Tundra's focus is the 15-course tasting menu, a $59 concept that includes kobe beef meatballs, ceviche, potato crusted black grouper, and butter poached lobster. Items are available a la carte, from $5 to $40.
Berman says 3 inch ice spheres shape the cocktail menu. "Their size and density means a colder drink that isn't diluted," he said.
Though Berman emphasizes guests' comfort inside-no parkas necessary- it's cold enough to house ice as sculptures and design elements inside and out.
Berman learned ice sculpture at hotels, says the former executive chef at Broward County Convention Center- with twenty plus years experience at The Westin Copley Place in Boston and The Mayflower in Washington, DC, among others.
Berman's hobby became a passion, which led to his opening Sculptured Ice Creations, the Deerfield Beach-based ice-design company. Eventually, "I couldn't do both: ice design and cooking elsewhere," said Berman, "so I've combined interests with Tundra." Sculptured Ice Creations will supply the restaurant with its ice and sculptures.
