TO TRY 2 The SETAI Set

The Setai Miami Beach flaunts two of the most stylish and buzzed about dining options in the area. (thesetaihotel.com) — P.R.

JAYA

Anchored by a soothing reflection pond, lined with sleek seating nooks, and embellished with eye-catching light and water features, The Setai’s alfresco courtyard dazzles as the ultimate backdrop for an elegant Miami dinner. It’s home to the hotel’s signature restaurant, Jaya, where executive chef Vijayudu Veena takes guests on an epicurean journey across Asia, from his native India to Thailand, Malaysia, China, Japan, and beyond. Our advice for optimizing Jaya’s expansive menu: Go family-style, sharing dishes that span the continent, including chicken (or sea bass) tikka, Peking duck, pad thai, truffle dumplings, salmon panang curry, and made-to-order maki rolls.

Ocean Grill

This snazzy, open-air restaurant is a favorite among the Miami style set thanks to its Instagram-worthy fare, fabulous ocean views, and elevated coastal vibe. Expect lighter Mediterranean cuisine during the day (think: salmon carpaccio, tuna Niçoise salad, and grilled fish tacos) and heartier items come dusk when dishes like truffle risotto and Maine lobster spaghetti shine. Ocean Grill is also an idyllic setting for embracing the Miami lifestyle over a languid afternoon of oysters, rosé, bubbles, and conversation.
