CLAUDIE Restaurant A French-Mediterranean Masterpiece In The Heart Of Miami By Merilee Kern, MBA Dec 17, 2025 Miami’s Ever-Evolving Culinary Scene Has A Dazzling New Jewel: www.Claudierestaurant.com . Nestled In Brickell, This French-Mediterranean Restaurant Captures The Timeless Allure Of The Cote D’azur With A Menu, Ambiance And Energy That Transports Diners Straight To The South Of France. The Restaurant Celebrates “La Cuisine Du Soleil,” A Culinary Style Pioneered By Roger Verge That Emphasizes The Light, Fresh And Sun-Kissed Flavors Of The Mediterranean. CLAUDIE is the latest milestone for Riviera Dining Group, the creators of MILA, AVA MediterrAgean, and CASA NEOS, and continues their legacy of redefining high-energy, experiential hospitality. Founded by Gregory Galy and guided by the culinary mastery of Chef Michaël Michaelidis—who honed his craft at celebrated establishments such as Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse and Joel Robuchon—CLAUDIE is an elevated dining experience where artistry and gastronomy converge. A Riviera-Inspired Escape From the moment you enter, CLAUDIE envelops you in the timeless charm of the Cote d’Azur. The space exudes Mediterranean sophistication, proffering an experience that is as much about ambiance as gastronomy. Outside, a 2,470-square-foot terrace welcomes diners into a lush Mediterranean garden complete with a radiant fountain centerpiece. A stunning bronze sculpture by Ada Da Silva serves as a focal point, further anchoring the alfresco dining area’s artistic sensibility. While high energy music is piped throughout both the indoor and outdoor dining space, a roving group of musicians amplifies the festive sensibility. Other design and decor details are notable. Flooring throughout features Mediterranean-inspired tiles, while rich natural finishes—lime-wash walls, warm wood, and natural stonework—evoke the Cote d’Azur’s coastal villages. Handcrafted furnishings in rattan, wicker and clay tones create a breezy, sun-drenched vibe, complemented by lush olive trees and greenery that blur the line between indoor and outdoor living. The centerpiece, a cascading fountain adorned with candles and florals, serves as both sculpture and gathering point, anchoring the restaurant in romance and ritual. CLAUDIE’s design goes beyond atmospheric—it makes an architectural statement. The bespoke dome light fixture in the main dining room doubles as an art installation, casting warm golden hues that change as the evening progresses. Along one wall, guests encounter a hand-painted mural by artist Victoria Krylov, which brings a dreamlike Riviera landscape into the dining room. This dialogue between light, art and texture ensures that CLAUDIE is not only a restaurant but also an evolving gallery of Mediterranean culture. Classics Meet Creativity While CLAUDIE’s menu brims with temptations—like theatrical table-side gazpacho, indulgent seafood towers and elegant entrecote wagyu & frites—several dishes stood out during my visit. The Escargots were a decadent nod to tradition, bathed in Burgundy garlic and parsley butter that melded into each delicate bite. The Burrata di Puglia, elevated with fig, perfectly ripe heirloom tomato and basil oil, offered a refreshing yet indulgent balance of creamy richness and bright Mediterranean flavor. Equally memorable was the New Caledonian obsiblue prawns, presented with lemon zest and extra virgin olive oil. Sweet, delicate and lovely in presentation, the prawns exemplified the clean flavors of “cuisine du soleil.” Among the mains, the Rack of Lamb was a striking success—succulent Australian lamb smothered in fragrant herbs and paired with smoked eggplant caviar that added depth and refinement. The Truffle Toupie Macaroni, with its infusion of truffle, ham and Comte cheese, delivered a rich and indulgent counterpoint: decadent comfort food elevated to haute cuisine. Truly stealing the show was the Lobster Spaghetti, featuring one and a quarter pounds of Maine lobster bathed in a creamy bisque sauce with just the right touch of spice—a dish that epitomizes CLAUDIE’s fusion of luxury, showmanship and approachability. And for dessert, the Sicilian Pistachio Ice Cream with golden praline and Etna olive oil, which is generously portioned to serve three to four people, provided an unforgettable finale: nutty, creamy and beautifully complex. Hospitality Elevated Through Art & Ambiance With every element thoughtfully considered—from design and decor to cuisine and cocktails—CLAUDIE embodies the chic, celebratory spirit of the French Riviera. More than a restaurant, it is an escape where art and nature meet, where every meal becomes a moment and where guests are encouraged to embrace the mantra of “Carpe Diem.” “The roots of CLAUDIE are deeply personal, drawing inspiration from the South of France, particularly the village of Mougins, where I grew up and where my father has served as mayor for decades,” said Gregory Galy, Founder & CEO of RDG. “Mougins is celebrated for its blend of artistry and Michelin-starred cuisine, epitomizing a way of life centered on slow living, effortless sophistication and an appreciation for beauty and culture. At CLAUDIE, under the leadership of Chef Michael Michaelidis, we are dedicated to offering an elevated culinary experience that embodies our unwavering commitment to excellence.” Like its sister venues—MILA, AVA MediterrAgean, and CASA NEOS—CLAUDIE reflects RDG’s vision of hospitality as a lifestyle. The restaurant isn’t designed merely as a meal stop but as a multi-sensory destination where food, design, art and music converge. The experience flows from intimate indoor dining to breezy patio seating, each area carefully curated with Mediterranean pottery, woven textiles, and artisan tableware. These elements underscore the group’s philosophy: that the ritual of dining should embody “slow living,” balancing indulgence with ease. The result is a transportive epicurean escape into Riviera glamour. From exquisite cuisine to inspired design, CLAUDIE is a testament to the art of living beautifully.

