Florie's

Mauro Colagreco runs Mirazur in Menton, three Michelin stars and once the number-one restaurant in the world. Florie's, on the ground floor of the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach at 2800 South Ocean Boulevard, is his only restaurant in the United States. It opened in 2021 in partnership with the hotel, and it carries his Mediterranean, live-fire, garden-driven cooking onto the Florida coast. The meal begins with his sharing bread, a soft loaf shaped like six flower petals to break apart, baked from his grandmother's recipe with local citrus. Book it when the dinner has to land.

The Kitchen

Mauro Colagreco is Argentine by birth and French by training, with stints under Bernard Loiseau, Alain Passard and Alain Ducasse before he opened Mirazur on the Riviera in 2006. Mirazur holds three Michelin stars and topped the World's 50 Best list in 2019. Florie's is his first and only United States room, opened in 2021 at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach in partnership with the hotel, and the cooking is recognisably his: Mediterranean, vegetable-forward, built around live fire and a kitchen garden. The signature is the sharing bread, a six-petal loaf you tear apart at the table, served with lemon-ginger olive oil and made from his grandmother's recipe. The menu runs to crudo, wood-fired fish and meats, and produce-led plates that change with the season. Dinner is offered a la carte and as prix-fixe menus, roughly $155 per person for four courses and $195 for the longer menu, with special collaboration dinners such as a truffle menu reaching $250. The setting is open and bright, the service Four Seasons-polished. Order the bread, a crudo, and whatever came off the wood fire that night.

The Room

Florie's reads bright and Mediterranean rather than dark and formal, all pale tones, woven textures and Florida light. Lighting is soft and warm at dinner, the room calm and well spaced, with a separate bar running a lighter menu. Sound stays at an easy conversational level; this is a resort dining room, not a scene. Tables are generous, the kind that suit a long dinner or a quiet proposal. Dress is Palm Beach smart, resort-elegant: jackets common at dinner, good dresses, no athletic wear. The terrace and ocean are a short walk through the resort. Service is the polished Four Seasons standard, attentive without hovering. Ask for a corner table if the evening is meant to be private.

Best for Impressing Clients in Palm Beach

Bring a client to Florie's because the credentials are unimpeachable and the room never strains to prove it. First, a three-Michelin-star chef's only American restaurant is a fact a guest registers immediately, and it signals you did your homework. Second, the prix-fixe menus let you set the pace and hand the choices to the kitchen, freeing the table to talk. Third, the Four Seasons address and service remove every rough edge from the evening. The scene to picture: a corner table, the petal bread torn between you, a crisp Provençal rosé, and a wood-fired turbot arriving as the conversation turns to the deal. Reserve a prix-fixe dinner and let the sommelier pair it.
