As a small biz owner myself it drives me bat sh*t (cuz you know we can't spell it yet me said the word as we read it) crazy when the corporate world has taken over and customer service doesn't matter. Our meal last night couldn't have been more F'd up. Our waitress seem to start off great. Once we ordered and got our salad, ate it. Then we sat sat forever to get our main. JUST OUR MAIN. Got our steaks and that was it. Finished our steaks still no sides. Finally came up to the table and we said we never got our sides. Oh so sorry they said. Well great! Told them we don't want them. Their remedy, dessert? No thanks. Glass of champagne? No thanks. Check plz. Being the check. Leave cash and need change. You'd think you'd realize your customers are a tad upset and you'd being the change asap. Yeah, NOPE. Their remedy??? Any guesses???? Will take the salad off the bill. How about take the whole meal off the bill? What a JOKE. Lastly, still got their GUARANTEED 20% tip because that's on the bill. NEVER AGAIN. read more

Quality food is amazing cooked perfectly. The only problem is that everything is so heavily salted. It's hard to finishIf they cut back on the salt. everything here would be even more amazing. Tina or Server was fantastic All of her recommendations were spot on. read more

What a great experience. The staff and service was exceptional. We had a very large party, so we decided to make reservations. Upon our arrival, we were immediately seated and our server explained the menu. Great service throughout the night. The food was delicious as well. We basically ordered all of their tomahawk steaks. Highly recommended. read more

Owned by famous celebrity chef, and restaurateur Michael Mina this amazing steakhouse offers an In-house butcher shop, wood grilled dishes and a huge wine selection. The Fancy decorations are captivating and so is the atmosphere. Expect Expensive prices! don't forget you're in Miami Beach haha! The service is what really makes this place that much more worth the visit, the staff is attentive and they cater to all of your customer needs. The attention to detail is flawless. Best plates/ my favorites: Crab Cake** - ( cornflake crust, old bay, pickled vegetables ). Fresh Lump crab, delicious and a good size). Priced at $29 12oz Australian Wagyu Skirt** - ( great cut of meat, quality, cooked perfectly priced $62 For dessert: Key Lime Pie ( citrus salad, blackberry-ginger frozen yogurt ). Tasteful, sweet, tart, perfect texture. Priced at $16. Well recommended! read more

We walked in at 10:30pm on a Sunday so they had us sit at the bar... bartender was super sweet, food was delicious and came out fast. The boo and I ordered the Ribeye steak, roasted broccolinis and yam purée. We shared everything and it was more than enough food. A bit pricey for a last minute dinner but the quality and flavor made it worth it! read more

We were not seated on time and had to wait for an extremely long time asked for the quiet section of the restaurant and the waitress agreed to that then we were told there was a private party in that section and we could not be seated there. The restaurant is extremely loud! We waited 55 minutes to be told that a bottle of wine we wanted was not available and then the waitress told us that we needed to order our food and the sommelier would come over after our food was ordered. It's now been over an hour we have no drinks and no appetizers. Really?! This is not fine timing nor fine service. This place is horribly run and very very loud. I would not recommend this place. We still have not ordered it's now about an hour and 15 minutes! So I can't tell you whether the food was good or not. Little bit more food was good they gave us a minor 10% discount which we did not ask for. Would we go back? No. read more

