Inspiring South Florida's Restaurant Scene
Our Story
Founded in 1997, The Restaurant People (TRP) has developed, managed, and operated more than 85 restaurant and hospitality concepts, helping shape South Florida’s dining scene for nearly three decades. What began with a vision to create memorable places where people gather has grown into one of the region’s most respected hospitality groups.
Every TRP concept is built around a distinct identity while sharing the same commitment to exceptional hospitality, thoughtful design, and remarkable food and beverage experiences. From neighborhood favorites to destination restaurants, rooftop lounges, and nightlife venues, the company’s portfolio includes YOLO and O Lounge, S3, Boatyard, Java & Jam, Rooftop @1WLO, TRP Taste, Casablanca Cafe, Rosa Sky, Giselle, Nubé, Jagger Suite, and Naia
