Beaker & Gray
2637 N Miami AveGreat place close by from the apt. Good cocktails and yummy food!
Off the beaten path, this fish restaurant has been family run for ages. Cheaper than most other fish restaurants, this is a laid back, low key spot where the specials tend to be the best daily catch items for a fairly good price!
