Impeccable service. Beautiful room. Exquisite food. There's a lot to choose from. Order 4 or 5 small plates. Frog's legs, buffalo steak, crawfish, the yummy list goes on and on.
Extensive wine list. Impossible to choose one or even two bottles of wine that will go with everything you have chosen for dinner, but wine pairings (a different glass of wine with every course) are very well done and very reasonably priced.
Where to start... I guess when walking in. this is a French place and it gives you the feel like it could be in France somewhere. Lots of mirrors, gold decor and mid level lighting. A very friendly host stand to escort you to your (reservation preferred, sometimes required) table. Tables are large and set mostly with 4 very nicely upholstered chairs. Some 2 seaters are by the window that is overlooking the (South Florida's largest) pool. Drapes by the windows, waiters with authentic French accents.
What I really like about this place is that the staff remains ion board... this is a good thing when dealing with people who remember you even if you have not been there for a few month.
Portions are small, expensive and delicious. We have gone a few times and have never been disappointed. The menu usually lists a selection of small dishes that then compile to a full meal at the end. Order 4, 5 or 6 plates. My favorite is the wine pairing. The sommelier really know his stuff and the selection of the house makes up the rest. Pure taste orgasm!
If you make it here, suck up the price tag and indulge in one of Miami's Finest! Service, style and cuisine...
PS: The best day to go must be Bastille Day, the French Independence day...figure out the date on your own and do not reserve my table!

Have you ever felt like maybe - just maybe - you could make sweet, sweet love to your dinner? Oh...you haven't? Well, if you're up for the experience, I suggest you get yourself to this restaurant. I happen to have went for my birthday and ordered off the Miami Spice menu ($36 for a three course meal). I had the micro green salad, seven hour braised beef, and chocolate bar for dessert. Had it not been for the 3000 waiters that were constantly making rounds to clear our table, re-fill our wine, or serve us more fresh bread, I might have asked my food to marry me. Please go and see for yourself. I dare you to contain your carnal urges and refrain from going totally buck wild over your meal.

come to this place, particularly if you want to be the only diner under 55 yrs old. feels just like west palm placed in miami. type of place serving amuse bouche. the spice menu is small, so ordered dishes instead
lobster bisque -- rich, with equal lobster and mushroom flavor
frog legs -- in a salty green broth
lobster napoleon with a pinch of osetra caviar
osso bucco -- classic, but flavor lighter than expected
crawfish stew
several tasting menu options
classic french, probably fine for a special occasion.

i'd like to think i could afford to eat at the biltmore's uber expensive french restaurant, but my visit here was under strange circumstances. a few years back i was photographing a very wealthy northerner's birthday weekend celebration at the biltmore and his final dinner was held here at the palm d'or with 60 of his closest friends (yeah, i know... must be nice). they had the whole dinning room to themselves.
normally at these types of events, the catering company gives you some scraps, or sandwiches or whatever (it's a rare occasion to get something good). well, i asked one of the waitresses to see if there was anything at all to eat (i'd been on my feet for 8+ hours without eating). a few minutes later she waved me over to a little side room. a white gloved waiter stood in the room with his hands behind his back... pulled out my seat, napkin on my lap and thus began the experience of the palm d'or...
they gave me every dish the party goers were eating... even down to the champagne, foie gras, caviar, and the several small plates for each course. it was unreal. rich delicious french food. i must admit i'm not a huge fan of foie gras, but i knew it'd be a once in a lifetime experience... so i sucked it up and ate it.
i was part of the help that day, and they treated me like royalty. imagine if you were actually a paying client! i actually plan on going back sometime in the near future (when i have money), just to see if it's still as good.
only reason i didn't give 5 stars was for the price... it's very pricey. but it is the biltmore... and you should expect nothing less.
their menu is online, if you're at all interested.
