bayshoreclubmiami.com Miami restaurant group Grove Bay Hospitality Group has officially opened Bayshore Club, the new waterfront bar and grill located at Regatta Harbour. Located near Dinner Key, where one of Miami’s most beloved outdoor restaurants, Scotty's Landing, once stood, Bayshore Club is one of the few spots in the Grove where guests can overlook Biscayne Bay while sipping on tropical cocktails and indulging in fare created by chef Jeff McInnis. The expansive outdoor restaurant is accessible by both land and sea, offering guests a new way to dock and dine. The 300-seat waterfront restaurant is anchored by a 360-degree bar, part of an open-air space overlooking the marina. Just north of the restaurant, "the lawn" offers private cabanas, lounge seating, game stations, and fire pits. The menu features classic Floribbean-style seafood with tropical Miami influences from a crab causa, local grilled fish tacos, and a two-pound whole fried snapper to raw bar options like the photo-worthy "cocktail cooler," featuring two dozen local blue crab cocktail claws and two dozen local red royal shrimp served with the house Bayshore Club secret sauce in an ice-filled boat cooler. 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