Tunnel To Towers Foundation Will Be At loanDepot Park In Miami - The 9/11 25th Anniversary Tour Will Carry World Trade Center Steel Beam Coast-To-Coast South Florida Sun Times May 21, 2026 The Tunnel To Towers Foundation Today Announced The Nationwide Route For Its Steel Across America Tour – A Historic Coast-To-Coast Commemoration Honoring Those Who Sacrificed Their Lives On September 11th, 2001. Featuring A Steel Beam Recovered From The Rubble Of The World Trade Center, The Tour Will Travel Across The Country To Unite Communities In Remembrance, Reflection, And Resolve – Reaffirming The Promise America Made To Never Forget. “This steel beam represents the best of who we are as a country,” said Frank Siller, Tunnel to Towers Foundation Chairman and CEO. “As it travels from coast to coast, we hope this symbol brings communities together to remember the heroes we lost, honor the people still suffering from 9/11-related illnesses, support the families forever changed, and pay tribute to those who continue to protect and serve. Together, we must Never Forget.” Steel Across America officially launched on Saturday, May 2nd, 2026, near Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan. Across more than 10,500 miles, the steel will make more than 35 stops in 21 states and Washington, D.C., visiting landmark locations, community gathering places, town squares, and major sporting events nationwide before culminating in its return to Ground Zero on September 11th on the 25th Anniversary of 9/11. At the heart of Steel Across America is a powerful and historic tribute: a steel beam recovered from the World Trade Center’s South Tower that will be carried from city to city as a lasting memorial. This sacred artifact will journey through communities and neighborhoods, inviting everyone to gather in shared remembrance, pay tribute to the heroes who answered the call on 9/11, and honor those who continue to serve our nation every day. The steel exhibition will be accessible to the public via open exhibitions at national monuments, museums, and memorials across the country, including at the Flight 93 National Memorial (Stoystown, Pennsylvania), the USS Alabama (Mobile, Alabama), the Space Center Houston (Houston, Texas) and Mount Rushmore National Memorial (Keystone, South Dakota). The tour will also visit Major League Baseball stadiums including loanDepot Park (Miami, Florida), T-Mobile Park (Seattle, Washington), and Busch Stadium (St. Louis, Missouri). The steel will also stop at the Emma E. Booker Elementary School (Sarasota Florida), where President George W. Bush was visiting on 9/11 when he first learned about the attacks. At public tour stops, visitors will be able to view the 9/11 steel up close, connect with individuals who lived through the tragic events, engage in meaningful educational experiences through the Foundation’s 9/11 NEVER FORGET Mobile Exhibit, and more. City stops are listed below, and additional details regarding public tour events will be announced at a later date. Steel Across America is a tribute to a defining moment in American history. The steel, which was recovered by thousands of first responders who rushed to Ground Zero in the days following the attacks, stands as a symbol of sacrifice, resilience, and our unbreakable spirit that emerged from tragedy. For the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, this journey is deeply personal. The steel is an everlasting reminder of the selfless courage and service of first responders, including New York City firefighter Stephen Siller, who gave his life on September 11, 2001, along with so many other first responders. Their collective legacy continues to inspire a nation.

YILoveJewish.Org To Present Gate B23: Carry-On Baggage - A Poignant And Hilarious Journey Of Stranded Travelers Comes To Boca Raton And Delray Beach Jewish Connection News Jan 15, 2026 YILoveJewish.org Will Present Readings Of Award-Winning Playwright Debbie Slevin’s Critically Acclaimed Play Gate B23: Carry-On Baggage.

It follows a diverse cast of travelers, each wrestling with personal challenges, as they are stranded at Gate B23 at Palm Beach International Airport whilst enduring an increasingly prolonged flight delay. The play promises to deliver a unique theatrical experience that blends humor, tension, and profound human insights. The reading of Gate B23: Carry-On Baggage will feature some of South Florida’s most prominent actors, including Barbara Bradshaw, Brandon Campbell, Abbie Fricke, Sara Grant, Barbara Sloan, Seth Trucks, and Dave Corey who will take on the role of the progressively disturbed Gate Attendant. Debbie Slevin, an award-winning essayist and author is a writer, producer/director, and teacher. She conceived and co-produced The Apron Strings Project in Riverhead, NY, produced and directed The Last Five Years at Guild Hall in East Hampton, and the first NYC revival of Songs for a New World. Her play Gate B23: Carry-On Baggage was a best-selling selection of NYC International Fringe Festival and Manhattan Repertory Theater's Winterfest. Now a well-read blogger for Huffpo50, Debbie’s writing has also appeared in Essence Magazine, Woman’s World, and Reform Judaism. She was also a staff writer for the Jewish Standard. Tickets are available at both venues the day of the performance on a first come/first served basis. Tickets are free, but donations, accepted at the door of each venue, are suggested.
