Viceroy Miami's 'Signature' Restaurant To Get a Michelin-Starred Chef

Where: 485 Brickell Avenue [map], Miami, FL, United States, 33131

Page Six is reporting that the Viceroy Miami unnamed "Signature Restaurant" atop the 15th floor will actually get a chef very soon. And a very celebrated chef at that.

MICHELIN-starred chef Michael Psilakis and partner Donatella Arpaia, who own Anthos and two other hot Manhattan eateries, are branching out. The pair just inked a deal with Kor Hotel Management to launch a restaurant at the Viceroy Miami in developer George Perez's IconBrickell complex in the city's downtown. The as yet-unnamed 15th-floor dining spot will open next month and focus on seafood.

The duo apparently went to the Viceroy to seal the deal a few nights ago and celebrated with Kor Hotel Group founder Brad Korzen, his wife and the hotel's decorator Kelly Wearstler, Sharon Stone, Selma Blair, Mad Men's Jon Hamm, decorator Colin Cowie, and even Ian Schrager himself.

That seems random, doesn't it? We wonder if Ian plans to use Michael Psilakis for his new Edition Hotels? Oh right, those hotels won't be open for a while.

[UPDATE: A Viceroy rep just told us that Ian Schrager was not at the celebration as per Page Six's report. Let's hope he was off somewhere working on Edition.]