Since this was a birthday trip for me, with my husband of course we wanted to have a great steak. A lot of places had mixed reviews, so we decided to keep it simple and made a reservation for StripSteak for around 8:15pm. Upon walking in there was a group of girls blocking the hostess desk and just chatting loudly. After a few minutes the hostess came around and asked us if we have been helped. I told her the name/reservation time and she greeted me nicely by saying happy birthday. We were seated after a few minutes towards the booths near the left of the bar. Our server came over and greeted us but it did take about 15 min to just get bread. I honestly thought we weren't going to be served any. We went with a red wine the server recommended. We also ordered the chateau seafood tower ($115) as an appetizer. It was odd to me because I've never been to a steakhouse that serves oysters, lobster, crab, etc with mini spoons instead of forks. Also, it didn't automatically come with drawn butter or horseradish. The pricing on the site is different from their updated pricing on the menu inside the restaurant. In regards to the steaks, I ordered a dry aged bone in rib eye and my husband ordered the Australian wagyu skirt steak. The steaks took about another 20-25 min. The ribeye tasted like it had completely no seasoning and super dry. It gave off a really weird taste. My husband Australian strip steak was cooked basically well done, when we asked for medium rare for both. At that point we didn't want to send it back because we had been there for over an hour before our steaks came out. They said the sides were shareable but honestly they were the tiniest sides I've ever seen at a steakhouse. The sides were good though and the fried garlic in the mashed potatoes were a nice touch. Our server was just running around with his head cut off, so we would see him every now and again. I've been to other Michael Mina restaurants/steakhouses and this just didn't compare. I don't want to sound like a brat but we even had to box our own food to go. For a $500+ tab you'd expect better service. During dinner there was a couple who came in and the whole time the lady was berating and yelling at her husband over everything. Then halfway through our meal she decided to start FaceTiming people with her phone on full volume and no staff told her anything. The other 3 booths behind and in front of us all just sort of looked at each other in bewilderment. After cleaning off our table our server didn't say anything about the bill. So we just waited an about another 5-10 min later he brought out the complimentary ice cream. We wanted to order dessert but just didn't feel like waiting again. After we finished the ice cream we had to wait another 5 min to just ask for our check. And another 5 min to actually get the check and give it to him, and get the card back. I know our server meant well but it just was an overall very underwhelming experience. Also keep in mind the 18% added gratuity. We also noticed that there were many people who didn't follow the "dress code." We didn't mind that, but just sometime to keep in mind. read more

Business meeting in Miami. Place is nice. Service was very good. The place was way overpriced. Maybe all of Miami is like this, but $65 for a 6 oz filet, size of a large scallop, and $145 for a bone in ribeye is a little much. I also didn't like the fact we ordered buffalo trace with ice and they charged me $5 for a block of ice each! $5 for frozen water in an overpriced drink already. And if they are charging for frozen water, why not let the customers know there is a charge for a large block of ice???? I also wasn't aware for the standard service charge Miami does for all charges. I ended up paying tip and then I tipped 20% on top of the overall 2 drinks, lol! Two drinks should have been $36, but I ended up paying $70 for two drinks with the ice, service charge and tip on top of the total. Hahahaha. Lesson learned. I did figure this out before my $700 dinner for 2 people afterwards for two steaks, 2 sides, an app and one bottle of wine. Won't be back. Wished they would let people know, especially out of towners about the automatic service charges. Be warned. read more

Review prime 54 steakhouse at fountain blue talk about how mediocre mashed potatoes, spinach, steak all just not that flavorful, very expensive prices where you could've gone to top places and where this was like a simple steak with no seasoning for over $100 service. for people that havent visited the top steakhouses in America I can see how the ratings would be ok. but they are not trained or on top of anything even the bus person like cleared our plates were still eating our boring bread and he took the plates away and all of our silverware so we couldn't have anymore, no garnish on a very expensive, supposedly fresh squeeze juice, so nondescript hotel restaurant for the price point the atmosphere. it simply had no personality or character or conversational vibe kind of cold and loud. average food with crazy prices. read more

I had previously dined at Stripsteak for a Yelp Elite event a few years back, so when a good friend and her family had a layover at the Fontaineblue and suggested we have dinner here, I jumped at the chance. Our server was absolutely fantastic; answering any questions we had about the menu, offering good information and giving us plenty of time to peruse the menu and catch up with each other. My friend, her hubby and her teenage son all had steaks of some sort (I'm not a steak eater, so I cannot offer more than that!). Her daughter is 10 with a 10 year old appetite and had a seafood based starter. I opted for the salmon wellington and we also had several sides for the table to share (brussels, which were excllent, mac and cheese, also excellent and fries). As I said, I can't comment on the steaks, but the salmon was good. The pastry was a little soggy (don't tell Mary Berry!) but it was a huge portion. As mentioned earlier, the sides were also a great accompaniment and the portion sizes were good for a group. My friend and I also each had a glass of a red blend. The interior is lovely and the service is top notch; however, I am having a hard time giving it 5-stars because it is eye-wateringly expensive! I thought the quality of the food, while very good, just did not match the prices. Perhaps the steaks justify the pricing and it's my own fault for ordering fish at a steak house, but the prices seemed excessive. That said, I think for a special occasion, or if you are dining on someone else's dime, Stripsteak is a great experience. read more

