Mediterranean fare & cocktails in a refined hotel spot
"The Lido’s walk-in friendly Champagne Bar is worthy of your fanciest clothes (and your thickest credit card). This old-money spot is not cheap, but if you want to go big on some $20-plus cocktails that taste like works of art, this is the place to do it. The historic property is gorgeous too, with massive cathedral ceilings and bartenders sporting white coats behind an emerald green bar you can practically see your reflection in. The martinis here are predictably great—chilled to the ideal temperature in glassware so delicate you’re afraid to touch it." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"Lido brings breezy, Italian coastal cooking to the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club. There is nothing better than a seat than on the terrace, which overlooks the pool and off to the ocean through a line of palm trees. Against this dazzling backdrop, his team delivers politely seasoned, well-sourced seafood. Crudo is an easy start, like bluefin tuna tartare with pickled seaweed and puffed wild rice. Plenty will be content with just a king crab salad, but don’t ignore housemade pastas like seafood risotto or spaghetti with clams. Larger plates include branzino with rainbow chard or tagliata with beef jus. An oasis that radiates tranquility, the restaurant is a pricey, albeit luxurious, retreat from the rest of the city." - Michelin Inspector

"In Miami, White oversaw the kitchen at the Lido Restaurant and Champagne Bar at the Surf Club in the Four Seasons, part of his post-pandemic sequence of chef gigs." - Melissa McCart
