Miami Beach, FL – April 8, 2014 – Miamians get your bellies ready because there’s a new restaurant that is taking South Beach by storm. Think Hotel Group hosted the grand opening of the newest addition to the growing Miami-based hospitality company, Orange Blossom at the Boulan South Beach on Tuesday evening. Conceptualized by hospitality and nightlife guru Tatanka Guerrero, Orange Blossom marries traditional Old Florida influences with the melting pot of Miami’s current day international nuances. Each dish is crafted with the same delicate care and attention to detail that railway passengers came to expect aboard its namesake, The Orange Blossom Special – the most luxurious  train that connected New York to Miami in 1890. Orange Blossom pays tribute to this legacy by creating a warm and inviting social space, a neighborhood gathering spot, where the market-to-table, New American cuisine is highlighted by the specialty craft cocktails. Using only the freshest ingredients, the restaurant locally sources their products from South Florida farmers and fish vendors. In addition to some signature dishes, the menu will be updated seasonally to feature special offerings.
