The Best New Restaurants in Miami, March 2025

"Itamae AO, the latest evolution of chef Nando Chang’s acclaimed Nikkei restaurant, has found a new home in the Midtown neighborhood. Housed next door to its sister establishment, Maty’s, this 10-seat counter restaurant is a tribute to the ocean and Chang’s Peruvian-Japanese heritage. The eight-course menu features a rotating selection of dry-aged fish, sashimi, nigiri, and more, with standout dishes like local grouper sashimi with aji limo leche de tigre. The space, designed with natural wood textures and a blue terrazzo countertop, creates a cozy dining atmosphere." - Olee Fowler, Eater Staff
