If the annual dreaded late-summer slump is bearing down on the Magic City hospitality scene in August, you wouldn’t know it, judging by July’s red-hot restaurant scene.

A whopping list of more than 20 new restaurants welcomed their first patrons last month, from the grand opening of celebrity chef David Myers’ Adrift Mare in Brickell to Guy Fieri’s brand-new indoor/outdoor Chicken Guy! at Dadeland Mall.

A few familiar places got facelifts. Miami Beach saw one of its food halls receive a reboot, as the former Time Out Market Miami space relaunched as South Beach Food Hall. There was also the long-awaited reopening of Biscayne Bay Brewing Co. as downtown Miami’s first brewery and the debut of a second Las Viñas BBQ restaurant on the site where Hialeah’s La Palma previously operated.

One rather momentous farewell to report is the July 31 closing of Osteria Morini, the New York-based Italian restaurant at the Kimpton Hotel Palomar South Beach. Williamsburg import Shelter, which opened a Wynwood location in 2021, also shuttered its doors this month.

With Miami Spice and its 280-plus roster kicking off as usual on August 1, there’s plenty of reason to get out there and enjoy the city’s best spots – new and old – before the season sets in.
