La Marea |
La Marea at the Tides Hotel is as soothing as the ebb and flow of the
sea. Diners enjoy an open air perch on the main
patio or a secluded table in Kelly Wearstler's quirky
dining room. With imaginative touches inspired by the
sand and surf, the funky décor serves as the perfect
backdrop for the chef's Mediterranean-infused menu.
A selection of starters like a perfectly prepared
diver scallop, fresh tuna crudo or tiny marinated
anchovies make a delightful tapas meal when paired
with a bottle of wine and a sampling from the
still-warm bread basket. A hearty seafood soup is a
wonderful lunchtime treat with luscious lobster cobb
salad or a chicken or fish sandwich. What sets La
Marea apart from the other upscale restaurants on
Ocean Drive is Rota's determination to provide just a
few delicate preparations of fresh seafood from local
waters or express shipped into his capable hands.
Dover Sole in a lemony butter sauce is simply
dazzling. Pastas topped with seafood, sausage or
roasted pork cheek and porcini mushrooms are the
highlights of the summer dinner menu.
Renovations at this landmark Art Deco property are
still underway. Once the Kors group completes the 45
guest rooms and suites, the Tides will regain it's
reputation as one of the top boutique properties on
Ocean Drive. In the meantime, La Marea is destined to
keep the hotel on the map with local foodies and
in-the-know travelers for the rest of the season.
Entrees are bold and creative such as Crispy
Yellowtail Snapper pan seared and served with mango risotto and a
ginger-ponzu drizzle; Sea Scallops wrapped in proscuitto are accompanied
by purple sticky rice and wasabi celery nage; Ancho Chili Crusted Lamb
Chops partner with grilled flat bread; and Caribbean Curried Seafood
features lobster, squid and Florida grouper enhanced by a chutney of
caramelized apples and bananas.
One of South Beach's most scrumptious breakfast
menus serves up Lemon Ricotta Hot Cakes with orange citrus compote;
Florida Lobster Benedict with charred asparagus and tangy hollandaise;
French Croissant Toast with caramelized bananas and rum-maple syrup; and
"Burritas," where the Breakfast Burrito meets the Fajita with flour
tortillas, scrambled eggs, sizzling peppers and onions, all doused with
roasted salsa.
Modern elegance sets the tone in
La Marea at the Tides? main dining room. The inviting Front Terrace facing onto Ocean Drive and the
beach features lush white linen sofas brightened with accent pillows and
shaded by canvas canopies - an ideal respite for mingling with friends
and people watching while enjoying cocktails or an unforgettable meal.
