The best steakhouses in Miami to totally splurge—or keep it low key

What is it? A luxurious surf-and-turf destination perched atop the historic Miami Women's Club in Edgewater, where Norwegian king crab and dry-aged beef are served with panoramic views of Biscayne Bay.

Why we love it: Klaw doesn't just serve steak—it puts on a show. They fly in wild-caught red king crab daily from Norway (you can literally pick your catch from the tank) and dry-age premium cuts in-house. The dining room feels like you've stepped into a wealthy sea captain's mansion, all rich wood and gleaming brass, while upstairs the rooftop bar serves the same tasty food with million-dollar views. Their A5 Wagyu striploin from Hyogo is buttery perfection at $38 per ounce, and the T-bone comes pre-sliced and seasoned so perfectly you won't need a sauce.

Time Out tip: Pair your steak with a mignonette martini. Its bright acidity balances the richness of the meat.

Address: 1737 North Bayshore Drive, Miami, FL 33132

Opening hours: Mon–Thu 6–10 pm; Fri, Sat 6–11pm; Sun 6-10pm

Expect to pay: Approximately $150 to $450 per person, depending on how much crab you’re craving.

What is it? A Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse in the Design District that marries American dry-aging with Korean BBQ techniques in a space that feels like a glam sci-fi movie set.

Why we love it: Cote solves the eternal Korean BBQ problem—wanting the fun of tableside grilling without ending up smelling like a campfire. Expert servers who cook USDA Prime and American Wagyu cuts with surgical timing handle the smokeless grills built into each table. The Butcher's Feast ($82 per person) is the move here—four different cuts of beef, banchan sides, that amazing egg soufflé that bubbles in a stone pot, plus two stews and soft serve with soy sauce caramel. Their 45-day dry-aged ribeye has that funk that meat nerds go crazy for. Their sommeliers are some of the least pretentious in town, happily guiding you through their 1,200-label list that's earned James Beard nods.

Time Out tip: Cote’s Magic Hour happy hour runs from 5 to 7pm at the bar—no reservation needed. It’s a rare chance to walk in and sample small plates and cocktails without the usual waitlist. 

Address: 3900 NE Second Ave., Miami, FL 33137

Opening hours: Lunch: Daily noon–3pm. Dinner: Sun–Wed 5–11pm; Thu–Sat 5pm–midnight

Expect to pay: $82–$225 per person, depending on menu selection.

What is it? A full-blown steakhouse with a courtyard soul, born from one of Miami’s most beloved pandemic pop-ups.

Why we love it: Sunny’s started as a temporary spot under a banyan tree and became the place everyone wanted a reservation for. Now it’s back for good, and somehow it feels even more special. The courtyard’s still the heart of the space, but now there’s an indoor dining room with white tablecloths, soft lighting, and plenty of Art Deco touches. The steaks are serious—dry-aged, grilled over live oak—but the menu still makes room for things like duck lasagna, corn agnolotti, and crudo with squid ink aguachile. The drinks are strong, the music’s loud enough to keep things loose, and the sp lands somewhere between date night and low-key dinner party.

Time Out tip: Order the french fries with a side of potato butter. Trust.

Address: 7357 NW Miami Ct, Miami, FL 33150

Opening hours: Daily 5:30-11pm

Expect to pay: Around $100 to $200 per person, based on how many steaks, sides and martinis hit the table.

What is it? James Beard Award-winning restaurateur Stephen Starr's new steakhouse in Bal Harbour Shops' former Makoto space, with Christoph Niemann murals throughout and a retro, 1940s-inspired menu.

Why we love it: The retro decor and the murals instantly set you back to a time of two-martini lunches and New Yorker covers on every wall. The $100 Cheesesteak with shaved wagyu beef, black truffle, foie gras, fried onions, American cheese on a freshly baked sesame roll, is a longtime Starr signature that's finally in Miami. Order it for the table and split it. The crab-stuffed avocado ($34) is worth the order: they fill a half with crab salad, press it back together, and coat the outside so it arrives looking intact. The wagyu ribeye is some of the most tender beef in the city right now, and for dessert, the bananas foster comes out tableside with real fire.

