"We’ll be the first to tell you that Brickell is full of overpriced restaurants that leave both your wallet and stomach empty, but River Oyster Bar is our favorite exception. The portions here are big and reasonably priced (by Brickell standards). We love the crab cakes—they’re the size of Costco muffins and bursting with crab meat. And if the sea scallops a la plancha are on the menu, get them. Food aside, River Oyster is just an uncomplicated restaurant in a very complicated neighborhood. It’s an obvious Brickell favorite, but also one of the best places for a seafood dinner in all of Miami." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
