Our History

Our Story and Culinary Passion

Flight West will open its doors in May 2026, introducing a restaurant and cocktail lounge concept rooted in New World cuisine and a whiskey-forward beverage program. Designed to resonate both locally and across Miami’s broader dining landscape, the concept brings a composed dining and cocktail experience to South Miami through thoughtful hospitality, live-fire cooking, and a strong bar identity.

Located in the Sunset Drive corridor of South Miami, Flight West represents the next evolution of the original Flight West in Rochester, New York, a restaurant and bar recognized for its curated whiskey program, polished hospitality, and loyal following. The Rochester location became known for its extensive whiskey collection, globally sourced wine program, and hospitality-driven approach to dining and cocktails. Flight West – Miami carries that foundation forward through the lens of South Florida’s culinary and cultural influence.
