Monty's Stone Crab/Seafood House
300 Alton Rd.
(South Beach)
tel.: 305/673-3444
Location: South Beach
Cuisine: Seafood
Price Category: Very Expensive

This restaurant is the antithesis of South Beach trendiness, with scrappy wood floors and a very casual raw bar set outside around a large swimming pool. The best deal in town is still the all-you-can-eat stone crabs--about $40 for the large ones and $35 for the mediums. That's about the same price that Joe's, located 2 blocks away, charges for just three or four claws. (But don't order stone crabs in summer--they aren't as fresh.) Enjoy the incredible views and off-season fish specialties, including the Maryland she-crab soup, rich and creamy without too much thickener. Beware of Friday nights, when the happy-hour crowds convene around (and sometimes in) the pool for postwork revelry.

Main courses $20-$40.Open: Sun-Thurs 5:30-11pm, Fri-Sat 5:30pm-midnight.Reservations recommended.Credit Cards: AE, DC, MC, V.
