Opening to the public on Friday, Oct. 15, this farm-to-table restaurant, with a heavy steakhouse sensibility, will feature vibrant and seasonal cuisines, all in the hands of executive chef Paula DaSilva, formerly of Ft. Lauderdale’s acclaimed 3030 Ocean and a finalist on Fox’s Hell’s Kitchen. Restaurateur Seth Greenberg, the premier figure in today’s hospitality industry, will oversee 1500°’s operations.
“Our goal with 1500° is to appeal to visitors and locals alike,” DaSilva says. “Whether you’re a foodie tourist on a culinary exploration of Miami’s best restaurants, or a local looking for an exquisite meal in a gorgeous setting, 1500° will fit the bill.”
The restaurant seats 160 in a modern yet inviting dining room with an additional 40 on the poolside patio, and includes 10,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor dining space. The ever-changing menu boasts small plates, luscious raw bar offerings, juicy steaks, delicious entrees (called composed manipulates), and must-have side items:
Small Plates include roasted beets with seared goat cheese, jumbo lump crab cakes with cilantro slaw and aioli, baby Brussels sprouts with mustard sauce, teriyaki beef skewers
Steaks include 6-ounce Wagyu flat iron, 8-ounce skirt cuts, 34-ounce prime porterhouse “center cut” (to be shared, of course)
