Item Description

Cena at Michy's  Certificate at $125

Chef Michelle Bernstein, a Miami native of Jewish and Latin descent, has dazzled diners and critics alike with her sublime cuisine and a personality as bright and vibrant as the Florida sun.

“My food isn't heavy handed or unnecessarily complicated," says Bernstein, a James Beard Award winner (Best Chef South 2008) and author of Cuisine a Latina (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 2008). “You don't need heavy handed technique and over the top presentations to make a dish work. It's about amazing ingredients, layered flavors and simplicity. My style of cooking is inspired by my own food memories and it's the simple, soulful cooking that I remember from my travels. I cook the food I love and I think that love translates to the diners."

The menu at CENA (translated from Latin as “the most important meal of the day") is approachable yet adventurous, boasting just the right amount of soul-pleasing favorites as well as an array of dishes inspired by Bernstein's current culinary obsessions. “Michy's was never meant to be a 'fancy,' special occasion restaurant," Martinez says. “We opened it around the corner from our house because this neighborhood needed a restaurant the locals could call their own." The new menu reflects that neighborhood vibe but, in keeping with Bernstein's reputation and creativity, often travels into unexpected and exciting directions.
