9 New Miami Restaurants To Try Right Now
"The previous version of Itamae in the Design District was our easy answer to the question, “What’s your favorite restaurant in Miami?” Now that the Nikkei spot has transitioned into a 10-seat omakase counter serving a $165 eight-course meal, dinner here is less like a sequel than an entirely new spinoff series. Bass from the hip-hop playlist tickles your scalp while quiet chefs tinker with some of the most interesting food in Miami right now. Expect Itamae’s quintessential delicate seafood swimming in ají-spiked leche de tigre, as well as new inventions like soba noodles covered by a thin veil of minced spot prawn. Whether you’re a little sick of hearing the word “omakase” or you went to the old Itamae once a month, it’ll feel fresh." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
