February might be the shortest month of the year, but it was rich with new restaurant openings.
New standouts include sexy British import Sexy Fish, Yaniv Cohen’s Jaffa in Hallandale, and the return of Regent Cocktail Club and Mandrake.
Luna Park, the Italian-themed food hall in Brickell City Centre, closed this month.
In March, Miami looks forward to two new food halls: Shoma Bazaar and Smorgasburg.
