Restaurants that were at the SLS Brickell address

Older listings for the property include Fi’lia (an Italian restaurant by Michael Schwartz) and Bazaar Mar (José Andrés’ seafood concept). These venues were part of the SLS Brickell food-and-drink lineup in prior years.

Several sources indicate Fi’lia at this address has closed and Bazaar Mar is listed in legacy materials. Because ownership and branding changed (the property was rebranded to Dua Miami, Autograph Collection), menus, hours, and whether those exact concepts operate at the same address may no longer be current. Confirm with the hotel concierge before you expect a specific former restaurant to be open.

• Fi’lia — Italian; older hours and reservation contacts appear in archived OpenTable listings
• Bazaar Mar — José Andrés’ seafood concept in legacy listings
• Status note — some named restaurants have closed or moved as the property changed operators

Nearby: SLS LUX Brickell (805 South Miami Avenue) dining

A separate nearby property, SLS LUX Brickell at 805 South Miami Avenue, lists its own restaurants including Kaori (Japanese, Michelin Guide–recommended) and Katsuya (sushi-focused). These are not in the same building as the 1300 South Miami Avenue address but are a short walk within the Brickell neighborhood according to property materials.

If you want Japanese fine dining or a chef-driven sushi experience, ask the concierge about walking directions and whether reservations are recommended for Kaori or Katsuya; hours and reservation policies are set by those separate venues.

• Kaori — Japanese, listed as Michelin Guide–recommended at SLS LUX Brickell (805 S Miami Ave)
• Katsuya Brickell — on-site sushi restaurant at SLS LUX Brickell
• These venues are at a different SLS-branded address (805 S Miami Ave), not 1300 S Miami Ave

Brickell City Centre and quick walkable options

Brickell City Centre is a large, nearby shopping and dining complex within a short walk of the hotel and offers many casual and upscale dining choices inside the center. For a quick dinner or to browse multiple restaurant concepts, it’s one of the easiest places to reach on foot.

The Miami Riverwalk and Brickell’s street-level restaurants are also within easy walking distance; the neighborhood is compact and most downtown- and Brickell-area dining is typically a 5–15 minute walk from 1300 South Miami Avenue.

If you have a specific cuisine in mind, ask concierge for current recommendations and for help making reservations at local restaurants.

• Brickell City Centre — multi-venue dining and shopping complex
• Miami Riverwalk — riverside restaurants and seafood spots along the promenade
• Many Brickell restaurants are a short walk; concierge can advise on reservations

Practical tips for dining while staying at SLS Brickell

Confirm current restaurant names, hours, and whether a concept is still operating before you go. The hotel and neighborhood restaurants have seen rebrands and closures in recent seasons as the property changed ownership and management.

Use the hotel concierge or front desk (open 24/7) to make reservations, check Altitude’s event schedule, and book any cabana or poolside seating. Valet parking for dining guests is available for a surcharge — check rates and availability with the hotel.

If you’re staying in a Suite, 2 Bedrooms (Lux), Room (Lux), or Studio (Lux), and prefer to dine in-room, the property lists an in-room dining service sourced from the Altitude Pool & Lounge menu available for breakfast and lunch hours noted in hotel materials.

• Always confirm before you travel — rebrands and concept closures have occurred
• Concierge can reserve restaurants and check rooftop programming
• In-room dining available from Altitude menu for breakfast and lunch (listed 8:00am–5:00pm)
