"Excellent views, and usually a great breeze. Worth going to even if you're not interested in the art museum (which I don't recommend unless the featured exhibit is particularly interesting)."
"Make sure to go to the new butterfly building, which is great for kids (and adults). The in-garden Cafe is tasty, with nice outdoor seating."
"Haven't been, but the view is supposed to be terrific. As frequently happens with places with a view, you're paying for the view, not the food, so only go if you're in the Grove for another reason."
"Tasty ceviche if you're in Coconut Grove for some reason (like the Barnacle). Not worth going out of your way to the Grove just for this."
"Many sources recommend Vizcaya. It's interesting, and beautiful, but there are late-gilded age mansions all over the country. So I recommend The Barnacle as a more 'only in Miami' experience."
"Many hotels recommend Vizcaya. It's interesting, and beautiful, and it is *in* Miami. But there are late-gilded age mansions in many places, so I recommend The Barnacle as a more Miami experience."