Time Out tip: Order the pigs in a blanket. They don't belong on a steakhouse menu, and they're the best starter in the room.

Address: Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Ave, Bal Harbour, FL 33154

Opening hours: Lunch Mon–Fri 11:30am–4pm; Dinner Mon–Thu, Sun 4–10pm; Fri–Sat 4–11pm

Expect to pay: $150–$200+ per person with drinks.

What is it? A two-story steakhouse inside Miami Worldcenter where big steaks, bold flavors, and just the right amount of over-the-top come together for a night that feels like a party.

Why we love it: Maple & Ash is all drama in the best way—crystal chandeliers, a towering “Upside Palm” sculpture, and a dining room that doubles as a wine library. But the flash comes with follow-through. Steaks are wood-fired and rich in flavor. The seafood tower arrives sizzling in chili oil and garlic butter, and just when you think it’s over, servers appear with pasta to soak up the sauce. It’s over-the-top, sure, but it’s also a really fun surprise for the table. The vibe is celebratory without being stiff, the “IDGAF” tasting menu keeps things playful, and the massive wine list is stacked with both classics and surprises. Sure, you’ll spend a lot, but you’ll leave full, buzzed, and grinning.

Time Out tip: The espresso martini tower might feel like overkill—until it hits the table. Then it’s just smart planning.

Address: 699 NE First Ave., 2nd floor, Miami, FL 33132

Opening hours: Sun–Thu 6–11pm; Fri, Sat 6–midnight

Expect to pay: This one’s a blowout. Plan on at least $175 to $300 a person if you’re doing it right (and you should).

What is it? A hidden 60-seat steakhouse tucked behind an unmarked door off Española Way, where the walls are covered in serious art and the food lives up to the setting.

Why we love it: Finding The Joyce feels like discovering a well-kept secret. There’s no sign, just a quiet entrance off Española Way that leads into a dark, art-filled dining room. The menu leans classic—steaks, shrimp cocktail, iceberg salad—but every dish is executed with more care and flavor than you expect. The A5 filet is rich and perfectly cooked, the crudo is bright and balanced, and even the caviar-topped latkes feel deliberate, not flashy. The cocktail list plays it both straight and strange. There’s a great martini, but also drinks made with A5-washed whiskey and blue cheese-infused rum that somehow work. It’s a steakhouse that feels exclusive but never pretentious—and everything on the table backs it up.

Time Out tip: Don’t skip the Joyce Burger. It came from their more casual next-door spot, but it might be the best thing on the menu.

Address: 448 Española Way, Miami Beach, FL 33139

Opening hours: Wed–Sun 5:30–11pm

Expect to pay: This is a splurge spot, but worth it. Figure around $150 to $250 a person, depending on how wild you get with the wine and Wagyu.

What is it? A Peruvian-inspired steakhouse in Pinecrest, where  Prime cuts meet bold South American flavors in a modern, upscale setting in the middle of the suburbs. 

Why we love it: Chef Fernando Salazar transforms the traditional steakhouse experience by infusing Peruvian flair into every dish. That 64-ounce Prime Tomahawk? It arrives with a tableside blowtorch show as they char rosemary and melt butter over the meat. Their Galapagos stuffed lobster tail is an 18-ounce monster filled with a three-cheese blend and topped with "chalaquita" (a bright little salsa that cuts through all that richness). But the standout dish is their aligot – mashed potatoes with so much cheese mixed in that servers lift it from the bowl with a spoon and it stretches two feet like taffy before breaking. They top it with caviar because, of course, they do.

Time Out tip: Sundays are for splurging—they offer one-liter bottles of Caymus for $95 with any prime steak, which is basically retail price for what's usually a marked-up wine.

Address: 12175 S Dixie Hwy, Pinecrest, FL 33156

Opening hours: Tue–Thu 6–10pm; Fri, Sat 6–11pm; Sun 6–10pm

Expect to pay: Around $100–$200 per person.

