It's missing the powered hood that you need when operating a grill under a roof. And it needs to be a minimum of 10' from any part of the structure, with no wood anywhere near the fire. No shades or window treatments at all. None. Tops should be non porous natural stone. No concrete, no quartz, nothing light colored and porous that will stain.

Everything else pretty is personal preference.

Minardi, some of your statements are not correct for FL.

Here in FL with block construction and stucco there is no code that the grill has to be 10 ft from any part of the structure. The grill can be right up against any of the block walls. You are required to have a vent hood if it is under the lanai roof.

These meet FL code:

If you remove the screens, where are you going to eat? Might it work better to put the outdoor kitchen outdoors and leave the screened in porch alone?

An outdoor kitchen needs to be outdoors not in a porch with a roof IMO I have had for a very long time an outdoor kitchen with a rilebo cover but the grill was not 10' from the house and in all 18 yrs never had an issue but of course did not leave the thing burning when not in use , I think you will need a hood and why those blinds at all?

People still want to grill when it rains and it rains regularly here in FL. People also want to stay out of the strong FL sun when it isn't raining. Having the grill under the lanai roof works well here in FL.

OP, keep it simple and easy to clean.

Perhaps the rendering may not be doing it justice. Although you mentioned wanting neutral, the space could end up feeling drab overall, especially with the flooring as well. I like the design‘s components below: black counter/simple finish on the front, lots of stainless, and even consider the celling application.

Love this. Hope you do too.

The screens in the rendering are just from the contractors rendering. They won’t be there it will be completely open.

@Maureen I do agree with your “it could look drab” and boring. We’re leaning towards a contrasting façade with a somewhat neutral countertop that complements the floors. Something like this maybe.

Let me know what you guys honestly think. You won’t hurt my feelings :)

I suggest you put in a reasonable size single bowl kitchen sink. We have done two outdoor kitchens and I always make sure that my other half can do all his clean up outside and not bring greasy grates/outdoor pans etc into my kitchen. We also put a garbage disponal outside. It won’t be warranted but we are on year 10 of our current one. We have two primo grills in our current kitchen on exterior walls. We have a ceiling fan that we can make make directional to push the smoke outside.

Since you say your feelings wont be hurt ... to me the Travertine is from the era of the Brown and faux Tuscan/Mediterranean trends and your gray paint color is from the Gray Trend that lasted around 12 years, but has been out for around 4 years.

When I looked to buy in FL in 2019 we saw a lot of this older Travertine that they tried to "update" with gray. It doesn't really work and you end up with pink and blue undertones next to each other. Since then most of those houses have had the gray colors repainted with warm whites to better complement the existing Travertine.

Unless your house is truly contemporary, I would be careful going too contemporary with any finishes, indoor or outdoor. Also be careful what colors you match up with your "pink" Travertine. It might be called "ivory", but it isn't.
