Alpareno Restaurant Group announces today that Chef Niven Patel, will open a new restaurant concept named Orno on October 14, 2021. This highly anticipated launch from Food & Wine Magazine’s Best New Chef 2020 comes on the heels of Chef Patel’s successful Mamey restaurant, which also opened last year at THesis Hotel. Orno is a true farm-to-table restaurant concept heavily focused on fresh, quality ingredients sourced from Chef Niven’s farm in Homestead, Florida known as Rancho Patel. Many of the 35-plus varieties of seasonal greens, fruits and vegetables that he grows can be found on the menu, including okra, which Chef Patel grew from seeds brought back from India. Orno focuses on New American cuisine centered around locally-sourced vegetables, the highest quality meats and sustainably caught seafood. Wood-fired culinary creations are complimented by specialty cocktails in a sophisticated yet laid-back ambiance. Designed by Saladino Design Studios, Orno unfolds like a culinary showroom orbiting around an open-kitchen concept with marble bar seating where guests are invited to witness craftsmanship at its finest. Featuring a built-in, fresh produce display and wood-fired oven, the open kitchen was designed with materials that will cure and age naturally. The fire-brick wall is intended to subtly evolve as it absorbs the colors of the smoke, evoking the authenticity of Orno as a story not told overnight, but over time. Given Orno’s philosophy, it was important to create an intimate space that felt upscale, yet inviting. The color palette was inspired by the green leafy herbs, golden tones of turnips, and the earthy tones of soil found on Chef Patel’s farm. These colors are reflected in the fern-green tile and moss-green ceiling, in the warmth of the walnut planters suspended from the ceiling and in the elegance of the brass accents on the fixtures and cabinetry. An architectural feel is brought to the space through the curves of the chairs, banquettes and geometric pendant lighting that lends to an airy, yet structured ambiance. The back bar, side walls and center column feature a magnificent array of green and white custom tile work where each piece has been hand-cut. Staying true to Orno’s nature, the tile has undergone a wood-firing which allows the clay and the ashes to disperse and fuse creating an alchemy of tones within the same tile. The terrazzo’s confetti of colorful marble, quartz, granite and glass dances across a floor anchored by leather banquettes and a built-in, back-lit wine display. Nestled within Orno is The Library- the restaurant’s seductive private dining room with intimate seating for 20 guests. The hideaway features floor-to-ceiling bookshelves hand painted in navy with yellow accents filled with classic books, and velvet blush drapes. Tying the vision is a neon sign reading “Knowledge is the food of the soul,” a quote from the philosopher Plato. The ‘library of classics’ found within are part of the inspiration behind Orno’s extensive menu of signature libations based on famous literary figures. “My goal is to bring people together and invite guests to be a part of the process. As guests walk into the dining room they are greeted by our open-kitchen concept where they can see the food being prepared, smell the garlic as it hits the pan, hear the sizzle of steak as it’s being basted and feel the warmth of the fire as a dish slides out of the wood oven. Dining at Orno is a journey the entices all the senses.” Explains Chef Niven. Orno is a play on the Spanish horno, which means oven and it’s exactly that which lies at the heart of the restaurant. The impressive wood- fired oven is the star dish maker but also part of what makes the guest experience. “There is a certain finesse to cooking with an open flame, a danger, a risk, and ultimately a chance to impress. This finesse carries through the carefully curated Orno experience.” Adds Mohamed Alkassar, Founding Partner of Alpareno. Orno offers an impressive seasonal menu that takes guests on a gastronomic journey with small and large plates, wood-fired pizzas and savory sides. Each dish on the menu can stand on its own or come together to create a beautiful tapestry of flavors. The menu opens with small plates that range from the vegetarian-friendly Roasted Summer Squash ($14), squash blossom served with herb yogurt, sumac and toasted almonds; and Vadouvan Cauliflower ($14), with pickled apples, Aleppo pepper and lemon; to seafood standouts including Red Snapper Crudo ($17), topped with mango, Thai basil, smoked olive oil and Espelette peppers; and Grilled Octopus ($19), with potato confit, pimenton aioli, and celery. Indulgent pastas include Rigatoni ($22) served with tomato ragù, sun dried tomatoes and basil butter, and the Bucatini ($21), featuring Sunray Venus Clams served with a shallot confit and Calabrian chili peppers. The only restaurant in North America serving this clam varietal, Orno sources their Sunray Venus Clams locally. Rounding out the small plates is Roasted Bone Marrow ($26), served with a shallot marmalade, horseradish and orange; Beef Tartare ($20), with smoked chili oil, pickled black trumpet and egg yolk; and Jamon Iberico de Fermin ($28), served with six-month Manchego and peach chutney. Specialty large plates include entrees from the land and sea including a Whole Grilled Branzino ($72) topped with a fennel sofrito; Wood Oven Roasted Black Grouper ($34), with marinated butter beans and cascabel chili; Australian Lamb Rack ($42), with Medjool dates, coriander and mint; a Wood Fired Half Chicken ($42), with harissa and jardineria; Iberico Pork Pluma ($34) with peperona; and the A5 Wagyu Sirloin 6oz. ($62) with single