REVIEWS
OUR HISTORY
From the desk of Adriana Perez Benatar: With over a combined 28 years of industry experience, my team and I specialize in developing polished casual restaurant concepts that put a premium on the harmony between great food & drink, design, and ambiance.
We firmly believe that quality and freshness should be the cornerstone of our menu offerings. Over the years, we have successfully launched a variety of restaurants that offer unique and stylish dining experiences.
Cesar and I opened our first restaurant when we were in college in Caracas, Venezuela back in 1995. It was an innovative fast-food concept that offered gourmet hot dogs. It gradually grew in popularity and eventually expanded to 18 restaurants nationwide.
We eventually ventured into other countries — Costa Rica and Spain — where we opened sushi restaurants in 2002. Samuel, my brother, joined our company and, in 2004, we rebranded and introduced Salsa Fiesta, a Mexican concept that proved to be a tremendous success.
As the political situation in Venezuela continued to worsen, Cesar and I decided to move to Miami in 2008. The following year, we opened our first restaurant in Miami, adapting the Salsa Fiesta concept to suit the American market, which allowed us to expand to 10 units.
In October 2019, we fulfilled a long-time dream of opening a full-service restaurant — Reunion Ktchn Bar in Aventura, Florida — and it marked the start of what would become 11 Ktchn Hospitality Group.
Since then, we have introduced Korner 67 in Miami Lakes; Blind Tiger, our sushi and omakase speakeasy in Aventura; and Xino Modern Chinese. Everything we do exemplifies our commitment to exceptional food, drink, service, and atmosphere.
We believe dining out should be a memorable and enjoyable experience, and we strive to make that vision a reality.
