New York Based Seafood Restaurant to Open in Miami Beach
Miami Beach will welcome the seafood restaurant Catch in 2023 thanks to the New York-based Catch Hospitality Group.
At 200 South Pointe Drive, the restaurant will take up 22,000 square feet. New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Aspen, Colorado are the current sites of Catch.
The restaurant space at the Continuum is owned by Los Angeles-based Black Lion, and Catch Hospitality, led by partners Tilman J. Fertitta, Mark Birnbaum, and Eugene Remm, negotiated a 15-year lease with Black Lion. The deal’s landlord and renter were both represented by Jeremy Hakala of Newmark’s Miami office.
According to Fertitta, “On the heels of two successful openings on the west coast, we are ready to continue our expansion. Miami Beach has experienced tremendous growth over the last few years, and the city’s evolving dining scene makes it the perfect time to bring our iconic brand to one of the greatest destinations in the world.”
Both indoor dining and a patio with a retractable roof will have an equal number of seats available. The Rockwell Group, based in New York, will create the design.
Steak, sushi, and seafood will all be offered on the menu. Private and semi-private events will be possible to be held at the restaurant.
Other well-known eateries like Prime 112, Carbone, Joe’s Stone Crab, and Milos will be close to Catch.
Black Lion acquired space for a restaurant in September in Miami’s Zaha Hadid-designed condominium One Thousand Museum. For the owner of the commercial property, it was his tenth purchase in South Florida.
Famous NYC Restaurant Rao’s Opening Soon in Miami Beach
The iconic New York City eatery Rao’s, noted for both its exclusivity and its red-sauce cuisine, is establishing a presence in Miami Beach and we can’t be more excited to try it!
The Pellegrino family’s Italian restaurant is slated to launch at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel at 1601 Collins Avenue in the first few months of 2023. Rao’s will be replacing the ground-floor restaurant Lure Fishbar.
The original Rao’s is located in Harlem, New York, and is known for turning away notables due to the difficulty of reserving tables. Rao’s also has a location in Los Angeles and their location in Las Vegas was closed last year. Rao’s is run by Frank Pellegrino Jr. and Ron Straci
Frank Jr. is the 4th generation owner of Rao’s and since his undertaking of the restaurant, he has created a family brand of sauces, pasta noodles, and soups that can be found in your local groceries.
The restaurant recently ran a pop-up at David Edelstein’s W South Beach hotel while shopping for a location to set up shop.
The 790-key hotel is owned by the Tisch family, which is headed by Loews chairman Jonathan Tisch and had housed renowned chef Emeril Lagasse’s eatery.
The most recent New York restaurant chain to open a location in Miami is Major Food Group’s Carbone in South Beach. Since then, the company has had fast growth throughout Miami and in Boca Raton. Additionally, Pastis is anticipated to debut at an Edelstein property in Wynwood.
Locally, other restaurants and hospitality chains like Casa Tua and Cipriani are also growing. The NoMad Residences in Wynwood, developed by Edelstein, Related Group, and Alex Karakhanian, will soon welcome Casa Tua.

Major Food Group does it again with the opening of another restaurant in Coconut Grove and this time, it’s focused on brunch! The restaurant Sadelle’s, which will open mid-December is another New York restaurant that the group has decided to open an additional location in South Florida along with the Italian eatery, Carbone, and ZZ’s Sushi Bar in the Design District.

At the boutique Esmé Miami Beach hotel, a new bistro-style restaurant has opened. Replacing the former Latin Cafe 2000, located at 2501 Biscayne Blvd., Miami Beach, Mimi’s will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner and will incorporate some of the most bizarre combinations yet tasty egg creations you will probably ever eat.
The former chef of Pao at the Faena House in Miami Beach, Benjamin Murray will be taking over as head chef at Mimi’s. According to Murray, “Miami has become a thriving foodie destination…and with Mimi’s relaxed-casual American classics will be the new spot.”
Mimi’s space was designed by CDK Design’s Cindy Kam, which includes an indoor and outdoor floorplan. The scene is set with a cafe bistro style mixed with industrial decor.
The egg creations include Osstera Caviar, which is considered the most prized and extensive caviar in the world. All of the food items will don some version of the Caviar.
