FOOD & BEVERAGE AT THE PALMS HOTEL & SPA

A Natural Way to Dine

At The Palms, our culinary approach is guided by fresh, seasonal ingredients and a natural approach to flavor. Essensia, our signature restaurant and bar, is recognized by Slow Food Miami’s Snail of Approval and the Surfrider Foundation’s Ocean Friendly Restaurants program for our sustainability commitment. The same thoughtful sourcing is found in our poolside bites, wines and cocktails at the bar, Grab ’n Go at the Gift Shop, and in-room dining.
