Eos Garden Mediterranean restaurant is now open at the Water Pump House in Miami<\/p>\n

Mozes Ban<\/p>\n

A new Mediterranean restaurant has opened at one of Miami\u2019s historic buildings.<\/p>\n

Named for the Greek goddess of dawn, Eos Garden is now open at the Water Pump House<\/a>, a native coral rock and Dade slash pine house built in 1923. The house\u2019s original purpose was to provide water for the Bay Shore subdivision of Miami but was no longer needed by 1925, when the city of Miami annexed the neighborhood. It became a private residence for a short time and was later designated a historic site.<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s Eos Garden\u2019s turn. The restaurant, from hospitality veteran Ilyas Ortatepe and chef Halit Avuka, has transformed the property into an atmospheric garden, with outdoor dining (and several tables indoors with a sprawling bar as well).<\/p>\n

Ortatepe said that the restaurant\u2019s myriad influences \u2014 Greek, Turkish, Anatolian, Levantine \u2014 mesh with creating a space where culture connects guests.<\/p>\n

\u201cRestaurants have the ability to bring people together in a way few other spaces can,\u201d he said. \u201cWe wanted to create a place that feels welcoming from the moment guests arrive, an environment where hospitality, culture and authentic connection unfold naturally and without effort.\u201d<\/p>\n

The menu features Mediterranean delicacies, starting with mezze like hummus, muhammara (a walnut and red pepper dip) and whipped feta spreads. There\u2019s babaganoush, of course, as well as stuffed eggplant.<\/p>\n

You can also start the meal with seafood items like sea bass carpaccio and grilled octopus or move straight toward entrees like Adana lamb kebab, char-grilled lamb chops, whole sea bass or Aegean moussaka.<\/p>\n

The wine list highlights Turkish wine, which lends the restaurant\u2019s Mediterranean credence.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a region defined by its diversity, generosity and enduring culture of sharing,\u201d Avuka explained. \u201cEvery dish carries with it a sense of place and memory, telling a story of where we have come from and the traditions that continue to shape and inspire our cooking today.\u201d<\/p>\n
