In Short
It feels like a Florida Keys seafood shack plunked down in the gritty heart of industrial Miami. The best seats are outside at tables fronting the Miami River or the bar built around a large banyan tree. With cars clattering across a nearby drawbridge, tugboats hauling in ships, MetroRail cars zooming overhead and airplanes blasting through the sky, the place literally reverberates with urban energy. Crab cakes are arguably the best in town.

It started well with the tuna tar tar, then we ordered a grilled seafood - what we were hoping was a feast - for two ($62). It was bad, dry, a little smelly, and the only decent thing on the platter was a small piece of grilled tuna. Flavorless calamare, tasteless salmon, rubbery prawn, and disgusting Florida and Maine lobster. A little ambitious and really awful. It was served with grilled vegetables - great potato and three strips of ok zuchini. Save your money.

Big Fish 2000 has a very large selection of fresh fish. I ordered the swordfish, and it was probably the best swordfish I had ever had. Though the prices were a bit high, the food was well worth every cent. Very friendly waitress, very nicely decorated. I highly recommend.

I was just there tonight (Wednesday) with my girlfriend and I can't remember the last time I was so badly serviced in a restaurant. Where to start? The hostess had this pessimistic and serious attitude as if we had sinned because we didn't have reservations (the place was two thirds empty). After she gave us a table, it took a long time before the hostess came to pick up the menus, and no waiter had approached us yet. We told her this and after our patience ran out, the manager came to take our orders. A good 20 minutes passed before the manager himself started waiting on us. What was worse is that other Italian guests were being serviced promptly and a lot more courteously than us (We are young well-dressed college-educated Cuban-Americans, just in case you wonder). I hadn't felt so abandoned in a restaurant before. There was a clear preferential treatment with a couple of tables (all Italians) around us who had arrived after us and received their food and everything else way before us. The food was not impressive, I can name at least three seafood places that are obviously better than this: Rusty Pelican, Captain's Tavern and Grillfish. The only upside to this day is that they knew how bad a service they had given us and deducted 25% off our bill and crossed out the tip section. This is not nearly enough to make me go back to this sad place.

What to Drink:
The wine list is composed mostly of Italian wines, whose light, clean, crisp style nicely complements the subtle flavors of seafood. A fine example is the faintly floral, lemony 1998 Zamo Tocai Fruilano ($39).
