Fresh American Bistro, aka F.A.B, is a seasonally charged, casually refined American Bistro concept located at the Sole on the Ocean Resort and Spa in the heart of Sunny Isles Beach. Overseen by a Michelin-starred executive chef Phillip Ruiz, F.A.B’s culinary team is dedicated to a fresh and seasonal cuisine that highlights products from local farms, fisheries, and artisan producers.

Outfitted in a classic Americana style with subtle nautical references, the interior concept was conceived by hospitality creator Stephane Dupoux, who is credited with developing some of the most successful hospitality concepts worldwide, which include Buddha Bar, Nikki Beach and Seasalt and Pepper.
