The Villa By Barton G.

Have you ever seen a smoking martini, an appetizer that came in a toaster, a pasta dinner served in a wheelbarrow? At Barton G, the martini's are a sight to be seen, as well as their food presentation. The restaurant is trendy and expensive, but totally worth experiencing at least once. As the food and drinks arrived at the tables, jaws dropped and cameras came out. Service is excellent! The restaurant is kid friendly and good for groups. The patio is definitely the place where you want to be seated. If you are wondering about the food portions and if you'll leave hungry, don't worry, the portions are big for a restaurant like this. My mouth is watering just thinking about all the delicious food. Beware, cocktails are strong!

The former home of the late Gianni Versace--he was murdered on the mansion's front steps—Villa by Barton G. is now open to the public as an ultra-luxurious hotel, operated by local event planner to the stars, Barton G. Weiss. Should you be lucky enough to lodge in one of the 10 rooms—each with its own leopard-print and gold-leaf theme—you will enjoy Frette linens, private bathroom spas, and the services of your own butler available at your beck and call 24 hours a day. For those who can't afford the $3,000 a night room rate, a visit to the restaurant is a more obtainable indulgence, with items like foie gras ambrosia and full caviar service on the menu. While you are there, take a walk by the mosaic swimming pool, designed by Versace himself.
