As part of its ongoing networking series, Haute Media Group hosted industry leaders at the upscale Mediterranean restaurant TUR Kitchen in Downtown Coral Gables.

TUR kitchen welcomed guests at an outdoor patio behind the bar. The delightful outdoor area is tastefully furnished with modern seating and tables and decorated with enough plants to make you question whether the event was in an exotic location miles away. The setting was ideal, thanks to several ceiling fans and pleasant ambient music while guests enjoyed refreshing wines and hors d’oeuvres.

Name tags signaled that guests would enjoy a lovely Mediterranean cuisine experience. The waiting staff presented the dinner in a family style and began with an offering of appetizers to set the tone. Full Medames, Turkish Manti, and freshly roasted squid raised eyebrows as guests settled into the evening.
