good food, but always so packed!

by elopez123

Excellent restaurant called los ranchos, but the parking was kinda on the expensive side. I guess Miami is notorious for that. There was so many different things I wanted to buy that I had to come back again just to get what I wanted. Even now, my wife bothers me about this kiosk there anymore. My wife said that it would be nice if they had a sephora or a make-up counter there that sells that miami style of make-up??? I dunno....just avoid going there with your wife and you might have a chance to hold on to your money!

• Pros: different stores, and affordable in a way
• Cons: parking

Nice outdoor mall

by mntex77

This was an interesting mall as it is mostly outside. It was nice to be able to walk around in the evening and enjoy fresh air. There was live music playing and you can walk around, like on SoBe with your favorite alcoholic beverage too. That always makes shopping easier for the married guys or ones with girlfriends:)

• Pros: outdoors

Enjoy shopping, dining and bayside views at this outdoor downtown mall.

In Short
This waterfront shopping complex is a magnet for Latin American shoppers, tourists and cruise-ship refugees. It's modeled after a village marketplace with lots of kiosks, open-air walkways and vendors hawking everything from sarongs to jewelry. Shopping options include Bath and Body Works, Brookstone, Gap, Disney Store and Nike. Visitors can sit back and watch the boats go by at themed eateries including Hooters, Hard Rock Cafe, Mambo Cafe, Los Ranchos and Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

Expensive Parking, Great View Little Security.

by ginobaggio

Bayside used to be a great place to go to. Now the parking is super expensive, and worst on nights with events in the area. In addition, many stores have closed and there is little to no entertainment. The restaurants are good, specially the latin american cafeteria and los ranchos.

• Pros: hooters, waterviews, variety
• Cons: pricey parking, old and unkept, dirty

Great for Families & Non-SoBe Types

by jim_miami

Great waterfront spot in downtown Miami with a nice mix of shops, restaurants and entertainment. We stopped and got a cold daiquiri, enjoyed some great salsa/samba music (with locals dancing that added more flavor) and all while watching the boats move in/out of the marina. A nice place to escape the "oh so phony" South Beach scene.

• Pros: Great Views, Close to Port, Live Music
• Cons: Can get Crowded
