Restaurants in Miami

While Joe's Stone Crab started the stone crab claw phenomenon it is way overpriced. The last time I was there it was $21.00 for 5 claws and that was February 1990, so I can't tell how much more unreasonable they are now.

The stone crab claws come from the Florida Keys and it is about $10.00 for 8 claws. Take a ride to paradise (Key Largo or Islamorada) and enjoy the real thing for much less financial damage.

: Also, while I haven't encountered it (when I ate at Joe's it was just : before the fresh stone crabs came in so it wasn't busy), apparently the : maitre'd is the sort who doesn't seat you unless you grease his palm (ie : pay him for a table).  Even John Mariani, the Prodigy restaurant writer who : loves the food there, doesn't recommend them anymore because of this.

Try Garcia's on NW North River Drive. Fish market/rest combination. Best (safer) to go for lunch and sit outside by the river. They close at 7 pm anyway.
