RIVER YACHT CLUB & DASHI 401 SW 3rd Avenue, Miami

WATERFRONT DINING lthough there are multiple fine dining restaurants in Miami and Miami Beach, there are not that many waterfront alternatives to choose from. River Yacht Club and Dashi provide a unique dining experience at a waterfront venue located in the heart of the historic Miami River District that includes two fine dining establishments, a beautiful outdoor garden and lounge, and a marina. RYC is a lifestyle destination that brings together gastronomy, live entertainment, maritime activities and art in an urban environment where you can enjoy delicious waterfront dining accompanied by craft cocktails and beautiful yachts going by on the Miami River. If you enjoy brunch, RYC has also made its mark in Miami's culinary scene with its very popular Sunday Brunch party "Rock My Boat Sundays" featuring some of Miami's favorite DJs and a nice selection of mouth-watering dishes.

"OUR RESTAURANT IS A WATERFRONT, OUTDOORS OASIS. IT'S A STUNNING, FUN ADDITION IN MIAMI. THE CULINARY ASPECT IS PROGRESSIVE BUT NOT AGGRESSIVE. IT'S A PLACE THAT EASILY DEFINES WHAT MIAMI IS TO ANYONE COMING IN TOWN." - CHEF JUN HEE LEE

8 WIREMAG.COM #35 2017

RYC has built a loyal following based on its dedication to simple clean flavors and good technique. RYC's seafood-centric fare is comprised of crudos, tiraditos, and simply grilled fresh seafood, proteins and fresh vegetables. Upon arrival for my Miami Spice dinner with my friend Zach Roof, we were promptly escorted to a very nice waterfront table. I decided to whet my appetite with the El Capitan craft cocktail with Zacapa Rum, guava, fresh basil, a squeeze of lemon, and topped with Champagne. For my appetizer, I enjoyed the Salmon Crudo with orange dressing, horseradish cream and seaweed. I also sampled Zach's very flavorful Kalua Pork Belly with pineapple, radish salad and micro herbs. My entrée was the Skirt Steak with caramelized shallots, mashed potatoes and shisitto peppers. Zach chose the Pan-Seared Snapper with black lentils, tomato-onion relish, and plantain chips. For dessert we had a lovely selection from RYC's pastry chef, which I complemented with the New Waterfront cocktail with Don Julio tequila, passion fruit nectar, jalapeño, cilantro, fresh lime and sumac spiced rim.

I also enjoyed the Miami Spice dinner at Dashi, the latest addition to RYC. Dashi operates as a stand-alone restaurant within RYC. Chef Shuji Hiyakawa, a protégé of Iron Chef Masahuru Morimoto and a descendant of three generations of Udon makers, oversees Dashi's culinary operations. Dashi is the perfect complement to RYC's stunning waterfront setting and provides diners with an innovative menu very much in harmony with RYC's seafood-centric menu of crudos, tiraditos, and simply grilled seafood, proteins and fresh vegetables. I chose the Cha-Soba Salad as my appetizer. My entrée was a masterfully prepared Seafood Udon, which I followed with a Green Tea Ice Cream for dessert. I also enjoyed an American Samurai cocktail with Woodford Reserve bourbon, yuzu juice, dry vermouth, a splash ginger ale, and lemon orange peel.

"WE ARE PROVIDING A UNIQUE OUTDOOR DINING EXPERIENCE USING LOCAL INGREDIENTS WHILE CELEBRATING SOME OF THE SOUTH AMERICAN INFLUENCES. WE USE MANY LOCAL FRESH FISH AND PRODUCE." - CHEF JUN HEE LEE

After enjoying my dining experiences at River Yacht Club and Dashi, I sat down with RYC's Executive Chef Jun Hee Lee to learn more about this unique waterfront fine dining destination. Rafa Carvajal: Where are you from and why did you decide to work as a chef in Miami? Chef Jun Hee Lee: I am originally from South Korea. I spent some time in Vegas before Michael Mina opened Stripsteak at the Fontainebleau and asked me to join his team, which is why I moved to Miami. RC: Tell our readers about your culinary background. JHL: I was born and raised in Korea until the age of 28. I then moved to the United States and graduated from the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. My culinary background is modern-Asian influenced Euro cuisine. RC: What are the top three experiences from your background that you would like our readers to know about. JHL: I was born in Korea and received my Bachelors of Art degree in both advertising and journalism. I was an editor in local newspaper for a few years before I found my passion for cooking. During my time in culinary school in San Francisco, I was given the opportunity to work with Chef Charlie Trotter. Under Trotter's guidance, I was able to hone in on my passion of fine, modern cuisine. I worked under the direction of Joel Robuchon for over eight years at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. I climbed the ladder until I was promoted to chef de cuisine. During my time with Robuchon, we were proudly awarded one Michelin star.

