Infusing a distinct Miami twist, the members’ hot spot is designed to feel like an extension of the home. At the heart of Harbour Club is the public-facing Italian Mediterranean restaurant a’Riva. Helmed by chef Michele Esposito, formerly at Miami’s Casa Tua, guests can enjoy seasonal dishes such as a family recipe-inspired Meatballs Angelina, hamachi crudo with feta, grapes and mint, pistachio ice cream made fresh with every order and many more mouthwatering dishes that showcase chef Esposito’s Neapolitan heritage. Beyond the dining room, members can delight in the Palm Room speakeasy with tantalizing and artisanal cocktails and a curated selection of light bites.

Upstairs in the members-only Nikai at Harbour Club, guests can experience a gastronomic journey highlighting Japanese cuisine. Dine on an ever-evolving menu, with each dish crafted with the freshest ingredients and fresh fish flown in daily from Japan. Featuring signature dishes such as Wagyu and truffle crispy rice, wasabi Caesar salad with housemade nori chips, and an extensive selection of wine, sake, and Japanese whiskey, each meal is an elevated and decadent experience.

Ensuring each space within the venue offers a distinctive feel, the interior design team at YODEZEEN blended Italian and Miami design aesthetics with textures and natural materials. While the first floor a’Riva embraces a minimalist and calming aesthetic with sandy tones and light oaks and linens, the palm tree-inspired Palm Room showcases classic Italian design. With luxurious velvet upholstery, dark walnut finishes and marble details, the rich palette of deep greens, gold and bronze features a bespoke design fitting for the intimate and enchanting hideaway.
