Now Open: From NYC’s West Village to Wynwood, Rosemary’s is bringing Miami a hyperlocal spin on Italian cuisine. The new restaurant in the middle of Wynwood’s concrete jungle has its own on-site garden, made for more than lush outdoor seating (though we’re loving that part too). The garden also grows ingredients like produce and herbs for Rosemary’s seasonal dishes. Read the full rundown on Rosemary’s Miami.
Sushi Speakeasy: The roving omakase experience from Gold Standard Sushi has made its new home at the historic Bath Club in Miami Beach. After debuting over five years ago at the Versace Mansion, the pop-up sushi speakeasy has made seasonal stints at exclusive locales across Miami — its latest being the equally opulent setting of the Bath Club’s private Parlor Room with only 10 seats. The experience begins with a welcome of sparkling wine or Japanese whisky, and the evening unfolds with 16 courses of nigiri and sashimi starting at $165 per person.
A Mexican Moment: Miami is having a Mexican cuisine moment with two new hot spots: Bistro 8 and Ensenada. Located in Little Havana, Bistro 8 comes to us from the same team behind the casual Taco Stand and its omakase speakeasy Hiden. It’s a colorful spot with Mexican comfort food crafted by Pancho Ibanez, formerly of Mexico City’s two Michelin-starred restaurant Pujol. Over in the MiMo District at the Vagabond Hotel, Ensenada is a coastal concept focused on Mexican seafood — from aguachiles and ceviches — and a long list of mezcals.
