South Floridians and visitors have more reason to spend the day at Sawgrass Mills following the spring debut of three new restaurants. The openings of Matchbox American Kitchen + Spirit, Texas de Brazil, and mojito bar & plates by Douglas Rodriguez add to the mall’s robust culinary options, providing shoppers with more variety and convenience to include in their itineraries. Sawgrass Mills currently features more than one dozen full-service restaurants and two food halls with several dining options.

Whether in need of a casual lunch spot for a quick bite while shopping, a fun environment to enjoy ‘Happy Hour’ with friends, or a dining experience that satisfies the entire family, shoppers and residents will find just what they’re looking for at Sawgrass Mills.

As part of The Oasis’ recent renovation, the mall’s outdoor neighborhood now offers two new dining options, including:

mojito bar & plates by Douglas Rodriguez (2,998 sq. ft.) – Chef-driven, Latin food concept mojito bar & plates by Douglas Rodriguez brings their signature “servertainers” to The Oasis at Sawgrass Mills. Featuring live entertainment with rotating DJs, hand-muddled mojitos and authentic fare, mojito bar combines traditional Cuban flavors with a lively atmosphere for an unforgettable meal, ideal for casual lunch or dinner.

Texas de Brazil (6,500 sq. ft.) – The Brazilian steakhouse features a unique selection of meats along with a curated salad bar for an authentic dining experience in The Oasis. The restaurant can accommodate more than 200 guests with an open-view grill in the dining area, a wine wall, and a cozy lounge area.
The Oasis now features extensive seating options, accent and area lighting to enhance the nighttime experience, and a canopy of shade structures and tropical landscaping. Convenient charging stations, a new valet drop-off area, and an updated directory and wayfinding system have also been introduced to enhance the guest experience.
The Colonnade Outlets, known for its exclusive collection of luxury stores, has recently expanded. Now, shoppers will find 70 top designer brands, 60 of which can be found nowhere else in South Florida, such as newcomers Saint Laurent, The Kooples, Sandro and Maje. Dining options include six restaurants with Matchbox American Kitchen + Spirit (described below) being the latest addition.
Matchbox American Kitchen + Spirit (14,333 sq. ft.) – Popular culinary spot Matchbox introduces the first establishment in Florida for the brand. The Sawgrass Mills venue is the largest yet for the eatery, with seating capacity for about 500 within indoor and outdoor areas. Matchbox features brick-oven pizza, pasta, burgers and contemporary cuisine with an open-floor, modern design.

“We are thrilled to add these three distinct dining options to our stellar line-up of offerings as part of our commitment to providing a convenient and enjoyable experience at Sawgrass Mills,” said David Gott, General Manager, Sawgrass Mills. “Our unmatched amenities and services continue to solidify our stance as a shopping and dining destination for all occasions, and we look forward to more upcoming developments.”
