Galentine’s Day is officially having its main-character moment, and Amara at Paraiso Galentine’s Day celebrations are giving Miami girls exactly what they want: gorgeous waterfront views, crave-worthy bites, and customizable martinis made for clinking glasses with your favorite people. This Friday, February 13th from 5 p.m. to close, Miami’s iconic bayfront restaurant by James Beard Award–winning chef Michael Schwartz is hosting a one-night-only ‘Girl Dinner’ experience

inspired by the viral social media trend, and yes, it’s as fun and fabulous as it sounds.

Set against sweeping views of Biscayne Bay, Amara at Paraiso transforms Galentine’s Day

into a chic, shareable celebration of friendship, flavor, and feminine energy. Whether

you’re single, coupled, or somewhere delightfully in between, this is

your sign to rally the group chat and make it a night.

Celebrating Galentine’s Day at Amara at Paraiso

If your ideal Galentine’s Day includes oysters, fries, martinis, and a little luxury without breaking the bank, Amara understands the assignment. The Girl Dinner for Two, priced at $72, delivers an elevated prix-fixe menu designed for sharing, snacking, and sipping—because girls don’t gatekeep good food.

The menu highlights some of Amara’s most-loved dishes, each bringing bold Latin-inspired flavors and coastal flair to the table:

• Oysters topped with caviar, served with classic mignonette and aji panca cocktail sauce

• Fresh Florida stone crabs paired with mustard aioli

• Tuna tostada with lime, cilantro, and creamy avocado

• Yuca cheese puffs topped with parmesan and shaved truffles

• French fries, because no Girl Dinner is complete without them

It’s indulgent without being overwhelming, playful yet refined, the perfect balance for a girls’ night that feels elevated but effortless.

Build Your Own Martini: The Real Galentine’s MVP

Because no Galentine’s Day is complete without cocktails, Amara at Paraiso’s Beverage Director Amanda Fragacurated a Build Your Own Martini experience for an additional $10. The result?

A choose-your-own-adventure cocktail moment that’s as customizable as your group chat opinions.

Guests can tailor their martinis with:

• Spirit of choice: UNA Vodka, Basque Gin, Amaras Mezcal, Low ABV Gin, or Tito’s Vodka

• Vermouth preference: none, 50/50, Vesper-style, Fino Sherry, and more

• Olive brine level: dirty, extra dirty, or filthy

• Garnishes: blue cheese stuffed olives, lemon twist, pickled onions, thyme, or orange bitters

• Method: shaken, stirred, or “make it skate”

Notably, the James Beard Awards named Amara at Paraiso a semifinalist for Outstanding Wine and Other Beverages Program, making this martini moment not just fun, but award-worthy.
