There is a beautiful symmetry at work inside the Seagrape at Thompson Miami Beach. Both the restaurant and its botanical namesake find their roots along the coasts of southern Florida and the Caribbean—and that is precisely where the Miami native and James Beard Foundation Award winning chef Michelle Bernstein draws her inspiration. Conjuring the communal from classic brasserie style, she has created the Floridian brasserie that is Seagrape. Focusing on local bounty sourced by land and by sea, she enlists a handful of nearby farmers to do her bidding in the garden. Farm-fresh vegetables, natural reductions and eclectic sauces complement a large selection of pedigreed steaks à la carte and an unparalleled raw bar starring crudos, carpaccios, tartares and sashimi. Working in partnership with her husband, chef David Martinez, and nightlife impresarios Karim Masri and Nicola Siervo, chef Bernstein has redefined the al fresco style of old Miami for a new generation.
