Miami’s hospitality scene has reached new heights with the grand debut of Harbour Club, a sophisticated social and culinary haven nestled in the vibrant Sunset Harbour of Miami Beach. Inspired by the iconic private clubs of London, Harbour Club combines elevated dining, exclusive memberships, and a luxurious design to create a one-of-a-kind destination for discerning guests and global tastemakers. With its dual concept of a public-facing restaurant and private members-only spaces, Harbour Club is setting a new standard for Miami’s social scene.
A Global Culinary Journey
At the heart of Harbour Club’s offerings is a’Riva, a Mediterranean-Italian restaurant that welcomes the public by reservation. Helmed by Chef Michele Esposito, whose culinary pedigree includes stints at Casa Tua and the three-Michelin-starred Villa Crespi, a’Riva serves inventive dishes inspired by Esposito’s Neapolitan roots and founder James Julius’ love for the Mediterranean.
The menu features standout creations like Meatballs Angelina, a family recipe with eggplant, San Marzano tomatoes, and parmesan, and the light yet flavorful Eggplant Milanese with za’atar, tahini, and feta. For seafood lovers, the hamachi crudo with mint and grapes is a must-try, while pasta enthusiasts will delight in the spaghetti alla Nerano. Guests can finish their meal with the signature pistachio ice cream, made à la minute for a decadent finale.
The restaurant’s chic aesthetic, with al fresco seating, lush greenery, and a sleek bar perfect for late-night amaros, transports diners to the Italian Riviera.
Private Members-Only Spaces
Beyond a’Riva’s welcoming doors lies the exclusive world of Harbour Club. Members are invited into two ultra-luxe spaces:
Palm Room: An intimate speakeasy-style lounge combining tropical charm with the sophistication of a private club. With its plush velvet furnishings, walnut finishes, and curated cocktails paired with light bites, Palm Room offers a sultry escape from the ordinary.

With fresh fish flown in daily from Japan, Nikai’s menu features Wagyu and truffle crispy rice, wasabi Caesar saladwith nori chips, and toro toasts, alongside an extensive selection of sake, Japanese whiskey, and fine wines.
