Here are key takeaways:

  • Gary Rack’s Farmhouse Kitchen plans to open in June at 3314 N. University Drive, though an exact date has not been announced.
  • Miami muralist Ruben Ubiera, 50, is painting a surrealist piece spanning two walls in the dining area, featuring oranges to represent Florida and goldfish swimming over an expo kitchen. “Nothing that you see here is by accident,” Ubiera said.
  • The space was designed by Pam Manhas of Manhas Design with a “distinctly urban aesthetic,” including concrete floors, open ceilings and bright red vintage birdcage light fixtures.
  • Ubiera has created murals for other South Florida spots including El Camino, The Mexican, Melt Crafted Grilled Cheese, Lucille’s, Tacocraft and Wynwood Brewery.
  • The menu will feature items such as the Kale Yeah salad, truffle mushroom flatbread and monster carrot cake. The restaurant will also serve brunch.
