Scenarios and venues in Miami
Meeting formats and venues we work with: five-star hotels in the centre, signature restaurants, theatres, private spaces.
Dinner in Miami
Dinner is the most frequent scenario in Miami. A 3-4 hour format: meeting at the restaurant entrance or in the lobby of an adjacent hotel, then dinner, sometimes a light walk along Collins or Lincoln Road. We book the table ourselves — we hold direct contacts with the maître d's of the keystone restaurants in South Beach, the Design District and Wynwood.
Carbone Miami
49 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach
Italian-American
Major Food Group, the loudest Italian restaurant on Miami Beach in recent years. Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, Veal Parmesan, sides done to the New York Italian-American tradition. Booking 4 to 6 weeks ahead in season. Loud atmosphere, smart-elegan…
Cote Miami
3900 NE 2nd Avenue, Miami Design District
Korean steakhouse
One Michelin star in the Miami guide since 2022. Korean barbecue concept with American wagyu, a careful wine list, table-side grill. Suits a business dinner with a culinary lean or a meeting where food is the centre of the evening.
L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon Miami
151 NE 41st Street, Miami Design District
French modern
Part of the global Joël Robuchon network. Counter format around an open kitchen plus rooms. Precision French modern, tasting sets. Suits a client who values technique and is ready for 2.5 to 3 hours at the table.
Stubborn Seed
101 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach
Modern American
Chef Jeremy Ford (Top Chef winner), concept of "local ingredients, precise technique". Less ceremony than Carbone, a more intimate format. Suits a second meeting, when impressing isn't the brief.
Joe's Stone Crab
11 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach
Seafood, Miami classic
Open since 1913, the cult South Beach address for stone crab (season October to May). Without a booking — the queue; with maître-d' relationships — straight to the table. Family atmosphere, louder dinners, suits an unfussy evening format.
ZZ's Club Miami
111 NE 41st Street, Miami Design District
Italian high-end, members-only
Members-only club from Major Food Group in the Design District. The menu isn't published, the format combines restaurant and private club. Suits a meeting at the "inner circle" level where discretion of the room and quality of the kitchen m…
Tip:
for Friday-Saturday in high season Carbone and L'Atelier are booked 4 to 6 weeks ahead; ZZ's is access-only through a member-host, agreed separately; in Art Basel everything is harder, two to three weeks needed
Hotel Meeting
For hotel meetings we use the 5-star segment — Faena, The Setai, The Edition, 1 Hotel, Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, Acqualina, Mandarin Oriental. In each one we know the entry procedure and reception, the models have the "client's guest" format down. The model arrives in the lobby, you meet, then — room or hotel restaurant by your choice.
Faena Hotel Miami Beach
3201 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach
Alan Faena's concept — glam-art-deco, a red palette, gold sculptures on the beach, a dedicated theatre inside the complex. One of the keystone Miami Beach addresses by the level of the crowd. In Art Basel — the epicentre of evening movement…
The Setai Miami Beach
2001 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach
Asian-luxury concept, three pools at different temperatures, teak facades, a quiet restrained luxury. Suits clients who want less publicity than Faena. Dinner at Jaya — modern Asian, low light.
Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club
9011 Collins Avenue, Surfside

Acqualina Resort & Residences on the Beach
17875 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach
The northern five-star segment in Sunny Isles, the area known for its concentration of Russian-speaking and Latin American residents. Il Mulino restaurant — New York Italian classic. Acqualina spa — one of the better ones on the east coast.…

The only 5-star hotel on Brickell Key — a separate island connected to Brickell by bridge. Quiet private format, La Mar restaurant — Peruvian by chef Gastón Acurio. Suits business meetings with Brickell clients and discreet evenings away fr…
Tip:
if you pick the hotel yourself — name it to the manager and he'll tell you the specific entrance (some hotels have a separate residential lobby), the model's arrival time and the dress code for the hotel restaurant if you plan to dine there
Business Accompaniment on Brickell
The Miami business scenario is Brickell: banking corporations, law firms, Latin American family offices. The model works in strict business code, speaks English, on request — Spanish or Russian. Often a double format: the first hour as accompaniment at a corporate dinner, then a private meeting.
Mandarin Oriental, Miami

French modern
Part of the global Joël Robuchon network. Counter format around an open kitchen plus rooms. Precision French modern, tasting sets. Suits a client who values technique and is ready for 2.5 to 3 hours at the table.
Tip:
for a first business format with us — we agree details deeper than usual: the company, the event format, your dress code, the level of formality; the model has to read as part of your professional contour
Art Basel and Cultural Events
In December during Art Basel Miami Beach — a separate format. We pick a model with an art background: she understands the difference between galleries, knows contemporary names, can carry a conversation with collectors and gallerists. The evening usually runs: dinner at Carbone or L'Atelier, a tour of two or three pavilions at the Convention Center or Design Miami, after-party at Faena Hotel or The Edition.
Faena Hotel Miami Beach
3201 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach
Alan Faena's concept — glam-art-deco, a red palette, gold sculptures on the beach, a dedicated theatre inside the complex. One of the keystone Miami Beach addresses by the level of the crowd. In Art Basel — the epicentre of evening movement…

Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts

Miami's principal performing arts centre — opera, ballet, symphonic concerts, Broadway tours. Knight Concert Hall and Ziff Ballet Opera House. Suits a cultural evening: dinner on Brickell or in the Design District, then the show, then a nig…
Tip:
book 10 to 14 days before the fair opens; pricing for that period runs 20-30% above base; the format works better at 6 to 8 hours or a full night, to fit an evening with switches
Weekends and Trips Around Florida
From 24 hours to 7 days. Inside Miami — Faena Hotel or Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, day by the pool or on the beach, dinners at Carbone, Cote, L'Atelier, evening formats by choice. Trips — Florida Keys (Key Largo, Islamorada), Naples on the west coast, Palm Beach to the north, sometimes Bahamas on a short charter. All travel and accommodation costs — on the client; the model's fee separate.

Tip:
agreed 3 to 5 days ahead; for Bahamas the model needs a current passport (usually held), confirmed upfront; the "two days on a yacht with a Keys run" format is one of the most-requested in high season
Client's Private Locations
If the client has their own residence on Star Island, Fisher Island, Sunny Isles, Bal Harbour, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove — the meeting happens there. For returning clients the address is agreed without further questions. For new ones at the first meeting we usually suggest a neutral location (hotel, restaurant), and from there move to wherever the client prefers.
Client's Private Location
A scenario where the client organises the meeting at their own residence on Star Island, Sunny Isles, Bal Harbour, Coral Gables, at a rented house or on a yacht. For returning clients agreed without further discussion. For a new client's fi…
Tip:
the address isn't kept on file; it's passed only to the specific model for the specific meeting; after the meeting the coordinates are wiped from working chats within 72 hours; the same format works for rented houses and moored yachts
