Great happy hour specials . Discounted drinks, half-price East and West Coast oysters , and a small food menu with delicious duck tacos and oyster buns .

Sofia Case

Incredible Happy Hour deals and wide variety of oysters . Order a platter with all the available types and then choose your favorites (mine are Beach Point and Blue Point ????????) for a second round.

Eater

A seasonal menu packs 'em in nightly, especially during happy hour when working stiffs, foodies and hipsters flock here to indulge in the freshest oysters south of the Puget Sound. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

FOOD. OYSTERS. COCKTAILS. Try Green Mile (I think), it was easy, fresh and dangerous, super tasty. Food is amazing: mussels in coconut milk ; oysters (must try!!!); cheesecake is delicious.

L. Q.

The menu had 8 different types of oysters , which was great for tasting. The kebab was tasty — I only had the bar menu available at the time I arrived, but the overall experience was good.

Cristina Bonilla

I'd definitely suggest the gnocchi with blue crab and truffle , the passion fruit sorbet is delightful as well . Waiter sucked, he thought he was above it, and stuffy patrons. Food is delish overall!

Lindsey Ling

The food and the service were awesome. The ceviche was so flavorful and the yuca dipping sauce was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. Definitely try this place out!

JamiMiami

Great happy hour . Oysters are half-price. If you like oysters , order the coromandel oysters and you will not go wrong. Also the Sicilian sliders are a meal.

David Eads

The tip on the mushroom flatbread is dead on - order it! Plus the grilled oysters w Manchego are the best thing I've eaten in a while. Omg. Lastly the grilled octopus is really good.

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Delicious food - oysters , salmon with an amazing green sauce and a to die for pannacotta. Great service too.

Summer Izkovich

My favorite bartenders Manny & Sean. I used to live next door and everyone should always get their 3 course for lunch ($20). Happy Hour is great but y'all better go early!

Sara Mogollón

Any of the seafood ! The whole Branzino is to die for. Gnocchi and crab , and the squid ink spaghetti . Don’t forget to get a ton of oysters !!

Virginia

While the unlimited mimosa deal at brunch is tempting, the What's Up Doc (ginger , carrot juice , orange juice , and gin ) is where it's at. Plus, you'll only need two to get the job done.

Epicurious

The upscale tavern setting makes it a comfortable place to go with the family, and it is priced like a real neighborhood joint; it'll almost never cost more than $50 a person. Read more

Mody Suarez

This place is a must!!!! Oysters are fresh and a large variety of them. The food here is great especially the gnocchi & blue crab . Happy hour is the best 1/2$

Jacobo Gómez

Nice happy hour by the river and brickell city centre

Olga Romashevskaya

The gem! Every dish is really great! Always fresh oysters and friendly stuff .

Patrick Curley

Excellent seafood for lunch or dinner . Their lunch special is one of the best in Brickell.

The River opened downtown in 2003, but because of the wear-and-tear of constant business, it looks as though it's always been there. Read more

Alexis Bendjouia

Crab cakes 100%. MUST. Tuna tartar was nothing special, calamari great. Chocolate mousse cake excellent.

DAYANA ARIAS

EVERYTHING is delicious here! The ceviche , the blue crab gnocchi is a must! The oysters !!! Loved this place.

Elisa

Pretty basic place, lots of dishes with truffle and tuna tartare . Standard. Get Stone crab if in season, since the pricing is quite reasonable compared to other spots.

Linds Ellis

Ribs , Mac & Cheese , truffle flat bread = to die for. Not impressed w/ the hostess & bartenders during Art Basel, seemed like they didn’t have time for us, not friendly . Our server was great though!

Marc S

Great selection of oysters : around a dozen tonight, from PEI, MA, RI, and WA. Recommended.

Nelson V. Guevara

An outstanding service , great variety of different clams and oysters for different tastes. Great seafood !

René LePaul

Delish! Loved the Brussel sprouts , the tuna and the crab cakes . Nice atmosphere and great central location.

Alexander L

Oysters : Moon shoal - large and juicy; Little skookum - very small but very tasty; Hama Hama - the best.

LOUIS AGUIRRE

Excellent! Excellent! From the ocean right to your plate. Fresh, organic , & delicious. The toffee cake is the perfect ending to a truly delicious meal.

Gabriela Lucas

Unfortunately they did not have the so famous Gnocchi . The mushroom flatbread was good, the tuna tartar and bacalao croquettes was OK. Make sure you call before if you are coming for the Gnocchi .

Ekaterina Skorobogatova

Very American but probably the best seafood place in Miami

Dylan Marsh

I am madly in love with this place. Music , staff and food all great. Try the special - I had rabbit sausage and it was excellent.

Sarah Dunn

Great happy hour deals ! All of the food is amazing

Valerie Kosenko

Such a big variety of oysters here. Must visit in Miami!

Epicurious

Local foodies love this upscale tavern not only for the oysters but also for the beef , lamb , and seafood dishes . Fine wines and specialty beers are also a major draw.

The Feast

With half-priced oysters during Happy Hour , it's definitely a great spot to check out for drinks and fresh seafood . Other offerings include a seafood paella , lobster pot pie and bacon-wrapped shrimp .

Erin Fitzgerald

Miami's hidden gem for amazing local and organic cuisine; the Blue Tip oysters from the LI Sound simply cannot be beat!

Анечка Безлепкина

Come here during the happy hour and u can get double amount of oysters ,cas the price from 3$ for piece goes to only 1.50$ ????????

Ezgi Tekin

Magnificent taste, helpful and perfect environment… worth to try; give a shot

Alejandra Marquez

Love the Oysters and the Shiitake Flatbread is a must... Yummy!

Allen Alvarez

Tina Tartar , Thai Ribs , Mushroom Flatbread , Short Rib Tacos , Steamed Pork Buns , Fire Roasted Oysters , Meatball Sliders , and Bacon Wrapped Shrimp .

Mari Thielen

Delicious oysters , ceviche and yuka fries !!!

miamism

When it comes to Oysters , I'm usually a Kumamoto fan but you need to try Coromandels from New Zealand!! Yummm

Tasting Table

If you're looking for a little heat, the clams casino ($6) or fire-roasted oysters ($11) will hit the hot spot. Read more

Do whatever Edwin says! Oysters divine! Blackened redfish wonderful! Blueberry mash awesome! The best!

Service is hot and cold - We've gotten better service at the bar than at a table. Food is good and so ate the oysters ... Be ready to wait
