The concept first opened in the Atlanta area before expanding to South Florida.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Co-owner Ebony Austin said the restaurant is designed to offer more than just a meal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re really like Cheers, but reimagined, with a twist,\u201d she said. \u201cThat twist is our food. That twist is that experience we give our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Austin and business partner Yandy Smith say they want guests to feel at home while celebrating Black culture and community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Smith described the restaurant as \u201ca little bit soul, a little bit culture, with a little bit class. And it\u2019s really about community and having a good time when you come here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The entrepreneurs say they\u2019re hands-on in the day-to-day operation of the restaurant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cYou might see Yandy behind the bar, at the host stand. You might see me in the kitchen. We really work,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Beyond serving food, the owners say they\u2019re focused on building something that lasts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cThis space here is all about legacy making sure the people behind us know that we built this with love,\u201d Smith added. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Community remains at the center of that mission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cOne thing that\u2019s been super important to us is community,\u201d Smith said. \u201cMaking sure we take care of our people, our culture and plant seeds that are representative of Black excellence everywhere we go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The menu blends southern comfort food with Caribbean flavors, offering dishes such as chicken and sweet potato waffles, Cajun seafood grits and other island-inspired favorites.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The restaurant also emphasizes entertainment, with weekend brunch drawing crowds for live music and DJs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re going to see me on the dance floor every time,\u201d Smith added. \u201cDon\u2019t judge me if my shoes are off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Smith said the goal is to create an atmosphere that keeps guests coming back long after the meal is over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m usually leaving almost about two, three in the morning because people just don\u2019t want to go home,\u201d she said. \u201cWe have some of the best DJs that come to create the experience and the vibe. We have some entertainment. We have karaoke night. We\u2019re getting ready to start comedy night. So just stay tuned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The owners say they\u2019re also preparing to launch R&amp;B nights. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Nouveau Miami is open every day except Monday.
