Gibraltar At Grove Isle Hotel & Spa Hosts 31 Proposals This Valentine’s Day

Feb. 14, 2011 - PRLog -- Gibraltar at Grove Isle Hotel & Spa, the romantic destination for waterfront dining featuring spectacular views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline, has revealed that it will host 31 marriage proposals this Valentine’s Day.

The private island retreat, tucked within 20 lush palm-peppered acres, is no stranger to playing cupid throughout the years.  Being a good luck charm for hopeful romantics, the restaurant has witnessed only one “no” within the numerous proposals that have taken place on the property. Many times, the panoramic views of the romantic oasis draw the couples back to the site to host their nuptials as well.

The prix-fixe menu that will create long-lasting memories, appropriately named the “Romance Menu,” consists of a four-course offering and a bottle of champagne for the price of $185.00 per person (tax and gratuity not included).
