Amazing! My first time there. From the drinks to the food. Everything was so yummy. Seafood paella was delicious and huge. Our waiter was Maher. He was great and very attentive. We will be back again. Thank you

I can only provide a review on the few things we tried… as we walked down the strip the hostess lured us in by telling us they have an awesome drink special and she would give us 2 shots free a piece. Well after taking a table and actually waiting a while for the waiter to come the special was buy one drink get one free($ 40). The two shots we had to beg for them to bring to the table. We ordered mozzarella sticks, shrimp, and pizza all of the food was great and we enjoyed the experience just not the customer service. For charging a 20% gratuity you would think the service would be exceptional but it was everything but that. However the drinks are on point I would definitely suggest sharing and not drinking an entire one by yourself(lesson learned)

Worst service, fish bowl hardly had any liquor in it, oysters were terrible I told them to take them back and still tried to charge me and the crab legs were very small.

We came a little after noon on a Monday in March. Diana, the hostess promised us 30% off seafood, pasta, chicken and meat to convince us to come eat. First server came up to us was pretty rude. We asked for waters and said we needed more time and he just walked away. Second server came a few minutes later, we asked for water and got in a little later. (At the end, they gave us check without discount… We told server Diana promised us 30% off our food and they did come back with the discount on our check) Their drink«specials» were 2 for 1… 32oz cocktails were $ 25 each and 60oz were $ 35. We decided not to order any drinks since the service was just so poor. We ordered the seafood pasta. None of the seafood was edible. The scallops were overlooked, the shrimp was the tiny kind you buy frozen at the grocery store, and the shellfish were sandy, dirty, and tasted completely off. even the cherry tomatoes were clearly not fresh. The sauce was pretty sickening and greasy too. The other three of us ordered the farfale pasta which had salmon, asparagus cherry tomatoes with a vodka sauce. One substituted the salmon with chicken and she seemed to like it. The salmon just did not taste good and had a weird slippery texture. I frequently eat salmon and this was some of the worst. As most places on Ocean Drive, they have a 20% service fee added, therefore it appears the servers could not care less about us and the service they were providing. Not even sure if anyone ever even made eye contact with any of us. I always give restaurants and servers the benefit of the doubt– I understand dealing with people can get old very fast, so I always try to go out of my way to be extra polite, kind and thankful to those serving me. But this place was pretty horrible. I definitely would not recommend. Wish we would have read the reviews before sitting down. The chairs were very comfy and view was nice– that is the only positive to this place.

I guess everyone has their own experience. Yes it’s expensive but it’s south beach expect to br ripped off anywhere you eat or drink on ocean drive. My friends and I came this past Sunday and had the best waitor named jason. We were in town celebrating her b day and he even gave us two rounds of free shots. The Margarita drink is strong and the lobster ravioli and surf and turf was the bomb. Also enjoyed smoking the hookah. The turn up was so real here. Had a blast!

It was a terrible restaurant ! I called with them more than 10times to get my money back ! But I still haven’t ! What happen was that when I visit there, they charged me twice from my card. So I called them and talked to 5 different guys. The manager was so rude to me and he didn’t care about it at all. I am positive that they intend to did so. I don’t want to give them even one star !! Because of it, my trip was ruined and they made my trip total disaster.

Guacamole and chips was not fresh, definitely pre-made. Server saw I didn’t eat the guac and still would not comp them. Was told upon arrival everything would be 20% off, upon receiving the check this was an issue. Server also never checked up on us. Overall: food is mediocre, service the same. Would not recommend this place! Only up side was we liked the music they played.

Average is the best way to describe this place. It’s above a Denny’s but there is no wow factor. The service was good, the food. … I had the Energy Breakfast. The egg mixture was.. meh. The chicken, a little rubbery, the roasted potatoes, unseasoned. The drinks were low in alcohol, for their size. The hostess, though attractive, had daisy dukes on that provided your breakfast with a side of @$$. This place is a quick in and out along ocean view, but don’t expect it to be a ‘OMG, come again,’ place.

