Barton G

What Barton G does

Barton G is a privately held, founder-owned experiential hospitality company founded in 1993 by Barton G. Weiss and headquartered in Hollywood, Florida. The company operates two fine-dining restaurants — Barton G. The Restaurant in Miami Beach (opened 2002) and Los Angeles (opened July 2014) — alongside a third Orlando location announced as opening soon. Its core differentiator is theatrical "fun-dining": New American cuisine served with over-the-top presentations featuring vehicles, props, and dramatic serving styles, plus signature innovations like nitrogen cocktails and a menu reinvention cycle every 6-12 months. Barton G also runs a full-service event production division (weddings, corporate events, brand activations, sports events), off-site catering, and exclusive venue assets including The Farm and The Villa by Barton G (the rebranded Casa Casuarina property as of 2025).
