The Robb Report has revealed their 10 Best New Restaurants of the Year in the United States, with Sunny’s in Miami taking out top spot.
Sunny’s Steakhouse started out as a pop-up in 2020 and finally found its forever location in Little River Miami on 2 October 2024.
In their review of the restaurant, the Robb Report praised the atmosphere and the food.
“The problem with so many restaurants this fun: The food can almost feel like an afterthought to the ambiance,” the article said.
“That’s not the case at Sunny’s. Chef Aaron Brooks and team execute a modern steakhouse menu with care.
“The beef is cooked over a live-oak fire; the raw seafood is gorgeous; platonic ideals of sides like creamed spinach emerge from the kitchen; ethereal Parker House rolls with honey butter are far from filler; and pastas such as agnolotti with corn and blue crab swimming in a saffron broth could entice you to skip the steak altogether.”
The restaurant is owned by the same people behind Downtown Miami’s Jaguar Sun which closed in August of last year.
From being an outdoorsy outdoor only restaurant, the space for Sunny’s has been transformed into a modern white table cloth indoor and outdoor venue, aimed at giving a nightly dinner atmosphere.
“We’ve done everything in our power to keep the vibe that made the original version of Sunny’s so special,” owner Will Thompson said.
“With that being said, it was really important to create a year-round space for our guests and our team to thrive in.”
Other restaurants that made the top 10 of the Robb Report list include Somni in West Hollywood, Pullman Market in San Antonio and Acamaya in New Orleans.
