Former Garces Culinary Director Headed To South Beach
Remember the Mediterranean restaurant we mentioned that's slated for the W Hotel in South Beach? It's got a name now, and an executive chef. Kevin Sbraga, the former culinary director of Philadelphia-based Garces Restaurant Group, will lead the kitchen at Solea. (Chef Jose Garces, the owner of the restaurant group that bears his name, just won this year's James Beard Award for Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic.)
So what can we expect from Sbraga? Well, we're not sure. As culinary director at the Garces group, Sbraga has presided over kitchens with a decidedly Spanish/Latin bent. Amada and Tinto both serve Spanish tapas, Distrito does upscale Mexican cuisine, and Chifa serves Peruvian-Chinese fusion. Solea's theme is Mediterranean, which has been done to death, but perhaps Sbraga will be able to bring a refreshing take on it.
