Dining

Dining at The Ritz-Carlton, Key Biscayne blends elements of the Mediterranean, Far East, Europe and Florida to create innovative culinary presentations in its signature restaurant, Aria, The Sandbar Grill, The Lobby Lounge, The Library Bar, The Drawing Room and Wine Room.

Aria

A hint of the Mediterranean sits at the edge of the Atlantic. With arched portals and honeyed wood accents highlighted in the interior and the waters of the Atlantic softly cascading the ocean-view terrace, Aria is a treat for all five senses. This culinary opus, led under the mastery of Executive Chef Jeffrey Vigilla, features inspired Mediterranean cuisine, a lavish Sunday Brunch, and special evenings of live Flamenco and Bolero music, tapas and Sangria each month. Food & Wine recently heralded Aria as one of "America's 50 Best Hotel Restaurants."

The Sandbar Grill

Imagine relaxing under woven bamboo fans enjoying a true Miami dining experience while ocean breezes caress your face and dolphins jump in the distance.