RC: How is the culinary scene in Miami different from that of other cities you have worked in as a chef? JHL: In my opinion, the Miami culinary scene is still behind compared to the West Coast and New York. My biggest challenge here is finding quality cooks.

"I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO PARTICIPATE IN MIAMI SPICE SO THAT EVERYONE CAN HAVE ACCESS TO THE HIGH-CALIBER CUISINE WE ARE PRODUCING." - CHEF JUN HEE LEE

PHOTOS BY PAUL STOPPI. PROVIDED BY RIVER YACHT CLUB & DASHI

RC: What type of cuisine can diners enjoy at your restaurant? JHL: We are providing a unique outdoor dining experience using local ingredients while celebrating some of the South American influences. We use many local fresh fish and produce. I would say we are a modern American cuisine. RC: What are the most popular dishes at River Yacht Club? JHL: Our seafood dishes are always the most popular. For summer our most popular dishes are the Spicy Tuna Tartare and Salmon Crudo; people want something light and refreshing in this weather. RC: Do you have any personal favorite dishes? Which ones? JHL: Every dish is my creation so it is really hard to pick just one! RC: Tell our readers about River Yacht Club's cocktail program. JHL: River Yacht Club features an extensive wine and cocktail list, which includes private label 'River Yacht Club Rosé,' a blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah from an estate in Côtes de Provence. RC: Which dishes are you offering in your Miami Spice menu? JHL: Fresh Mixed Salad, Kalua Pork Belly and Salmon Crudo are the choices for appetizers; Skirt Steak, Risotto with summer vegetables, and Key West Yellowtail Snapper for the choice of entrée; and dessert is a pastry chef selection. RC: How did you choose your dishes for your Miami Spice menu? JHL: I find our guests here at RYC love our fresh seafood, so we gave them something they want. RC: Why do you think it is important to participate in the annual Miami Spice program? JHL: I think it's important for us to participate in Miami Spice so that everyone can have access to the high-caliber cuisine we are producing. Summers can be rough on restaurants here in Miami as we all know, and we want to make sure we stay relevant with our local guests.

10 WIREMAG.COM #35 2017

RC: Is there anything else you would like to share with Wire Magazine readers about your culinary skills or dining at River Yacht Club? JHL: Miami is going through a culinary renaissance and, although we have a long way to go, River Yacht Club is a perfect example of pushing that envelope. We are located in the hottest area of Miami – Miami River – and we are committed to delivering a memorable experience from the moment you walk in the door. Our restaurant is a waterfront, outdoors oasis. It's a stunning, fun addition in Miami. The culinary aspect is progressive but not aggressive. It's a place that easily defines what Miami is to anyone coming in town.

I started my Miami Spice dinner with a fabulous Steam Bouillabaisse with 'nduja, chickpeas, smoked tomato broth and filone. I also enjoyed the other appetizer, the Duck Pastrami Salad with shaved brussels, date vinaigrette and toasted almonds. I love steak, so my entrée was the Char Broiled Jackman Ranch Bistro Steak with bone marrow chimichurri. The other Miami Spice entrée was the Grilled Diver Scallops with truffle veloute, paddle fish caviar and charred corn. For dessert, I really enjoyed the Peanut Butter Chocolate Mousse with banana ice cream.

The other two appetizers were Calamares Fritos (fried calamari) with carrots in escabeche and escabeche alioli; and Burrata with candied pumpkin seeds, balsamic-vanilla and chipotle reduction. As my entrée, the Chuletón al Pastor pork chop in adobo sauce with pineapple, cilantro and onion was excellent.