harvest olive oil and grey sea salt. Guests can elevate any plate with a variety of perfectly paired sides large enough to share including Roasted Mushrooms ($15), with black truffle butter and fine herbs; Grilled Okra ($10), with olive oil and black pepper; Vidalia Onion Gratin ($10) with gruyere cheese; and Broccolini ($9), with Caesar dressing and smoked Manchego. Unique cocktails inspired by literary classics include the Holly Golightly ($16), a revitalizing cocktail mixed with St. Germaine and a lavender bitter soaked sugar cube topped with champagne; and the Master Copperfield ($14), Wray and Nephew Jamaican Overproof Rum torched with lemon peel and sugar, Hennessy Cognac, black tea and lemon; drawing from the legendary Truman Capote’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” and Charles Dickens’ “David Copperfield,” respectively. Orno brings the Ernest Hemingway enduring novel, “The Sun Also Rises” to life with the Jack Rose ($14), made with Courvoisier Cognac VS, Copper and Kings Brandy, pomegranate reduction and fresh lime; and the Old Sport ($15), inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby,” with Maker's Mark Bourbon, muddled lemon, mint and Angostura Bitters. Guests are also invited to imbibe from an innovative and refreshing mocktail menu or the notable 400-bottle wine cellar featuring a wide selection of pairable unique and diverse wines. When selecting the wines for Orno’s wine list, which features over 100 different varietals from sparkling and rosé to white and red vintages, Chef Patel took the time to pair each of the wines with the restaurant’s signature dishes. Focusing on the quality of each blend, Chef Patel worked with growers and vineyards who specialize in sustainable and biodynamic harvesting practices as he hand-picked the expansive portfolio of global wines. Orno is the latest concept to open under Chef Patel’s evolving Alpareno Restaurant Group umbrella, which also includes the lauded Ghee Indian Kitchen as well as last year’s newcomer Mamey. With Orno, Alpareno Restaurant Group will continue to grow as one of the nation’s leading hospitality brands by offering guests an immersive culinary experience with a dedication to outstanding cuisine. “Alpareno Restaurant Group plans to further cement it’s legacy as a culinary innovator bringing another tasteful concept to the South Florida market, says Alkassar. Orno will be open for dinner Tuesday through Thursday and Sundays from 5:30PM to 10PM, and Friday and Saturday from 5:30PM to 11PM.

ART MIAMI HIGHLIGHTS • Art of the World Gallery, Houston, will debut a masterpiece from one of the world’s greatest living artists, Fernando Botero. Few can claim the ubiquity of Fernando Botero, an artist whose oeuvre is instantly recognizable and internationally revered. The sensuous, voluptuous curves and exaggerated forms of his figures are emblematic of an artist whose practice spans generations, techniques, and continents. With an artistic trajectory of over six decades, he is one of the world’s most prolific artists and is one of the few who creates works across almost all mediums.

Columbia Care Inc., one of the largest and most experienced cultivators, manufacturers and providers of cannabis products in the U.S., today announced it has received approval from the Florida Department of Health’s Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU) to operate as Cannabist. Effective immediately, Columbia Care’s 14 dispensary locations across the state will be renamed to Cannabist. Locations include: Cape Coral, Gainesville, Jacksonville, Melbourne, Miami, Orlando, Longwood, Bonita Springs, Bradenton, Brandon, Delray Beach, St. Augustine, Stuart and Sarasota. Patients will continue to have access to the same high-quality cannabis products at their preferred dispensaries and will begin seeing retail improvements that reflect the new Cannabist brand and shopping experience. “This approval signals the next chapter for our footprint and development in Florida,” said Jesse Channon, Columbia Care’s Chief Growth Officer. “Since the beginning of the year, we have introduced a number of new products, such as edibles, and patients now have more than 100 products to choose from across our 14 locations. We are grateful to the State’s Office of Medical Marijuana Use who supported us in this decision and look forward to building on the momentum to share the true Cannabist experience with Floridians over the coming months.” In addition to the 14 dispensary locations, Columbia Care has more than 100,000 square feet of cultivation and manufacturing capacity in the state, including more than 38,000 square feet of greenhouse space in Alachua that completed its first harvest in June. Launched earlier this summer, Cannabist is Columbia Care’s new retail brand that provides a higher experience built on passion, technology innovation, community commitment and product standards. Cannabist dispensaries center around making cannabis shopping approachable and straightforward, accommodating the vast range of experience levels patients may have when they walk through the doors. Technology will enable a seamless and personalized shopping experience anywhere, from in-store to at-home. In the coming months, each Cannabist location will introduce Forage, Columbia Care’s proprietary online cannabis discovery tool that syncs with local dispensary menus enabling real-time product suggestions and pre-orders, and will also leverage existing solutions, such as Virtual.Care, the virtual shopping platform. Columbia Care assets in Florida will now be reported as Cannabist in the weekly OMMU reports. For more information, visit www.gocannabist.com/florida. By ML Staff.

