Best Steakhouses in Miami

Miami's steakhouses are more varied than the red-booth classics the category once meant. The city now has a Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse, a surf-and-turf palace on Biscayne Bay, a speakeasy on Española Way and a South of Fifth dining room that serves a $1,000 steak in a gold briefcase. Prices swing just as widely, from about $40 per person at an Argentine grill to $450 or more for king crab and dry-aged beef.

This guide covers ten steakhouses sorted by the kind of night they suit, with a price range per person for each and a note on how hard it is to book.

How We Chose These Steakhouses

This is an editorial selection, not a scientific or absolute ranking. We drew on the Michelin Guide, Time Out Miami's steakhouse guide, which was updated in May 2026, and reporting from The Infatuation, Miami New Times and the Greater Miami and Miami Beaches tourism office. We then picked restaurants with distinct styles, so the list covers more than one kind of steak night.

The guide is compiled from published reporting, not from personal visits. Per-person prices include a typical mix of steak, sides and drinks, and they change often, so check the current menu before you book.

Miami's Best Steakhouses at a Glance

Per-person ranges follow Time Out's May 2026 steakhouse guide and The Infatuation, and Prime 112 has no published figure. Actual bills vary with wine, drinks, tax and service.

Splurge-Worthy Steakhouses

These four restaurants are the reason Miami has become a steak destination. They differ in price and mood, so choose by the kind of evening you want.

Klaw

Klaw is at 1737 North Bayshore Drive in Edgewater, in the historic Miami Women's Club building. The main dining room is on the fourth floor, with tall arched windows over Biscayne Bay, and there is a rooftop bar above it. Time Out rates it 5 out of 5 and puts it first in its Miami steakhouse guide, and in late 2024 the same publication placed it second on its list of the best steaks in the world.

The kitchen is built around two things: wild red king crab flown in from Norway and beef dry-aged in-house. The crab is cracked or deshelled at the table and served with butter, and The Infatuation says the steaks are aged at least 30 days. It also lists steaks from $84 to $431 and a minimum 16-ounce order of king crab at about $144, which puts a typical bill near $200 per person, and Time Out estimates $150 to $450. A5 Wagyu striploin from Hyogo is $38 an ounce, according to Time Out. To spend less, book the rooftop, which serves a smaller lounge menu.

COTE Miami

COTE is at 3900 N.E. 2nd Avenue in the Design District and has held a Michelin star since 2022. It is a Korean steakhouse from Simon Kim, and each table has a smokeless grill where servers cook USDA Prime and American Wagyu cuts for you. The Michelin Guide describes the room as a highly stylized Korean steakhouse and recommends the Butcher's Feast to first-time diners.

The Butcher's Feast costs $82 per person, according to Time Out, and includes four cuts of beef, banchan, an egg soufflé, two stews and soft serve with soy caramel. A 45-day dry-aged ribeye and a wine list of about 1,200 labels round out the menu, and Time Out puts the typical bill at $82 to $225. Walk-ins can usually be seated only during the 5 to 7 p.m. Magic Hour at the bar, and The Infatuation advises booking a month ahead for a weekend table. COTE also appears in our guide to the best restaurants in Miami.

Sunny's Steakhouse

Sunny's is at 7357 N.W. Miami Court in Little River. It started as a pandemic pop-up under a banyan tree and became a permanent restaurant, and Time Out named it Miami's top restaurant in 2025. The courtyard is still the heart of the place, and there is also an indoor dining room with white tablecloths and Art Deco touches.

The steaks are dry-aged and grilled over live oak, and the menu makes room for dishes such as duck lasagna, corn agnolotti and crudo with squid ink aguachile. Time Out recommends the french fries with potato butter and estimates $100 to $200 per person. Reservations open 30 days in advance, according to The Infatuation, so plan ahead.

Maple & Ash

Maple & Ash is at 699 N.E. 1st Avenue, on the second floor in Miami Worldcenter, and is the Miami branch of a Chicago steakhouse. The room is built for drama, with crystal chandeliers, a tall palm sculpture and a dining room that doubles as a wine library.

The steaks are wood-fired, and Time Out also highlights a seafood tower served sizzling in chili oil and garlic butter, plus an espresso martini tower and a playful tasting menu. It is a place for a group that wants a party, and Time Out says to plan on at least $175 to $300 per person.

