Biscayne Bay Loses Piano, Gains Restaurant

A table for two the newest Miami sea mystery

Just as the piano bar closed, an Italian restaurant opens.

The sandbar in Biscayne Bay that played host to a grand piano for the past few weeks until it was removed Thursday became the site of a romantic dinner table for two briefly Friday.

A table with a bottle of wine and two chairs with a large statue of a chef were spotted on the now-infamous sandbar Friday morning, setting off yet another sea sand mystery.

The dinner setting was later removed.

While it's unknown who put the restaurant setting there, a Miami teen spilled the beans Thursday, copping to putting the piano on the sandbar back on New Year's Day.

Nicholas Harrington and Julian Kolevris-Roots finally came forward after weeks of speculation about how the 650-pound musical instrument made it out to the sandbar.

Harrington took the piano out to sea as part of a project that he hopes will get him into art school.

By late Thursday, the piano was removed by the father of a 10-year-old kid who wanted to salvage it, setting off a question of who actually owns the piano.
