The story
Delilah brings a specific idea to Brickell Key: a luxury space where eating, drinking, and dancing converge without ever competing with each other. The concept draws on Art Deco aesthetics and the energy of the 1920s, reframed for a contemporary audience. Dinner is the anchor, but the evening is designed to keep moving — live performers and surprise acts take over after the meal, with lounge-style bottle service carrying the night forward.
The dress code says it plainly: upscale casual chic, stylish and well-presented. Collared shirts recommended, athletic wear left at the door. The room expects something from you, and it gives something back.
The menu is rooted in American cuisine but pulls from a wide pantry. A chilled seafood bar anchors the opening — oysters with yuzu-chili granita, hamachi crudo with grapefruit-fresno snow, tuna tartare with Korean chili and avocado mousse, and a full seafood tower built for sharing. Caviar service, presented with funnel cakes and crème fraîche, sets the tone for how seriously Delilah takes the theatrical side of dining.
Entrées move between comfort and refinement: black truffle agnolotti with parmesan cream and brown butter, roasted lobster mafaldine in ancho chili cream, Chilean sea bass with pistachio salsa verde. The steak program is serious — dry-aged Kansas City strip from Allen Brothers, a 40 oz Akaushi tomahawk from a Texas ranch, and Japanese A5 wagyu from Hokkaido, grilled tableside on a hot rock and served with fresh wasabi and truffle sukiyaki sauce.
Desserts hold their own: the Baked Alaska with banana semifreddo and caramel, and the Hot Fudge Sundae built with enough components to be an event in itself.
The cocktail list earned Delilah a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2024 — recognition that reflects genuine depth in both the wine program and the broader beverage offering. Signatures like the Millionaire Martini (frozen Ketel One stretched with Dom Pérignon and finished with a bump of Kaluga caviar) sit alongside more approachable builds: the Spicy Siena with 818 blanco tequila and tajín, or the Champagne Papi, kissed with Moët & Chandon brut. The bar is not an afterthought — it's part of the same American cuisine-forward vision that runs through the whole room.
Delilah operates across Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Dallas, and Miami, each location carrying the same DNA: fine dining that doesn't take itself so seriously it forgets to be fun. The Miami outpost on Brickell Key brings that formula to one of the city's most polished addresses, with outdoor seating and private event capacity rounding out a space built for occasions that last well past midnight.
