Now Open: After a closure that left us all hankering for the return of one of Miami’s best restaurants, the highly anticipated Itamae AOhas finally opened in Midtown next to sister restaurant Maty’s. A more intimate, interactive iteration of Itamae, the Nikkei-style omakase counter is Nando Chang’s first solo venture, melding Japanese techniques with Peruvian influences. On the menu, expect plenty of seafood in the form of dry-aged fish, sashimi and nigiri, alongside Peruvian bites like anticuchos (skewers) and aguadito (soup). Read about all of the latest restaurant openings on Resy here.
Summer Solstice Celebration: The longest day of the year is almost here! Celebrate the summer solstice with an al fresco meal under the eternal sun at any of Miami’s best outdoor restaurants, or head to open-air rooftop restaurant Fabel Miami for a Summer Solstice Dining Party on June 22 at 7 p.m. (when it will still be bright as day outside!)
Creative Collab: Miss Crispy Rice continues its collaboration series with leading ladies — with its latest installment on June 30 featuring pastry chef-turned-executive chef Dallas Wynne, who now helms Jeremy Ford’s restaurant The Butcher’s Club inside PGA National Resort. She’ll be stepping behind the sushi counter to serve innovative dishes like French Onion Soup Dumplings and Fuc*ing Fancy Crispy Rice topped with foie terrine, ahi tuna, and Florida orange. Seatings will take place at 4:45 p.m., 7 p.m., and 9 p.m. for $135 per person. And check more Resy Events here.
Bistro Happy Hour: “Thomas Keller restaurant” and “affordable fare” might sound like a paradox, but the lively Bouchon Bistro in Coral Gables has launched a new happy hour with food specials and $12 cocktails Tuesday through Sunday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Pull up a seat at the bar — or in the courtyard — because the French bistro’s discounted selection includes oreilles de cochon (crispy pig ears), oysters, charcuterie, and a decadent wagyu cheeseburger, with a beer.
New to the Hit List (June 2024) Caja Caliente, Hometown Barbecue, L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, Miami Slice.