ESTEFAN KITCHEN

140 NE 39th St., Suite 133, Miami Design District iami's most iconic contemporary family launched a new venture this year and it has already drawn attention from around the world – most notably, the foodie world. International superstars Emilio and Gloria Estefan opened Estefan Kitchen, a new fine-dining Cuban restaurant in the Miami Design District. With Estefan Kitchen, the renowned Miami tastemakers collaborated for the first time with their longtime friend Craig Robins, CEO and president of DACRA, to open in the District. Chef Odell Torres showcases the cuisine of the Estefan's native Cuba with bold flavors and locally sourced ingredients. The menu offers reimagined versions of traditional Estefan family recipes, with dishes such as Lechón Flatbread, Lechón Crispy Moros, Vaca Frita, Braised Short Ribs and Paella. I started my Miami Spice dinner with the Pan con Tomate y Chicharrones, toasted cuban bread with sofrito and crispy pork belly; and the Naranjita craft cocktail with Grey Goose Orange, muddled orange and mango mix and Peach Schnapps. My entrée was the Cuban Risotto with creamy valencia rice, queso blanco and sweet plantain, topped with shredded flank steak. I also considered the Lechón Asado award-winning traditional slow roasted pork, marinated in Cuban criolla sauce, topped with grilled onions, mojo and served with moro rice and yucca as my other choice. For dessert, I enjoyed the Arroz con Mango classic rice pudding with a layer of mango puree, topped with mint meringue. Photos provided by Estefan Kitchen

LIGHTKEEPERS

455 Grand Bay Dr., Key Biscayne Waterfront Dining

ightkeepers, the casually elegant restaurant and bar at The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne in Miami, is located just off the island's gorgeous ocean waters. Lightkeepers features a contemporary, coastal-inspired dining room, a cool, casual indoor/outdoor bar and a beverage program featuring unique, hand-crafted cocktails. The menu, crafted by Executive Chef Raul A. Del Pozo, relies on locally sourced ingredients – cheeses from Winter Park, beef from Ocoee and snapper from Key West. "Locally grown and caught ingredients are key to the quality and diversity of the menu," says Del Pozo. "We use modern cooking techniques and charcoal and wood burning Josper ovens to enhance flavors." Named as an homage to the lighthouse keepers who watched over Key Biscayne's historic Cape Florida Lighthouse in the 1800s, Lightkeepers is a premier waterfront dining and imbibing destination for locals and visitors alike. The appetizers for my Miami Spice dinner with Michael Bustamante, were Lamb and Chorizo Empanadas with olive, raisin and pimiento; Oysters on The Half Shell based on the chef's daily selection of East Coast oysters; and Beets and Burrata with roasted and raw beets, local burrata, heirloom cherry tomatoes, foraged mushrooms and pumpkin oil. For our entrées we selected the Florida Snapper with heirloom bean, white asparagus salad, gremolata and fresh citrus; and the Josper Roasted Flank Steak with roasted and truffled marbled potatoes and blistered tomato cluster. Dessert was a lovely Papaya and Passion Fruit Pavlova with coconut sorbet.

For my entrée, my options were the Sushi Platter chef's selection; Snapper with mediterranean lentil salad, saffron and lime; and Bavette Steak with caramelized cipollini and miso butter sauce. Desserts were Lure's Signature Key Lime Pie with graham cracker, whipped cream and white chocolate, and Water Chocolate Cake with green tea ice cream and chocolate crumb.

MEAT MARKET

ean-Georges Vongerichten brings his unique twist on Italian classics to Market at EDITION, a full-service 4,600 square-foot restaurant and patisserie, which serves eclectic, international fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Inspired by the great century-old markets in Madrid and Barcelona, Market at EDITION has become a dining destination for locals and hotel guests alike. Chef Jean-Georges presents three distinctive environments, united by a love for locally sourced ingredients, vibrant flavors and vivid textures. Market at EDITION is ideal for a morning coffee, a bite to take to the beach or a delicious meal to enjoy with great company. Additional features include a raw bar, a cheese and charcuterie station, freshly baked bread and sweets at the pastry pod, and wood-fired pizzas and grilled entrées. A large outdoor terrace offers café seating overlooking Collins Avenue, outfitted with potted tropical plants, custom teak tables, and imported Parisian woven bistro chairs. My friend Haven Thorn and I chose the Daily Selection of East/West Coast Oysters; and the Burrata with heirloom tomatoes, basil and sourdough bread as our appetizers. For our entrées, we enjoyed a very yummy Black Truffle and Fontina Pizza; and the Rigatoni and Meatballs. For dessert, we opted for the Chocolate Marshmallow Cake; and the Ice Cream Sundae with salted caramel ice cream, candied peanuts, candied popcorn, whipped cream and chocolate sauce.

