Jaya at The Setai

Some call it the best-of-the-best when it comes to brunching in Miami Beach. The Caviar & Champagne bottomless brunch at Jaya at The Setai Miami Beach hotel is a two-hour affair that’s totally worth the splurge. The experience features a caviar station with all the accompaniments, Peking duck, premium grilled steak, fish and a seafood tower with every high-end delicacy imaginable.