What is it? A glossy, power-player steakhouse nestled in Aventura's JW Marriott Turnberry, where celeb chef Michael Mina elevates the classic American meat temple.

Why we love it: Bourbon Steak isn't trying to reinvent the steak house—it's perfecting it. The menu reads like a carnivore's bucket list, from butter-poached steaks finished over a wood fire to that tuna tartare that somehow tastes better than every other version in town (it's the pine nuts and sesame that make the difference). The dining room has that clubby, masculine energy that makes you want to order something brown and neat, even if you're usually a wine person. Their dry-aged porterhouse for two is the stuff of legend—regulars have been known to split one after bonding over their mutual appreciation of good meat.

Time Out tip: Skip dessert and head to the bar for a nightcap; the moody lounge vibe is perfect for stretching out the night.

Address: 19999 W Country Club Dr, Aventura, FL 33180

Opening hours: Daily 5-10pm

Expect to pay: Typically $100–$250 per person, depending on your preferences (and the number of towers or truffle upgrades you select).

A post shared by The Wagyu Bar by Meat N' Bone (@thewagyubar)

What is it? Meat N' Bone's steakhouse has relocated from Coral Way to the former Cafe Vialetto space on Le Jeune Road in Coral Gables, with a larger footprint and a more polished setting.

Why we love it: The new space comes with a glass-enclosed wine room, private dining for 16, and a cocktail bar you'll actually want to stick around at. The steak menu spans from USDA Prime, Colorado Wagyu, and Japanese A5 (Miyazaki-Gyu, Kobe, Hannari), but the great thing about this spot is you can spend a little or a lot and eat well either way. Start with the torched A5 Wagyu nigiri or the charred beef tartare with tobiko before deciding on a cut. One note: the original Coral Way address is now Meat N' Bone Kitchen, a casual cafe and retail butcher spot.

Time Out tip: Happy hour runs daily with $7 well cocktails and discounted small plates like wagyu crostinis, tuna tataki bites, and mini crab cakes. 

Address: 4019 S Le Jeune Rd, Coral Gables, FL 33146

Opening hours: Mon–Thu 11:30am–10pm; Fri 11:30am–11pm; Sat 5–11pm; Sun 5–10pm

Expect to pay: Steaks start around $25 and climb to $200-plus for Japanese A5. Happy hour keeps it reasonable if you're just passing through.

What is it? A waterfront steakhouse with national name recognition and a South Beach location so good, it makes you forget it’s a chain.

Why we love it: The beef is all USDA Prime, dry-aged in-house for at least 28 days. The 28 oz. bone-in ribeye and 42 oz. dry-aged porterhouse for two are staples. At the top of the menu is the Swinging Tomahawk: 44 oz. black grade Wagyu, carved tableside, $270, built for two people who want to make a night of it. 

Time Out tip: Get to the Overlook Deck before your table is called and order a drink at the bar. The ships clearing Government Cut at sunset are worth arriving early for.

Address: 1 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139

Opening hours: Mon–Thu noon–10pm; Fri, Sat noon–11pm; Sun 11:30am–10pm

Expect to pay: Most meals land between $100 and $200 per person, especially if your table leans toward surf-and-turf.

What is it? A timeless Coral Gables steak house where the red booths are plush, the service is polished, and the Caesar salad is still made tableside the way it always was.

Why we love it: Christy’s leans into the charm of old-school steak house dining with confidence and care. The servers are seasoned professionals, the lighting is dim, and the food is consistently excellent. Expect perfectly cooked filets, classic sides, and warm service that feels almost ceremonial. The tableside Caesar is a rite of passage here. Regulars know to save room for the baked Alaska for two, a towering finale that arrives with gentle flames and zero pretension. The room feels like somewhere Tony Soprano would close a deal if he relocated to Miami.

Time Out tip: Planning something big? Let the staff know—it’s one of the few places left where birthdays and anniversaries are treated like a real event.

