Notable newcomers include Niven Patel's Orno at the Thesis Hotel in Coral Gables and Eileen Andrade's Barbakoa at the Doral Yard.
It's also that time of the year when Knaus Berry Farm opens for the season, and Trader Joe's has opened a location in Coral Gables.
Finally, Little Havana's Ball & Chain has finally reopened after a year of closure.
The coming months will be filled with reasons to rejoice, as several beloved establishments have announced their returns: All Day, Old Greg's Pizza, Mai-Kai, Eating House, Boxelder, and Sunny's Someday Steakhouse are all scheduled to reopen in some fashion.
Boxelder in Wynwood, meanwhile, has closed — though Adam Darnell, will open Offsite in partnership with Steve Santana (Taquiza) in the coming weeks.
