The Magic City got two new breweries with the opening of Nightlife Brewing Co. adjacent to Marlins Park and Veza Sur Brewing Co. in Wynwood.
Other notable openings were Jose Mendin's Baja Bao, Lutum, and Etaru in Hollywood.
Major closings included two Spring Chicken locations and Sushi Maki in Brickell.
Miami can look forward to several interesting new restaurants by well-loved Miami chefs. Stiltsville Fish Bar by Janine Booth and Jeff McInnis will soon open in South Beach's Sunset Harbour neighborhood; Michael Schwartz will open Amara at Paraiso in Edgewater; and Jeremy Ford will soon open Stubborn Seed in Miami Beach's SoFi area.
