Regatta will expand to just under one acre, totaling 42,710 square feet and encompass three large outdoor bars and 412 seats with a total capacity for 981 people seated and standing. The nautical new concept is inspired by the coast and the project itself is meant to resemble the bow of the boat, surrounded by green lawn space for a variety of new entertainment and wellness programming, multiple decks, a walkway to the waterfront, and direct access to the marina and a dockage for boats. The architect behind the project is John Cardello from Cube 3, with finishes designed by Hexecute.

“One of the reasons Regatta is different from our other venues like Carousel Club and The Wharf is because of the uniqueness of the location,” says Emi Guerra, co-founder of Breakwater Hospitality. “We’re creating this venue around the location, and we wanted to create the right experience for the area. It’s a beautiful spot, and we wanted to do something we knew the locals would love. It’s situated directly on the water with sweeping views of the bay, and it’s really paying tribute to our beloved Coconut Grove. While structurally there are some similarities, everything from the food and beverage outlets, the variety of unique new programming, and the finishes and design are different.”
