Where Art and Cuisine Collide: The Joyce and The Window at The Joyce Redefine Miami Beach Dining
January 7, 2025 by Jacki Taylor
The culinary and art scenes of Miami Beach converge with the launch of The Joyce and The Window at The Joyce on historic Española Way. These two unique dining concepts are the debut ventures of Spicy Hospitality Group, co-founded by visionary art collector Andre Sakhai, entrepreneur Marc Lotenberg, and celebrated Chef James Taylor.
Set to redefine Miami’s culinary landscape, these ventures blend masterful cuisine with high art in spaces designed for both locals and visitors. Under the culinary leadership of Chef James Taylor, a Michelin-trained chef renowned for his precision and creativity, The Joyce and The Window at The Joyce promise an immersive and indulgent experience.
Opened in December 2024, The Window at The Joyce brings elevated American street fare to the heart of Miami Beach. Chef James Taylor, who spent three years perfecting his burger recipe, delivers a menu that includes burgers, chicken sandwiches, fried fish sandwiches, wings, chopped salads, and milkshakes.
Each dish is a testament to Taylor’s commitment to flavor and quality. His burgers, cooked on a hot griddle for a juicy, well-balanced bite, stand out as a must-try. Featuring a walk-up window and cozy outdoor patio seating, The Window offers a casual yet elevated dining experience.
Set to open on January 10th, 2025, The Joyce combines the sophistication of a modern steakhouse with the allure of a Prohibition-era speakeasy. The intimate 45-seat restaurant will serve a menu curated to delight the most discerning palates. Signature dishes include Caviar & Latkes, King Crab Scampi, Local Snapper Fillet Sandwich, and an internationally-sourced selection of steaks, alongside The Window's famed burger.
Complementing the cuisine, the cocktail program will be crafted by a master mixologist from Japan, and the wine list will feature over 100 meticulously selected labels curated by a leading sommelier.
The ambiance at The Joyce is equally captivating. Designed with a sophisticated aesthetic, the restaurant features collectible furniture, including iconic Gio Ponti dining chairs and Joe Colombo bar stools. Tucked behind dark green drapery, the space combines dim lighting, custom walnut millwork, and a rotating display of artwork from Andre Sakhai’s private collection, featuring works by Picasso, Basquiat, and emerging artists.
Andre Sakhai, a key patron of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, envisions The Joyce as a space where fine dining meets fine art. “With The Joyce and The Window, we’re bringing Miami Beach something rare: exceptional food crafted with high-caliber ingredients and meticulous technique, all at an accessible price point,” says Sakhai.
Chef James Taylor adds, “After years of perfecting recipes and techniques, I’m excited to bring bold, well-executed flavors to Miami Beach. From our King Crab Scampi to the classic burger, each dish is designed to create an unforgettable experience.”
Spicy Hospitality Group’s innovative approach to blending fine dining and art doesn’t stop here. With two more concepts planned for mid-2025, the group aims to continue setting new standards for refined, subtle luxury in the restaurant industry.