Address: 3101 Ponce de Leon, Miami, FL 33134

Opening hours: Tue–Thu 5:30–9:30pm; Sat, Sun 5:30–10pm

Expect to pay: 

What is it? A sultry, fire-fueled Argentine steak house inside the Faena Hotel, helmed by celebrity chef Francis Mallmann.

Why we love it: Mallmann brings his famous open-flame cooking to Miami Beach with slow-roasted meats, charred vegetables, and whole fish kissed by fire. The dining room matches the drama—velvet reds, gold chandeliers, and all in that signature Faena flair. The menu strikes a balance between richness and precision, offering a range of dishes that includes empanadas and prime cuts, as well as wood-fired focaccia and delicate crudos. It's bold without being overdone, and the execution is as polished as the show.

Time Out tip: Book the Sunday asado and come hungry—it’s a nonstop parade of smoky meats and flame-kissed sides, best enjoyed with a glass (or bottle) of red.

Address: 3201 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33140

Opening hours: Daily breakfast 7–11am; lunch noon–4pm; dinner Sun–Thu 6:30–10:30pm, Fri, Sat 6:30–11pm

Expect to pay: Around $125–$250 per person, depending on your steak and wine game.

A post shared by Fiorito Restaurant (@f10rito)

What is it? A no-frills Argentine gem in Little Haiti where the food does all the talking—and the steak rarely misses.

Why we love it: Fiorito isn’t flashy, but it nails what matters: perfectly grilled meat, comforting sides, and the kind of relaxed vibe that makes you want to linger. The skirt steak is a go-to, served with crispy house fries and enough chimichurri to bathe in. But there’s plenty more, think sweetbreads, morcilla, handmade empanadas, and pastas. The space is cozy and unpretentious, and the wine list is stacked with Malbecs that won’t break the bank.

Time Out tip: Kick things off with the provoleta or crispy sweetbreads, and whatever you do, don’t skip dessert—the flan with housemade dulce de leche is low-key legendary.

Address: 5555 NE Second Ave, Miami, FL 33137

Opening hours: Daily noon–10pm

Expect to pay: $40–$90 per person, depending on how far down the Malbec rabbit hole you go.

A post shared by Prime One Twelve Official (@primeonetwelve)

What is it? South Beach’s flashiest steakhouse, where the energy is high, the crowd is celeb-filled, and everything on the table is meant to impress.

Why we love it: Prime 112 is pure Miami—bold, buzzy, and built for a show. It's the kind of place where wagyu sliders come before a 48-ounce porterhouse, and the deep-fried Oreos are just as famous as the steaks. The dining room is packed with people who came to be seen, but the food still shows up: dry-aged prime beef, truffled sides, stuffed lobster, and every indulgence you can think of. It’s loud, it’s glitzy, it’s over-the-top—and somehow, it works.

Time Out tip: End the night with the deep-fried Oreos. They’re ridiculous, nostalgic, and totally worth it.

Address: 112 Ocean Dr, Miami Beach, FL 33139

Opening hours: Sun-Thu noon-3pm; 5:30pm-midnight; Fri, Sat noon-3pm; 5:30pm-1am

Expect to pay: A splurge meal with all the trimmings—come ready to go big.

What is it? A longstanding Flagami steakhouse fully reimagined with an Argentine flair, partnering with Buenos Aires' Corte Comedor to build a program around sustainably sourced, hormone-free beef wet-aged 30 days and cooked over charcoal and wood fire.

Why we love it: The new Hereford is the right call for an upscale but unstuffy night west of I-95. Short rib croquettes with romesco are a solid opener, and the baby gem Caesar comes tableside in the old-school way. For the main event, go with the organic Angus rib cap from Argentina that is wet-aged for 30 days. The 360-degree bar, curved glass facade, and friendly service make the room feel more festive than its airport-adjacent address might suggest—and the well-executed martinis back it up.

