Tambourine Room by Tristan Brandt

"A modern fine dining experience with classically French touches, located on Collins Avenue in Miami." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Housed inside the Carillon Miami Wellness Resort, this intimate fine dining restaurant from chef Tristan Brandt serves a five-course tasting menu of modern French dishes with influences that cross the Asian diaspora. The one-Michelin-starred restaurant, which only seats 18 guests at a time, has a five-course tasting menu that rotates frequently. Still, diners can expect finessed plates like lobster elote with chicken and cilantro, a deeply spiced lamb curry, and an apricot and white chocolate glass cake. As for beverages, Tambourine Room is currently wine only — Brandt believes the offerings are best served with wine — with a focus on European vintages." - Olee Fowler

"It’s worth practicing your sad puppy eyes in the mirror to coerce someone into paying for Tambourine Room’s $265 ten-course tasting menu. The sort of skill needed to pull off this many purees and espumas without eliciting eye rolls is rare. Depending on the season, the menu might include scallops with seared foie gras in arugula foam or venison strip loin with a coffee and yuzu hollandaise. The fine dining restaurant is located inside the Carillon Resort, and although we don’t love the ambiance in the strangely lit dining room, the exceptional food and service are what you’ll remember. If those sad puppy eyes don’t work, you can always wait for summer when the menu is pared down to five courses for $169." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
