Norman Van Aken has a new restaurant in Miami and it's definitely worth the drive

We here in Central Florida have been lucky enough to have not one, but two restaurants run by James Beard Award-winning chef Norman Van Aken— NORMAN'S at the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes and 1921 in Mount Dora.
Van Aken, whose namesake restaurant in Coral Gables was a perennial contender for James Beard Foundation Awards before it closed in 2007, opened the short-lived Norman's 180 (also in Coral Gables) in 2010 before it, too, shuttered.
But with the recent opening of his latest venture — Three at the Wynwood Arcade — Van Aken has made a celebrated return to South Florida. The restaurant itself is stunning; and the food more so. Along with chef de cuisine Miguel Massens, pastry chef Mame Sow and owners Candace Walsh and Susan Buckley, Van Aken has expanded the purview of "New World Cuisine" as evidenced by the stellar dishes we sampled on a recent visit to the Miami restaurant. Have a look (then plan a visit):
Three at Wynwood Arcade
50 NW 24th Street
Miami, FL 33127
305.748.4540
3-Course Prix Fixe: $60
4-Course Prix Fixe: $75
