The New York-based restaurant group behind the South Beach Italian-American restaurant with a two-month-long waiting list, Carbone, has debuted ZZ’s Club, a Japanese restaurant in the Design District with an optional invite-only membership.
The Major Food Group partnered with two well-known sushi and Japanese cuisine pros, Masa Ito and Kevin Kim, who created cult following before relocating from New York City to run the new Miami restaurant. ZZ’s Club remakes the space into a high-end Japanese restaurant with a private 16-seat omakase chef’s choice sushi bar with ingredients flown in from Tokyo. An adjacent dining room serves modern Japanese cuisine with an a la carte menu, from raw dishes to cooked plates of premium Japanese beef on custom-built charcoal grills.
