Miami’s restaurant scene was brightened in November by the much-anticipated return of chef Brad Kilgore to Wynwood. Kilgore opened MaryGold’s at the Arlo Wynwood hotel, along with Bar Lab’s Gabe Orta and Eli Zvi.
Other notable openings include Aba, the first Miami-area restaurant by Chicago’s Lettuce Entertain You; and a Fort Lauderdale outpost for Fireman Derek’s.
Sadly, Miami also said goodbye to Dogfish Head Brewery and Vicky’s House. The upside: Vicky’s House will be replaced with Victoria’s Vinos & Vermouths, a chic 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.
