Quite a few restaurant doors opened and closed in April. We had some surprises like the quiet opening of Michelle Bernstein’s new cafe/bakery in the atrium of the building across from Sra. Martinez and the arrival of La Sandwicherie to Brickell. In closings, chef Allen Susser closed his namesake Aventura restaurant after 25 years; Vino e Olio abruptly closed its doors when its chef Andrea Menichetti jumped ship; and Sake Blue Asian Kitchen & Bar closed in what seemed like the blink of an eye (the restaurant opened February 1). Here are notable restaurant openings and closings for April (and those not included in our March round-up).
