About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
The Drexel is a sophisticated yet quaint, modern Mediterranean restaurant in Miami Beach. Named after the iconic street and built on the corner of a historical 1920’s village, The Drexel will transport you to the bygone era of Miami Beach.

Chef Nano Crespo brings his signature rustic, straight forward cooking style to The Drexel. Offering clean flavors from the charcoal grill and wood oven, the menu includes house made pasta and pizza with a heavy emphasis on locally sourced seafood and an entire section dedicated to vegetable dishes. The Drexel also features a uniquely curated wine list with boutique wines from Greece, France, Spain, and Italy. The cocktail list will thrill lovers of libations with favorites like The Drexel Margarita, made with mezcal, in-house organic infused agave with fresh citrus, and a toasted coconut salt rim that lets your mind drift off to a beachfront moment.

    We so enjoyed our dinner at The Drexel! All of the staff were wonderful and friendly. The ambience was fun as well — we sat outside on a perfect late April evening. The food was great too, I wish I could have tried more it all looked good. The restaurant is in a fun little section of Miami Beach which we were happy to have been able to explore before our reservation time.
