Klaw Restaurant To Open In Historic Miami Woman's Club

MIAMI, FL — International entrepreneur Sasha Krilov and global restaurateur Misha Zelman will open the doors of their newest joint culinary venture, Klaw Restaurant, on June 3 in the historic Miami Woman’s Club building. The duo made the announcement Wednesday.

The restaurant’s culinary program is helmed by Brand Executive Chef Phil Campbell who has dedicated over five years to sourcing coveted King Crab from Norway’s Barents Sea as well as an exclusive global beef program that includes certified USDA Black Angus Nebraskan beef.

“Klaw’s hallmark is the meticulous attention to detail: a philosophy that takes root at the very birth of the crab we catch in the depths of the Berents Sea in Norway to the very second we begin to rear our cattle in the valleys of Nebraska,” Campbell said. “That same dedication continues seamlessly throughout the placement of the last garnish on our plates. The local and global relationships we have cultivated with farmers and suppliers are instrumental as we seek to source top-quality sustainable ingredients, which will undoubtedly help us set a new standard in Miami’s culinary scene.”

Reviving the 96-year-old Miami Woman’s Club, Klaw will occupy 14,800 square feet in the historic Spanish Renaissance building.

The five-story waterfront building is deeply rooted in Miami’s history as one of the first buildings in Florida to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Nestled inside, the highly-anticipated restaurant spans from the fourth through the sixth floors of the building: rising from a grand dining room with massive colonial-arched windows and an adjacent private dining space, to a full-floor kitchen, and finishing off with Edgewater’s only rooftop bar that boasts breathtaking, unobstructed views of Biscayne Bay and beyond.

“Miami’s dining scene has matured precipitously over the last few years, and we noticed there was a need and exigency for an elevated land and sea experience,” said Misha Zelman, the global restaurateur behind Goodman Steakhouse, Burger & Lobster, Beast London, and Zelman Meats. “Our team has worked eagerly to birth this culinary dream for Miami, from the hunt for the world’s finest flavors to every detail and emotion that will be evoked by the restaurant’s design and layout. We are eager for gastronomes to experience our passion and courage firsthand, and to finally unveil the world’s finest flavors for Miami.”

Klaw is located at 1737 N Bayshore Dr. in Miami and sits up to 244 guests at a time. The restaurant will open Wednesday through Sunday for dinner (from 6 p.m. – 12 a.m., on the fourth floor of the building) and for drinks and bites (from 5 p.m. – 1 a.m., on the sixth-floor rooftop).