After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, Redwood Art Group, the nation’s leader in exhibitions and event production, media, and marketing for the global fine art community, announces its return to Wynwood Arts District with their flagship art fairs, two of the longest running fairs during Miami Art Week. Spectrum Miami and Red Dot Miami will return to Mana Wynwood, offering a “Two Fairs Under One Roof” experience for both exhibitors and art enthusiasts during this year’s Miami Art Week, taking place December 1—5, 2021. The fairs will cover more than 100,000 square feet of indoor exhibition, all within walking distance of Wynwood’s trendiest restaurants, bars, and retail boutiques. “We’re excited to be back to live in-person events after such a long pause and thrilled to be at Mana Wynwood again for Miami Art Week,” says Eric Smith, president of Redwood Art Group. “The last two years have been extremely challenging for everyone. We’re pleased to have survived and able to bring collectors and artists and galleries together again. The newly reconfigured space at Mana Wynwood offers us a renewed opportunity to offer an esthetically pleasing environment for showcasing the best the contemporary art world has to offer. Exhibitors and attendees alike can look forward to an unprecedented level of luxury over the five days. We’re very excited to unveil the new look and welcome everyone back to Spectrum Miami and Red Dot Miami.” Spectrum Miami and Red Dot Miami form the acclaimed contemporary and fine art experience that collectively presents some of today’s most coveted national and international galleries and artists from the U.S and around the world. Redwood Media Group exclusively produces the two art shows housed in one location—considered to be the only multi-show production of its kind during Miami Art Week. Spectrum Miami, an upscale and urban curated contemporary art fair, now in its 11th year, will be located adjacent to its sister fair, Red Dot Miami. Spectrum Miami presents special programs and site-specific exhibitions that showcase the thriving art landscape of the city, informed by the 2021 curatorial theme [DOUBLE TAKE]. Art creates a deeper awareness of the experience of seeing. It asks the viewer to pay attention, slow down. It inspires viewers to look closer. Spectrum Miami showcases independent career artists, studios, and younger galleries that are pushing the boundaries in surprising and significant ways, encouraging us to take a closer look. Spectrum Miami is also where contemporary meets extraordinary, featuring the works of more than 200 exhibiting galleries and artists from the Florida region, the U.S. and around the globe. Known for its urban and upscale works of art, the five-day show attracts more than 35,000 visitors and high-net-worth collectors who interact with the specially curated programming, while celebrating the fine art experience with music, entertainment, and other special events. Spectrum Miami features Art Labs providing collectors with a focused look at several prominent exhibitors, each creating a site-specific exhibition, and the Spotlight Program, showcasing a specially selected group of artists who represent unique approaches to their art. The complete Spectrum Miami program will be announced in November. Red Dot Miami, a curated gallery-only contemporary art fair, now in its 16th year, will be located adjacent to Spectrum Miami as part of the highly anticipated annual presentation of leading galleries and their artists. Red Dot Miami presents [REVEAL] as the curatorial theme for 2021. Artists pursue truth and attempt to reveal what they discover, uncovering truths about how the world works, about humanity, about themselves. Their art is a tool, a way of investigating the world and ourselves. Red Dot Miami is showcasing galleries from around the world that present artists who are helping us frame a better picture of our human nature and discover what art reveals about you. Red Dot Miami illuminates the best the contemporary art world has to offer. The theme forms a common thread throughout the special exhibits and programming that showcases exhibitors, art industry professionals, and select nonprofits and institutions. Red Dot Miami features more than 65 galleries representing over 500 leading contemporary artists from primary and secondary markets throughout the world. The five-day show attracts more than 35,000 visitors and high-net-worth collectors who interact with the specially curated programming, which includes the Spotlight Program, a focused look at several cutting-edge galleries chosen by the Redwood Media Group selection committee; and Art Labs, a series of outstanding projects by leading galleries, art institutions, and art collectives within the show. The complete Red Dot Miami program will be announced in November. Spectrum Miami and Red Dot Miami have grown to become the ultimate destination for the fine art industry professional and contemporary art enthusiast who collectively seek a more accessible experience with exhibits showcasing the world’s most progressive portfolios by some of today’s elite artists, galleries, dealers, and emerging talents. With more than 35,000 attendees flocking to see the artwork of the 1,000+ artists showcased by over 270 exhibitors, these are two non-stop, not-to-be missed destination Miami Art Week shows.
