Area 31 Now Serving Lunch

Opened in mid-December on the 16th floor of the Epic Hotel in downtown Miami, Area 31-which originally served breakfast and dinner only-is now doing lunch. The lunch menu, created by executive chef John Critchley and available from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., includes a variety of top-quality seafood items prepared with a Mediterranean influence.

Lunch choices include an upscale version of a club sandwich, made with mahimahi, spicy aioli, bacon, lettuce, and tomato; and white bean soup made with rock shrimp escabeche and lemon oil.