Unilocal Nation, repeat after me… «OCEANDRIVEISFORBREAKFASTONLY» Now that we have that out of the way, on to the review. Anyone that has read more than one of my reviews knows that the depth of my hatred of South Beach knows no limit. One of the few things I actually like about South Beach is breakfast on Ocean Drive. Most of the douches are still sleeping off the excesses of the previous hours and things are peaceful and relaxing. You can sit and enjoy a view of Lummus park before things get clogged with irritants in human form. Nearly every one of the normally overpriced tourist trap restaurants offers some sort of breakfast deal, and for the most part, breakfast is really hard to screw up. Sea Café’s breakfast deal is $ 5.75 for a small selection of savory and sweet items. I went yesterday with Larry S. and we ordered the egg special(2 eggs any way, potatoes and either sausage or bacon) and the french toast with maple syrup and bananas. Other selections were pancakes with strawberries and two different types of omelettes(meat and veggie). The food arrived fairly quickly and we dug in. The french toast was perfect — 2 thick slices of bread cut in half, crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside. The«maple syrup» came in a plastic package labeled«table syrup», but hey, what do you expect for $ 5.75? The eggs were perfectly over-easy and came with a rasher of crispy bacon. The potatoes were plentiful and seasoned well. We did use napkins to handle the salt, pepper and ketchup after Larry S. visited the bathroom and reported back on its condition! Including tax and the auto tip, we left full for around $ 15 after enjoying prime real estate on Ocean Drive!

Ordered 2 Miami Vices, one non-alcoholic. The first round came back with too much strawberry syrup(meaning it wasn’t a true Miami vice. Just a pins colada with daiquiri syrup). We ordered a margarita pizza which came out to us in less than 5 minutes. It was basically a round cracker with sauce and cheese. The drinks do not have prices on the menu. The non-alcoholic drink came to $ 24 and the standard was $ 40. The drink are gigantic full of useless sugary calories. Our bill ended up coming to approx $ 90, including tip. We felt so cheated. I would suggest that you skip this place and go a few blocks up to Fat Tuesday’s.

I’m so shocked this place has such bad reviews. Good thing we didn’t check Unilocal before we went here! 2 for 1 drinks right on ocean drive. It’s perfect! The drinks are delicious and the vibes are amazing! It’s exactly what we were looking for.

Chicken wings are horrible, horrendous. Refried, 20 times maybe. Fries were ok. Location is good. Linguini primera was a disaster. Tiramisu was surprisingly good though.

Don’t. Do. It. The half off special drew my girl friend and I in and unfortunately we didn’t check out the Unilocal reviews. What a bunch of bull this place was… I ordered the skirt steak and when it came m, it was the NY strip. I briefly debated what I ordered with the waitress before she finally took it back and brought out the right order. Mashed potatoes — most likely from a box Rice and beans — see above. My girl friend barely could get any meat out of the lobster tail. The steak was really small and chewy. The bill for this was 108. Seriously though, waste your money anywhere else.

DONOTEATHERE! If I could give them NEGATIVE stars, I would. They are so sketch. We came here with a party of 8. They got our attention because they said $ 45 for 2 fishbowls. Their fishbowl is okay, tbh. It’s just big. Becareful of their menu. We saw a picture of their«Hot Platter» and just assumed it was going to be priced normally around $ 20-$ 40 for an appetizer selection. WEDIDNTSEETHEPRICEUNTILTHEBILLCAMEFOR $ 105 for just a few items. So not worth it by the way. A basic cheeseburger for $ 13.50. Should’ve just gone to McDonald’s for the quality of a burger. Our table split our checks and they still charged a service charge of $ 31 on EACHCHECK! I’ve never been more ripped off in my life. Just because we’re tourists from Cali it doesn’t mean you can eff us over.

