Jardin del Amor by Chef Giorgio Rapicavoli
The prix fixe menu ($100 per person) available Monday, February 10 through Saturday, February 15, 2025, at Mayfair Grill presents a thoughtfully curated journey of flavors. The evening begins with hand-cut yellowfin tuna tartare, kissed with tropical mango leche de tigre or a luxurious black truffle risotto enriched with local mushrooms. For main courses, choose between local fish bouillabaisse, draped in melted fennel and bright citrus notes, or an indulgent American Wagyu culotte steak accompanied by Stilton blue and port wine glacé. The final chapter unfolds with a light passionfruit panna cotta or a seductive, warm dark chocolate cake with miso caramel. On Valentine’s Day proper (February 14), the Addison Rifkind Trio will fill the garden with live music from 6 to 10 PM, while optional wine pairings ($45) will complement each course.
Divas Take the Night On February 14: Sipsip Rooftop transforms into a celebration of friendship with “Decks & Divas.” From 8 PM to 1 AM, DJ Millz commands the turntables with an all-female power playlist featuring icons from Taylor Swift to Beyoncé. The first 50 ladies receive a complimentary welcome drink, setting the tone for a night where friendship takes center stage.
Singles Run & Mingle: The Valentine’s celebrations continue on February 15 as Mayfair House partners with Coconut Grove Run Club for a Singles Run culminating in a rooftop mingle at Sipsip. This complimentary community event brings together local runners for a social run through Coconut Grove, followed by cocktails and conversation at the hotel’s atmospheric rooftop bar.
Love in Liquid Form: Throughout all venues, specially crafted cocktails tell their own love stories: The “Love Potion” blends gin with elderflower and pomegranate; “Cupid’s Arrow” unites bourbon with cherry liqueur and honey; and “Chocolate Kiss” offers a decadent mix of vodka, crème de cacao, and strawberry.
Mayfair House offers luxury accommodations with unique amenities for those seeking to extend their Valentine’s celebration, including the exclusive Ruinart Champagne Emergency Hotline. By dialing 1729, paying homage to the champagne house’s founding year, guests can enjoy 24-hour Ruinart champagne service directly to their rooms. Each artfully designed suite features a private terrace, perfect for intimate moments under the Miami sky, complemented by the world’s oldest champagne house’s most celebrated cuvées.
