MYKA, the cult-favorite Greek yogurt ice cream sensation that has taken Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East by storm, has chosen Miami Beach as the site of its first U.S. flagship. Opening December 8, 2025, MYKA will bring its handcrafted, probiotic-rich ice cream to Robert Rivani’s iconic Lincoln Theatre, a landmark at the heart of bustling Lincoln Road.

A Global Phenomenon Arrives in Miami Beach

Founded in Madrid by Natalia Morales and Javier Ezquerro, MYKA has rapidly expanded to more than 175 stores across 16 countries. The brand is best known for creating an entirely new ice cream category: a gourmet dessert made from premium Greek yogurt imported weekly from Greece, blended with pasteurized milk and high-end kefir to preserve the probiotic benefits and creamy texture of traditional Greek yogurt.

Every MYKA location features its own in-house workshop, where fresh ice cream and gourmet toppings are crafted daily. More than 30 toppings—including handmade crumbles, fresh fruit compotes, artisanal granolas, and their signature baklava—allow guests to customize every detail of their dessert.

Authentic Greek Yogurt Ice Cream, Elevated

MYKA’s signature menu includes:

  • Classic Greek Frozen Yogurt made with goat’s kefir
  • Rotating seasonal flavors featuring Mediterranean ingredients
  • Fruit-based sorbets offering vegan and lactose-free options

The result is a nutrient-rich, additive-free dessert with the creamy mouthfeel of traditional ice cream—but with the natural purity and protein content of authentic Greek yogurt. “This flagship is our invitation for guests to experience the soul of Greek yogurt ice cream the way it was meant to be enjoyed,” said Founder Natalia Morales.

A Design-Forward Flagship at the Lincoln Theatre

MYKA’s Miami Beach flagship will debut inside the historic Lincoln Theatre, a space restored and reimagined by developer Robert Rivani, President of RIVANI. The store will showcase a modern Mediterranean-inspired design, using textures and materials meant to transport visitors straight to Greece.

Rivani, known for revitalizing iconic properties and bringing world-class hospitality brands to the U.S., described MYKA’s arrival as part of a larger vision for Lincoln Road: “Introducing MYKA at Lincoln Theatre sets the tone for how we are reimagining Lincoln Road, as a next-generation destination where legacy, culture, and innovation intersect.”

The Miami Beach flagship opens December 8, 2025, offering locals and visitors a first taste of MYKA’s Mediterranean-inspired craftsmanship on one of South Beach’s most historic and recognizable streets.

A new layer of intrigue and luxury is coming to Miami Beach. The h.wood Group—the celebrity-favorite hospitality brand behind culturally influential dining and nightlife concepts across Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and global markets—has announced plans to open a hidden cocktail lounge inside RIVANI Miami Beach. The Tokyo-inspired speakeasy will launch as part of Robert Rivani’s $100 million flagship office redevelopment, further elevating the building’s already world-class amenity collection.

A Secret, Design-Forward Escape in the Heart of RIVANI

Situated on the third-floor amenity level, the intimate lounge will be tucked behind a concealed access door, creating an immersive, transportive experience for guests. The design draws inspiration from the under-the-radar cocktail lounges of mid-century Japan, complete with warm ambient lighting, vintage textures, and curated vinyl that evokes the charm of the Shōwa era.

The h.wood Group Co-Founders Brian Toll and John Terzian describe the venue as intentionally intimate and atmospheric: “Hidden within RIVANI Miami Beach, the concept is crafted to feel like a discovery—intimate, effortless, and made for long nights that turn into mornings. For us, great spaces are driven by atmosphere and connection, and this one captures both through a distinctly Miami lens.”

Elevated Hospitality for RIVANI Tenants

Expected to open in Summer 2026, the speakeasy will serve handcrafted cocktails and elevated small plates in a design-forward space available exclusively to tenants of RIVANI Miami Beach. The lounge will offer private access for tenant events and gatherings, as well as dedicated keyed lockers for storing personal spirits collections—introducing a new level of hospitality, privacy, and convenience to the modern workplace.

Robert Rivani’s Vision for Transforming Office Culture

The hidden cocktail bar reflects Robert Rivani’s continued push to redefine how people work, socialize, and entertain within office environments. As Rivani explains, “We are giving our tenants the ability to entertain like they’re at a private members club in Tokyo, right here in Miami Beach. The h.wood Group has mastered the art of creating spaces that people remember, and bringing their energy and hospitality experience to RIVANI Miami Beach perfectly complements our vision to create environments that redefine how people work, play, and live.”

This collaboration marks the latest milestone for RIVANI Miami Beach, building on recent headlines such as Playboy Enterprises signing on as anchor tenant for its new global headquarters. Designed by the award-winning Rockwell Group, the redevelopment introduces a new Class X standard to South Beach, with amenities including a full-service concierge, valet, Monarch Athletic Club fitness and wellness center, private event venues, and now the h.wood-operated speakeasy.

