Cecconi’s
A descendant of Cecconi’s in London—itself modeled after the
original
Cipriani in Venice—Cecconi’s Miami will be open to the public, despite
its location inside the members-only Soho Beach House.
The
Italian-inflected cuisine comes from chef Sergio Sigala, who helmed the
kitchen of Casa Tua (4385 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, 786.507.7902).
1500º
Chef—and former Hell’s Kitchen contestant—Paula DaSilva’s seasonal menu
at this new steakhouse in the stately Eden Roc Renaissance hotel is
broken down into small plates and main plates; sides (duck-fat fries,
roasted beets) get just as much attention as the beef, which is charred
under, yes, a 1,500-degree broiler (4525 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach,
305.531.0000).
Wynwood Kitchen & Bar
Megadeveloper Tony Goldman and his daughter Jessica’s new restaurant
in
warehouse-chic Wynwood is wrapped inside and out with art:
The exterior
is covered in murals by Os Gêmeos, Kenny Scharf, and Dearraindrop, and
the interior is 360 degrees of wall art by Shepard Fairey and Christian
Awe. On the tables, meanwhile, chef Marco Ferraro
of Wish in South
Beach offers up American brasserie comforts
(2550 N.W. Second Avenue,
Miami, 305.722.8959).
Sustain
Chef Alejandro Piñero, another Casa Tua alum, turns out
contemporary
American fare at this midtown spot. As befits the name,
the food is
locally sourced and the dining room outfitted with
reclaimed wood and
recycled aluminum
(3252 N.E. First Avenue, Miami, 305.424.9079).
DB Bistro Moderne
Superstar chef and restaurateur Daniel Boulud brings his haute bistro
comforts to Miami for the first time, with his DB Bistro Moderne. The
eatery just opened in the new J.W. Marriott Marquis, whose top three
floors house the Hotel Beaux Arts, a design-oriented boutique hotel with
its own check-in and concierge
(345 Avenue of the Americas, Miami,
305.350.0750).
