Las Olas Boulevard is about to get its most theatrical dining room in years. Caviar Club, a 1980s-style steakhouse and late-night lounge where the Dover sole is filleted at the table and the French dip comes with its jus in Baccarat crystal, is set to open this fall at 833 E. Las Olas Blvd. in downtown Fort Lauderdale. It is the first restaurant from Falsetto Hospitality, the new company of Fort Lauderdale restaurateur Marc Falsetto.

If the name Falsetto does not ring a bell, his restaurants probably do. He is the operator behind Tacocraft, Pizza Craft and Apothecary 330, and in 2023 he led the relaunch of Anthony's Runway 84, the longtime Fort Lauderdale Italian restaurant on State Road 84. Caviar Club is his bet that Las Olas is ready for something far louder than a neighborhood red sauce joint.

More is more, on purpose

The look is deliberate excess. The company describes the design as 1980s maximalism, and the room is being built by Garrett Singer Studio, a New York design firm, around rich woods, Art Deco lighting, animal prints, Dolce & Gabbana fabrics, custom furniture and custom staff uniforms. Guests on the list get a private VIP entrance.

It is also meant to change character as the night goes on. Caviar Club opens as a dinner room and turns into a late-night lounge with a DJ, so the same booth that hosts a steak dinner at eight can be the center of a party by midnight. On a boulevard where most of the action happens outdoors, that is a different kind of Las Olas night.

It will be big. State records show plans for roughly 185 seats across the 829 to 833 block of East Las Olas, which puts it among the larger rooms on the street.

What is on the table

Underneath the theater, the kitchen is an American steakhouse cooked with fine dining technique, with caviar turning up across the menu. Expect:

  • Tableside service: Dover sole filleted at the table, and dry-aged and Wagyu steaks carved to order in the dining room.
  • A French dip like no other: the jus arrives in a Baccarat crystal dish, which is about as on-brand as a sandwich can get.
  • Caviar everywhere: on its own as a service, and on top of the Wagyu.
  • A serious bar: a list of more than 300 French and American wines, prestige champagnes, and a martini program modeled on two famous New York rooms, Bemelmans Bar and the bar at The St. Regis.

The kitchen is led by executive chef Jeremy Loya, whose resume runs through Soho House, Desert Mountain Club and the Michelin-recognized Caldera House, with stops in Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas and Scottsdale. Desserts come from Alicia Montalvo, Falsetto Hospitality's corporate pastry chef, who draws on her El Salvadoran heritage and will oversee pastry across all of the company's restaurants.

The Founding 100

Caviar Club is also launching with a members' tier. The Founding 100 is an invitation-only club capped at 100 members, run by Lindsay Shapiro, a luxury client specialist who previously worked with high-net-worth clients at Moët Hennessy and founded a contemporary art gallery in Miami. Members get priority reservations and preferred seating, a dedicated concierge, private monthly events, menu previews and off-menu tastings, plus access to rare bottles through the club's partnerships with Dom Pérignon, Opus One, Macallan and other LVMH brands.

You do not need a membership to eat there. The public restaurant is the main event, and the website is already collecting names for opening news.

A big season for that stretch of Las Olas

Caviar Club is not landing alone. A short walk east, at 904 E. Las Olas, Naia, a fire-driven Mediterranean restaurant from The Restaurant People, is coming to the corner many locals still know as the old Mango's. Between the two, the blocks between Southeast Eighth and Southeast Tenth avenues are set to add more than 400 seats of new dining this season, and two very different ideas of what a night out on Las Olas should feel like.

When it opens

Falsetto Hospitality has said fall 2026, and the restaurant's own site promises Las Olas in 2026 without a date yet. The way to be first in the door is the sign-up form at caviarclubftl.com, which takes names for news, announcements and the opening.

For downtown Fort Lauderdale, Caviar Club is a statement that Las Olas can do glamour on the scale of South Beach or Palm Beach without anyone having to drive there. For everyone else, it is the place to book the next big birthday, the anniversary dinner or the night you want a martini that tastes like New York and a room that looks like 1986.
