Housed within Aimco’s premier luxury development at 560 NE 34th Street, this massive indoor-outdoor venue promises to blend world-class steaks, pristine seafood, and jaw-dropping bay views.

World-Class Steak Meets Biscayne Bay Views

Spanning an impressive 11,500 square feet, the restaurant will anchor the ground floor of the luxury residential development. The crown jewel of the space will undoubtedly be its 2,500-square-foot outdoor deck, featuring a dramatic waterfront bar positioned directly on the edge of the bay.

The menu will showcase the acclaimed steak program that made their Fort Lauderdale flagship a Michelin Guide-recommended hotspot, alongside a brand-new, elevated seafood selection tailored for the waterfront.

“This special location and extraordinary space gives us the opportunity to create something truly special directly on Biscayne Bay,” said Thomas Angelo, Co-Founder of Gioia Hospitality Group. “We are looking forward to developing a restaurant that reflects the best of Miami waterfront dining while staying true to our standards of hospitality.”

Designed by the Iconic Rockwell Group

To match the high-end culinary ambitions, Gioia Hospitality Group has tapped the internationally acclaimed architecture and design firm Rockwell Group, founded by David Rockwell. Known for designing some of the world’s most breathtaking hotels and cultural institutions, the firm will bring a sophisticated, high-energy visual aesthetic to the Edgewater shoreline.

A Hyper-Local Destination for Miami Residents

For Gioia Hospitality Group co-founder Kassidy Angelo, the project strikes a personal chord.

“I live in Midtown, so this project is especially meaningful to me,” noted Kassidy Angelo. “This location allows us to introduce a whole new audience to the hospitality, quality, and guest experience we’ve built at Daniel’s, while making it much more accessible for residents of Midtown, Miami Beach, and North Miami.”

The expansion marks a massive era of growth for the group. In addition to their Fort Lauderdale staples, their portfolio includes the highly anticipated La Sponda opening at Vita at Grove Isle, and their Miami footprint is already booming—with Daniel’s Miami recently ranking No. 40 on the prestigious World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants list.

While the official name, exact culinary direction, and firm opening date are being kept under wraps for now, this waterfront destination is already shaping up to be one of Miami’s most anticipated openings.