estaurateur David Tornek's Meat Market, the contemporary South Beach steakhouse, in conjunction with acclaimed Chef Sean Brasel, both formerly of Touch, has proven to remain a bustling hotspot for celebrities, local foodies and Miami Beach's trendsetters. This foodie favorite 4,400 square-foot, 180-seat indoor/outdoor restaurant is a truly contemporary steakhouse, boasting a sophisticated ambiance sizzling with New York City style energy, a happening bar scene, and a delicious menu featuring prime cuts of beef, excellent fish, seafood and poultry dishes at a wide range of price points geared to draw an array of clients. Brasel has created a menu that embraces the staples of a classic steakhouse – a variety of prime cuts, amazing sides and appetizers, and a top notch Wine Spectator award-winning wine list – but infuses it all with an artful, contemporary spin that diners love. My friend Kim Falconer and I chose two appetizing starters, the Wagyu Carpaccio with white truffle aioli, yuca chips and shiitake mushroom salad; and the Wagyu Slider with chipotle aioli, smoked bacon, smoked cheddar and arugula spiced market fries. Our entrées were the 8 oz. Charbroiled Prime Ribeye and Bone Marrow Duo with grilled cauliflower and tomato bacon jam; and the Wood Grilled Churrasco with fried bermuda onion rings and aji dipping sauce. For dessert we enjoyed the Fireman Derek's Carrot Cake with pistachio gelato and white chocolate ganache. Meat Market is always a great choice for fine dining on Lincoln Road.

MIGNONETTE UPTOWN

13951 Biscayne Boulevard, North Miami n operation for decades, North Miami Beach's Gourmet Diner was a dining mainstay. It was only fitting that Danny Serfer, the chef/restaurateur behind some of Miami's most beloved restaurants – Blue Collar and Mignonette – would take over the iconic space after it moved. "I always loved the look, feel and location of the Diner," says Serfer, whose craveable, soulful and approachable cooking is deeply rooted in classic Americana. Mignonette Uptown, like the Diner before it, has become a gourmet neighborhood haunt with a spirit all its own. Serfer is giving his neighbors more than a few reasons to step through Uptown's classic diner-style front doors, so I had to go to Mignonette for Miami Spice dinner. The appetizers included Half Dozen Oysters chef's choice with mignonette and cocktail sauce; Greek Salad with peppers, heirloom tomatoes, olives and red wine vinegar; and Lamb Meatballs with watercress, citrus, avgo lemono and tzadziki. The entrée choices were Branzino with fennel-potato hash and scampi sauce; Lamb Chops with zuchini-gruyere gratin and demi; Faroe Island Salmon with orzo, peas and saffron broth; and Veggie Plate with any 4 veggies. For dessert you can satisfy your sweet tooth with Bread Pudding butterscotch and heath bar with cayenne whipped cream; or Valrhona Chocolate Cake with ice cold milk.

A plethora of meats and fresh fish prepared on the wood-burning grill and an expansive raw bar will satisfy diners who enjoy contemporary cuisine. The two-story, indoor-outdoor restaurant is an elegant and engaging social destination that redefines the modern steakhouse with a robust menu of reimagined classics. Stripsteak's dishes run the gamut, from exotic meats sourced from Australia and the Miyazaki prefecture region of Japan, to its classic cuts – many of them from the hotel's on-site aging room and butcher shop.

This stunning mosaic ceiling sets the tone for a culinary experience showcasing the flavorful dishes of a traditional French bistro. I dined at Tamara Bistro for their Miami Spice brunch, which included its signature 1939 full breakfast buffet with eggs, pastries, cereals, fruits, cheeses, breakfast breads, waffles, breakfast sandwiches, bacon, sausage and breakfast potatoes.
