Pauline sits inside The Shelborne by Proper on Collins Avenue, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks as a coastal restaurant built around local catch. The name honors Pauline Baker, wife and muse of cocktail writer Charles H. Baker Jr., whose travels through Latin America and the Caribbean helped shape Miami's early culinary identity — a lineage the kitchen draws on directly in its approach to Latin, Caribbean, and Mediterranean flavors.
Dinner runs toward dishes like caviar tostadas, a lobster and mussel sancocho, and grilled black bass. Breakfast is brighter and more casual: avocado toast with salsa macha and a jammy egg, lemon-ricotta pancakes with blueberries, a smoked salmon and bagel plate, and a chia seed pudding with mango, coconut, and goji berries. Coffee service includes a coconut cold brew and an ube latte alongside more standard espresso drinks.