Phenomenal service, food (seafood, steak), and ambiance. From start to finish the meal was amazing, the manager came to speak with us and asked us how things were? Servers were on the ball, food came out in a timely manner. My first time having Wagyu rib cap steak. Only heard about it from Hell's Kitchen from Gordon Ramsay. It was an amazing piece of steak that melted in my mouth. My only qualm is that they helped themselves on the tip/service charge. Only 3 people in our party and no where did they ask for my permission. Not sure if the service charge is a thing in FLL but was very unhappy about that. I love Michael Mina restuarants and have dined at them all over the states and their attention to detail is amazing, food quality and selection is always a hit! read more

Here for an anniversary dinner. We sat for 30 mins before the bread finally arrived. I got my drink, ordered my food and still no bread. Usually it comes with the water. When it did arrive, it was delicious and fluffy with garlic butter inside so no buttering needed. I liked that. We ordered a lot and had to leave early since we had other plans. Delicious food and nice ambiance read more

I've been a fan of Michael Mina since I ate at his 1 Michelin star restaurant in San Francisco. And this restaurant absolutely met my expectations for a Mina restaurant. As for the steaks, they were delicious and definitely as good or better than the great steakhouses I've been to, but what made this place great was the appetizers and the dessert. The pork belly was amazing and the tuna tartare was delicious. I've never had a creme brûlée made with corn and it was decadent. I ate at some great restaurants at the Fontainebleau, but this was my favorite. read more

3 1/2 stars. Miami Spice 2018. Nice choice and good value for Miami Spice. I was not thrilled with all of my selections but in general we were pleased. First of all, the bread. Hot bread with truffle butter stuffed inside. It is decadent and totally worth the splurge!! 13 year old said it might be the best bread he ever had! 13 year old and I shared both appetizers. Pork Belly and Steak Tartare are not really my things but I think these were good versions of these dishes. For my main, I ordered the Sole Meunière. The fish itself was over cooked and a bit chewy. The sole was supposed to be in a yuzu brown butter vinaigrette, but it just seemed to be swimming in a ton of oil. I did enjoy the accompanying fingerling potatoes which added a nice pop of flavor. 13 year old ordered the Filet Mignon. It was a quality piece of meat but could have used a bit more seasoning. I think my favorite part of the Miami Spice Menu was dessert, The Floridian. I don't usually order dessert (except for ice cream), but this dessert was so unusual and well composed that I could not stop eating it. There was a lot going on here with key lime kurd, macadamia strudel, orange pieces, etc., but it all worked so wonderfully! We ordered one dish that was not on the Miami Spice menu, the Octopus. I thought it was prepared well, had a perfect texture, and pleasant smokey flavor. My spoiled son kept saying this octopus was not as good as the octopus at Bazaar Mar. (It wasn't, but it was still very good!) Strip Steak is more modern and sleek than stuffy. The decor reminds me of its sister Michael Mina restaurant in Aventura, Bourbon Steak. Service was excellent. We did have to ask our server for the Miami Spice Menu, but the whole service team could not have been more accommodating. If you enjoy steak houses, this is a solid choice for Miami Spice. read more

My boyfriend and I were able to make our way over here for their Valentine's Day menu. From beginning to end the service, the food, the atmosphere was exquisite. I want to take a moment to talk about how amazing our server Janine was. Attentive, kind, funny, informative and an overall delight. The food was amazing on its own but it's truly the service that makes a restaurant remarkable. The only thing not pictured was my shrimp cocktail which was divine. Every course came plated beautifully and full of finesse. The pomme that came alongside my 8oz filet was the best potato dish I've tasted. Let's not even talk about the truffle butter bread, I think I'll be dreaming of it in my sleep! That's how good it was. All in all I feel very lucky I got to eat here with my significant other It was a lovely evening. read more

