Chefs Jeff McInnis & Janine Booth are opening a seafood concept on Purdy Ave. in the old Joe Allen’s location, 1787 Purdy Ave, Miami Beach. They are excited about the spot and would like to build out the rooftop into an amazing dining space where you will enjoy the sunset view over the Miami Harbor 365 days a year. In order to build this rooftop deck, which is critical to the success of this project, we need your help with City Hall. The city and some locals have noise related concerns with building a restaurant with an outdoor deck in Sunset Harbor. This new concept does not include loud music that would be easily heard by any of the surrounding neighbors. Jeff and Janine simply want to be able to have background music suitable for a high quality dining establishment. They have even hired an engineer to do an acoustical study, and he has confirmed that there will be no negative noise impact on neighboring properties and noise levels in the area will not increase.

As many of you may know, Jeff and Janine have owned and operated plenty of well-established and fun restaurants in Miami and NYC, including Gigi’s, Yardbird, and Root & Bone. What they ask is that you sign this online petition and if possible, send an e-mail to Mr. Thomas Mooney at the City of Miami Beach government ThomasMooney@miamibeachfl.gov explaining how you believe this new concept will enhance the Sunset Harbor area and will not increase noise levels from simple ambient music on the rooftop deck. Feel free to add as many positive words as you like and please get as many local Miamians to help.

Thank you in advance for your help and we are looking forward to feeding you soon!
