Editorial Review for Tarpon Bend Raw Bar & Grill – by Rick Munarriz
In Short
Unlike its rowdier sibling in Fort Lauderdale, this 2005 addition to downtown Coral Gables places the emphasis more on casual dining than bar-side hedonism. A laid-back crowd is the norm despite its ritzy surroundings, with hungry patrons digging into catch-of-the-day sandwiches and platters, which come blackened, jerked, grilled or fried. The only fish in this restaurant that aren't still-flipping fresh are the mounted marlins on the walls.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkIf you want a potent beverage that is unique to the Gables' location, try the Miracle Mile Mojito. It gives the leafy rum drink a new spin with a raspberry kick.
Know Before You GoLive entertainment may be a staple at the original Broward location, but not in Coral Gables.

Everything I've ordered here has been amazing. Highly recommended for the crab cakes. The bar also whips up some tasty drink creations or they have a good selection of beer. Parking is of course a problem (like everywhere else on miracle mile) but it's worth it and they are open pretty late on the weekends.

Now you know 2 for 1 always leads to a good time!! I have not tried the food at Tarpon Bend as of yet, but I will say they put on one heck of a good Happy Hour!! I love my Mojitos, and I will admit I am a huge snob on what I consider a good drink, (as all Connoisseurs should be.) One bartender made a very good drink, and one of the other gals did not. In conversation with the first gentleman I mentioned he made a better drink, and not only did he swap out the glass in front of me free of charge (and without a formal request I might add) but he made sure to personally serve my entire party for the rest of the night!! Excellent customer service on his part. I only wish I had thought to get his name!!
Pros: Great drinks, great value--fun but not too fancy atmosphere
Cons: Very crowded even very early
