Sam Fox—the eleven-time James Beard-nominated restaurateur behind 60+ concepts including Justin Timberlake's Twelve Thirty Club—brought this 260-seat showstopper to Brickell City Centre with a menu designed to cast an impossibly wide net. The Gatsby-era-meets-industrial design creates genuine energy, and the polished service from staff who remember orders keeps it feeling like a neighborhood joint despite the scale. Food won't blow anyone away, but the pretzels with provolone fondue and molten butter cake deliver consistent comfort. The divergence between platforms—strong on some, middling on others—suggests execution varies more than it should at this price point. Best for business lunches and celebrations where ambiance matters as much as the plate.
