Description

Three culinary icons. One coastal escape reimagined. Set within the stunning ambiance of Yaya Coastal Cuisine — where Mediterranean elegance meets Miami’s coastal vibrancy — this one-night-only dinner invites you to indulge in a menu crafted by three powerhouse talents: Robert Irvine, Amanda Freitag, and Todd Zimmer.

Robert Irvine, the globally recognized chef and host of Restaurant: Impossible, brings bold, mission-driven cooking and precision execution to every plate.

Amanda Freitag, celebrated Chopped judge, seasoned restaurateur, and beloved culinary mentor, is known for infusing elevated comfort with layers of worldly flavor.

Todd Zimmer, the creative force behind Yaya’s modern coastal philosophy, champions fresh ingredients, sunny flavors, and a refined approach rooted in the Mediterranean.

As they unite in Yaya’s beautifully designed dining room — known for its breezy sophistication and thoughtful service — guests will embark on a multi-course journey highlighting seafood-forward creations, top-tier ingredients, and artful presentation inspired by the coastlines that shaped each chef’s style.

Experience the magic that happens when Miami’s hottest coastal restaurant becomes the stage for three dynamic culinary voices.
