After arriving at the beach I saw two chairs and an umbrella but no attendant. I scanned the QR code on the chair and was able to easily rent them for the day. When the umbrella wouldn't stay up I text them and an attendant was there within 5 minutes to fix it and set me up. Later I ordered food for delivery and it came quickly. Not very adventurous today but a Mexican grilled cheese on a very freshly made tortilla with pico de gallo was just enough for a quick beach lunch. Don't think I've ever had pico that tasted that fresh. And the strawberry daiquiri and frozen lemonade were both really good as well. Very refreshing!!! And when I asked to add a water they told me the server had already left but they would have him bring one back to me right away! Great service a foot and reasonable prices considering it was delivered to me at my beach chair! Lily, the general manger, clearly knows what she is doing!!!
Menu is on the more expensive side and the portions are kind of small which is a con but I think the perfect location is a factor in the price. I got the steak/beef tacos and they were great! I also got the Miami Vice as a drink which was ok. Right on the beach and had games with lots of places to sit. Super cute!
Lovely spot to grab snacks and drinks at the beach. While we were waiting to rent a two-seater bike, we grabbed some food. I ordered a hot dog and piña colada which were both delicious. The hubby ordered shrimp tacos which were around $15. The tacos tasted fresh and the sauce inside hit the spot. However, it didn't taste like it was worth the amount. The piña colada was super smooth and refreshing. There was enough alcohol in it but it didn't taste of straight rum. Customer service was super friendly. My entire drink fell due to the wind and the cafe replaced it with another full drink. Score! It was $25 to rent a bike for an hour which was a pretty good deal. We were able to bike the short trail on the beach and then made our way to the botanical garden which was beautiful. It's truly an exercise so the hour ride is well worth it.
This is a great place right on the beach. It makes the beach. Plenty of games to play and keep you entertained. Drinks are very reasonably priced. We had a fun time. Next time I am at Key Biscayne I will visit for sure.
My friend and I visited Crandon Beach before his Miami departure. The day was cloudy, like a typical Miami summer day... but then it cleared. Right before leaving we found Openseas Cafe. Yummy provided a phenomenal service. We sat at the bar, I had a mojito and my friend had a piña colada. I noticed they make plantain chips right in there, how do I know? I saw the plantain peels. I will be back to give them a try. Overall, solid experience!
