LURE FISHBAR Loews Miami Beach Hotel

Happy Hour: 6:00-8:00PM (at the bar) Restaurant Hours: 6:00-11:00PM

Can accommodate up to 70 guests

When you can see the sea, order the seafood. It’s easy to obey this maxim when staying at Loews Miami Beach Hotel, thanks to our signature restaurant, Lure Fishbar; a polished New York City transplant stocked with raw and cooked bounty from the land and sea. The posh dining room sports a vintage, maritime motif complete with hardwood floors, blue-plaid banquettes and shelves lined with nautical knickknacks.

Here, seafood is king. If shellfish tickles your fancy, delve into towering ice platters of assorted shucked oysters ranging from east to west coast, Maine lobsters and fresh-from stone crabs (during season). At the sushi bar, diners can indulge in over 15 types of sashimi and a selection of handcrafted, signature rolls. For those who haven’t yet found their sea legs, fear not! Home of the award winning “Bash Style” burger, Lure’s contemporary menu offers an array of delectable, non-seafood selections including delicious steaks.

The restaurant also has a private dining room perfect for birthday parties, rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions, special events or business meetings. For more information, click here or contact the Catering Manager at [email protected] or 305.604.5466.

The modern Italian concept went head to head with 15 other contenders from across the United States to lay claim to the prize, winning the hearts – and appetites – of viewers and the show’s judges in the process. Hosted by chef and restauranteur Tom Colicchio, the series pitted 16 restaurants from New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Austin against one another with each being judged on not only the dishes they served, but also everything from décor to hospitality to overall concept. In the end, our Dolce took home the title as well as an editorial feature in Bon Appétit, a featured spot at America’s number one global food festival, Vegas Uncork’d by Bon Appétit 2015, and $100,000.
