OYSTER BAR
Luckily for Miamians, Chef Andrew Carmellini, Josh Pickard and Luke Ostrom have brought their incredibly successful New York restaurant, The Dutch, to W South Beach Hotel and Residences, located in the heart of South Beach. Fortunately for him, Miami restaurateurs Karim Masri and Nicola Siervo, operators of W South Beach’s Wet and Living Room Bar agreed to join in with a partnership on the operation, a beautiful equation that equaled to one of Miami’s newest and hottest restaurants.

Walking through the door of
Neptune Oyster is a noticeable and welcome departure from its
marinara-laden neighborhood. The space is sleek and small with only 18
bar seats, and a banquette of tables which seat a total of 26. Sitting
at the bar, you are faced with an almost library-like display of wines,
and overhead is a large mirror boasting the daily raw bar offerings. A
small blackboard advertises the daily special, and on the day I
happened to be there, an expertly drawn fish courtesy of owner Jeff
Nace's daughter. Pearly white tiles cover the walls, and above the
banquette tables hang three more mirrors displaying the daily
selections of wines, bellini, and crudo.