South Beach and Miami Beach Steakhouses

South Beach has the city's showiest steakhouses, along with one hidden room and one classic with a view of the ships.

The Joyce

The Joyce is at 448 Española Way and is easy to miss, since the entrance is an unmarked door. The 60-seat room is dark and covered in art, and Time Out says the chef came from the three-Michelin-starred Alinea. The menu leans classic, with steaks, shrimp cocktail and an iceberg salad, and the kitchen adds an A5 filet and caviar-topped latkes.

The cocktail list includes drinks made with A5-washed whiskey and blue cheese-infused rum, and Time Out recommends the Joyce Burger. It rates the restaurant 5 out of 5 and estimates $150 to $250 per person.

Smith & Wollensky

Smith & Wollensky is at 1 Washington Avenue, in South Pointe on the water, and belongs to a national chain. The location is the draw: Time Out suggests arriving early for a drink on the Overlook Deck, where you can watch ships leave through Government Cut at sunset.

The beef is USDA Prime and dry-aged in-house for at least 28 days. Menu staples include a 28-ounce bone-in ribeye and a 42-ounce porterhouse for two, and the Swinging Tomahawk, a 44-ounce black grade Wagyu carved at the table, costs $270. Most meals fall between $100 and $200 per person, according to Time Out.

Papi Steak

Papi Steak is at 736 1st Street in South of Fifth, from restaurateurs David Grutman and David "Papi" Einhorn. It closed in September 2025 for a redesign by Rockwell Group and reopened in November, with red velvet banquettes and a crystal chandelier. Haute Living calls it the benchmark for Miami steakhouse spectacle.

The wagyu pastrami remains a signature dish. At the top of the menu is the Beef Case, a 55-ounce Australian Wagyu tomahawk served in a gold briefcase for $1,000, and a Wagyu Sampler with four types of wagyu costs $500. Time Out puts the starting point at about $150 per person, with no real ceiling.

Prime 112

Prime 112 is at 112 Ocean Drive in South Beach, and Time Out calls it the area's flashiest steakhouse. The crowd is loud and often there to be seen, and the menu is built to impress, with wagyu sliders, a 48-ounce porterhouse, stuffed lobster and deep-fried Oreos.

Time Out does not publish a per-person price, but describes the meal as a splurge with all the trimmings, so check the current menu. It is a better choice for people-watching than for a quiet dinner.

Argentine Steakhouses at a Lower Price

Miami's Argentine grills offer a way to eat well for much less than the splurge restaurants above.

Graziano's

Graziano's is at 394 Giralda Avenue in Coral Gables, and Time Out calls it a lively, fire-powered Argentine steakhouse with big portions. The best order is the Parrillada Tradicional, a platter of short ribs, chorizo, sweetbreads, morcilla and flap meat meant for sharing.

Time Out suggests starting with the provoleta or grilled octopus and adding a few empanadas, and estimates $50 to $100 per person. The atmosphere is closer to a family dinner than a formal meal.

Fiorito

Fiorito is at 5555 N.E. 2nd Avenue in Little Haiti, a no-frills Argentine restaurant where the grill does the talking. The skirt steak comes with crisp house fries and chimichurri, and the menu also includes sweetbreads, morcilla, empanadas and pasta.

The wine list leans toward Malbec at reasonable prices, and Time Out recommends the flan with house-made dulce de leche. It puts the cost at $40 to $90 per person, which makes Fiorito the least expensive steak dinner in this guide.

How to Choose Where to Eat Steak in Miami

• For beef and king crab: Klaw, if the budget allows $150 or more per person.
• For a first-time group feast: COTE Miami and its Butcher's Feast.
• For a celebration with energy: Sunny's Steakhouse or Maple & Ash.
• For a view of the water: Smith & Wollensky in South Pointe or Klaw on Biscayne Bay.
• For a lower price: Graziano's or Fiorito.

Tips for Booking a Steakhouse in Miami

• Book early. COTE and Sunny's are among the hardest reservations, and Sunny's releases tables 30 days ahead.
• Use the bar. COTE's Magic Hour, from 5 to 7 p.m., is the one time you can walk in without a reservation.
• Plan the bill. Wine, sides and market-priced items such as king crab can double the cost of a steak dinner.
• Check prices before you go. Menus change, and published figures can be out of date.
