Other notable openings embody Aba, the primary Miami-area restaurant by Chicago’s Lettuce Entertain You; and a Fort Lauderdale outpost for Fireman Derek’s.
Sadly, Miami additionally mentioned goodbye to Dogfish Head Brewery and Vicky’s House. The upside: Vicky’s House will probably be changed with Victoria’s Vinos & Vermouths, a classy little wine bar in Coconut Grove.
In December, look out for chef Michael Beltran’s Brasserie Laurel, opening at Miami WorldCenter and Noma Beach at Redfish by Donatella Arpaia.
