2 New Hotel-Based Restaurants on Tap

Two fine-dining restaurants based in hotels are slated to open shortly. They are:

* Brooklyn Chop House (New York), which will soon offer its classic steakhouse/Asian-inspired cuisine to Miami. Slated to debut Nov. 11 on the seventh-floor penthouse at Moxy Miami Wynwood, the two-level dining/nightlife complex will have about 20,000 square feet of space. The chain’s original two locales are both in New York (Times Square and Downtown-Nassau Street.)

* Orexi, offering Mediterranean/California fresh coastal cuisine, will open in late November in the new Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown Little Italy (formerly the Little Italy Hotel). Designed by Premier Design + Build Group (Dallas), the 89-seat breakfast-and-dinner restaurant will feature clean lines, soft earth tones and natural textures, project participants say.
