South Florida is home to incredible hotel bars<\/a>, and now, its hotel restaurants are getting the spotlight they deserve.<\/p>\n OpenTable has just named five South Florida restaurants to its 2026 Top 100 Hotel Restaurants in America list<\/a>. The list draws on more than 10 million verified diner reviews and OpenTable dining data collected between May 2025 and April 2026, and it is presented alphabetically rather than ranked.<\/p>\n Apparently, hotel restaurant dining is up seven percent nationwide over the past year, according to OpenTable, and more than 90 percent of Americans say they\u2019ve eaten at a hotel restaurant without staying there. Florida landed 18 restaurants on the list overall, but only five fall within Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.<\/p>\n Fort Lauderdale Beach\u2019s two entries<\/p>\n Evelyn\u2019s,<\/a> inside the Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale, is led by chef Brandon Salomon and serves Mediterranean waterfront dining that blends Eastern Mediterranean technique with Florida\u2019s seasonal produce. It\u2019s one of the first Michelin-recommended restaurants in Fort Lauderdale and earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2025. It\u2019s also one of New Times\u2019 13 Best Fort Lauderdale Beach Restaurants<\/a>.<\/p>\n A few blocks down Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard, Takato<\/a> inside the Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach serves Japanese-Korean fusion from chef Taek Lee, known as Taka. The menu features dishes like wagyu hot stone and sushi ice cream for dessert. It\u2019s also among New Times\u2019 list of best restaurants in Fort Lauderdale Beach.<\/p>\n Delray Beach\u2019s Michelin import<\/p>\n Akira Back <\/a>opened his first Florida namesake restaurant inside The Ray Hotel in Delray Beach, serving a modern Japanese menu built for sharing, including dishes like the \u201cAB Tuna Pizza\u201d and 48-hour Wagyu short rib. Back is Michelin-starred, and The Ray also houses his rooftop spot, Rosewater, one floor up.<\/p>\n Gianni\u2019s at the Villa photo<\/p>\n Miami Beach\u2019s mansion dining room<\/p>\n Gianni\u2019s at the Former Versace Mansion<\/a> sits inside the Villa Casa Casuarina on Ocean Drive, the infamous Mediterranean Revival estate once owned by, you guessed it, Gianni Versace. The Nakash family, of Jordache Jeans, bought the property in 2013 and reopened it as a boutique hotel in 2015. Gianni\u2019s serves Italian Mediterranean food inside the mansion\u2019s pebbled-mosaic dining room and around its gold-tiled pool, with a clubstaurant vibe on the weekend.<\/p>\n Palm Beach Gardens\u2019 Omakase Counter<\/p>\n Sushi by Bou\u2019s Palm Beach Gardens<\/a> location sits inside PGA National Resort, a 1920s Prohibition-themed omakase counter with a 12-course signature menu, plus 17-course Bougie and Bou Reserve tastings for diners who want to go further. It\u2019s one of more than 20 Sushi by Bou locations chef David Bouhadana has opened across the country.<\/p>\n Akira Back. The Ray Hotel. 233 NE Second Ave., Delray Beach; akirabackdelray.com<\/a>.
