Introducing ’s Executive Chef, Anthony Micari.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Originally from New York, Chef Anthony Micari began his culinary career in the Northeast, refining his craft in acclaimed kitchens across Philadelphia, New Jersey, Miami, and New York. With more than two decades of experience in high-end kitchens in the U.S. and abroad, he is known for his creative approach, operational expertise, and commitment to team leadership.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Micari’s career includes a notable tenure with Starr Restaurants, where he served as Executive Sous Chef at Makoto in Miami’s Bal Harbour Shops. Now, his journey comes full circle as he leads the opening of SLIM’S in the restaurant’s original space — bringing a modern perspective to a location that helped define Miami’s luxury dining landscape. His experience within multi-concept, high-volume environments shaped his reputation as a trusted leader in refined, guest-driven hospitality.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Prior to SLIM’S, Micari held executive roles at The Country Club at DC Ranch, Sun Valley Resort, and Mourad, as well as internationally at Asiatique by Jean-Georges at La Mamounia in Marrakech. Across each chapter of his career, he has played a key role in high-profile openings and overseen complex kitchen operations with precision and excellence.

What people say

New American restaurants are known for their innovative approach to cuisine, blending traditional American flavors with global influences. Upland, located on Park Avenue S in New York, is a prime example of this culinary philosophy. Chef Justin Smillie's menu is inspired by the seasons and features a mix of rustic and refined dishes.

One standout item on the menu is the Breakfast Pizza, which defies convention by combining classic breakfast ingredients like bacon and eggs with pizza crust. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich is another elevated classic, featuring avocado, alfalfa sprouts, and a spicy harissa aioli.

But it's not just the food that sets Upland apart - the ambiance is also noteworthy. With golden lighting and Parisian-inspired decor, Upland offers a romantic atmosphere perfect for date night. And for those looking to indulge their sweet tooth, Upland's Tres Leches cake and homemade ice cream are sure to satisfy.

Overall, Upland offers a unique dining experience that blends California-inspired cuisine with global influences in an elegant setting.
