New York’s Brooklyn Chop House is bringing its signature fusion of classic steakhouse dining and bold Asian-inspired cuisine to Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood when it opens on November 11. The seventh-floor penthouse restaurant will debut at Moxy Miami Wynwood, offering one of Miami’s only two-level dining and nightlife experiences in the epicenter of Miami’s food and art scene.
“When we started Brooklyn Chop House, we wanted to cultivate a culinary experience that showcases our cuisine but transcends into an elevated guest affair. We wanted to create a full cultural immersion that blends food, music, and style,” said Robert “Don Pooh” Cummins, CEO and owner. “We’re thrilled to bring Brooklyn Chop House to Miami, a city that shares our passion for flavor, music, and style. This space captures the spirit of both New York and Miami — bold, luxurious and unforgettable.”
Brooklyn Chop House blends the world of dim sum with premium chops. The vision of restaurateur Stratis Morfogen, the concept combines signature Chinese-inspired dishes with classic steakhouse favorites, including dry-aged prime steaks, lamb chops and lobster. Led by Chef Erick Melendez, celebrated for his innovative work at Miami hotspots like Mila, the kitchen brings global influences and refined technique together.
Under Melendez’s direction, the Miami outpost introduces a fresh tone to the brand’s menu. Drawing from Miami’s unique coastal energy and his passion for global cuisine, he incorporates elevated crudos, seafood towers and Asian-inspired rolls that add a refined, coastal sophistication to the restaurant’s offerings. The menu balances innovation with tradition.
The seventh-floor penthouse greets guests with richly grained wood furnishings, natural stone, and lush greenery, evoking a “sea-meets-sand” aesthetic that is both luxurious and inviting. Spanning 20,000 square feet across two penthouse levels, the restaurant’s open layout creates a dynamic flow between bar, lounge and main dining, creating a refined yet relaxed ambiance. A grand staircase leads to the rooftop lounge above, creating a seamless journey from dinner to nightlife.