A New Benchmark in Miami Beach Office Hospitality

With its blend of high design, curated experiences, and members-only exclusivity, the hidden cocktail lounge adds yet another world-class feature to one of Miami Beach’s most ambitious commercial transformations. As RIVANI Miami Beach continues to reshape expectations for luxury workspace environments, the h.wood Group’s upcoming speakeasy brings a sophisticated, culturally rich layer to the building’s evolving identity.

Bagatelle, the French-Mediterranean brand famed for its high-energy, joie-de-vivre dining style, is opening its waterfront outpost at 311 NW South River Drive. The grand opening to the public is slated for Friday, November 21, 2025, based on the venue’s first available reservations shown on the official SevenRooms booking page for Bagatelle Miami River.

Bagatelle’s own venue page now lists address, access by car or boat, contact info, and posted opening hours for the Miami River location—another strong indicator that service commencement is imminent.

Why Bagatelle is such a draw

Founded by Rémi Laba and Aymeric Clémente, Bagatelle blends upscale Mediterranean cuisine with a celebratory, Riviera-inspired atmosphere—think lively dinners that transition into a scene. The brand describes itself as bringing a “French Riviera luxury” spirit to each destination, which has helped cultivate a worldwide following.

Today, Bagatelle Group counts ~15 venues worldwide, with Miami River expanding the brand’s South Florida footprint alongside its established Miami South Beach location. Additional destinations span London, Dubai, St. Tropez, St. Barth, Tulum, Los Cabos, and more, with further openings planned.

Momentum on the Miami River dining scene

The Miami River continues to heat up with high-profile restaurant concepts:

  • Casa Neos debuted in June 2024, adding a multi-level restaurant, beach club, and rooftop to the riverfront lineup.
  • Habibi Miami opened in October 2024, bringing a French-Moroccan supper-club energy to the water’s edge.
  • Looking ahead, Call Me Gaby plans a two-story, ~8,500-square-foot outpost on the river, part of a broader wave of new leases and openings announced earlier this year.

What to expect at Bagatelle Miami River

Expect the brand’s signature Mediterranean-leaning menu and celebratory service culture—arrive by land or by boat, with valet and dock options available. With listed hours that include late-night service and weekend daytime slots, Bagatelle Miami River appears tailored for both lively dinners and long, social weekend sessions.

Bagatelle Miami River Reservations

Early demand is likely to be high. Reservations are now surfacing for Friday, November 21, which we’re treating as the public grand-opening date barring any last-minute changes by the operator. If you’re planning to go opening weekend, consider booking promptly.

Selva Miami Nightclub Set to Open November 15th in Brickell

Selva Nightclub in Brickell Miami

Selva Nightclub in Brickell Miami

Brickell’s nightlife scene is about to reach a new level of sophistication with the highly anticipated opening of Selva Miami, a jungle-inspired nightclub from the internationally acclaimed restaurant brand Amazónico. Following months of speculation and teasers, it has now been confirmed that Selva will officially open its doors on November 15, 2025, at 800 Brickell Avenue, directly above Amazónico Miami.

When news first broke in August, the only detail known was that Selva was expected to open sometime in the fall. With the date now set, excitement is quickly building around what promises to be one of the most talked-about nightlife debuts of the year. The concept, described as “the dark side of the jungle,” aims to bring an immersive, high-energy experience to Brickell—combining lush tropical interiors, global beats, and the refined flair that Amazónico has become known for worldwide.

Selva Miami will occupy the upper level of the Amazónico space, marking the first time the celebrated hospitality group has introduced a standalone nightclub under its brand umbrella. With successful restaurant locations in London, Madrid, Dubai, and Monte Carlo, Amazónico’s Miami outpost has already made a strong impression since opening in September. Now, Selva is set to extend that same energy into the late-night hours, offering a seamless transition from fine dining to full-scale nightlife in the heart of Brickell.

The arrival of Selva represents more than just another club opening—it signals a shift in Brickell’s identity as a round-the-clock destination. Long known for its skyline of luxury condominiums, fine dining, and financial institutions, the neighborhood has increasingly become a hub for social life and entertainment. Until now, however, few venues in Brickell have offered the kind of full-scale nightclub experience typically found in South Beach or Wynwood. Selva’s debut could mark a new era for Brickell, drawing a global crowd of tastemakers, professionals, and nightlife enthusiasts seeking a more elevated experience closer to home.

The design and atmosphere of Selva remain closely guarded secrets, but renderings and brand materials suggest a dramatic, rainforest-inspired aesthetic consistent with Amazónico’s signature jungle motif—only darker, sexier, and more theatrical. Guests can expect world-class DJs, live performers, bottle service, and an immersive environment blending art, sound, and design in true Amazónico fashion. The venue’s location above Amazónico’s three-level restaurant and lounge also suggests a natural synergy between the two experiences, allowing diners to transition effortlessly from dinner to dancing.