This review is based on the Miami Spice Menu. We went on a Saturday night and were promptly seated. The tables are close together. I give it 5 stars for food and 3 stars for service. It took 25 minutes to receive bread. The bread is injected with truffle butter. The loaf needed more butter than what they injected into it. We started with the pork belly appetizer. It was covered in an Asian sauce and on top of grilled pineapple. It was a great mix of flavors. The filet mignon was a good size portion. It was tender and flavorful. It was served with ONE broccolini and a few tablespoons of creamy mashed potatoes. The dessert was a hit! The chocolate cake was topped with Bailey's ice cream. The cake was rich and delicious. It was a good size portion for one person. A few times, we had to flag down servers for our requests. The hostess asked if we valeted so I assume they do some amount of validation. We parked elsewhere. The restaurant was about 30% full, so it was easy to have a conversation. There is a bar in the center of the restaurant. The restaurant has a dark elegant ambiance. I would return for the Miami Spice menu, but not for the full price menu. A filet mignon is $45 a-la-carte. read more

After a week of staying at Fontainebleau, this was our grand finale dinner. I will start by recognizing the service and attention - our waitress was very kind and the other staff regularly checked on us, refilled water, cleared plates. The truffle bread starter is excellent. We started with the crab cake and baby greens salad. These dishes were also excellent, and as a party of two we were so happy with the flavor and portion size. Everything was on track for a superb dinner. Initial impression for the filet mignon is that it was just dry. They got the medium rare pink perfectly, but it was too dry. My partner's chicken was pretty salty, and the thicker parts of the breast were also dry. Overall the dinner was OK - the starters were the best part. read more

Fantastic experience at Stripsteak within the Fontainebleau Hotel. My wife and I arrived here for an early dinner and were seated immediately. It wasn't busy yet, so we were taken to a quiet table by the kitchen downstairs. The waiter and servers were all extremely attentive and friendly. They started us off with the famous (or infamous) black truffle butter bread- wow. As a starter, we split a Caesar salad which was solid- nothing out of this world but it was a holdover until the main event arrived. Shortly after, the Filet mignon and Australian wagyu reached out table accompanied by chimichurri and their house sauce. Both steaks and sauces were delicious, perfectly prepared and salted. Lobster Mac and cheese + brussel sprouts were our shared sides, both of which were larger than expected portions (leftovers). We finished with the creme brulee, which was very tasty but less warm/hot than we would have liked. No big deal. All in all, this is a top Miami steakhouse and a great spot for a special occasion- from date night to an important client meeting. As a Miami Beach establishment, expect expensive valet parking ($30) on arrival unless you're taking an Uber/Lyft orb staying nearby and walking. Chances are if you're dining here, you've already accepted a "no budget night", so roll with it and you should have a great experience. read more

Chef Rodrigo does not disappoint when it comes to his flavor, technique, plating and the overall experience. From start to finish each corse was packed with an element of surprise and flavor. Our waiter helped guide us through our experience and drinks to accompany the courses to come. The location itself is located in the fountain bleu and if you can manage yourself a seat in the lower level dining room the ambiance there is absolutely worth it. Don't skip on this experience if your staying in the area. read more

GET THE STEAK TARTARE. Absolutely delicious!!! Steak was also cooked to perfection & mac and cheese side is also a must.

