Helmed by Chef Venoy Rogers who came to Miami by way of San Diego, Essensia is a dining experience like none other. Essensia embodies the simplicity and elegance of the word that describes it. The word “essensia†is Latin for such terms as “essence,†“whole,†and “substance†and that’s the objective of the natural gourmet dining at The Palms Hotel & Spa in Miami Beach. With an entire seasonally changing menu committed to green principles, Essensia may well be the only restaurant of its kind in Miami. What attracts you to Essensia may be its food, but what makes you stay is its ambiance and well-appointed staff. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted with a smile, and a “pure essence of taste.†So for those looking for a change from the fast-paced Miami food culture, why not seek something different? Something homegrown, sophisticated, but also in style?
