EAT & DRINK

The Shelborne by Proper’s food and beverage program is led in partnership with the acclaimed Lowder-Tascarella team. At the helm: Florida Keys native and multi–Michelin-starred chef Abram Bissell, best known for his work at New York’s Eleven Madison Park, NoMad, and The Modern, and globally recognized beverage innovator Christopher Lowder.

Together, they bring a bold yet balanced point of view to Miami Beach, drawing from Latin American and Caribbean flavors, shaped by a commitment to ingredient integrity, vibrant energy, and seed-oil-free, wellness-forward culinary philosophy.

This perspective comes to life at Pauline, a coastal restaurant that celebrates South Florida seafood and Latin-Caribbean flavors in a clean, refined format. Little Torch, just steps away, offers a more intimate experience, serving rare spirits and signature cocktails in a low-lit space designed for quiet glamour and late-night conversation.

It’s dining with intention, rooted in place, rich in flavor, and designed to feel as good as it tastes.

Pauline

Pauline, located at 1801 Collins Avenue, is one of Miami’s most exciting new dining destinations. Led by Culinary Director Abram Bissell, a Florida Keys native with Michelin-starred experience at The Modern and Eleven Madison Park, Pauline is a love letter to South Florida’s coastal bounty, defined by precise technique, bold flavors, and the vibrant rhythms of the Caribbean and Latin America.

The seafood-forward menu showcases the ocean’s freshest offerings: Jonah Crab Claws, Conch Ceviche, and Key West Pink Shrimp from the raw bar; Rock Shrimp Fideos and Caviar Tostada among small plates; and standout entrées like Lobster & Mussel Sancocho and Turbot Encendido for the table. Every dish is crafted without seed oils, reflecting a commitment to cleaner, more balanced dining.

Named for Pauline Baker, wife and muse of famed cocktail writer Charles H. Baker Jr., the restaurant embodies the couple’s spirit of romance, travel, and discovery. Their journeys through Latin America and Deco-era Miami inspire every detail, from design to flavor.
