Meaning ebb and flow of the tides in Italian and Spanish, La Marea is a refreshing addition to South Beach’s dining scene. One of distinguished interior designer Kelly Wearstler’s masterpieces, La Marea’s lushly landscaped entry terrace with intimate al-fresco lounging and dining spaces is the Ocean Drive hot spot to enjoy intuitive service and innovative culinary experiences. The diverse menu, conceived by Sous Chef Luis Moreno, celebrates the diversity in America with refreshingly eclectic dishes that also portray a global sensibility, prepared simply and elegantly. As a palate teaser, diners can opt for the Short Rib Empanadas, braised short rib salpicon, habanero chutney and red pepper remoulade sauce. Seafood lovers should not overlook the Pan Seared Tides Grouper with Spanish Rice, roasted plum tomato basil salsa with a Saffron beurre blanc sauce.
"What a disappointment. When I got there, I was told that LaMarea does not exist anymore and that the restaurant is just called the Tides. The food was mediocre. My lobster ravioli tasted like it came out of a can. The only good part was the outdoor seating, which affords great people-watching on Ocean Ave."

"This was a big disappointment. The last time we went it was great, but this time the service was poor and the quality of food, just all right, and for prices that I thought were high."

"We were on vacation when we arrived at the restaurant but no one else was there, so we left - it just seemed awkward and not festive to be alone in a restaurant. Also, they had a woman standing outside (like a carnival barker) trying to entice people to come in. It was so tacky and a real turn off."
