Thomas Keller’s Art Deco dining room in Surfside, Florida

Set within the restored Surf Club in Surfside, Florida, The Surf Club Restaurant is Thomas Keller’s first venture in the state. The dining room evokes Art Deco glamour with a vintage bar, plush banquettes and dim lighting. The menu nods to classic continental cooking with stand‑out dishes like a seared crab cake with spicy mayonnaise and slaw, a reimagined Maine lobster thermidor with sauce Américaine, and a coconut chiffon cake with lime‑flecked crème anglaise. Service is polished yet relaxed, and the restaurant has become a favourite for special occasions in Miami’s affluent Surfside neighborhood.
