Despite the uncertain economic climate, new restaurants, bars, and hotels—like the MIA at Biscayne, the Bancroft Supper Club, and W South Beach—have popped up around Miami this summer. The insurgence of new venues throughout South Florida looks to be continuing in the coming months. Here’s a look at four of the most anticipated openings.

This upscale steak house is scheduled to open in November at the Gansevoort South hotel and will be operated by the One Group. The bilevel space will be able to seat as many as 600. There will be four private dining rooms on the second floor that can accommodate groups of 10 to 30, or 100 when combined. The champagne bar on first level can also host events.

The owners of SushiSamba Dromo on Miami Beach’s Lincoln Road will be opening this new lounge-style venue in December.
