Sear + Sea Woodfire Grill is a classic steakhouse with a modern twist, led by Chef Jobin Thomas. A seasoned chef with experience in multiple Michelin-starred restaurants, Chef Thomas is on a mission to earn Sear + Sea its first Michelin star. The restaurant has been routinely recognized as a Recommended Restaurant in the Florida Michelin Guide since 2023.
A standout addition this year, beginning in June, is the Chef’s Table Experience. Seated at a striking marble table in the heart of the dining room, guests will enjoy a five- to seven-course meal from a custom-curated menu. This immersive experience will allow chefs to serve each dish personally, sharing the inspiration behind their creations. With seating limited to just six guests, reservations will be required.
At Sear + Sea, the menu evolves with the seasons. Each month, the freshest ingredients take center stage—whether it’s white asparagus, ramps, or fiddlehead ferns; premium proteins like venison or seasonal seafood; or ripe stone fruits. Every dish reflects the best flavors of the moment.
Even bread lovers are in for a treat. A new bread presentation features house-made sourdough paired with a decadent truffle mushroom and garlic compound butter served under a glass cloche—a true delight for the senses.

Illume is a rooftop sushi restaurant where breathtaking city views meet the spectacle of dazzling fireworks. Its Japanese-inspired cuisine, crafted with precision and passion, features ingredients sourced both locally and directly from Japan.
Every Sunday evening, a select number of guests are invited to experience Illume’s rooftop take on a chef’s table—an elevated omakase that is as exquisite as the setting. This season, Illume pays homage to cherry blossoms in full bloom. Highlights include artfully crafted cherry blossom tea-inspired mocktails, and a fragrant cherry blossom tea service paired with a stunning cherry blossom Madeleine. A masterful fusion of French technique and Japanese flavors, this delicate shortcake is crowned with a luscious cherry blossom glaze—a sweet, floral finish to an unforgettable experience.
Don’t miss a special Illume event where a 120-pound bluefin tuna is expertly broken down. In a dazzling display of knife skills, Chef Czarina and Chef Vinh showcase how traditional sushi toro takes its place on the menu in all its delectable forms.
