La Coquina Review

Expect an imaginative menu from the most acclaimed of the Hyatt Regency's five restaurants. The Chef's Table [SSS], available Thursday through Saturday evenings (seasonally Sept-June), allows guests the unique experience of dining right in the kitchen (completely transformed by ambient lighting and a chic contemporary decor into an intimate and upscale private dining room). Guests are invited and encouraged to come right into the exhibition kitchen as their dinner is prepared. Chef Orlando personally brings each of the five tantalizing courses to your table. You might be lucky enough to enjoy lavender-honey-glazed rack of lamb, Hawaiian tuna tartare, buffalo tenderloin, or confit Chilean poached sea bass. A personalized menu signed by the chef and a Grand Cypress apron are given to each guest at the end of the evening. Even at $95 per person ($120 with wine pairings), this unique dining experience is well worth the splurge. Make the very-hard-to-obtain reservations as far in advance as possible. The Sunday brunch (Sept-June) also allows diners to try out the intimate setting of the kitchen, though most opt to sit in the main dining room.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
