If you are ready for a special night out, this trendy Riviera-style dining and lounging
experience offers spectacular bay views, delicious food pairings, flawless presentation and
impeccable service.
Executive Chef Renato Medeiros has put forth a creative and varied menu of Mediterranean-
influenced sharing plates, as well as sushi and raw bar offerings. His creations are a unique
marriage of Mediterranean and Asian inspired flavors that end up in the perfect combination
on your plate.
The Venue
Alex Podolny and Peter Cumplido have created a venue with an impressive interior dining
room and a seductive lounge that is relaxed yet elegant– a delightful fusion of the South of
France and 305. You can also dine alfresco on their beach club-style terrace overlooking the
picturesque Intracoastal of Sunny Isles Beach.
Lique’s 1,000-foot dock will allow guests to arrive by boat, if they fancy. The restaurant
actually has its own yacht available for private dinners and parties.
It’s also a great place for Sunday brunch where you can even enjoy something totally
different, like, short rib eggs Benedict with horseradish hollandaise sauce or your favorite
Mimosa.

The raw bar boasts Cold Water Main Lobster, excellent quality sushi, several types of elegant

I love the TACUSHI–shredded crab, avocado and sriracha mayo!
