Excellent food and atmosphere. Went for Mothers Day brunch and Spanish Scrambles were a huge hit. Save room for stunning and tasty desserts.

Exceptional! On all fronts, service, food, drink, a really wonderful dining experience

We had an amazing dinner at Ariette. everything from the atmosphere to the food was outstanding. We ordered the pressed duck, the staff that did the preparation of the duck I front of us said to finish the meal with a salad. The only one thing that was not right was they didn’t give us salad plates. The duck was served with a sauce so there was still a left over sauce on the plate so when we ate our salad, it got mixed with the sauce, that didn’t go well on the salad because the salad has dressing on it. I found it odd for an upscale Michelin starred restaurant that the server didn’t pay attention to details. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner.

The restaurant at the Grand Beach Hotel Surfside is very good. Service is excellent. Sadly. The rest of the hotel is lacking big time. We won't be coming back.
