For the best steak in Miami book COTE in the Design District; for a big classic night choose Smith & Wollensky at South Pointe, and for a casual grill with no dress code go to Calle Ocho or Lincoln Road.
What it costs
El Toro Loco on Calle Ocho and Ole Ole on Lincoln Road. Neither publishes a price list online, so check the menu at the table; both are relaxed rooms with no dress code that we could find.
Fleming's in Coral Gables has a bar Social Hour from 3 to 6:30 pm with bites from $7 and cocktails or wine at $9, per its own page. Fogo de Chão on 1st Street in South Beach does the Brazilian rodizio; its page does not show the per-person price.
COTE Miami's Butcher's Feast: four cuts of USDA Prime and American Wagyu for $82 a person, plus $32 if you add an ounce of Japanese A5, per its menu page.
COTE's Steak Omakase is $225 a person, with a $110 wine pairing. A5 Kobe ribeye on the same menu is $82 an ounce.
How we picked
This list is short on purpose. Every steakhouse here showed us a working official page in October 2026 with its address and, where it publishes them, its hours. We left out famous names whose current status we could not pin down from their own site.
Miami steak comes in four styles: the American steakhouse (dry-aged Prime, big sides, white tablecloths), the Korean grill where the beef is cooked at your table, the Argentine parrilla over wood fire, and the Brazilian rodizio where servers carve meat until you flip the card. Pick the style first; the neighborhood follows.
COTE Miami
A Korean steakhouse with a grill set into every table and one Michelin star. The staff cook the meat for you, so you do not need to know what you are doing.
Dinner runs 5 to 11 pm Sunday to Wednesday and to midnight Thursday to Saturday; lunch is 12 to 2:45 pm daily, per its site. First time, order the Butcher's Feast at $82 a person: four cuts with banchan, egg soufflé and stews.
Ole Ole Steak House
Grilled meats and paella on the pedestrian mall, with pizza and burgers for anyone at the table who does not want steak. Most of the seats are outside.
OpenTable listings, as returned by search, give 9:30 am to midnight Sunday to Thursday and to 1 am on Friday and Saturday. We could not find an official price list, so read the menu before you order a large shared platter.
El Toro Loco Steakhouse Little Havana
A busy, very well-reviewed Latin steakhouse on Calle Ocho. AAA's listing files it under steakhouse, Brazilian steakhouse and barbecue.
The same listing gives 11 am to 11 pm Sunday to Thursday and 11 am to midnight on Friday and Saturday. No official website came up, so call or check the Google listing for prices before you go.
