Opening in October, the recent multimillion-dollar overhaul of the 10,000-square-foot DCOTA (Design Center of the Americas) event space in Dania Beach includes Cay, an 1,100-square-foot, 84-seat restaurant. The design concept’s inspiration was old Key West, by direction of Miami designer Sam Robin, and kitchen and catering operations helmed by Thierry Isambert of Thierry’s Catering and Event Design. The menu features classic Florida cuisine and fresh seafood, which can be served at private events using the 2,000-square-foot catering kitchen. The entire DCOTA event space can host seated affairs for 350 guests or cocktail receptions for 500.
