LandShark Bar & Grill - Miami Bayside

Our experience was exceptionally disappointing, warranting a rating below one star. Visiting on a Sunday to watch football, we encountered a dismissive server, Shonda, who appeared disheveled and uninformed in appearance and knowledge of the menu. Manager Jay's response was similarly inadequate. With only five patrons, our cold food and lack of attention were noteworthy. Upon reporting our concerns to Jay, he offered no apology, merely a $7 discount on our $109 bill, with unclear reasoning. We left hungry and unsatisfied and only then understood why there were only 5 tables occupied at this huge waterfront restaurant in downtown Miami.

Location location location. The food at best wad average. The service I think they had a bad night ? I actually had to tap the server on the shoulder in an almost empty restaurant and ask him if we could order. However if you want typical bar food with cold beers a great view and kick ass TVs this is your joint.

We stopped by this location to have couple drinks. The mango daiquiri was not good, came with no garnishes of pineapple nor cherry. Bil has gratuity, tourists tax and regular tax. Probably wont visit again

I cannot base on my review on the food since I didn't have any, just the service and drinks. I sat at the bar and a nice bartender came over and asked for my drink order. I got the watermelon matador. It is a cocktail with watermelon Red Bull in it and I needed some caffeine. She brought me the drink and asked if I wanted food. I mentioned I was just drinking and just really needed something with caffeine in it. then she offered to give me the whole can. i am sure she probably doesn't make too many of these so having the can open is probably a waste. Really nice bartender. I was sitting there enjoying my cocktail and people watching when a group of extremely rowdy children came in and were screaming, running around the bar area by the cornhole, and jumping on chairs. I was so happy once they were seated in the dining area and not screaming near me when yet another crew of people and their loud wild children came in. One of the mother's came over and was getting a little rude with the bartender even though she hadn't done anything wrong. Seems like she was frustrated from her unruly kids running around. I finished my drink and left based on the ongoing atmosphere. Not the restaurants fault but I didn't want to listen to the screaming any longer.

Henry was really nice and gave us excellent service. Also told us about how we can have the burgers or fish and chips dipped in the wing sauce!! AMAZING. Will be back. And the Oreo shake is delicioussss

(Late review from October - November 2022) A good spot for lunch in Miami. The view of the harbor is pleasant with the large outdoor patio. The customer service from our server (forgot her name but she was very sweet) was first rate. The fish tacos I got were yummy, but in retrospect I would have rather it was served with fries instead of tortilla chips but that's not a big deal. The fish tacos themselves were well portioned and filling for lunch.

The only thing this place has going for them is the view! I ordered a spicy margarita. It was not good at all. It was very watered down. There were four of us and we did not like any of the food we ordered. Besides the shrimp cocktail appetizer, but I mean, how can you mess that up?! Tried the Poké bowl which was not good because the rice was hard. The fish tacos were dry and the fish was overcooked and tasteless. The coconut shrimp was just okay. I would definitely not return here. And if I do, it's gonna be to order a bottle of beer while enjoying the view and go eat somewhere else.

Classic bayfront bar with nice views of the water. You'll be next to people boarding tour boats, so it can be a little noisy but good people watching. We went at 1:30pm on Easter Sunday and the place was empty. A lot of the reviews said the service was slow and I assumed we wouldn't witness that since we were some of the only people there, but I was wrong. It took a super long time to get our order taken and to get our waiter to come back after our food was dropped.We got the shrimp tacos which were fine, and the fish and chips which was super fishy. I've never had fried fish that tasted so fishy. They were very kind and replaced it for me and I got a caesar salad with shrimp which was good. Overall, the experience was fine. The food was fine. The service was fine. Typical bayfront experience.

My teenage son and I were hungry after our exhilarating Thriller speedboat tour. We decided to try out this Jimmy Buffet-owned restaurant. It is quaint decorated with colorful surfboards, photos of Jimmy Buffet and unusual quotes like, "No Shirt? No Shoes? No Problem!". It has a nice view of the harbor and port. We each had the fish and chips with a small side salad. We shared the chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream. The fish was crispy. The chocolate lava cake was delicious. Portions are very generous. Our server was Shonda, a polite, friendly and helpful lady.

I gave a 2 star because service was friendly and it has a great view. The food, however, was not just not up to the mark, it was truly disappointing. Crab cakes were way over-seasoned. They were burnt, not blackened. They had a good amount of crab in them, but were nearly inedible. The beans that came with them were so salty, they compared only to a time when we made veggies per a recipe and added a quarter cup of salt vs a quarter teaspoon - so much so it felt like it burned. One can only hope it was a mistake and simply unnoticed! The tuna poke bowl was edible, but almost soupy in dressing and the tuna was all stuck together so each piece had to be cut separately. The onion rings were stale, lukewarm, and chewy. Then you pay $19 for a small plastic Dixie cup of Chardonnay (a bottle that retails for $14 at Total Wine). At least give me a real glass for that price? Would I go back, even if they gave us a gift card to cover our three meals and wine? There are so many great places, I would honestly have to be assured the experience would be significantly different, not just for me but for other guests as well.
