The Grand Cafe - Grand Bay Hotel - Coconut Grove

The Grand Cafe - Grand Bay Hotel - Coconut Grove, Florida serves Northern Italian cuisine in an upscale atmosphere. I had considered staying at this hotel but instead selected the Mayfair Hotel and Spa. To see what I may have missed, I planned a dinner at their restaurant.

The Grand Bay Hotel is almost right across the street from the famous Monty's Raw Bar by the way. If you are looking for casual fun, Monty's is a good choice. At The Grand Cafe you will not feel out of place if you want to dress up for an evening out. The decor was elegant and included various exotic, cut flower arrangements. I found the dinner menu to be surprisingly limited, and some guests may have difficulty in making an enjoyable selection if they do not like seafood or red meat.

Dessert made up for the dinner choices and even featured an excellent chocolate souffle, sorbets, cheesecake, and other delectables.

If you live nearby and are looking for another restaurant to add to your repertoire, this is a worthy of your time; however, visitors to Coconut Grove should check out some of the more famous establishments such as Baleen, Bice, or Red Fish Grill, Norman's, or Havana Harry's in Coral Gables. I have not visited all of them, but they are highly rated.
