Setai executive chef Mathias Gervais took a simple, classic approach to menu changes at the hotel’s two restaurants.For a while, Miami restaurants were obsessed with combining different cuisines and taking a fusion approach to dining.

It seems like everything about opening a restaurant is difficult. You have to come up with a concept and a location. Then you have to get funding (all of those schmancy forks and glassware are expensive) and hire staff. Finally, just as you open the doors to the public, you…

Pizza Pazza, a Neapolitan-style pizzeria on 18th Street at Biscayne Boulevard, is just shy of celebrating its two-month anniversary, yet it already has repeat customers — including ones straight from Naples, Italy.

If you frequented the now-defunct El Rey del Chivito, you should know there’s a new king in town. Chivitoteca recently took over the North Beach space. It has kept most old menu items, added new ones, and dropped some prices. The word chivito literally translates to “little goat,” but that’s…
And now for the New Times edition of “celebrities are just like us.” Just like us, celebrities find themselves hungry. And even though they must have tremendous pressure to look better than us mere mortals (your mother might say you need to lose a few pounds, but at least you…
An inky, flooded road skirts the edge of a trailer park on Stock Island, a square mile swath of land just east of Key West. Two men in rubber overalls stomp through the water, sheets of rain smacking their bright-orange suits. They head toward Hogfish Bar & Grill, a rickety…

Andrew Zimmern had been sitting all day. On a recent wind-lashed afternoon, while his film crew prepped the outdoor set at Wynwood’s Blue Starlite Drive-In, Zimmern sipped a Starbucks Frappuccino and yearned to stretch his legs. Earlier that day, he had taken an airboat ride across the Everglades, hunted for…

At this point in the month, you’ve probably broken nine out of ten of your new year’s resolutions.

Because the restaurant continued serving meals during the process, there was no major overhaul…

Little Havana is underrated. But there are some who recognize the neighborhood’s potential: it’s centrally located, minutes away from Brickell, the Grove, South Beach, downtown, and Wynwood, and it’s also picturesque and not overrun with Sally Jesse Raphael spectacles and lumberjack beards. We guess Mr. Yum’s proprietor realized that offering…
Many sweet tooths ached when Icebox Cafe bid adieu to its home of 15 years right off Lincoln Road. But judging by the crowds at their larger and swankier eight-month old Sunset Harbour location, the recovery period has been painless. Initially unsettled by the the idea of moving, it wasn’t…
