Coral Gables, known locally as "The Gables," is an upscale neighborhood southwest of Downtown Miami. Its development in the 1920s was meticulously planned by George Merrick, featuring wide, tree-lined avenues named after European towns and adorned with plazas, parks, and fountains. Today, Coral Gables, often referred to as 'The City Beautiful,' is celebrated not only for its splendid Mediterranean Revival architecture, exemplified by the grand Biltmore Hotel, but also for its vibrant cultural institutions, such as the Coral Gables Museum.

Miracle Mile, the neighborhood's iconic thoroughfare, is a bustling four-block shopping and dining hub in the Central Business District. Just a short distance from Miracle Mile lies The Plaza Coral Gables, a modern mixed-use development that includes the newly opened Loews Coral Gables Hotel.

The hotel's central food and drink destination, Americana Kitchen, serves as restaurant, bar and lounge. Other options includes a poolside restaurant and bar and lobby cafe.

SIP + EAT

AMERICANA KITCHEN

Helmed by the equally talented and passionate Executive Chef for Loews Coral Gables Hotel, Chef Ricardo Jarquin, the venue consists of three distinct spaces: the main dining room with its open kitchen, the intimate lounge, and the circle bar.

BAR AT AMERICANA

From your comfy leather barstool chair, order one of these signature drinks:

MARGARITA -This clarified version is mixed with Jose Cuervo Cristalino Tequila and Passionfruit.

OLD FASHIONED - This take on the classic cocktail features Brown Butter washed Maker's Mark Bourbon and Cherry Oleo Saccharum.

DINING ROOM AT AMERICANA

You can start you meal off right with one of these starters, but we recommend you order all three:

Florida Oysters -enjoy their plump meat with the accompanied onion-based Chalaquita Sauce or Rocoto Cocktail Sauce;

Shrimp Cocktail - served with Rocoto cocktail sauce, Habanero remoulade, and avocado mousse, and Charred Spare Ribs -topped with Carolina barbecue sauce, celery, scallions, and peanuts.If you have room for a main dish, consider the decedent Strip Loin -served with butter basted Maitake mushrooms, truffled Sauce Robert paired with Cabernet Sauvignon; or the delish Seared Branzino alongside roasted carrot puree, piquillo pepper escabeche, and buttered turnips paired with a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.Save room for a decadent dessert, or at least a delish

ESPRESSO MARTINI -made with Chopin Vodka, SelvaRey Chocolate Rum and Owen's nitro-infused Espresso Martini Mix.

BRUNCH AT AT AMERICANA

Jump start your day with a cappuccino or mimosa, while you decide to go savory or sweet for breakfast.  A great savory choice is the Hash A Lo Cubano - a dish loaded with roast pork, crispy New potatoes, plantain, charred onion, mojo aoli, and topped with a fried egg.

On the sweet side, the Citrus French Toast is a great way to go if you carve Nutella, macerated strawberries, and candied pecans.

PHINEAS
