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.

    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.

    The food and service were outstanding. There is an Asian fusion to most dishes making them standout from the crowd. The fish course was one of the best things I’ve eaten in a long time. Would fully recommend. Thanks Stephen for looking after us so well.

    Outstanding. Unpretentious Michelin star restaurant that has more than earned its star. Great service, not stuffy as many other starred restaurants. The flavor profile here is tremendous.

    Dinner was incredible. The perfect way to celebrate a birthday. The chefs menu was delicious, filling, and memorable. Highly recommend the Purple Haze drink as it was tasty and a cool presentation. The service was unforgettable - I believe his name was Jose (from Miami Springs) presented the dishes beautifully and really made us feel special.

    The restaurant has a cheap look (like a Chinese restaurant chain). The playlist is loud and mostly 1970’s Rock. The food is teaspoon sized and does not amount to a meal. The service is great.
