Just weeks after promoting new menu offerings, one of South Beach’s most renowned brunch restaurants has suddenly closed its doors. Famed Miami Beach restaurant Yardbird has abruptly closed after 15 years. New Times learned of the closure from a reader who arrived at the restaurant on Wednesday, August 5. The reader sent New Times three photos depicting what appears to be glass doors and two farewell notices taped to the glass. However, Yardbird’s website is still advertising regular hours, reservations, weekend brunch, and online ordering for Miami Beach.
