The Restaurant at The Palms Hotel & Spa

"In its quest to provide a natural and wholesome experience for every guest, the hotel also features a new restaurant and lounge -- Essensia, the pure essence of taste -- featuring a worldly menu of organic, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients"

"The hotel also has a 5,000-square-foot Aveda spa and a signature farm-to-table restaurant, Essensia"

"The on-site restaurant, Essensia, specializes in natural gourmet fare, featuring seasonal dishes like macadamia-crusted grouper, and chef Julie Frans hand-selects herbs from the organic garden installed beside the Tiki Bar"

"On-site Essensia restaurant emphasizes organic, local, sustainable ingredients"

"Guests "enjoy" "people-watching" at this "beautifully landscaped", "iconic" South Beach property mere "steps from the ocean", but they also applaud the Aveda destination spa, "amazing" freshwater pool area and an on-site restaurant serving organic farm-to-table meals; a "friendly" staff oversees the "spacious", "well-decorated" rooms and suites boasting the "most comfortable beds", mosaic-tiled bathrooms with rain shower heads and views of the ocean or Miami's skyline"
