Food has always been important in retail centers; all you need to do is check out the food court at any major mall to see how much space is devoted to food. Increasingly, more formal sit-down restaurants are what is needed to drive traffic to malls, strip centers, or downtowns. Dadeland Mall added many dining options when they renovated several years ago, Downtown Dadeland is starting to bustle with the addition of The Brick and Barley to their tenant list, and Brickell City Center has a variety of restaurants, including Quinto La Huella, Pubbelly Sushi, and American Harvest to name a few.
