One of the Mandarin Oriental, Miami’s fine-dining restaurants, La Mar by Gastón Acurio {500 Brickell Key, Brickell; 305.913.3858}, is turning three… and next weekend, it’s inviting all of Miami to celebrate its milestone birthday. 
The festive weekend will kick-off on Saturday, March 18, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., when the restaurant’s recently-opened waterfront lounge, YAKU by La Mar, will offer $3 bar bites and unlimited Pisco Punch Cocktails for just $33. Then, the next day, come back for a special birthday edition of the restaurant’s ever-popular Sunday brunch. During this brunch, pair Executive Chef Diego Oka’s Peruvian specialties—like Plancha Anticuchero, Lomo Saltado and Fried Egg, Jalea Frita, and Pescado Chorillana—with fresh seafood and savory grill stations, Chaufa Aeropuerto for the table, La Mar’s famous “dessert cart,” unlimited brunch cocktails, wines, and Piper-Heidsieck champagne, and of course, live music, decorations and a one-of-a-kind birthday cake.
La Mar by Gastón Acurio hosts brunch every Sunday, from Noon to 3:30 p.m. It is priced at $85 per person. A “Premium Brunch” experience is also available for $120 per person, and includes additional a la carte dishes like King Crab Anticuchero, as well as unlimited Charles Heidsieck champagne.
Happy dining!
