Lighthouse Cafe Key Biscayne, Key Biscayne

Back in the 1800s, No Name Harbor welcomed families of egrets and herons to its fish-filled waters. Things haven't changed too much since then, though humans now join the birds in their feasting, having established a dinner spot of their own in Boater's Grill.

The name isn't a misnomer—you can arrive to the grill by boat as easily as you can by car or dolphin-back. Its tables sit on the rounded cusp of the harbor, supporting food that matches the backdrop.

Appetizers of housemade ceviche and smoked-fish spreads lead into seafood entrees, including seafood paella, grilled Florida lobster topped with shrimp, and Cuban-style steak. Fried fish can be ordered in their entirety, ranging in size from medium to extra-jumbo. As for dessert, there's a family flan recipe and sweet slices of housemade guava cheesecake.
