Dining
=======
Shula’s Steak House
Shula’s Steak House is the result of legendary NFL coach Don Shula’s dream to build America’s best steak house. The Dolphins’ 1972 perfect season provides the theme complete with menus hand painted on official NFL footballs, but the setting is casually elegant. "Shula's Cut" steaks made of Premium Black Angus are featured along with fresh Florida seafood, fabulous desserts and an extensive wine list. Location: In Hotel - Main Lobby Services: Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner
Caffe
You don’t have to be a connoisseur to appreciate Caffé’s authentic Italian coffee and light, contemporary snack menu. Mornings begin with pastries, gourmet breads and biscotti accompanied by freshly brewed illy, a blend of quality espresso coffee handpicked from nine different growing regions around the world. Later on, the daily menu features healthy options such as the Mediterranean Wrap, the Caprese Salad, fruit, sodas and flavoured iced teas. Location: In Hotel - Main Lobby Services: Breakfast | Lunch
