Restaurant · Key Biscayne, Florida
Boater's Grill
How to book: walk-in — a casual in-park institution; go with your Bill Baggs visit (lunch after the lighthouse/ beach). Expect waits on peak weekends and holidays. The play: an open-air table over No Name Harbor, Cuban seafood + sangria, boats and mangroves as the setting. Remember park entry to reach it.
Best meal: A relaxed lunch or early dinner over No Name Harbor — traditional Cuban fare + fresh seafood (paella, Florida lobster) and pitchers of sangria in the mangroves; the boats-and-water scene is the point. Confirm the current menu/hours on site.
Who it’s NOT for: fine-dining seekers wanting a formal room (this is open-air casual) anyone unwilling to pay park entry to reach it diners wanting a beach/skyline view (it faces the mangrove harbor not the ocean) travelers on a tight schedule at peak times (waits happen)
