The Restaurant at Palmeiras Beach Club at Grove Isle

"Introduced in early 2010, Gibraltar, a haute-cuisine restaurant whose executive chef used to cook for Donald Trump, serves fresh seafood and other regional specialties in a spectacular, elegant dining room, or, better yet, outside on the water"

"Isolated on its own, 20-acre island off the coast of funky Coconut Grove, the Grove Isle offers big rooms (each with a balcony and a stunning view), a spa, 12 tennis courts, an open-air restaurant, a superb fitness center, and a marina"

"Gibraltar, the resort’s indoor-outdoor restaurant, serves locally inspired dishes like diver sea scallops with tagliolini pasta and saffron-mango crème"

"All-suite rooms and a tropical vibe are matched by an excellent waterfront restaurant, Baleen, and a superb spa"

"Not to mention Havana Nights, a salute to Latin cuisine (Thursdays, 8-11pm) in Baleen, the resident restaurant - one of the best in the Grove"

"I was content to gaze at the water from my palm-framed balcony, but eventually I made my way down to Grove Isle’s Gibraltar restaurant, where I traded one view for another and washed down a knockout paella with a glass of Syrah as a full moon rose above the bay"

"The restaurant has a new name but its familiar, casual island-y concept remains in play"

"Isolated on its own, 20-acre island off the coast of funky Coconut Grove, the Grove Isle offers big rooms (each with a balcony and a stunning view), a spa, 12 tennis courts, an open-air restaurant, a superb fitness center, and a marina"
