7 Postcards
Located in the charming Española Way, The Drexel offers a chic Mediterranean dining experience with delicious bites, delightful cocktails, and a relaxed atmosphere perfect for unwinding.
"The Drexel now offers a special Sundowner Happy Hour, every weekday from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. and weekends from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., featuring $10 cocktails, wine, and appetizers, alongside $5 beers. Sip on cocktails like the Greek Goddess or the Drexel Margarita while indulging in Mediterranean-inspired bites—from Italian fennel sausage with homemade mustard to Margherita pizzettas. The views are pretty hard to beat, too." - Olee Fowler
"Nestled inside Esmé Hotel, this casual chic Mediterranean under the talented vision of chef Nano Crespo offers a skirt steak with bearnaise sauce and hand-cut fries." - Alona Martinez
"The paseo walkways in the 'village,' more recently utilitarian spaces for restaurant staff, have been restored to the architect’s original design from nearly a century ago. Outfitted with café tables and picturesque nooks for al fresco dining, they connect guest rooms with spaces like the Mediterranean restaurant The Drexel." - Mitchell Friedman
"The Drexel feels like the CEO of a wellness company’s vacation home. It has a crisp, pristine, minimalist interior that gives one the urge to take off one’s shoes and do a breathing exercise. The space is relaxing and beautiful, especially at night, with flickering candles on each table and an ocean breeze coming through the open doors. The food here—a mix of grilled veggies, proteins, pasta, and pizza—is also paired down to just the essentials. And while that aesthetic philosophy makes for a lovely dining room, it doesn’t translate to the food as well. It's difficult to tell if there is any dressing at all on the green salad, and the $30 flat-iron organic chicken—while tasty—is literally just a $30 half-chicken on a plate. Still, the food is solid (especially the pasta options) and the price point isn’t that outrageous considering the restaurant’s location on Española Way. This is no doubt one of the touristy street’s best options, and we’d come back here to sit at the bar because the cocktails are great." - Ryan Pfeffer
"But now The Drexel and Tropezon are bringing even more locals back to the magical South Beach street." - Olee Fowler
