Kitchen 305

Kitchen 305 operates inside the Newport Beachside Resort at 16701 Collins Avenue, near the southern end of Sunny Isles Beach not far from the historic Newport Fishing Pier. The restaurant is recorded in community mapping data as an American restaurant with a pizza-focused menu and full bar service, open Wednesday through Sunday from 5:30 to 10 PM, and it accepts both cash and credit cards with reservations recommended for dinner service.

The restaurant follows a pattern common along the Sunny Isles Beach corridor, where large hotels and resorts host independently branded, on-site restaurants rather than generic hotel dining rooms. Newport Beachside Resort has been a fixture of this stretch of Collins Avenue for decades, drawing attention over the years for hosting large-scale events on its stretch of beach, and Kitchen 305 has functioned as one of its named food and beverage outlets, distinct from the resort’s broader identity and marketed with its own name, hours, and contact information, including a dedicated restaurant email address.

At the time of this research, however, the resort’s own website has shifted its homepage content toward a redevelopment project referred to as “The Sunny,” described as the property’s “next chapter,” and a direct page for Kitchen 305 that once existed on the resort’s site could no longer be located. That kind of messaging, common when a hospitality property is planning renovation or repositioning, raises a real question about whether Kitchen 305 continues to operate under its current name and hours, or whether it has closed, paused, or been rebranded as part of the resort’s broader transition. Community mapping data still lists the restaurant as active with the hours and contact information noted here, but that information had not been independently reconfirmed through the resort’s current website at the time of this listing.

For anyone planning a visit specifically to Kitchen 305, calling ahead is a reasonable precaution given the resort’s public messaging about redevelopment. If it remains open, the restaurant offers a dinner-only format geared toward both resort guests and outside diners drawn to its pizza and American menu, in a part of Sunny Isles Beach that sits closer to Haulover Park and the county line than to the busier middle stretch of Collins Avenue where most of the city’s independent restaurants cluster.

Newport Beachside has been one of the more recognizable names in Sunny Isles Beach’s hospitality history, having drawn attention over the years for hosting large public events on its stretch of beach, well before much of the surrounding high-rise skyline existed. Redevelopment projects of this kind are not unusual along Collins Avenue, where aging mid-century motels and early resorts have gradually given way to newer towers over the past two decades, and a property’s food and beverage outlets, Kitchen 305 included, often see their branding and operations shift as part of that broader transition.
