Foodies in the know head to Crudo Bar. Hidden within Lido Restaurant, which exudes the utmost Italian-infused sophistication, Crudo Bar is within a stone’s throw of a quiet stretch of Miami Beach’s white sands and aqua water. Lido Restaurant resides within Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, which has been a getaway for iconic actors, dignitaries and seemingly everyone in between since the 1930s.
Back to Crudo Bar — it’s an incredibly intimate experience, inclusive of its sleek bar layout and quaint-yet-filling crudo concoctions from chef Marco Calenzo. As a quick refresher, crudo translates to “raw” in Italian, and you can expect a variety of raw bases bedazzled here in an Italian-meets-Japanese fashion. Think yellowtail cacio e pepe-style or caviar atop a bed of cold spaghetti and almonds. These courses — which change regularly —are a part of what Crudo Bar dubs as “Journeys.” And, amid all of the accolades and buzz that Lido Restaurant and the broader Four Seasons resort may have, this much is clear — Crudo Bar is a unique journey of its own.
- The overarching vibe of the broader Lido Restaurant space is elegant Italian, with bursts of fresh greenery, arched entryways and windows and pops of stately lighting. Crudo Bar’s look is simplistic with cushioned bar stools with plush backings, a behind-the-bar mantel and a circular mirror centerpiece. It’s an ambiance where chatter with fellow diners is seamless and feels natural.
- There are 20 seats available at Crudo Bar, including six at the bar and a selection of smaller tables, seating two to five guests. It ensures an exclusive, intimate experience.
- Diners will enjoy seven courses determined by the chef and delivered in an omakase-style bar setting.
- Opt to add on wine pairings to your prix fixe menu and you'll savor a range of top-notch pours, including sake, champagne and Italian wines.
- The Miami restaurant’s Japanese-influenced Italian is a delicious one-of-a-kind take. Filled with fresh seafood, each meal is memorable.
- There are two seatings per evening for the omakase experience.
- Reservations are highly encouraged given the limited seating.
- The dress code at Crudo Bar is business casual, and jackets are not required. The bar and broader Lido Restaurant space certainly evoke a “special occasion” ambiance, so err on the side of sophistication.
