Perched on the 10th floor of the Omni, Tide Coastal Kitchen features an airy design that flows into the bar and lively poolside area. The dining room balances textured, woven high-top seating with crisp banquettes set against warm wooden slatted wall paneling. Art and architecture merge through a wall-mounted installation of hand-blown glass palm frond sculptures, crafted by local Dania Beach artist Rob Stern.

The restaurant’s design takes an immersive turn with an overhead canopy of sculpted tree roots intertwined with cascading green foliage to create an enchanted banyan grove effect. Below the organic ceiling, the space balances high-top woven seating and clean white banquettes against rough-textured limestone walls. A rippled metallic accent wall reflects a cluster of glowing orb lights suggestive of subterranean coastal ambiance.
The centerpiece of the Ibis Sky Lounge, located on the 29th floor of the Omni, commissioned by the EoA Group, is a massive, sculptural tree, locally designed and crafted in Sarasota. This imposing integrated sculpture is adorned with thousands of hanging feather-like, resin-dipped leaves.
The Ibis Sky Lounge stands as the tallest rooftop lounge in Broward County, and offers premium vantage points of the Intracoastal Waterway, the Fort Lauderdale skyline, and the Atlantic coastline.
The design of the lounge blends organic elements with modern luxury, creating a warm, upscale atmosphere. Dark wood-wool textured ceiling panels control sound echo. Recessed LED strips under the bar counter throw soft light downward. Tiered, red feather chandeliers hang near the panoramic windows.
Fair Ketch is a modern, upscale restaurant bar located on the 1st floor of the Omni. The space is highlighted by a large wooden archway framing a stone wall accented by a central row of vibrant blue, custom-designed dome lamps hang over the tables.
EoA custom designed the lush ceiling canopy of faux ferns, set against the spot lit stone wall, to complement the geometric tiled bar illuminated from beneath.
The breezy outdoor dining terrace at Hidden Key is located on the lower levels of the Omni Fort Lauderdale Hotel. The exterior interfaces with the interior lounge area, where several integrated artworks and wall hangings by local artist Erin Bassett can be found, accentuating the connection between modern architecture, natural materials, and the Omni’s nautical thematic.
