Amazónico Opens First U.S. Outpost in Miami | Eater Miami

"Promising the “sexy,” “fun,” “funky,” and “stylish” vibe reviewers associate with the Madrid-based brand, this first U.S. outpost unfolds across three floors dressed in lush, 1970s Rio de Janeiro–inspired decor by Lázaro Rosa Violán, with live bands, DJs, and an open kitchen building what the team calls “an immersive gastronomic journey through the Amazon.” The second floor brings a bar, lounge, and sushi counter; the rooftop bar crowns the space with stunning views of Miami and a lively scene—“as you ascend through the venue, the energy intensifies.” Silva’s menu leans into Brazil with influences from Argentina, China, India, and Nikkei cuisine, featuring arroz chaufa with duck breast, wood-fired seabass, and plenty of steak, plus Miami-specific seafood like Alaskan king crab with Nikkei dressing, black tiger prawns in a coconut bisque, and yellowfin bass in a spicy warm broth. Guests should feel like they’re dining and drinking in a rainforest, with reservations opening September 18 ahead of the Friday, September 26 launch." - Erin Perkins
