Garcia’s Seafood is one of Miami’s best known seafood restaurants. They have their own fleet of fishing boats, thus ensuring the freshest seafood possible. In addition to a spacious waterfront dining experience, they have a seafood market where you can purchase some of their fresh catches and enjoy them in the privacy of your home.
The restaurant is family-owned and has been in business for over 20 years. There are plenty of dining areas available in this 2-story building, including an outdoor terrace overlooking the Miami River. Even on a warm Miami day, you can enjoy fresh breezes and a peaceful view of the river.
The décor on the terrace is rustic with a fishing theme throughout. Inside is a bit more nautical in nature. The terrace has an expansive mural of Biscayne Bay and the sea life that abounds within it, with the Miami skyline in the distance.
I ordered the pan-seared tuna with the tropical ginger sauce. The sauce was sweet with a hint of tangy and the tuna was prepared perfectly. I like my tuna almost raw, and they got it just right. My husband ordered the snapper and shrimp with tequila and pepper sauce. The sauce and the snapper was a bit more creamy and rich but very good, nonetheless.
The meal was delicious but even more enjoyable because of the setting. The staff was exceptional, everyone was friendly and helpful.
I recommend visiting this Miami landmark and enjoying a fresh seafood meal!
