Summer Dining at the Setai Hotel | Summer in the City

setai1.jpgA few years ago, when locals heard there were plans to build a luxury high rise that would feature multi-million dollar penthouse apartments and thousand-dollar-a-night hotel rooms on Miami Beach, there were more than a few skeptics. Now South Beach has hostels and hotels and super-deluxe accommodations and sells them all out on a regular basis.

The Setai hotel truly sets the standard for upscale resort amenities on South Beach. Unfortunately, many locals and visitors experience sticker shock when they add up the cost of a full Setai vacation. Our Summer in the City offer today may just fit your travel budget - the Setai’s Executive Chef Jonathan Wright has crafted a four-course “mix and match” Summer Tasting Menu with a fixed price of $55.

Guests are invited to experience the restaurant’s renowned international cuisine starting with a choice of dim sum, noodles and salads such as the warm grilled Thai beef salad, the wild mushroom salad with Japanese buckwheat soba noodles, or tender chicken sautéed in coconut milk and served with galangal, kaffir, lime leaf and oyster mushrooms.

Entrees include a choice of cinnamon rubbed salmon, BBQ Kurobuta pork with five spices or Cantonese style thick rice noodles with black mushrooms, napa cabbage and seared skirt steak. Desserts are also a range of Thai, Indian and Asian sweets. Former Karu and Y sommelier Dwayne Savoie has also paired “Hidden Values from Around the World,” wines curated from boutique vintners all priced at $55.

If you have been meaning to make your way to this luxe new resort but haven’t yet found the motivation, perhaps Wright’s new tasting menu will convince you it’s time to Summer at the Setai.

The Setai is located at 1920 Collins Avenue. Reservations: 305.520.6402. Dinner:  7-10pm Sunday - Thursday and 7-11pm Friday and Saturday.
