In a defining moment for South Florida's dining landscape, Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale has proudly secured its place among the culinary elite, earning coveted distinctions from the MICHELIN Guide 2025. Located only 45 minutes from the heart of Miami, this oceanfront haven is now home to two MICHELIN-recognized restaurants, each elevating the city's growing reputation as a must-visit destination for food lovers.
Evelyn’s, the hotel’s signature restaurant led by Executive Chef Brandon Salomon, has been added to the MICHELIN Recommended list, while MAASS, the intimate modern American experience from Chef Ryan Ratino, has earned a prestigious one-star rating. The announcement follows MICHELIN’s expansion into South Florida, shining a spotlight on new culinary destinations—Fort Lauderdale among them.
“These coveted recognitions are a proud moment for our team,” said Mali Carow, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale. “It’s more than a milestone—it’s a defining moment for our city.”
At Evelyn’s, coastal elegance meets Eastern Mediterranean flavors in a setting that mirrors the city’s yachting heritage and sun-soaked charm. Chef Salomon’s passion for storytelling through food shines in every dish, crafted with precision, local ingredients, and creative flair. The result? A MICHELIN Recommended dining experience that captures Fort Lauderdale’s multicultural spirit and breezy sophistication.
“To have Evelyn’s honored is deeply meaningful,” shared Chef Salomon. “This is more than a personal milestone—it’s a celebration of our city’s vibrant culinary identity.”
Meanwhile, MAASS offers an intimate, chef-driven culinary journey that pushes the boundaries of American fine dining. With an immersive chef’s counter, artful presentations, and a hyper-seasonal approach, Chef Ryan Ratino—already celebrated for his MICHELIN-starred work in Washington, D.C.—delivers an extraordinary experience that earned the restaurant one of the few MICHELIN stars awarded this year.
“We’re incredibly honored to receive a star,” said Chef Ratino. “This recognition reflects our entire team’s unwavering dedication and creative spirit.”
This dual recognition marks the first time MICHELIN has awarded accolades to multiple restaurants under one roof in Fort Lauderdale, underscoring the Four Seasons as a leader in the city's ascent as a luxury culinary destination.
Whether you're a Miami local looking for an elevated escape or a traveler seeking your next great gastronomic adventure, the Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale promises a world-class experience—where hospitality meets artistry, and where every bite tells a story.
