Tarpon Bend - Miami

I was quite impressed with the overall experience at Tarpon Bend. The food was excellent and the service was great. The restaurant is clean and has a comfortable atmosphere, not too pretentious.

The atmosphere is very nice, but I wish they would invest more in the quality of their food. On par with chain restaurants like Fridays.

Great atmosphere and the best quality seafood that I’ve found in Coral Gables. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and subtle but stylish decor.

This restaurant was recommended by a co-worker but I was not too impressed. I ordered the rosemary lemon chicken without the mashed potatoes, due to being on the Akins Diet. The potatoes were substituted with seasonal vegetables which consisted of carrots and rutabaga and I think ;potato ; wedges. Although the chicken was certainly very tasty, the vegetables were very dry and had a peculiar taste. That was all there was to eat and the cost of $14.95 for that meal seemed like Highway robbery. There should have been more to eat for that kind of money. I won 't be recommending Tarpon Bend to any of my co-workers! I felt the entire menu (particularly for lunch) was quite steep! We would have gotten a better meal at Christy 's for the same price!
