The Surf Club Restaurant by Chef Thomas Keller Miami

The Surf Club Restaurant sits on Collins Avenue in Surfside, just steps from the sand. It holds one Michelin star and a 2024 Wine Spectator Excellence Award. The room runs smart and elegant, serving a menu of classic French seafood.

This is a destination for those who find the heavy, frenetic dining rooms of nearby Bal Harbour exhausting. While its neighbours lean into the high-octane pace of the coast, this dining room remains disciplined and quiet. You come here not for the proximity to the shops, but to find a formal, focused approach to seafood that is becoming increasingly rare in this part of Florida. If you want a dinner that values precision over the local appetite for a spectacle, this is where you go.
