The month of April saw the opening of Pastis, the much-anticipated French bistro by Keith McNally and Stephen Starr.

Other openings of note include the Rum Room in Miami Beach, Michael Beltran's wine shop, the Allocation Room, and Okeydokey food hall.

April saw the closings of the Design District coffee shop, OTL, Sugar Factory at Aventura Mall, and the temporary closure of Knaus Berry Farm for the season.

In the coming weeks, Miamians can look forward to the opening of Julia & Henry, Vivo! at Dolphin Mall, and the Henry.
