’Tis the season for celebrating—and Mandarin Oriental, Miami {500 Brickell Key, Brickell; 305.913.8358} is giving us yet another reason to do just that on Wednesday, December 16, in honor of the birthdays of Chef Benjamin Murray of Azul and Chef Diego Oka of La Mar by Gastón Acurio.

Guests who dine at either restaurant on this special date will enjoy a complimentary glass of bubbles with dinner when wishing the chefs a happy birthday. In keeping with the celebratory spirit, the chefs will visit tables during their toast.

Additionally, the restaurants are offering the “ultimate birthday dining experience.” For $55 per person, diners will start their evening at Azul with a delicious Gyoza and Beef Tartare, served with a glass of bubbles. Then, they will be escorted to La Mar for the signature Peruvian King Crab Causa, Grouper Chorrillana, and a dessert of Peruvian Chocolate Mousse.

Celebrating in December—no matter the occasion—never does get old.
