Diners will have the opportunity to enjoy a final farewell brunch at Acqua this Sunday, July 10th before the restaurant closes on July 14th for a complete transformation. The move makes way for an entirely new restaurant which will be the crown jewel of the hotel’s current multi-million dollar renovation that also includes redesigned guest rooms and resort-inspired enhancements to its pool terrace.
“The new restaurant will be a dynamic destination for the Four Seasons Hotel and Tower and for the community to experience. We are creating a space with a great bar and lively atmosphere that is sure to become a gathering place for Miami residents, Brickell Avenue executives and Hotel guests.” says General Manager Simon Pettigrew. The new restaurant, expected to open late 2011, will feature a contemporary American menu with fresh seafood and prime meats serving as signature items. Diners will enjoy indoor and outdoor dining overlooking the lushly landscaped pool terrace and a bar which will be central to the experience, making it lively gathering spot for locals and guests alike.
Top New York City-based design firm AvroKO, known for its sleek sensibility, has been appointed to create the new restaurant. The firm has received two James Beard Awards for restaurant design for its project for Public in New York. Other notable projects include restaurants Lily & Bloom in Hong Kong, Park Avenue in New York, Lavo in Las Vegas and Bourbon Steak in Scottsdale.
Acqua’s Farewell Sunday Brunch will include many of the features that have made it Miami’s number one, including a whole roasted pig, an expansive raw station and a dessert bar with more than 30 varieties of mini pastries. For reservations please call 305-381-3190. Brunch is served from 11 am to 3 pm and is $70 per person.
Until the new restaurant opens, 14Thirty-Five lounge will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and Bahia, the hotel’s outdoor restaurant, will continue to serve lunch and cocktails throughout the day.
