MIAMI, Florida — Area 31, a seafood restaurant, has reopened after a comprehensive renovation, and its grand reopening celebration is on the night of Thursday, November 12.

The restaurant is on the 16th floor of Kimpton EPIC Hotel in downtown Miami, at 270 Biscayne Blvd Way, Miami, FL 33131. Nearly 20 years after it first opened, it returns with a redesigned space by RoseBernard Studio under the design theme Illuminate.

The new menu is led by Executive Chef Alvaro Rayón de Jaime. It opens with an Ossetra caviar bite and scallop crudo, then runs to the Florida catch of the day, a Spanish-inspired Arroz de Pulpo, Australian Wagyu, a Florida heirloom tomato salad and the signature Snow Crab Fried Rice, with a Basque cheesecake among the desserts.

The bar program is mixology-driven and led by Lead Bartender Eric Vargas. Reservations are open on the restaurant's website.
