Emeril's Miami Beach, located at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel, opened its doors in November 2003. It is the ninth restaurant owned and operated by Chef Emeril Lagasse. Like at Lagasse's flagship restaurant, Emeril's in New Orleans which opened in 1990, the menu features what Lagasse calls "new" New Orleans cuisine, which includes the history and richness of Creole cuisine with the addition of progressive, cultural and seasonal influences. Emeril's Miami Beach features an extensive wine program with over 400 selections.

Designed by the renowned Rockwell Group of New York City, Emeril's Miami Beach includes signature touches that the Rockwell Group and Lagasse have developed, while paying homage to the architectural grandeur and significance of the unique historical art deco property. The restaurant occupies a ground floor space of 8,000 square feet and seats 240 guests in the main dining room, the bar, the food bar and the terrace. Design features include two vault-sized wine
towers with cascading Art Deco beaded chandeliers in the main dining room; a food bar with a signature metal and glass proscenium filled with spices; a long communal banquette in white leather, accented with sea foam green, paprika and silver fabrics; a solid onyx bar; theatrical lighting by Focus Lighting in New York; and a beautiful outdoor terrace overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

Chef Emeril Lagasse is the chef/proprietor of nine restaurants including three in New Orleans (Emeril's Restaurant, NOLA and Emeril's Delmonico); two in Las Vegas (Emeril's New Orleans Fish House and Delmonico Steakhouse); two in Orlando (Emeril's Orlando and Emeril's Tchoup Chop); one in Atlanta (Emeril's Atlanta) and one in Miami (Emeril's Miami Beach). Lagasse became a national TV personality with the Food Network's production of "The Essence of Emeril" and "Emeril Live." In addition, Lagasse is also Food Correspondent for ABC's "Good Morning America." An established cookbook author, Chef Emeril Lagasse has written nine books including Emeril's New New Orleans Cooking, Louisiana Real and Rustic, Emeril's Creole Christmas, Emeril's TV Dinners, Every Day's A Party, Primetime Emeril, Emeril's There's A Chef in My Soup!, From Emeril's Kitchens and Emeril's There's A Chef in My Family, his second children's cookbook. As of July 2003, over 3.5 million copies of his books have been sold. In September 2002, Emeril established the Emeril Lagasse Foundation to support and encourage programs creating developmental and educational opportunities for children. Lagasse's corporate office, Emeril's Homebase, is located in New Orleans.