Great place to celebrate a special occasion. We were there for a packaged dinner and a show event so we had a select menu to choose from, yet that didn't limit the experience one bit. The food and service were excellent. I truly enjoyed being able to view the kitchen from our table, which was working in perfect harmony. The hostesses were extremely accommodating, especially how we had called twice to push back our reservation time. We were sat in the downstairs dining room which was decorated elegantly. Our server was kind and attentive. Steaks were cooked perfectly. We were also pleasantly surprised with the bread after learning that the butter was already inside of the loaf, however it was just a tad too truffled for my liking. The only critique I would have is that we received our starters prior to having our cocktails delivered, however they did arrive promptly after. The restaurant is located within The Fountaineblue hotel so please note that you will have to valet unless you uber/taxi there. Valet can get pricey depending on how long you stay although I'm not sure if there is some sort of discount or validation if you eat at the restaurant as we were there for an event which discounted our valet. All in all, highly suggest this place for a nice night out on the town. read more

When reality bares zero resemblance to both hype and expense, the high end meal that you've been drooling over in anticipation, becomes angry foam in the corners of your mouth and a desire to toss china frisbees full of crap steak and cold fries, into the clueless crowd. $98.00 for what was tantamount to selling a steak so pathetic, it felt like a dare to complain. I had to talk my husband off the culinary ledge. A 1" thick, underwhelming, insulting, inferior product that rendered me speechless at the audacity to serve this to anyone. The presentation of my chosen dish was preceded by it's unmistakable, south of fresh odor. I received the 'Bait and Switch' snapper instead of the 'Sea Bass' that was on the on the menu. Who are these patrons leaving 5* reviews? Are these guests in a parallel universe steakhouse? Do they not detect the pungent odor of old fish? Have they ever heard of Peter Luger? So many questions that alas, will remain unanswered and probably for the best. read more

I normally am not a fan of eating too much steak, I prefer chicken. However, stripsteak has a selection of pure awesomeness! I went there for my birthday and had almost everything in the menu.

Have you eaten here a few times over the years and it had always been very good however this year it couldn't have been more disappointing. We ordered drinks appetizers, steaks and sides. The apps came out in about 45 minutes, and the drinks were non-existent. Our waiter had four or five other tables and we watched him serve them and attend to those tables three to four times each before he ever came back to ours only because we asked for a manager. The food came out super late partially called and again never received our drinks. Upon seeing something to the manager, he just seemed pompous and did nothing about it so we asked for our stuff we packed up which we threw out immediately after leaving. Fully aware how hard it is to get good staff these days but it's such a shame to see such a good restaurant go to shit. read more

RYAN is a great server! He told us about how he only recently moved to Florida but with all his knowledge of the place, his suggestions on where to go around Miami, and his knowledge of the food, we would never have guessed that he wasn't a local. The food was so delicious and we were so hungry that I have no pictures of the food. Having that said... It is quite pricy and I would not come back unless the server is Ryan. The busser of our table rushed us many times. I refused for him to take away our oysters since we were not finished with them. Our family, whose car broke down on the highway on the way to miami on christmas eve, was still on the way in an uber and we wanted them to taste some of the food since the kitchen was about to close. He even yelled at me "soon! It won't be good anymore! Soon!" And tried to take my dish away 3 times even though I explained I am waiting for someone. Instead, proceeded to yell fr across the room. Other guests looked over at us wondering why he was yelling. I wasn't feeling my drink so I wanted to order another one. Someone else, unsure if it was the manager or just another person, they came up to me and said I can't order two drinks at once. He said please finish the first one and I'll give you a new one. I was a little annoyed, but okay, if that's the policy, sure. I asked if I can't order another drink, can I replace it since I didn't like it? He said sure. But later, he proceeded to charge me for it later. I would let this slide but being pressed by the busser and then this, it wasn't a good combo. The busser once again, rushing us, took away our dessert when we just got it on our table. We only just finished slicing it up into small slices to share. I found him to be very abrasive and rude. I did not come to fine dinning and pay so much to be treated so roughly. Especially with the extra fees for service charge. Ryan was amazing. Kept us in a great mood even though our family was going through so much in one night. The food is great and so are some of the staff. But I mark it as 3 stars because I won't come back. The price is not worth being rushed, told you cannot order what you want but still charging it to my bill, and definitely not worth being yelled at especially on christmas eve. read more

