After being seated at the U-shaped bar that takes up most of Semilla Eatery & Bar, a dining companion asked the big question: "Just what the hell is a gastropub, anyway?"

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a gastropub is a "pub, bar, or tavern that offers meals of high quality."

By the above definition, Semilla Eatery & Bar is a true gastropub. It's chef/partner, Frederic Joulin, has worked at Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris and Las Vegas and most recently served as executive chef at Villa Mayfair in Coconut Grove.
