Jonathan Eismann
Guide to Miami
Miami?s Design District is home to Jonathan Eismann, the revered force behind Pacific Time. His efforts at the contemporary American restaurant, which perfectly blend in Pan Asian influences, have not gone unnoticed. In addition to the hordes of foodies who flock to his venue every night, he has also earned top honors from national publications, including being named as one of the 20 Best New Restaurants in 2008, as well as James Beard Award nominations. |
