A bagel tower and caviar upgrades: This New York breakfast spot is opening in the Grove
Everything is brunch.
That’s the heart of the new Sadelle’s restaurant in Coconut Grove, the latest offering from the group that brought South Florida the Italian-American Carbone, private sushi bar ZZ’s Club and the over-the-top Tel Aviv-to-Miami Beach restaurant HaSalon. The restaurant opens Dec. 18.
Sadelle’s, started by the Major Food Group in New York City in 2016, brings the “big night out” ethos to this all-day restaurant, which takes over at the site of Michael Schwartz’s excellent but short-lived Tigertail and Mary after the property was sold.
“We couldn’t have found a more perfect home for Sadelle’s than this corner of Coconut Grove,” Major Food co-founder Jeff Zalaznick wrote in a statement. “Our mission now is to create the sophisticated and ridiculously delicious all-day anchor that one of Miami’s most elegant neighborhoods deserves—and to show everyone a very good time, from morning through night.”
At the New York restaurant that meant an upscale, busy and buzzy deli during the day that transitioned into a quiet, candle-lit restaurant at night, which won one-star praise (as did its sticky buns) from the New York Times.
It did so by attempting to do what it does at Carbone and HaSalon, which is prepare upscale, carefully thought-out versions of classic dishes — by adding a bit of pizzazz (which means the option to add caviar to just about any dish on Sadelle’s menu).
Seafood towers? That’s so passe. Here it’s a bagel tower with a selection of smoked and cured fish and caviar with all the fixins.
The rest of Sadelle’s menu floats among the sublime, from an $18 egg sandwich and Benedicts ranging in price from $26-$45 to hearty chopped salads upwards of $20 and grilled sandwiches and burgers. Naturally, cocktails are on the menu to help bring on the brunch or big-night-out feel.
Tucked away among the sides are the $3 cream cheese and bagel combo that purports to show off the best in NYC bagel-making.
