Seaspice Restaurant Review:

Once warehouse space, this indoor/outdoor riverfront haven is now the place to see and be seen in Miami, especially on Sundays during epic brunch soirees. More bottles are popped than can be counted and everyone looks like a model or celebrity (there might actually be a few present). Besides dining among figurative stars, patrons can dine under literal ones on an expansive riverfront deck. Executive chef Angel Leon focuses on luxe but simple wood oven-cooked dishes, particularly seafood casseroles: prawns with madras curry and Pernod; and PEI mussels in herb sauce with grilled crostini for mopping up the last flavorful drop. To match the decadent atmosphere, there's also pata negra ham croquettes, Wagyu steak tartare, and a black truffle Brie tart for good measure. For dessert, try retro-modern items with some South Florida regional reinvention: orange blossom Pavlova with passion fruit curd. The extensive global wine list includes bottles that pair well with seafood or are fine to drink by themselves.
