Loved the atmosphere of this restaurant. Very south beach, clean, and contemporary feel. The service was amazing, loved our waiter. There was a cool pool out back as well which would be perfect during lunches. The food was just ok though. The pricing for the taste did not match up. The presentation was nice though. There was also small portions which is fine if you aren’t charging South Beach costs. I much preferred the drinks to the food.

We got there at 10:45AM and were promptly seated by the pool. They have a nice looking looking indoor/outdoor space with view on a pool.

Great service and ambiance. We were staying at the hotel and had both breakfast and dinner. A bit pricey, but seems to be on par for the general area. Our server brought us a complimentary, made in house limoncello at dinner, which was much appreciated and tasted great! Would return when I’m in the area again.

Lovely place with great service and ambiance. Friendly staff as well. I was staying at the hotel and would have loved to eat here more often but the lack of vegan and Plantbased options prevented me from doing this! It’s 2023 and astonishing that there is so little to eat here! I had breakfast and the avocado toast was lovely. Clearly the chef is great but it’s a huge disappointment that they can’t go with the times.

Just a brief sample of our Italian culinary adventure. Perfect weather to sit poolside. Recommended! #downtownftlgirl Traditions… Complex Executive Chef Michael Mayer is the real deal. This menu is authentic Italian. One of the best dinners at La Fuga with personalized chef recommendations, expertly crafted cocktails and attentive service. #LafugaFTL #LaFugaLove

New kid in the North Beach area, very stylish but rather hidden away. Only valet parking + modest ‘on-street’ but as I arrived early eve on foot, fascinated by an interesting menu.

We’re staying right around the corner, and know the Kimpton brand, so we gave it a shot.

Food was delish! (Really recommend the risotto). Service was exceptional. Music can be a little loud at times but hey, at least it is not reggaeton. Highly recommended! Avoid valet fees by parking nearby

We went there yesterday, and the food was really bad, the chicken we ordered had skin and the sauce no taste, the mashed potato it was from the bag, not from scratch and the texture really bad, the pasta was whatever even though the server said the pasta was homemade, they reheating in the microwave I guess they made the pasta first than the chicken.
