Welcome to the Miami Design District
The Miami Design District is a neighborhood dedicated to innovative fashion, design, architecture and dining experiences. Where culture happens! Our flagship restaurant has been part of its growth along the way, since opening in 2007. Now known for its sleek modern architecture, fashion and lifestyle boutiques and public art dotting the area including the Fly’s Eye Dome, a geodesic dome designed by inventor Buckminster Fuller. In addition to the Institute of Contemporary Art, our neighbors include two other The Genuine Hospitality Group restaurants — Palm Court’s Ella Pop Café and the original location of Harry’s Pizzeria, our cool outlier on North Miami Avenue for chef Michael Schwartz’s wood fired pizzas and a menu of colorful salads, snacks and entrées to enjoy with it.

MICHAEL’S GENUINE PROVISIONS
We’ve grown a lot in the past 12 years and our menu changes daily, but not much has changed! It’s about delicious food presented in a straightforward way. With a year round growing season in Miami to work with, we cultivate relationships with local farms and sometimes source product that we can’t find nearby. Local seafood is really important to us, and we work with our network of fisherman to flow with the seasonality of our fisheries — sourcing black grouper, spanish mackerel and Florida stone crab when we can and give a platform for lesser known species that are delicious in their own right, like black fin tuna, tilefish, and tripletail.
Our approach to making things taste and look great is to see what we can take away, not add. It’s not about using a bunch of different sauces, rather finding a balance in contrasting textures, colors and temperatures.
Chef de Cuisine Dillion Wolf, embraces this approach as his own. He’s always looking for new ways to incorporate local product on the menu and spends time with the team at pre-shift meetings to taste and talk about new dishes and what makes them special.
