There’s something that happens to one’s palate when they have had the good fortune of traveling the world with an open mind and a big appetite. Enter Michelin-starred restaurateur and “Gypsy Chef” David Myers and his new Adrift Mare culinary concept at Hotel AKA Brickell, where diners literally get a taste of everywhere he’s been.“Food is at the heart of every great city and small town, and with every new mile put under foot, I gain added respect for fresh, seasonal ingredients that reflect the bounty of the land and the spirit of the culture,” says Chef Myers. The breathtaking restaurant, set within an 11-story atrium showcasing dynamic vistas of the city skyline and Biscayne Bay, features wave-patterned stone floors and giant plant installations. Guests can expect vibrant dishes with fresh fish, crustaceans and grilled meats alongside light pastas and seasonal, thoughtfully prepared salads, vegetable dishes and sides. To complement the menu, the restaurant has partnered with internationally renowned mixologists Moe Aljaff & Juliette Larrouy to create a dazzling cocktail program that blends elegant minimalism with defined, bold flavors. The exquisite wine list concentrates on the best terroirs from in and around the Mediterranean Sea, including Ancient World labels from Greece and Lebanon, Super Tuscans and Provençal Rosés; AdriftMare.com/Miami.
