klawrestaurant.com Entrepreneur Sasha Krilov and restaurateur Misha Zelman have launched a joint culinary venture: Klaw, which recently opened in Edgewater. Here, the duo has breathed new life into the 96-year-old Miami Women’s Club, a five-story structure on the waterfront that was one of the first buildings in Florida to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It’s now home to the only rooftop bar in Edgewater, boasting unobstructed views of Biscayne Bay. Klaw’s concept is high-end surf and turf, including king crab shipped from the Arctic seas of Norway and kept in the restaurant’s bespoke tanks before cooked and cracked tableside. 5:30 p.m. to midnight Wednesday through Sunday.
