The Lobster Shack
The Lobster Shack has two locations, on Lincoln Road and South Pointe. Both locations have outdoor patio dining, perfect for people watching. At the South Pointe location, servers even come out to the beach and take your order and deliver it right to your chair, blanket, or towel! As the name implies, The Lobster Shack is known for serving all things seafood, but if you go don’t miss the classic lobster roll.
Nikki Beach Club
A South Beach staple, Nikki Beach Club has been coveted for its swanky (and massive) outdoor dining area for more than 20 years. Located on Ocean Drive directly on the beach, the outdoor seating area spans from the patio to the beach and features tables, chaises, cabanas, day beds, and even teepees! If you go, don’t miss the signature sushi boats meant for sharing.
Santorini by Georgios
Located at the Hilton Bentley Miami South Beach, Santorini By Georgios offers outdoor patio and poolside dining featuring gorgeous views just steps from the beach. The restaurant’s beautiful design is inspired by the island of Santorini and serves up authentic Greek food, including fresh seafood, grilled meats, and handcrafted cocktails. If you go, don’t miss the oven-roasted lamb or whole branzino.
The Front Porch Cafe
A favorite of locals looking for “good food with no attitude,” The Front Porch Cafe has been serving up delicious, no-fuss American fare and all-day breakfast for more than 30 years. Located on Ocean Drive, the restaurant’s outdoor patio dining has long been a favorite spot for people watching. While The Porch serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, they’re best known for their breakfast menu. If you go, don’t miss the french toast!
