Great Place to eat dinner in downtown Miami

[cruisekwazee]

We will be staying at the Courtyard Marriott in Downtown Miami and would like to know a good place to eat in the area. Not dress up but a casual dress place. We like all kinds of food so open to all suggestions. Also a place within walking distance. Thanks!!:D

But unless you want to cab to somewhere, like SoBe, probably your best bet is to walk down to Bayside Marketplace. Everything there is pretty casual. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from CM mostly through the park. Scout around and see what looks most interesting. I thought the area was fairly safe and well lit. Personally, I shy away from the Bubba Gump Shrimp, Chilis, Hooters and other chains. Also understand Hambuergesa isn't as good as it smells. But there are plenty of small places with outside seating if the weather is nice.
