After nearly 12 years shucking oysters in Edgewater, neighborhood favorite Mignonette has served its final plate. Chef and co-owner Danny Serfer broke the news on Saturday, leaving loyal regulars scrambling to say their goodbyes to the low-key spot that blended Old Florida with a hint of New Orleans on the plate.

In an emotional Instagram post, Serfer thanked guests and staff, writing, "After more than a decade of memories, laughter, and unforgettable moments, it’s time for us to say goodbye to Mignonette," as reported by Miami New Times. He confirmed that Saturday marked the restaurant's final service.
A Neighborhood Staple Since 2014
Mignonette opened its flagship Edgewater location in late 2014 and quickly became part of Miami’s oyster-bar wave, with a polished marble raw bar and a menu that paired refined seafood dishes with accessible shareable plates, Eater Miami reported. The snug dining room and ever-changing oyster marquee helped turn the spot into a go-to choice for both intimate dinners and celebratory nights out.
A Small Space With Big Reputation
Mignonette racked up local praise, including a Best Seafood Restaurant award in 2015 from Miami New Times, and drew regulars who said they celebrated anniversaries and even proposals at the tiny Edgewater haunt. The outlet highlighted the restaurant's deviled eggs and deep oyster lineup as standout favorites.

Serfer continues to run sister concepts including Blue Collar, and fans who want to keep supporting his work can find hours and reservation details at Blue Collar. Mignonette’s own website remains live as an online snapshot of its menu and story at mignonettemiami.com.
