Jaguar Sun is reopening its covid-era steakhouse, Sunny's, and is looking to grow its management team. We are looking for candidates who want a little bit more for Miami, and are willing to dig in and help us build something special. 

Description

Opening Fall 2024, Sunny’s is the highly anticipated restaurant and bar from the team behind Miami’s award-winning Jaguar Sun and Sunny’s Someday Steakhouse residency at Lot 6. Located in Littler River, Sunny’s Someday Steakhouse began as Jaguar Sun’s response to the pandemic and quickly became one of Miami’s hottest reservations. The residency scored a coveted “Best Restaurant in America” accolade from Bon Appetit and was named a Tales of the Cocktail “Spirited Award” Regional Honoree. Following two years of construction, the development of a substantial kitchen, and the addition of a roofed dining room, it is preparing to come back in its final form as Sunny’s. In addition to world class food and beverage, Sunny’s will deliver a nightly dinner party that needs to be felt to be believed.

The Sunny’s food menu will boast raw bar selections, wood-fired proteins, and steakhouse classics, alongside hand-made pastas and salads.  On the beverage side, the team has created a substantial wine list spanning the traditional to the more adventurous and obscure. Sunny's will also be pouring classic and house cocktails, in addition to adding two brand new cocktail menus: a pick-your-path martini menu and a zero-proof drinks menu. The design of Sunny’s is a modern interpretation of the white table-clothed steakhouse, with a light-filled 76-seat indoor dining space, private dining room, U-shaped dining bar, and expansive, 3,000 square-foot, Banyan-Tree-canopied patio with outdoor seating.
