About this dinner
A Dinner Party Where Strangers Become Friends
Join us for our second dinner party at Michael's Genuine Food & Drink; the James Beard Award-winning, Michelin-recognized restaurant that put Miami's Design District on the culinary map.
We're hosting an evening of seasonal, wood-fired American cuisine, creative cocktails, and the kind of connection that happens when strangers share a table at one of Miami's most beloved restaurants.

About the Restaurant
Michael's Genuine Food & Drink is the flagship of James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Schwartz and one of the most important restaurants in Miami's modern dining history. When it opened in the Design District in 2007, the neighborhood was a quiet stretch of art galleries and empty streets; nearly 20 years later, it's Miami's go-to luxury destination, and Michael's Genuine is the constant that helped start it all. Chef Schwartz's philosophy is refreshingly simple: "the secret to good food is good food." The menu changes daily around fresh, locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, wood-fired pizza, house-made pasta, crudo, oven-roasted chicken, and the house-smoked fish dip that regulars have ordered since day one. Three-Course Dinner Served Family-Style
Dinner service includes a family-style 3-course meal for each guest.
Each guest will also receive a glass of wine included with their ticket purchase.
Additional beverages can be purchased at the bar throughout the event.
