Naoe
661 Brickell Key Drive,
Miami, FL 33131
(305) 947-6263
Ambiance
Minimalist Japanese is the best way to describe the hallowed ground that houses this culinary experience.
What to Eat
The menu is Omakase, meaning the chef/ owner Kevin Cory designs your meal for you. You can expect a customized bento box and eight pieces of nigiri sushi.
What to Drink
Your beverage is the only thing you can choose at Naoe. We suggest sake from Nakamura Brewery, the chef’s family brewery in Japan, established in the 1800s.
Sweet Tooth
The dessert is Omakase as well, but most likely you’ll be getting some of the delicious sponge cake and a mystery ice cream.

Ambiance
Along with the new menu by Beard-winning chef Mattias Gervais, the interiors also got a refresh, but the design is still classic Setai, with an open kitchen to watch the chef work his magic.
What to Eat
Zucchini Blossoms or the poached Maine Lobster Salad, with grapefruit and citrus dressing and edible flowers.
What to Drink
Order a bottle of Krug; only the best Champagne goes with this level of fine Mediterranean cuisine.
Sweet Tooth
Bavarois Cake or the Neapolitan Cake.
