Miami’s Best Restaurant Resurrections - Miami - The Infatuation

"What it was: The kind of restaurant that celebrated April 20th. The first version of Eating House was a pop-up-turned-restaurant that served the kind of dishes one might attempt to create in a kitchen at 3am. It first opened in 2012—a time when chicken and waffles for dinner, peplum, and Grumpy Cat (R.I.P.) were all popular. But it closed in 2021. What it is now: A more mature version of its old self. It relocated to Giralda Plaza at the end of 2022, ditched the graffiti art, and had the restaurant version of a glow-up. Comparing the old location to the new one is like pitting Parks-and-Rec-Chris-Pratt against action-hero-Chris-Pratt. Dishes on the new menu showcase the restaurant's creativity without going over the top. Overall, things are more subtle now, and we like this new version better." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
