“After almost five years, we decided to give Swan a refresh,” said David Grutman, founder of Groot Hospitality. “We wanted to keep its tropical, easygoing atmosphere, so there are subtle decor updates, and we also rolled out a new logo. Most significantly, we’ve overhauled the menu. It’s 90% new, with a few Groot classics in the mix. We call it Miami’s version of a brasserie. There’s delicious fish, incredible meat, and great shareable dishes.”

Designed around market-driven ingredients, Swan’s updated culinary offering focuses on lighter fare with a more shareable appeal. It’s Miami’s version of a brasserie: bright and energetic yet imbued with the spirit of a classic European eatery. Seafood-centric small plates such as chilled oysters, charred octopus, and Bluefin tuna roses are the standout starters, and main course highlights include the lemon garlic chicken, blueberry filet and spicy vodka veal parmigiana. Of course, the menu wouldn’t be complete without Groot Hospitality house favorites like the chips & caviar, hamachi crudo and everything bagel Parker house rolls, which are interspersed throughout the menu.

This reformatted approach keeps in line with Swan’s popular taste but elevates it to something a bit more enticing. And fans of Swan can rest assured that despite an updated look, the restaurant’s vibrant ambiance will remain unchanged from Mon Chéri Mondays to the electric dinner parties that roll through the weekends.

Swan will re-open for dinner on Tuesday, September 19, starting at 6 p.m. 90 NE 39th St., Miami, FL 33137
