Few experiences are more classically “Acqualina” than dining with friends and family surrounded by the “Great” green lawn, the bright red umbrellas, and the swaying palm trees framing our iconic Mediterranean-style resort. Coupled with impeccable service, Acqualina offers the best waterfront, al fresco dining in South Florida, period.
At the outdoor Costa Grill, the lunch menu is infused with Mediterranean and Floridian influences that are rivaled only by the panoramic views. Just inside at Il Mulino New York, gourmet Italian fare is prepared in an elegant, authentic setting that evokes the feeling of a classic Italian steakhouse.
Meanwhile, the tapas style restaurant, Ke-uH, features Japanese fusion cuisine served in a modern setting with eclectic dishes like crispy tuna tacos, salmon pizzas, and a “Bonzai Truffle” roll with avocado and cucumber wrapped in green soy paper. And last, but certainly not least, Acqualina’s newest restaurant, Avra Miami, is only a short walk away from the resort through a dedicated sky bridge adjacent where guests can experience the tastes of Greece on Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 5 pm to 10 pm, and Thursday through Saturday from 5 pm to 11 pm.
This Thanksgiving, Il Mulino will also be offering a very special multi-course Thanksgiving menu, including such traditional delicacies like homemade pumpkin ravioli, walnut and sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes, fresh cranberry sauce, pumpkin cheesecake for dessert, and, of course, organic roast turkey. If you don’t want the turkey making you tired, Ke-uH and Avra Miami will also be serving their regular menus for Thanksgiving dinner, while the Costa Grill will be serving lunch by the beach as usual.
