Description

Preston's in the Loews Hotel is one of the few restaurants along the beach with an oceanfront view. Breakfast is a real feast here, with eggs benedict Cubano on tostada bread and chorizo; a Florida lobster omelet; and an oatmeal brûlée among the early-bird treats. Expect innovative Mediterranean-inspired American cuisine boasting local ingredients and lots of organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs. The brasserie-style menu is an epicurean's bliss, with exciting appetizers, refined pizzas, and bold entrées. Among the most luscious are the tuna tartare topped with a smooth lime foam, a very sexy prosciutto-and-fig pizza with arugula and Gorgonzola, and the soon-to-be-outlawed pomegranate grilled ribs. Other tasty notables include entrées such as filet mignon and focaccia-crusted lobster tail with Pinot glaze, and Mediterranean seafood stew with braised fennel and tomato saffron broth. Most desserts are served tapas style and include a honey-citrus panna cotta and cheesecake lollipops. All good things come to those who pay, and Preston's is not a place to visit on a budget. That said, if you're looking for elegance and originality, this is your place.
