José Andrés Group to Launch Mediterranean Restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach

The opening by the end of the year will be Zaytinya's third location, which opened in 2002 in Washington, DC.

The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach will soon be home to Zaytinya, the popular Mediterranean restaurant by José Andrés. Zaytinya is celebrated as a top dining destination in Washington, D.C., with a second location that opened in July 2022 at The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad.

All food and beverage operations at the luxury hotel in Miami Beach, including the restaurants, lobby bar, Ritz Club lounge, and in-room dining, will be taken over by The José Andrés Group. The group plans to open Zaytinya in the space currently occupied by Fuego y Mar Mediterranean restaurant. Previously, Andrés had a restaurant in Miami Beach, The Bazaar by José Andrés, which closed earlier this year at the SLS South Beach hotel.

Zaytinya is named after the Turkish word for “olive oil,” and its menu is inspired by Turkish, Greek and Lebanese cuisine. The restaurant group will begin hiring for positions at Zaytinya shortly. The José Andrés Group operates over 30 restaurants across the U.S., Bahamas, and United Arab Emirates.

Editor-in-Chief

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
