You could send a CEO to Seia. The Italian restaurant on the 54th floor of a Brickell tower has a corporate gravitas that this finance neighborhood will surely find useful. The Italian food won’t quite lure non-Brickell residents on its own (at least not yet). There are perfectly pleasant dishes, like a penne ‘nduja and a seafood fritto misto, but the flavors are muted compared to the panoramic view from the terrace. On our visit, they weren’t seating people out there yet (we were told it’d happen by April, weather permitting), but when they do, it’ll make the prices here feel 17% more justified. Seia makes Brickell feel like the big city it so badly wants to be, and if we were Cipriani, we’d be shaking in our boots at the fact that this new business dinner contender is right next door.
