Ringside<\/h2>\n \n
\n

Secure a front-row experience to the grand spectacle that is our centerpiece restaurant. And when we say spectacle, we mean it: A wall of floor-to-ceiling windows reveal panoramic views of the beach, billboard-size murals showcase trapeze artists doing daredevil acts, and five private booths peek out from behind sumptuous velvet drapery. The setting meets its perfect match in our menu, serving up a delicate balancing act of bold flavors and Gulf seafood favorites.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n

Midway<\/h2>\n \n
\n

Anchored by a large tufted banquette sofa and a bar that straddles the indoor lobby space and the outdoor pool area, the lobby bar lounge is the place to mix and mingle beside views of the beach. Happy hours are a must here for the daring drinks that take center stage. You\u2019ll never be bored with what is mixed, muddled, and mastered beneath the unique cage-like canopy of the bar.<\/p>\n

Ringmaster<\/h2>\n \n

Located on just the opposite side of the lobby bar lounge, the pool bar serves up a similar menu with sips suited to sunbathing on the surrounding pool deck. Additional seating bordered around the bar and bar terrace allows for more intimate conversations \u2013 but still always within full view of the beach across the street.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n
