SWIMMING IN SEAFOOD
If youve visited Atlanta, chances are youve dined with Buckhead Life. The restaurant groups expansion south to Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale now counts the brand-new Lobster Bar Sea Grille on the highly visible corner of Fifth Street and Washington Avenue in Miami Beach. They did a great job in carving up the massive space into a main dining room inspired by New Yorks Grand Central Oyster Bar, where even the curved vaulted ceiling is covered in subway tiles, private events spaces, and a bar already packed with South of Fifth residents. Theres a large outdoor terrace, too. Specialties of the house are lobsters done any style, such as rare blues flown in from Nova Scotia and meaty morsels in a tomato lobster marinara over tagliatelle pasta.
