After experiencing a week-long closure for renovation, Jasmine Cocktail Bar & Lounge at the Fairmont Southampton opened its doors to the delight and approval of favoured customers and hotel guests.
The restaurant will maintain their ever-popular lounge environment while boasting new furniture and a new sous chef, Gerardo Say Colmenares, who worked to develop the restaurants updated menu, “Cocktails and Cuisine of the Americas” an impressive blend of local favourites and innovative dishes inspired by the Americas. New menu items include the Peruvian Spiced Lamb Meatballs, Bermy Burrito Sandwich, Shrimp Kebabs, Fiesta Platter, Pina Colada Cheesecake, and Bermuda Mai Tai Pitchers. Although creatures of habit will rejoice at the news that the restaurant’s most popular dishes will still be available for order, including popular light bites, burgers and flat bread pizzas.
