Station 5 Table & Bar

Miami New Times says: Serendipity led Julia Ning to Station 5 Table and Bar. Everything just began to fall into place, her sous chef Michael Gierden moved down from Chicago, then she met Eddie and Sharon Torres, the owners. From there, the front of the house and kitchen all just came together effortlessly. Ning reminisces about the five older women who helped mentor her and shape her as a chef. These women made a strong impression on Ning's life, and many of her creations are attributable to them. Station 5 is named after these women, who taught her Italian, Chinese, Cuban, northern Thai, and French-Canadian dishes. The restaurant is a melting pot of all these different cultures. Any past struggles or accomplishments that she faced either at Khong or Area 31 have brought her to where she is in mind, culinary talent and vision. Ning wanted Station 5 to be a little spot to cook beautiful food and to make some lasting memories.
