Those looking to plan an event in the Coral Gables area now have a new option—OLA Steak. Chef Douglas Rodriguez, formerly of New York's Patria and creator of OLA Miami, has put his Nuevo Latino spin on the brand-new steak house, located in the Merrick Park mall. Open for barely a week, the 8,500-square-foot restaurant offers an ample menu, featuring organic Uruguayan wet aged beef and 21-day-aged Black Angus, along with numerous ceviches, chimichurris, and more. The chef will customize menus for groups. The space is decorated in browns and blues, with an outdoor terrace ideal for receptions. The entire restaurant is available for events for as many as 260. —Shari Lynn Rothstein

They also brought in a 20-foot-tall bonsai tree and a variety of 30-foot red maples, along with other greenery and foliage. '[It all] helped create the organic atmosphere and helped transport guests into a gardenlike room,' said Schubert.](https://img.bizbash.com/files/base/bizbash/bzb/image/2024/02/Shogun.41_f.65dba8f23433b.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
