Ladies who lunch at Cye's, circa 1982
This hunt for info may just be snippets. Above, an ad from the Miami Herald for Cye's.
From Tripadvisor: a poster commented that her husband worked in the same building as the Capital Grille, which took over from Cye's Rivergate, and that he worked there for over 35 years.
Clicking the link, the Capital Grille is open, and took reservations for Mother's Day. Family style dinners for $150, I'm getting hungry.
Etsy and Pinterest revealing the typical things for sale: menus, drink ware, matchbook covers.
Random from the Miami Sun-Sentinel, 1989, says Cye's is the place to go after a game featuring the brand-new Miami Heat. It's for "the sophisticated set, serving up pricey steaks, crab, and seafood." Special late-night menu for basketball fans!
It would appear owner Cye Mandel sold his place between 1989 - 1999, as he also parted with his more famous Coral Gables restaurant, a favorite of former President Richard Nixon.
Digging into page 2 of my google search, and some court papers popped up. Scandals!
And finally, an article on south Florida real estate says Cye's was instrumental in bringing nightlife to the financial district back in the 80s. The building has since evolved to condos, office space, a hotel, and the before mentioned Capital Grille.
