La Côte at Fontainebleau is that rare poolside spot where the ocean breeze, elevated flavors, and genuinely warm service come together to create a transportive lunch experience. It’s effortlessly chic—open-air Mediterranean vibes with upbeat music, stylish crowds, and a buzz that makes you want to linger just a little longer.
