Daniel's Steakhouse, the South Florida chophouse with locations in Fort Lauderdale and Coral Gables, is heading to Miami's Edgewater with an 11,500-square-foot address overlooking Biscayne Bay. The expansion, announced by the operator via Instagram, would mark the third market for Gioia Hospitality Group, the company led by father-daughter partners Thomas and Kassidy Angelo.
Per the operator's post, the Edgewater location will include a 2,500-square-foot outdoor terrace and a dedicated waterfront bar. No specific address, construction timeline, or opening window was disclosed in the announcement.
The footprint is notable for a new restaurant entry in Miami, and the outdoor terrace component — nearly a quarter of total square footage — signals that al fresco bay service will be central to the program. For a steakhouse moving up from Fort Lauderdale, a bay-facing terrace at that scale is a concrete differentiator in a market where direct waterfront access is increasingly consolidated in large-format hotel and mixed-use projects.
Edgewater's growth over the past decade has tracked closely with luxury residential development along the Biscayne Bay corridor. Its position between Wynwood to the north and the Design District to the west has drawn a growing residential base and the hospitality operators that follow it. A full-service steakhouse at Daniel's scale would occupy the upper tier of that supply.
The Angelos have built the Gioia Hospitality Group portfolio incrementally — Fort Lauderdale established the brand, Coral Gables extended it into Miami-Dade's most established restaurant market, and Edgewater would bring it into a corridor that has absorbed more new residential units than restaurant concepts in recent years. Whether the Edgewater location mirrors the existing locations' format or introduces any program variation was not addressed in the operator's announcement.
Specific lease details, a design team, and a projected opening date have not been disclosed. As the project moves toward permitting, those details should clarify the timeline for what would be one of Edgewater's larger restaurant footprints when it opens.
