No Name Harbor

This location is beautiful! Entrance to the park is either by boat or car $ 8 or $ 2 by bike or barefoot. The restaurant is pretty much busy all day on the weekends with a waiting line but the location is awesome, the food delicious and the service is quick once seated as they want turnover. Place is well worth a try! I like it, I like it a lot.

EITHER EAT BEFORE GOING IN THE PARK, OR BRING YOUR OWN FOOD.
The harbor is fine, but that restaurant… please.
So we get to this place around 5pm and there is a sign that says «wait to be seated». There are two guys in front of us that were already waiting when we were parking. After 10 minutes of nobody even asking us how many we were, I go ahead and ask the guys in front of me if somebody told them how long was the wait. They said that nobody ever showed up.
Waiters were passing by us just walking around, bored, looking around, not doing much. There were only 2 waiters out of the at least 5 that were actually delivering a table (and the table wasn’t very happy with the service either)
There were at least 6 usable tables for us to sit, some upstairs, some downstairs, but nobody ever bothered on cleaning them.
10 minutes later, a family with a newborn shows up and we let them go first so they can sit and take care of the baby. Nobody ever asked them either. The mom went up to one of the waiters and asked if there will be a table available soon, she answered with a shoulder shrug.
At that point we figured out they didn’t want any of us there, and that they don’t care or won’t ever care since there are only two restaurants in the park and both are owned by the same company, so since there is no other place to go, they have the whole share of customers even with a TERRIBLE service, well, no service at all.
As we were leaving the family that got their food delivered started leaving their table because apparently after waiting for 1h, their food was cold.
We went to the other restaurant, where nobody asked us what we wanted either, until one of the waiters saw us leaving the table without ordering and begged us to sit again so he could take care of us. We didn’t.
Such a pity that those amazing locations are not being taken care of. I guess that if people don’t care and they keep making money, this won’t ever change.
I almost feel like not going back to the park either, brings back bad memories.

No, please people, the service and food here sucks! I always had mixed feelings about this place but we keep coming because is one of few places in Miami were you can go with your boat, dock have breakfast or lunch.
We arrived at 1015am on Sunday, and I left at 1100AM without my food. We came in for breakfast, and we ordered café con leche and a toast with 2 eggs and ham. The server brought us the coffee in plastic cup so we asked him if he could serve it in ceramic cups. He said to us that usually the ceramic cups are chipped and in a very BAD mood he went back to the kitchen and brought them in ceramic cups, by now the coffee was cold. After 20 minutes we asked the server what happened with the toast and he said that the order was been taking care in the kitchen, after 35 minutes we notice a very angry table of four very upset with the server and the manager because their order never arrived to their table. At that time I told my wife, let’s cancel the order and leave, but she said that by now she was more hungry than before so after 45 minutes the server brings the order of toast, 2 eggs and ham. He left on the table and left, no i“m sorry for the wait, no nothing. Because I was looking to him from my table he came back and with an attitude he ask me, is everything ok? Of course I was very upset and I told him that I was really surprised that nobody including him had a nice word of apology. Since they felt they were right, I was wrong, we got into an argument about the poor service and bad customer service they offer there. After arguing a little more I told the server that I want it to complained to the manager or owner, he came and by now I was blowing steam off my ears. i told him exactly the same thing, how upset I was of their bad service and poor customer service, we never got a formal apologies or explanation why it took them 45 minutes for a toast, eggs and ham. We got the check and they didn’t had the decency of at least discounted the coffee.
This place sucks all the way!!!
They have a cuban mafia monopoly there and they just feel they can do what ever they want with their clientele! Well I don“t think so, I will tell everybody I can about my poor experience in this poorly run place.

If you’re onto boating, No Name harbor is a great place to put in. If space is available you can dock along the perimeter of the harbor free of charge. You aren’t allowed to remain docked overnight, but you can anchor in the bay area of no name, again at no charge.
The entrance is well marked, around 9 foot of depth, and chances are pretty good that you’ll see a dolphin or two. As it is a part of Crandon Park, you can enjoy one of the nearby restaurants or any of the many other facilities of the park.
On the down side, it sort of has the best of Miami, being the weather, warm water and scenery. But, it also has some of the worst of Miami, as it attracts a good number of weekend warriors, outboard cowboys, loud, obnoxious party people, drunks, and those who love staying up late at night on their boats playing excessively loud rap and hip hop music. Also, things can really take a turn for the worse when one of the drunks takes over the helm, doesn’t look where he is going or hot rods into or out of the harbor. As it is a small harbor, you also run the risk of one these loud party groups anchoring next to you, or if you can believe this, wanting to raft up to your boat or, as happened to me, wanted to dive off the top of my boat.
I’m giving it a four stars for being a really nice harbor, but in all honesty if I would take the crowd it often attracts on busy weekends into consideration, it might end up a one star.

Amazing place to dock your boat!!!
Be courteous when anchoring and keep peace with the fellow sailors!
You feel like you are lost on a deserted island and I wouldn’t want it any other way!

Wow this place is amazing. We went in a huge sail boat on a cold weekend to stay the night. It was super windy so it was tough to find a spot to anchor. I’m assuming this place is always packed, but be careful on bright, sunny days; then the rude people with their huge boats come flying through trying to find a spot to anchor.
After anchoring, dingy to Boater’s Grill for dinner and dancing or spend the weekend fishing on the other side of the park. That weekend fishing was not good at all, but I can imagine it being amazing on a warm summer morning.
We will definitely be back. If not by boat, by car to fish the day away. :)

This is, I guess, a part of Bill Baggs — but as a fan of No Name Harbor — I felt that it must have it’s own review. It deserves it’s own review because — most of you that write about Baggs are coming from the road — No Name is something that one must experience approaching from boat. We usually take the trip from the end of the Venetian — not too far — but you have some idle speed in there. Upon arriving you have an awesome sand bar to your left– that when its low tide is a great place to anchor and do some swimming. You can usually spot a dolphin or two en route as well :) On your right is the ever picturesque Stiltsville — that is a must see by boat for anyone. Then you cut left before the end of the peninsula — and you’re greeted by a variety of boats anchored and docked — people playing music (but nothing like Monument Island) and just a quintessential picture of a perfect Miami Boat day. It’s a great place to meet up with other boater’s and tie up — you can bring your own lunch — eat on the boat or sprawl out on the lawn or have a waiter bring you a whole fried snapper and some d-​licious black beans and rice from the grill at the end of the dock. The water flows in and out of there really nicely — so no one hesitates to swim around while their docked. It’s just the place to go on the boat — where you still feel surrounded by nature — and also have some amenities just in case :)
