The restaurant remained opened during the remodeling. Construction occurred in stages over a six-week period with the work taking place during off house to minimize the impact on guests.
The front entrance was completely renovated and now features an LED back-lit marble and glass enclosure with an authentic five-foot-wide sea fan and new tile flooring.

The cantina and lounge space was relocated. The renovation included more seating for a total of 65 and more views of the ocean for guests. A brand new 65-foot bar features mother-of-pearl inlay and a custom top made from Koa wood. A tequila display was added to the back wall of the bar. The renovation also included adding a refrigerated wine room with custom racks that hold 800 bottles of wine. As part of the cantina relaunch, Las Brisas has introduced a new cocktail menu.
