Seaspice - Miami

King Crab

No. This place is not a 3.5 star place. Absolutely NOT. It is 5-star. Sorry but I am QUITE familiar with the Miami food/brunch/nightlife/you get the picture/ "scene". I lived in Miami for 5 years and believe me, I have done and seen it all when it comes to dining or going "out" in Miami/Miami Beach.

This place has changed the game.

First of all, it's in the middle of legit NOWHERE. Taking a taxi there was shocking as when we pulled up I was sure that it was not the right address. We were reassured that it was by the velvet rope and bouncer at the door. Ahh, of course. It wouldn't be a "scene" type of restaurant without those two elements.

We made reservations like a week or two in advance and they easily accommodated 2 additional guests that we had joining us. We did have to wait about 30 minutes but we were on this big plush bed so we didn't mind waiting at all.

I absolutely love the decor and VIEW. Yes, it's not of the greatest water ever, but it's still better than what restaurants are in existence today in Miami. It's still a unique view. Yes douchey men will pull up on yachts which makes no sense because the dock isn't even big enough for most of them and it just looks so out of character compared to the other restaurants and empty warehouses in the area. I'd say if you are thinking of boating here, don't do it. It looks tacky and douchey. This isn't the south of France, it's downtown Miami.

I digress. Anyways, we were all starving so we ordered immediately. We ordered the king crab, the pasta with king crab, and the risotto. The best out of the 3 was the king crab in itself. The worst out of the 3 was the risotto (but it still wasn't bad). Service? Terrible.

Forget the food, forget the terrible service, let's talk about the ambiance! Suuuure you came to Seaspice for the food (uhhhh no?) Yes, the food is good. I will give them that, but, the real attraction of this restaurant is the brunch scene. 

This
Place
Gets
Wild.

You will likely see celebrities (okay maybe just some real housewives ones but whatever, I'm trying to explain the ambiance) and really old guys with really young girls. Hey, it's Miami! Don't be surprised. You will see every type of plastic surgery job that is in existence and girls dressed to the 9's for a simple brunch. Again, it's Miami.

The bar scene is pretty busy in itself but people also dance at their tables and the whole place is just a party. So it's not bad if you can't get a reservation and you just go for drinks at the bar.

There will likely be someone playing the bongos and getting the party started and there will definitely be a DJ playing some really great music. The music was a mix of everything. 

We
Had
A
Ball.

+Make reservations for outside because the inside doesn't get as wild (unless you want to be more tame, then I would suggest to sit inside)
+Make reservations far in advance and go with more than just 2 people
+Stop hating on this place and just know what you are expecting when you go there!!!!! This place is really awesome.
