Catch 10 Seafood Bistro

Description:

• When Henri Levy, a Miami Beach pioneer and developer, built his winter home in the 1920s, he never imagined one day it would be a restaurant. One of only four coral rock homes still standing in Miami Beach, it houses a small seafood place that provides room service to the Wyndham Garden Hotel next door. The decor is a bit commercial, but the pictures depicting the family's everyday activities add a lot of charm. The food is good and prepared with care. Try the crab cakes and vegetable tempura for starters. Enjoy the gumbo with the really good house bread. The pan-fried trout and seafood dish over pasta in light tomato sauce are very good. Fish and chips are a must as is the fried snapper with mango salsa. Seafood is served with an excellent risotto. There is a large selection of beers and you can get them by the pitcher. Of the mixed cocktails, the strawberry daiquiri is the best. The service is very good and the prices are reasonable. This is a welcome addition to an area that is getting pricier. -Mercedes de Marchena
