...my first review. I chose Red Fish Grill for our wedding anniversary celebration. I have visited this restaurant just shy of ten times and I can say that I really like it.\r
I don't believe that the purpose of a restaurant review is to glorify or trash the place, but to point out the strengths and the "next times".\r
The choices were limited but excellent. \r
I thought about ordering some champagne but the prices did not match the quality offered. Not being heavy drinkers, we ordered this time by the glass.\r
I normally don't enjoy dinning outdoors but I wanted to please my wife on this special date. Dining at 6:30 pm, it was still pretty warm, but enjoyable. Beautiful sight of the bay. We did not notice any mosquito activity as mentioned in other reviews, but some flies for a few minutes. Or course, eating outdoors has these consequences. It is not the restaurant's fault.\r
\r
Understanding that this is a place by the sea, the location and the prices call for some more sophistication if we talk about attire. We found the same casual attitude a few times in The Chart House in Coconut Grove. \r
\r
Always taking in consideration price, value and location, I found disappointing that they do not pay much attention to table protocol. I had to use the same knife for my ceviche than for the butter and bread. And the bread arrived at the same time that our appetizers. The butter, by the way, very plain. It is about the details.\r
\r
We were happy with our choices. We took advantage of the Miami Spice offer. I was hesitant to do so because I questioned if service level would be tied to our choice. I can say that we were very satisfied with the service we were provided with.\r
\r
I never visit restaurant restrooms, but I find interesting the fact that they are located outside and shared with the beach going crowd, as other Urbanspoon members have mentioned. \r
\r
This is not a cheap restaurant by any means, but it is fair priced for the service, food quality and ocean view you get. I do find annoying that people at the beach look at you while you are eating but, again, I normally do not enjoy dining outdoors. \r

Ugliest dish I have ever seen: Frisee & Watermelon Salad. Just saying.....
