Beauty and the Butcher has arrived in Coral Gables.
The 6,700-square-foot eatery, which opened Dec. 21 at 6915 Red Road, seats 160 customers for dining, with an additional 30 seats at the bar. It employs 50 people.
The concept marks the second restaurant collaboration between chef Jeremy Ford and Miami-based Grove Bay Hospitality Group, which brought the Stubborn Seed eatery to South Beach five years ago.
“We’re excited to once again collaborate with Jeremy to open a new restaurant and bring his talent to Miami’s suburban neighborhoods,” Grove Bay CEO Ignacio Garcia-Menocal said in a news release.
The restaurant’s name is a nod to Ford’s first daughter, Madelynn (the beauty), and himself (the butcher), he said.
The menu includes the dry-aged Japanese yellowtail crudo with winter citrus, dried olive, mint and chervil; crispy Duroc pork belly with pickled cucumber, spiced broth, mint and fennel salsa verde; a local lettuce salad with radishes, house-made yogurt, soft herbs and turmeric vinaigrette; and a truffle tart made with foie gras and green apple, truffles, sunflower and pine nuts.
The restaurant’s drink menu includes both alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails.
Beauty and the Butcher is just Grove Bay Hospitality’s latest restaurant. On July 25, it opened Bayshore Club at the waterfront site where Scotty’s Landing once operated in Miami’s Coconut Grove.
Founded in 2010, Grove Bay Hospitality Group is an award-winning restaurant group. It is led by three partners: co-founders and CEOs Garcia-Menocal and Francesco Balli, and COO Eddie Acevedo.
The Jewel Box building, at 150 N.E. Eighth St. is part of Miami Worldcenter.
Two retailers and a restaurant have joined the tenant roster at Miami Worldcenter, the 27-acre development in downtown Miami.
The $4 billion project’s ownership signed leases with fitness concept Club Studio; popular dining spot Earls Kitchen + Bar; and luxury swimwear brand Luli Fama through Leap, a platform that develops and operates immersive retail stores for modern and emerging brands.
The new tenants will occupy a combined 45,000 square feet of space, which will bring the development’s retail component to about 75% leased.
“Our newest group of exciting retailers speaks to the continued level of interest from brands that see value in having a presence in a mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly, open-air environment in the heart of downtown Miami,” said Nitin Motwani, managing partner of Miami Worldcenter Associates.
Club Studio will occupy about 35,363 square feet of space along Miami Worldcenter’s main pedestrian paseo, while Earls Kitchen + Bar will take 8,400 square feet of space in the “Jewel Box” retail building. Earls has 68 locations throughout North America, including in South Miami and at Dadeland Mall.
Luli Fama, a women’s luxury swimwear and resortwear brand, will operate from a 1,246-square-foot space.
Chef Michael Beltran’s Brasserie Laurel is already open at Miami Worldcenter, and his El Vecino is still to come. Additional dining concepts are slated to include Chicago’s Maple & Ash and Etta restaurants, and Sports & Social, a dining and entertainment venue. National retailer Sephora has opened, and brands set to join it include Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty, Lululemon, Ray-Ban, Posman Books, Bowlero and Lucid Motors.
Miami Worldcenter, one of the largest private development projects in the country, will be home to 300,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and entertainment space. About 255,000 square feet of retail space has now been completed as tenants build out their spaces.
The project is being developed by master developers Miami Worldcenter Associates, led by principal Art Falcone and Motwani, in partnership with California-based CIM Group.
