Averaging 3.4–4.6 stars across platforms (including 3.4 on Yelp from over 2,600 reviews, 3.8/5 on Tripadvisor from 3,000+ reviews ranking #209 of 921 in Miami Beach, and 4.6 on OpenTable from recent diners), guests rave about the exceptional steak quality (perfectly cooked filets, rib eyes, porterhouses, and dry-aged flavor), fresh/high-end seafood (like tuna poke and oysters), generous portions, flavorful standouts (truffled mac, soups, sliders), professional/attentive service (often named servers praised), and lively, upscale vibe that feels iconic and energetic. It's frequently called one of Miami's elite steakhouses with consistent food excellence.
Common complaints focus on extremely high prices (steaks $63+, sides $17+, drinks $25+, easy $300–$400+ tabs, valet $25), long waits/overbooking even with reservations (delays up to 70+ minutes, crowded lobbies especially holidays like Valentine's/Thanksgiving), noise (loud from crowds/low ceilings), cramped/uncomfortable seating in peaks, and occasional inconsistencies (burnt items, minor prep issues). Recent 2025–2026 reviews show strong praise for steaks/service amid high volume but persistent gripes on cost, waits, and holiday chaos.