Time Out tip: It hosts a variety of specials throughout the week, including half-priced drinks all day on Tuesdays, musicians performing throwback tunes on Thursdays, Saturday butcher specials, and more, so check ahead before planning your visit. 

Address: 782 NW 42nd Ave, #5, Miami, FL 33126 

Opening hours: Sun–Wed noon–10pm; Thu–Sat noon–11pm 

Expect to pay: $100–$200+ per person, depending on what cuts and cocktails hit the table.

A post shared by Graziano's Group (@grazianosgroup)

What is it? A lively, fire-powered Argentine steakhouse where big flavors, big portions, and even bigger family vibes rule the day.

Why we love it: Graziano’s is built for people who love to eat. Really eat. The grills are always on, the Malbec’s always flowing, and the energy feels more like a great dinner party than a formal meal. Sure, you can order a single steak, but the real joy is in the Parrillada Tradicional: a sizzling spread of short ribs, chorizo, sweetbreads, morcilla, and beef flap meat that lands at the table like a trophy. It’s the kind of meal meant to be shared, talked over, and lingered with. No pretense, just good food, good wine, and a lot of it.

Time Out tip: Start with the provoleta or octopus from the grill, and add a few empanadas for the table. Then build your meat tower.

Address: 394 Giralda Ave, Coral Gables, FL 33134

Opening hours: Mon–Thu 11:30am–3pm, 5–10:30pm; Fri 11:30am–3:30pm, 5–11:30pm; Sat noon–11:30pm; Sun noon–10pm

Expect to pay: About $50–$100 per person, depending on whether you're going all in on the parrillada or just keeping it lowkey with a steak and glass of wine.

A post shared by LT Steak & Seafood (@ltsteakandseafood)

What is it? A stylish, all-day spot inside The Betsy Hotel that blends steakhouse staples with fresh seafood and a solid sushi lineup, right on Ocean Drive.

Why we love it: LT isn’t your typical white-tablecloth steak house. The space feels light and airy, with none of the dark wood heaviness typical of steak houses, plus it’s just steps from the sand. You can start with oysters and sushi rolls, move on to steak tartare or grilled octopus, then dive into a bone-in ribeye or Ora King salmon. The steaks come from Allen Brothers in Chicago, the sushi is surprisingly solid, and the vibe is equal parts South Beach and sidewalk café. It works whether you’re in for a date night, a hotel stay, or just want a truffle fry with your martini.

Time Out tip: Order the spicy tuna crispy nigiri and the short rib. It’s not an obvious combo, but it works.

Address: 1440 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, FL 33139

Opening hours: Breakfast 7–11am; Lunch 11am–5pm;
Dinner 5–10pm; Weekend brunch 11am–3pm

Expect to pay: Usually $75 to $150 per person, depending on how much steak and sushi you stack on the table.

What is it? David Grutman and David "Papi" Einhorn's South of Fifth steakhouse, which closed in September 2025 for a full redesign by Rockwell Group and reopened in November with a room that's finally as theatrical as the restaurant always intended to be.

Why we love it: The redesign went all out with red velvet banquettes, a crystal chandelier, velvet-lined corridors with gold accents, and custom Candice Kaye wallcovering that makes the room literally shine. The wagyu pastrami is still the star of the menu, but for those wanting to go all out, there’s the Beef Case, a 55 oz. MS 9+ Australian Wagyu tomahawk in a gold briefcase at $1,000, will be on someone's Instagram before the check arrives.

Time Out tip: For a less wallet-shattering splurge, opt for the Wagyu Sampler. For $500 gets you 2 oz. each of A5 Miyazaki, Hokkaido Snow, Olive-Fed, and Sheer Farm Wagyu. S

Address: 736 1st St, Miami Beach, FL 33139

Opening hours: Mon 6pm–11pm; Tue–Wed 6pm–10pm; Thu 6pm–11pm; Fri–Sat 6pm–midnight; Sun 6pm–11pm

Expect to pay: $150–the sky is the limit if you go for the caviar service, the Wagyu Sampler, or The Beef Case.