For Brickell residents and condo investors, openings like Selva enhance the neighborhood’s lifestyle appeal and reinforce its reputation as Miami’s most complete urban district. A marquee nightlife destination can have ripple effects on nearby real estate, hospitality, and tourism, further energizing the area’s already vibrant scene. The timing is also strategic—Miami’s hospitality market continues to attract global brands eager to establish a presence ahead of major upcoming events, including Art Basel and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

As the countdown to November 15th begins, anticipation is mounting for what could become one of Miami’s most iconic nightlife experiences. Selva Miami is poised to be more than just a club—it’s a statement of how far Brickell has come as a global destination where luxury, lifestyle, and nightlife intersect.

Yamashiro Miami

Yamashiro Miami

The long-awaited opening of Yamashiro Miami is finally here. The legendary Los Angeles restaurant, renowned for its century-old history, Japanese-inspired architecture, and panoramic Hollywood Hills views, officially expands to South Florida with a new location opening Tuesday, October 29, 2025, inside the Gale Miami Hotel & Residences in Downtown Miami. This marks the first-ever expansion of the iconic Yamashiro brand outside California, bringing its unmistakable blend of history, design, and culinary excellence to the heart of Miami’s skyline.

A Legendary Brand Reinvented for Miami

Originally built in 1914, the original Yamashiro Hollywood became a cultural landmark and one of L.A.’s most photographed dining destinations, famous for its ornate pagoda design, koi ponds, and sweeping city views. Its Miami counterpart captures that same sense of magic while introducing a contemporary tropical flair. The new outpost sits atop the 9th floor of the Gale Miami Hotel, overlooking Biscayne Bay and the Downtown skyline. Expect an elegant mix of traditional Japanese aesthetics—bonsai gardens, wooden detailing, and stone lanterns—blended with modern Miami energy and bold architectural lines.

The concept was reimagined by Executive Chef Gustavo Montes and Chef Charbel Hayek, who together have created a menu that fuses Japanese culinary precision with the vibrant flavors and diversity of Miami. Their goal is to bring an “East-meets-Miami” dining experience unlike anything the city has seen before.

Yamashiro Miami bar and restaurant

A Menu That Marries Japanese Craftsmanship and Miami Flavor

The Yamashiro Miami menu features both classic and inventive dishes that showcase the restaurant’s signature balance of artistry and indulgence. Standout offerings include Japanese Fried Chicken (JFC) tossed in spicy gochujang buffalo sauce, the Katsu Sando made with Japanese milk bread and tonkatsu aioli, and a showstopping Wagyu Tomahawk served with bone marrow teriyaki and house pickles. Seafood lovers can look forward to Maine Lobster in miso beurre blanc, Alaskan King Crab with yuzu hollandaise, and Chilean Seabass roasted in mandarin dashi with shiso flower.

Complementing the cuisine is a vibrant cocktail program that honors Japanese mixology traditions while embracing Miami’s tropical flair. Guests can expect drinks such as the Dragon Pearls, Fortune Teller, and Samurai Negroni, alongside refreshing non-alcoholic options like the Yamashiro Creamsicle with yuzu and vanilla foam. Each drink is designed to complement the restaurant’s visually stunning dishes and atmosphere.

Yamashiro Miami outdoor seating

Rooftop Views, Koi Ponds, and Nightlife Energy

Beyond the food, Yamashiro Miami delivers a fully immersive experience. The restaurant’s design pays homage to the original Hollywood landmark with its lush gardens, koi ponds, and tranquil water features, but with a distinctly Miami twist—think tropical greenery, artful lighting, and open-air terraces. The 9th-floor location offers sweeping views of Downtown Miami and Biscayne Bay, positioning Yamashiro among the city’s most striking new rooftop dining destinations.

The venue also promises to be a nightlife hotspot, with live instrumental music, DJ sets, and rotating cultural activations planned throughout the week. Together, these elements make Yamashiro Miami not just a restaurant, but a destination for both dining and entertainment.

Details, Reservations, and What to Expect

Yamashiro Miami officially opens its doors Wednesday, October 29, 2025, and will operate Wednesday through Sunday from 5 PM until late. The dress code is upscale casual or resort chic, in keeping with the venue’s sophisticated ambiance. Located at 159 NE 6th Street, 9th Floor, Miami, FL 33132, the restaurant offers valet parking through the Gale Hotel, along with nearby garage options.

Reservations are strongly encouraged, especially during the opening weeks, as excitement builds around what’s expected to be one of Miami’s most anticipated restaurant openings of 2025. Those seeking the best experience should request terrace seating or tables near the koi pond to enjoy the skyline and ambiance at their fullest.

A Milestone for Miami’s Dining Scene

With its rich Hollywood heritage and elevated Japanese-inspired design, Yamashiro Miami is poised to become one of Downtown Miami’s premier dining destinations. The combination of architectural beauty, culinary innovation, and panoramic rooftop views perfectly captures the spirit of modern Miami—luxurious, multicultural, and unforgettable.

Whether you’re planning a special dinner, entertaining clients, or simply eager to experience one of the most talked-about openings of the year, Yamashiro Miami delivers an experience where Japanese tradition meets Miami glamour. Reservations are now open — and if history is any indication, this will be one of the toughest tables in town to get.
