nestled next to the miami river, near downtown miami, is casablanca seafood bar and grill.(thier fish market is next door) it was a saturday afternoon, when we dropped anchor, not really we arrived by car. boats are welcome to dock here. the restaurant was crowded, we were able to be seated, right away outside. as soon as we sat down, we were given a complimentary small glass of wine. (very good) while we sipped the wine, and perused the menu, milton our server (very attentive) reeled off the specials of the day. a complimentary appetizer of nacho chips and fish dip were placed on the table, this was also very good. carol enjoyed a glass of prosecco( $8.00), while i drank water. there is a blue bottle of chilled water on every table ($4.95) the only sinker was, we were not told the price up front. we ordered the crab cake,($10.49) which comes with a vinegary slaw and corn relish, this was tasty. for the entree i had the special, ($29.95) florida lobster with squid,clams, mussels, scallops and mashed potatoes topped with a red sauce, this was off the hook. carol had the snapper,($19.95) which she enjoyed. we finished the meal with two cafe latte. the food was fresh,service excellent. we had a pleasurable dining experience. see you at the table!! 7/3/10 we visited this restaurant today, and we were asked if we wanted the bottle of water on the table. we are happy this problem was resolved.
