Besides scrawling belligerent insults on the sides of submarines, eating seafood by the sea is the only way to assert dominance over ocean life. Show a smug lobster who's boss with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of upscale seafood and more at Nikki Beach Miami restaurant on Miami Beach.

Beachfront dining and an expansive assortment of culinary delights create a commodious yet casual atmosphere as Nikki Beach sates eclectic appetites with a menu of fresh sushi, pizza, steaks, and more. An array of raw seafood, caviar, and succulent appetizer selections such as cornmeal-crusted calamari ($15) complement cocktails and sun-worshiping sessions, and gourmet pizzas created by Italian dough-diviner Enrico Sautto, such as the rocket and rocchetta pizza bubbling with rocchetta cheese and prosciutto crudo beneath fresh arugula, olive oil, and shaved parmesan ($16), satisfy followers of the latest circular-food diet craze.

Like the Samurai cowboys prevalent in American history, dry-rubbed salmon filet takes on an Asian aura with a southern flair in the hoisin barbeque salmon paired with asian slaw and cornbread ($23). Taste buds reeling from savory bliss will receive a final gratifying blow with a decadent dessert, such as the coconut-ginger crème brûlée ($9).

Sand-planted diners can enjoy edible adventures either in the bamboo-lined dining space or while stretching out in an array of beachside cabanas and lounge beds, which allow for full food and VIP bottle service. Sundays treat breakfast buffs to a broad brunch selection with multitudes of belgian waffles, omelettes, sushi, carved meats, and more ($42.95 per person), making for excellent Sunday outings with friends, family, or surrealists working in primarily edible mediums.

• Staple venue on the Miami nightlife scene with amazing parties especially Sundays and during WMC / Ultra week! Other than great events and DJ's this venue offers great food and the best mojito I have ever drank in my life! Enjoy :-) – AMOROSO S., Yelp, 3/1/11
• I loved the fact that it was on the beach which was rare for the bars in Miami. – Dawn B., Yelp, 1/30/11
