Kris Wessel's new South Beach restaurant, Oolite, is open and we stopped in for a peek and a cocktail.

Large signs outside the restaurant, located in the former Cooper Avenue space just off Lincoln Road, give a June 19 opening date, but the bar is open now at 6 p.m. (Earlier if there's a World Cup game.)
