Margaritaville - Miami Bayside

"We were here when it opened at 11:00. Our server was fantastic. The food was very good. We had the beach club sandwich x 2 and the finish tacos. The only negative comment was both the club sandwiches came with cold sweet potato waffle fries. They were very flavourful and would have been excellent if they had been hot or warm at least. We didn't eat them. The sandwich itself was huge. 2 people could easily share. The fish tacos were excellent. Loved the sauce as it had a little kick. Would definitely have them again. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't anything offered to us at all for the cold fries. Just a shrug of the shoulder and an "I'm sorry the fries were cold". We had club sodas with our meal one or 2 of those drinks could have been comped since they are probably on a soda gun and inexpensive. The next time we are back in Miami we will give it another try."

"So extremely disappointed. The upstairs was closed and maybe that’s were all the fun was… boring atmosphere. Food was trash. Fish and chips was store bought fish sticks. Exactly the cheap stuff you buy at the store but of course cost about $20. Fish tacos were 99% lettuce and one single strip of “fish” and was also a $20 meal. Service was terrible. It took so long for the waitress to come we had to order drinks and food at once then still waited forever for drinks and food. Was a nearly empty day at lunch time. Edited to add the waitress never gave us refills and disappeared, we waited so long in this empty restaurant that we had to get a bar tender to go find our waitress and even then it took another 10 minutes to come back, no sorry for the wait and when we got the bill back she had added her own tip without saying anything!"

"Stopped in for some drinks before brunch because we are brilliant people...the outdoor seating is abundant and inviting and we were glad we stopped. I had a few frozen blueberry pomegranate margaritas and would definitely recommend one! The star of the show was Alex though! Alex was very attentive and far more polished than most service with just drinks. We all agreed Alex was a highlight and he really made our afternoon! As good as the ambiance on the water and the great cocktails, Alex was my motivation to review today and hope his day was as great as ours!"

"It’s the run of the mill Margaritaville experience. We went to see the Bayside New Years Eve show and decided to eat here to watch the Ferris wheel and take a rest from all the walking. We used the Brightline to get there from Orlando so it was on-foot we went from the train station. If you use the metro mover it’s not a far walk at all. Bayside is a nice park, clean and has a lot of shopping and restaurants. Back to Margaritaville… the seating was nice, there weren’t many people there but it’s a nice waterfront view and right next to the Ferris wheel. The normal American menu is in store (burgers and bar food mostly) which is nice food. It also has a cute souvenir shop on the way out we grabbed a blanket at. Service was a little slow and we lost our server a few times (needed refills, extra sauces and our ticket) but overall wasn’t a bad experience."

"Lots of Margaritaville restaurant/bar locations worldwide, here is the one in downtown Miami, with video... I opted for the frozen variety, which I found out, they premix prior, with several bottles of alcohol, get the core margarita mix done, and simply add your favorite flavor to it when ready to serve... Lots of outside seating with spectacular views of Port Miami... Don't feel like sweating outside? Go upstairs to a HUGE space, with large glass windows, with an even better view... all featured in both pics and videos here... I had a frozen mango margarita (video), and also caught the prep and delivery of an "Its Five 'O Clock Somewhere" drink... looks wicked..."
