Finding Hakkasan means wading through the lobby of the Fontainebleau—a historic, if riotous, hotel in Miami Beach swimming with beach bodies and night owls. The restaurant’s signature imperial style is on display, featuring dramatic lights, sleek marble tables and ornate wooden slat dividers. Its clubby beats are a constant reminder that you are never far from the party.
High quality seafood figures prominently on this carte, among a selection of Cantonese classics and contemporary interpretations. Steamed dumplings highlight scallop, shrimp, spinach and crab; while plucky prawns arrive in a delicate curry with almonds and lily bulbs. A satisfying Peking roast duck is served with such usual but delicious trappings as crêpes, hoisin and cucumber slivers.
