This effortlessly elegant restaurant serves up its trademark “New World Cuisine”—a boundless variety of flavors from around the world that will be sure to impress even the most diverse of tastes.
Explains owner and celebrity chef Norman Van Aken, "If a map of the world were a tablecloth, and I could choose a place at that table, I would sit at the southern tip of Florida, at the nexus of North America and the Caribbean. My plate would touch Cuba, the Florida Keys, the Yucatan, the West Indies, the Bahamas, and South America. And, if time could tell, I would listen to the tales of voyagers, discoverers, traders and mystics who, in searching for “the Indies”, the Great Khan and the riches of China, discovered something much more valuable and enduring; a new world of culinary treasures. Almost instantly, the cuisines of the Old World began to merge with foods of this New World; this evolutionary and inexorable fusion lies at the heart of New World Cuisine.”