Great ambiance-- music wasn't too loud, staff was friendly, & clean. I was immediately greeted by hosts, grabbed a seat at the bar and was welcomed by Seth. He made recommendations and graciously went over the menu Each course came out expeditiously, the food was exceptional (it was so good I forgot to take photos)! Salmon with caviar, foie gras, steak tartar, rib cap with sautéed spinach, and yucan potatoes, then pear sorbet. The cocktails were well presented, very balanced, innovative and well craftedu. Seth continued to guide us through our experience with his knowledge of of the menu and offered background of each course and cocktail. He was patient, personable, professional, and had a key attention to detail! Highly recommended and I will obviously return on my next visit to South Beach read more

My mind boggles as to why this establishment doesn't have a solid 5 stars; the team is friendly with a smile, yet attentive, amiable and efficient... AND of course, the food is ::insert fire emoji::. (And, yes- it truly is a team effort, as all the cogs are whirling in a perfect happy harmony). If you're looking for an upscale steakhouse to celebrate a special occasion - or just have an amazing evening out: this is your place. The menu has all your favorites, but is also so thought through to the small details that a "simple salad", despite a perfectly cooked steak and delicious dinner, can be your highlight (try the heirloom tomato salad... it's refreshing on all levels and so... yum!).... Oh and let's not forget that bread... To add- as someone who is notoriously picky with seafood - especially cold seafood - their seafood tower is de-licious. I thoroughly enjoyed items I typically avoid ( this is your sign...). Oh- and not to forget: the atmosphere. It transports you away from the hustle and bustle of the Fountainbleu---and even your neighboring tables... Thank you to each member of this organization that made our meal so memorable... looking forward to coming back to enjoy the rest of the menu!!! read more

Staying at the Fontainbleu, this was an easy choice and worth it. We had the boneless rib eye (medium) and tenderloin (medium rare) and both were cooked perfectly and very well seasoned. Not at all dry and I didn't feel the need for any accompanying sauce. Sides included the charred broccolini which were fine and the herb fries which were flavorful and plentiful. A solid meal overall. Service was outstanding. The complementary bread was tasty but very rich and buttery. It would have been nice to have some variety. There is also a relatively limited range of options on the menu, but you can easily preview it in advance to know what you are in for. read more

My wife was kind enough to take me here for an early 41st birthday meal. I can say without reservation that the food here is absolutely superb. Easily 5 star cuisine. They start you off with a truffle butter infused bread loaf, and man is it fantastic. One of the better dinner breads I can remember eating. For appetizers we got a half dozen raw oysters and their octopus dish. The oysters were extremely fresh. My wife & I love oysters and these did not disappoint. The octopus dish was shockingly good. I was legitimately amazed at how good it was. Everything was perfect. It had a spicy verde sauce and some great little potatoes. It was really a perfect dish. The best octopus I've ever had. Easily. For entrees, my wife got the bone-in strip steak and I had the boneless ribeye (they were sold out of bone-in). I appreciated that they offer a nice variety of sauces to go with the steak. My wife got the truffle butter & I chose the chimichurri. Both the steaks and sauces were wonderful. These steaks could stand up against any steak I've ever had. That's very high praise. We had mac n cheese for a side & it was the only part of the meal I didn't love. It wasn't bad, but nothing special either. So at this point in the review, you may be asking, if your praise is so effusive for this place, why only 4 stars? Well, as I said, the food was top-notch, but there were some "other" things I didn't care for (some within the control of the restaurant & some not). First, the parking. You have to drop the car off with a very busy valet. Ok, fine. The prices are extremely expensive though. $30 for valet. $16 if you get the restaurant to validate. On top of that, when I went to pick up the car, it took over 10 minutes to receive the car. You'd think at that price point, they'd at least be quick, but no. My wife and I were almost late to the play we were attending as a result. Next, the restaurant is located within a large, busy hotel in Miami Beach. There are tourists everywhere & on a Saturday night, many are noticeably drunk & loud. It takes away from the experience to basically have to walk through a frat house to get to & from the restaurant. Lastly, while the food is extremely high quality, the prices are a little inflated here. We paid $260 (no alcohol) pre-tip for two steaks & two appetizers. We knew it would be pricey going in, so not complaining, but be aware that you're going to drop some serious coin here. All in all though, I really enjoyed the meal here & I would definitely come back based on the food quality alone. Recommended for special occasions. read more