People who take their talents to South Beach should probably stop by Sea Café to bae watch. Yes, Bae Watch. Girls walk around like they be allergic to clothing and I’m really not complaining. It’s like Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition in three dimensions… but some of the South Beach girls may not have had hit the gym that hard… which is okay because we celebrate all body types!(And besides, Drake likes his girls BBW #Only) It’s difficult not to stare, I know. But you don’t wanna be known as the South Beach creep, so you gotta be smart about it. Here are 3 easy ways to hide your inner creep. 1. Stare, but always in the direction of the very nice and attentive waitress. That way, if a girl notices you staring, you can pretend to be looking for the waitress.(FYI: The waitress is an eye candy herself, so beware if you have diabetes) 2. Grab your gigantic $ 40 cocktail and always have the straw by your lips. You might not know it, but that’s the«pondering about life» look. So you may actually be a creeper, but you’ll just appear to be a philosophical philosopher. 3. There’s a cigar-selling bae with a rack(teehee)of cigar in front of her. She is ummm how should i say it… very physically endowed and often comes by to ask your party if you would like to purchase some smokes. I’m not a smoker myself, but that rack of cigar is right below her ummmmmmm mammary glands. So I’ll still take some time to browse her selection of smokes yadada? But what if you’re a lady at Sea Café and you’re not attracted to girls in skimpy bikinis? Well, can you count to six? You can play this game where you look at the abdominal section of every guy’s body and start counting up to 6. You might get hit a dud and get a beer belly sometimes, but bonus points if you can count to 8 on a single body.(FYI: hella bonus points) There’s also an unofficial gun show going on. They probably thought the 2nd amendment gave them the right to ‘bare’ arms because everybody is sleeveless and/or shirtless. To get the best view, look for guys who are talking on their phones. With a phone is on your ear, you arm is at a perfect angle for that bicep showcase. But remember to wipe your drool because you’re a lady after all. So remember to come to Sea Café to bae watch. Sure it’s expensive and sure it’s a tourist trap. But when all the people with rock hard abs and sexy bikinis are there too, it’s not such a bad idea to be caught in the same net.

This was the biggest waste of $ 200EVER! The«Fish Grill 105» on my receipt was a seafood platter which I shared with another person. It was to have double of everything: snow crab legs(4), mahi mahi(2), shrimp skewers(2), lobster tails(2) and a salad. This dish was $ 105. And it was DISGUSTING! The snow crab legs tastes bad. There was a horrible aftertaste. I can only describe it as expired seafood. Instead of 2 mahi mahi there was one along with a salmon. The mahi mahi was extremely dry! Like, just a brick of a piece of fish. The lobster tails were small to begin with and to top it off, there was some sort of white filler-type substance along the bottom of the meat which was totally unexpected and nasty. This was to make the tail to appear larger than it was. So, not only did it look small, but it was actually even smaller than it looked! I did not try the salmon. The salad was okay. The Fish Bowl drink I ordered was the Miami Vice. Another item that was shared. $ 40 and neither of us even had a buzz. We came to the conclusion that there was no alcohol included in that drink. The fried calamari was okay. There was a mouse on the patio which some of the guys that worked there ran away and down the alley. I complained about the mahi mahi and asked if something could be taken off my check and the server told me he could have given me another piece had I told him before he came to collect our plates. However, while we were eating he never came to check on us. And there was an entire piece of fish left. I only took one bite of it. There was an automatic tip of 19% added to my check. I would have tipped this guy about 10% or less. The service and food were subpar. And for that, I paid an additional $ 30. The server did give our table complimentary shots of Patron. And that almost made me feel not so bad about the horrible food. I mean. The server didn’t prepare it. But then I saw him give the guys at the table next to us a free round of shots as well.(We weren’t special and he prob could care less that our experience there was so crappy.) I wanted to visit one of Michael Mina’s restaurants in The Fontainebleau. Absolutely should have stuck with that idea. Keep away from Sea Café.

Friday afternoon, noticed the happy hour special: By one get one free! A huge margarita glass with 2 Corona’s was $ 45.00 but it wasn’t too bad because we were getting another one for free! And one of these things alone is enough for 2 people! I must say I didn’t think the drinks were strong at all!!! But the waiter kept coming by and checking in on us and I finally mentioned something about there being no alcohol in the Margarita. She came back with what appeared to be 3 – 4 shots of tequila in a glass so we could add it to our drinks. Finally walked out with a gooood buzz and was grateful for the good customer service! Bill total: $ 60.00
