Gibraltar Ready to Rock Grove Isle

With restaurants like Gibraltar, the newest incarnation at Grove Isle in the space formerly known as Baleen (say buh-bye to the monkeys), it's a good thing there are heat lamps. Open since December 16, this contemporary American spot features some of the best--and only--waterfront dining in our waterfront city. Chef Jeff O'Neill has worked with the best of them---Charlie Palmer, Daniel Boulud, and Eric Ripert--and the most egomaniacal of them as Donald Trump's family chef. Signature dishes include roasted pumpkin tortellini, served with a simple sauce of spiced pistachios, maple and sage; yellowtail snapper, served with buttery roasted cabbage and chunks of Florida rock lobster in a Jerez sherry and mushroom scented broth; and Florida striped bass, with black olive farro, with preserved lemon and a sundried tomato vinaigrette. Now if only he could cook up some of that balmy Miami weather that makes dining outside one of our greatest assets.[EaterWire]
