The beloved Wynwood art district is continuing to thrive and has really elevated its game with the arrival of R House. R House is a beautiful new concept that flawlessly intertwines sumptuous cuisine, vibrant art and talented musicians into a serene and gratifying setting.  Chef and owner Rocco Carulli describes it as a “full sensory experience” and he has definitely succeeded in his goal of utter immersion.

The restaurant is alluring, commodious and incorporates vivid and radiant paintings into its motif. It does not feel like a museum, but rather a restaurant with splendid art decor. There is a huge courtyard with outdoor seating and an area for large bands to perform. The food was marvelous and included passed hors d’oeuvres of sweet short rib sliders with caramelized onions, awesome tuna tartare with a hint of wasabi, duck confit spring rolls, goat cheese crostini, and sweet chili skirt steak skewers. There was also a  gourmet buffet that included Brazilian seafood moqueca with ample shrimp and succulent scallops, wild mushroom pesto risotto, futti di mare, pasta with broccolini and parmesan cheese, Israeli couscous with mixed grilled vegetables and a delicious sweet pea falafel with Mediterranean salad.

It was quite an experience dining on delectable cuisine and admiring art while listening to melodic music in the courtyard. It truly was an enjoyable multisensory experience and one which we would gladly partake in again.
