Enjoy the laid-back outdoor seating and savor some of the best seafood in Miami Beach!

Saturday, July 20: Dinner at Costa Med

Join us in Costa Med in Key Biscayne for a heartwarming and unforgettable dining experience. This cozy Mediterranean bistro serves up charming vibes, divine cuisine, and service that feels like a hug from an old friend. Seafood steals the show here, with the freshest local catch gracing your table. Kick off your meal with the acclaimed lobster ravioli, filled with 100 percent claw meat and smothered in the creamiest lobster sauce. Then, our suggestion is to share the butterflied Greek-style branzino which comes grilled with salt, pepper, and oregano—simple perfection that allows the freshness of the fish to truly shine. All you need is the perfect drink pairing to elevate your sublime Saturday night dinner, and luckily Costa Med boasts the finest wine collection in Key Biscayne.
