Our Rating: A-

Located in the heart of downtown Miami, Garcia’s Seafood Grille & Fish Market is a wonderful, casual place to go to for moms who love the open ocean and seafood. After a long day at the beach, your family can wind down at Garcia’s and enjoy their signature fish dip and famous key lime pie. Although a bit on the pricy side, Garcia’s has a little bit of everything, even for non–seafood lovers.
“I’ve heard that Garcia’s has really good seafood; but my mom loves Mrs. Mac’s Kitchen in Key Largo. She loves seafood; it’s not too pricy and we love it there,” senior Grant Bradish said.

“We don’t go out to eat; we always have a BBQ. […] The day before we always go shopping for whatever we want. My dad gives my mom an unlimited shopping limit, so you can guess she buys whatever she wants. It’s her thing. She works hard all year long and she deserves it,” junior Amanda Lopez said.
What ever you end up doing, make it special for mom! Even if she doesn’t like crowded restaurants, that’s okay; just celebrate the day before or the following week. We don’t need a special day to acknowledge how much we love our mothers!
