"Monty’s has a decent raw bar, a great waterfront view, and an owner who people refer to as The Grovefather. You can sit inside, but why do that when you can eat coconut shrimp, drink piña coladas, and watch sailboats float by? There’s almost always a live band playing Jimmy Buffett-adjacent tunes. Whether you arrive on a boat or a rusty old bike, you’ll get the same service, cold beer, and stone crab claws. This place opened in 1969, and Miami Vice even shot a couple of episodes here." - virginia otazo
