MIAMI, January 6, 2025 – Ke-uH, the elegant Japanese restaurant at Acqualina Resort & Residences, has undergone a significant redesign, masterfully blending the authenticity of Japanese aesthetics with contemporary sophistication and American elegance. The redesign was led by Italian design group Cristiano Gatto Design who transformed the space into a serene yet sophisticated dining environment that transitions seamlessly from day to night.
During daylight, the restaurant's large windows introduce bright, natural light, highlighting the tranquil setting ideal for a gourmet breakfast. As night falls, the ambiance shifts to a more intimate setting, with soft, dimmable lighting that enhances the dining experience, making it perfect for peaceful dinners or social gatherings.
The redesign introduces elements such as vibrant red drapes, which add warmth and a touch of traditional Japanese color symbolism to the space. Each table is designed to balance privacy with openness, fostering a versatile dining experience suitable for various occasions. The innovative lighting concept allows for adjustable light settings, ensuring the ambiance can be tailored to match the time of day or the mood of an event.
Adding to the ambiance is a strategically placed Bonsai tree in the main dining room, embodying tranquility and meticulous attention to detail—hallmarks of both the restaurant's cuisine and its design philosophy. The lounge area has been reimagined as a romantic, secluded oasis, with drapery that provides exclusivity and a soft, piano bar-like atmosphere that preserves privacy while inviting relaxation.
The new Ke-uH is an experience engaging all senses with its stunning design and exceptional cuisine, reflecting Acqualina’s dedication to providing an unmatched luxury experience.
The menu at Ke-uH features tapas and shareable plates with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Chefs at Ke-uH make everything from pizza crust to ponzu sauce, yuzu soy, truffle flavors and aioli from personal recipes to accompany sushi and non-Japanese menu items include baby back ribs, sliders and Kurobuta pork belly, plus vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
Ke-uH is open for dinner Sunday through Thursday from 5:30pm to 10pm and Friday and Saturday from 5:30pm to 11pm. Ke-uH Bar is open from 5:30pm to 10:30pm and Friday and Saturday from 5:30pm to 11pm.
