La Dorada is located at 177 Giralda Avenue in Coral Gables and is one of the premier seafood restaurants in the Miami area. La Dorada is an elegant establishment serving seafood with a Spanish flair. They have a beautifully decorated nautical theme and along with the plants and portholes you most likely will find someone at the piano. The ambiance is breathtaking and exotic.

I love eating fresh succulent seafood dishes, and these restaurants are making seafood into something mind-blowing and completely all their own. There is really no way to describe their unique and delectable culinary style but to say that any one of these restaurants are outstanding in their own right.
