The Whet Palette

Italian fine-dining. Michelin caliber. The real deal. Located inside the new Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, the marriage of Italys Amalfi Coast and South Florida is a match made in seashore heaven. Meant to be an outpost of Italys Michelin-starred La Sponda Restaurant, this is Le Sirenuses first project away from Positano, Italy. The entrance to the hotel appeared a bit hidden at first, but its splendor revealed itself as I got closer. I stopped to catch my breath once I entered the lobby. Vaulted wooden ceilings with exotic accents blended from one space to the next. Along the way, a palette of blues and greens emerged, and a parade of tropical palms of all types framed the bar and dining room seating areas. Im fully aware Miami doesnt have a shortage of gorgeous venues and restaurants, but this one is truly breathtaking. Our party of four sat in one of the corner booths, surrounded by palms and enveloped by the luxe upholstery. It took me a couple of additional minutes to take in the beautiful surroundings before I paid any attention to the menu. To start, our waiter presented a single dainty pasta crisp per person as the official welcome bite, while we perused the wine and dinner menus. He then passionately explained the nightly specials and menu highlights. We considered bringing in our wine ($60 corkage fee), but ultimately decided to order a hard to find and old Italian favorite off their list: iL Pollenza- Tolentino, Italy. The charismatic sommelier visited our table often throughout the night, offering insight as needed. An endless stream of staff worked tirelessly clearing out dishes and bringing out new silverware and glasses. I cant think of many Miami restaurants that serve three amuse bouches, a palate cleanser, and parting mignardises in one sitting. Color me happy. A couple of managers visited the table as well to ensure everything was running smoothly and to our liking. The answer was always YES! Perfetto! HIGHLIGHTS: Choosing a favorite dish is hard. The silky and rich Tartare di Manzo e Uovo Confit (beef tartare, egg yolk confit, and Grana Padano reduction) appetizer disappeared almost instantly. Simply irresistible. For my pasta course, I knew I had to try the Spaghettone Pomodoro e Basilico; so simple, yet satisfying and captivating when done correctly. I can only compare it to Scarpettas, but dare I say it...this one is better. Not to be left behind, the Fagottello Genovese (stuffed with house-made Genovese beef ragu, mozzarella reduction, and black truffle) impressed me as well. Not surprisingly, we ordered seconds of both dishes on the spot. For such a talkative group, there seemed to be long moments of silence once both meat courses arrived. Justifyingly so, our full attention went to the dishes presented. Plated beautifully, the Tagliata di Wagyu e Insalatina di Stagione (Wagyu NY strip, vegetable salad and shaved Parmigiano) and the Costolette dAgnello ai Frutti di Bosco su Gnocco di Semola (lamb chops, semolina gnocco, lamb jus, and berries) were both cooked to perfection with the ingredients hitting all the right notes. The staff never stopped doting on us from beginning to end and ultimately delivered an outstanding experience. I cant rave enough about it all. Has Le Sirenuse really been open for only a couple of months? It sure didnt feel like it. While most of the time South Floridians steer away from formal dining and prefer a more casual feel, theres something to be said about a seamlessly executed three-hour dinner experience: one that exemplifies grace, poise, and the pride that comes from a job well done, despite the ritzy environs and elegant vibe. More importantly, one thats available right here in Miami. Not in New York. Not in San Francisco. Not in Chicago. Congratulations to Chef de Cuisine Antonio Mermolia, Executive Chef Jose Gamez and the entire team for successfully bringing this project to fruition. Its obvious you love what you do. The arrival of Le Sirenuse is a game-changer.

A restaurant (/ˈrɛstərənt/ or /ˈrɛstərɒnt/; French: [ʀɛs.to.ʁɑ̃]), or an eatery, is a business which prepares and serves food and drinks to customers in exchange for money. Meals are generally served and eaten on the premises, but many restaurants also offer take-out and food delivery services, and some offer only take-out and delivery. Restaurants vary greatly in appearance and offerings, including a wide variety of cuisines and service models ranging from inexpensive fast food restaurants and cafeterias to mid-priced family restaurants, to high-priced luxury establishments. In Western countries, most mid- to high-range restaurants serve alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine and light beer. Some restaurants serve all the major meals, such as breakfast, lunch, and dinner (e.g., major fast food chains, diners, hotel restaurants, and airport restaurants). Other restaurants may only serve a single meal (e.g., a pancake house may only serve breakfast) or they may serve two meals (e.g., lunch and dinner) or even a kids meal.

Wouldnt recommend this place to go and aply since they call me to go and work for a try out. IT was weird they never asked me to sign any paper to work on that day. It was nice i was hopping to stay but then I received a letter saying I was not accepted. It was fine with me but I was never paid for 10 hours that I worked. Went there to asked and Daniela Otto from human resources made me wait for 2 hours without an answer. CHEF JOSE GAMEZ. Worked personally with me and sous chef Antonio Maldonado were happy my job that night. Dont know what the problem was. Im still not getting paid for the day. NOT A FOUR SEASONS STANDARD!

Staff let’s the champagne flow and pours a perfect martini in the bar. Historic Surf Club setting, grand in scale, delights your senses. Unparalleled service. However, in comparison, the original restaurant is in a different category all together.

Ambiance is what makes the experience grand. Staff is very professional and courteous. Food is high quality, very tasty, and just the right size main portions. Good value. You wont be disappointed. Bon appetito...

Stephan Soilleux

Great decor and atmosphere. Attentive staff. Apetizers are superiors to the entrees in my view.

Would never recommend it. Portions are small, no changes. Foods not great.

If you can not be in Positano this is the place to be outstanding.
