Quality Meats Miami Beach

In 2015, the second location of acclaimed Manhattan restaurant Quality Meats opened in a historic Art Deco hotel in the heart of South Beach. It is the first venture outside of New York City for Quality Branded, the group founded seven years ago by father‑son team Alan and Michael Stillman. Michael tapped longtime collaborators AvroKO to create a stripped‑down Art Deco atmosphere with raw edges and warm textural details, such as leather and canvas upholstery in the bar furniture and wicker‑caned screens in the main dining room. The family‑owned butcher shops found throughout New York City inspired the flagship Quality Meats, and here the concept is married with the beauty of worn Art Deco details in a Miami setting. The hotel’s original check‑in desk now serves as a butcher counter with cured foods available for purchase, the former reception desk functions as a service bar, and a custom meat‑hook chandelier is the centerpiece for the main bar and lounge.
