Sonesta Fort Lauderdale Beach today announced more details on its new full-service restaurant, Steelpan, opening in December. The oceanfront restaurant is a Caribbean-American fusion kitchen and bar, serving up a menu influenced by the multicultural island flavors of South Florida, and will feature indoor/outdoor seating for guests to soak in the hotel’s stunning views.
“With the upcoming opening of Steelpan, we’re excited to invite both our hotel guests and local residents to experience a concept that we have worked on so passionately,” said Eduardo Fernandez, general manager of Sonesta Fort Lauderdale Beach. “We are confident the great care we’ve taken in crafting a unique menu and memorable experience will solidify Steelpan’s place as a delicious, affordable and exciting new spot on Fort Lauderdale Beach.”
As guests arrive at Steelpan, they’ll immediately notice hints of the Caribbean through a celebration of flavors and cultures. Chef Kevin Baker, a passionate Jamaican native, will introduce a menu that showcases the restaurant’s coastal location, leading guests through a shared culinary and libation-rich journey. This new ‘oasis’ will bring forth the flavors of the Caribbean and the island cultures that have long influenced the cuisine of South Florida – from the Bahamas to Barbados, Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, The British Virgin Islands and West Indies.
Guests will enjoy fresh twists on regional treasures, including cracked conch with citrus, “Sea-Sar” salad with sugarcane-grilled shrimp and a seafood stew boasting fresh catch-of-the-day in a spicy broth.
Steelpan will evolve into a vibrant and interactive gathering place as the day and menu turn. Steelpan’s American-Caribbean flavors will pair perfectly with a craft cocktail menu, featuring rum flights, signature drinks like the Tropical Splash, and a thoughtfully curated wine and beer selection. Happy hour specials will be available, daily, from 4PM to 7PM.
