Aurelian · Fort Myers
The kitchen
An open fire, a seasonal counter, a nightly changing card.
Aurelian Fort Myers reverses the room: the kitchen is the stage. A twenty-eight-seat counter faces the pass, where the day's catch, garden pull, and citrus harvest are plated in front of you. The card changes with the tide.
