Michelin Starred Stubborn Seed is the result of pairing unrelenting passion with an unapologetic approach. It aims to unearth cravings of the palate while constructing a reward in each bite. This philosophy takes honest ingredients and elevates them. At the helm is 2022 James Beard Award Semi-Finalist and Bravo’s Top Chef Season 13 Winner, Chef Jeremy Ford. In 2022, Stubborn Seed was awarded one Michelin star in the highly coveted inaugural Florida guide.


Stubborn Seed is a tasting menu only restaurant, with the option of a la carte service or the tasting menu at the bar. Reservations are available for table service and also available for the bar. Dress code strictly enforced as smart-casual. We are unable to accommodate tasting menus for guests following a vegetarian or vegan diet.

A cancellation fee of $50 per person will incur if cancelled within 24 hours of the reservation. On holidays and special occasions, cancellations fees will be $100 per person.

From the OpenTable editors: "Top Chef" winner Jeremy Ford is racking up awards—including a coveted MICHELIN Star—for this sophisticated spot in South of Fifth. With a glass-encased kitchen, the restaurant’s interiors are as cool as the New American menu, serving standouts like a truffle chicken and a stellar sake and Japanese whisky selection.

    Celebrated husbands 50th birthday with holiday week chefs tasting menu. Absolutely wonderful culinary adventure. Elevated event worth the extra money and the champagne macaroon with caviar was my favorite. Thanks for such a fantastic chef tasting.

    Food was very good. Waiter was excellent. Took the kitchen a long time to bring out the food. Food is unique, but I prefer good old-fashioned steakhouse.

    I have been to Stubborn Seed many times since learning about it two years ago. As excellent and noteworthy as the menu and service have typically been, last night was a step beyond. Literally, every item in the menu was interesting, beautifully presented, and having wonderful contrasts and subtleties. Really, a sublime experience.

    One of the finest meals I have had in a long time. The dishes were creative yet elegant, thoughtful, and executed skillfully - the fresh ingredients of Chef Ford's garden were powerful and instrumental in the success of each of the dishes in which they were featured.

    When we are in Miami we always make a point to make a reservation at Stubborn Seed. The food never disappoints, the service is wonderful and Ana - the pastry chef, is an amazing talent by herself. The kitchen is helmed by a great chef and we always remark to each other when leaving that not only was our evening memorable - it was also a great value.
