Michelin Starred Stubborn Seed is the result of pairing unrelenting passion with an unapologetic approach. It aims to unearth cravings of the palate while constructing a reward in each bite. This philosophy takes honest ingredients and elevates them. At the helm is 2022 James Beard Award Semi-Finalist and Bravo’s Top Chef Season 13 Winner, Chef Jeremy Ford. In 2022, Stubborn Seed was awarded one Michelin star in the highly coveted inaugural Florida guide.


Stubborn Seed is a tasting menu only restaurant, with the option of a la carte service or the tasting menu at the bar. Reservations are available for table service and also available for the bar. Dress code strictly enforced as smart-casual. We are unable to accommodate tasting menus for guests following a vegetarian or vegan diet.

A cancellation fee of $50 per person will incur if cancelled within 24 hours of the reservation. On holidays and special occasions, cancellations fees will be $100 per person.

From the OpenTable editors: ‘Top Chef’ winner Jeremy Ford is racking up awards – including a coveted MICHELIN Star – for this sophisticated spot in South of Fifth. With a glass-encased kitchen, the restaurant’s interiors are as cool as the New American menu, serving standouts like a truffle chicken and a stellar sake and Japanese whisky selection.

    The restaurant has a cheap look (like a Chinese restaurant chain). The playlist is loud and mostly 1970’s Rock. The food is teaspoon sized and does not amount to a meal. The service is great.

    I tried the 8 course Chef’s tasting menu and it was wonderful. The service was exceptional and attentive. My only critiques were that the duck entree was a bit cold and the Chawanmushi had a custard consistency that isn’t for everyone. All in all, 9.5/10!

    Truly a wonderful experience across the board. Ambiance, service and of course, the fascinating series of plates from the eight course tasting menu. It was sometimes hard to hear the fast talking servers describing the plates before us, so I do recommend that you hang onto at least one menu so that you can review the ingredients in each course as you enjoy it.

    Loved most of the dishes in their tasting menu. Some dishes were on the saltier side, but otherwise we enjoyed our experience.
