The quintessential Miami Waterfront restaurant from
James Beard Award-winning Chef and restaurateur, Michael Schwartz.

Waterfront dining at Paraiso Bay

AMARA resides two blocks east of Biscayne Boulevard off 31st Street, offering the public unimpeded access
to its entrance with street and valet parking. The 4,500 square foot indoor-outdoor space designed by
Meyer Davis Studio celebrates the natural beauty of its surroundings incorporating the tropical waterfront environment. The restaurant includes main dining room and bar seating for 150 with floor to ceiling windows offering
dramatic Biscayne Bay views, as well as deck seating for 70 on the water. The approach is warm and inviting,
drawing the outside in with white-washed paneling, natural woods, and graphic concrete tiles.
