensive at all, that't the average price every where else and they are tasty.

I have been a regular customer for over 10 years and have never been disappointed. They have always had the freshest seafood and the best service. This family owner and operated business is one of the best I have ever visited, it is no surprise why they have been around for sooo long. I always recomend them to all of my friends and family!
