Miami’s 2024 Eater Award Winners | Eater Miami
"The arrival at the Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale represents a watershed moment for Broward County dining: chef Ryan Ratino — who helms two-Michelin-starred restaurants in D.C. (Jônt and Bresca) — brings a high-end tasting-menu experience (about $225 per person) previously found only in Miami. The kitchen excels at delicate small bites like foie gras macarons and refined mains such as the 72-hour short rib, while the bar program impresses with cocktails enthusiastically prepared tableside, exemplified by the Aurora, which blends Mijenta blanco tequila and Illegal mezcal with coconut, raspberry, and chocolate bitters. Though priced for special occasions, in a county with limited fine-dining options this gives Broward a destination that not only competes with Miami’s best but makes the drive north essential for serious food lovers." - Olee Fowler
