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
| Restaurant | Status in sources |
|---|---|
| Fi'lia | Listed in older hotel materials; Facebook update indicates closure at this location |
| Bazaar Mar | Listed in legacy sources; check current hotel listings |
| The Lounge | Mentioned as on-site cocktail lounge in older listings |
