I've been going to Christy's Restaurant since I was a kid, and it's always been a place I recommend without hesitation. Unfortunately, my experience last week was really disappointing. Service was essentially nonexistent. It took about 20 minutes just for someone to come take our drink order. The server asked to take our food order at the same time, which I usually avoid, and that turned out to be a mistake because we didn't see him again for another 15 minutes. The food was just as frustrating. I ordered a filet mignon medium rare and it came out extremely rare. I mentioned it to a waiter I actually recognized from past visits, and he basically brushed it off. My daughter's lamb was also undercooked to the point we had to send it back, which added even more delay. The ambiance is still the same, which is fine, but that alone doesn't carry the experience. It's honestly a shame this used to be a go-to spot for me and my family and after the last couple of visits, I'm not even sure I'll be back. read more

Although Christy's is known as a steakhouse, I enjoy trying the fish options despite what they're known for. And let me just say, this miso maple salmon was the most delicious salmon I've ever had the pleasure of eating from a steakhouse - so much so that it inspired me to write a 5 star review about it. The seasoning was just so well done, the outside crispy, the inside very soft and when paired with the mango coulis, each bite is a burst of flavor. I highly recommend this salmon dish, as I've thought about it quite often since my visit. The key lime pie is a little too sweet for my tastes, but I thoroughly enjoyed the salmon dish so much that this drawback does not deter from my 5 star rating whatsoever. Service is attentive, and the ambiance is a cozy restaurant in the heart of the Gables. read more

Another amazing meal at this standout steakhouse in Coral Gables. I had the famous Ceasar salad as well as a 10 ounce filet mignon. We also had the 8 ounce filet mignon, the macaroni appetizer, which was amazing, and a Caesar salad upsized with chicken as a protein. Everything was awesome and the service was excellent. Wonderful Atmosphere as well. This steakhouse is a must visit. A++ read more

Heard that Christy's is a historic coral gables spot! It was decorated very nice with a dimly lit backdrop. The servers were friendly and relatively quick. We came here for a dinner presentation. We started with the potato skins. They needed some sort of topping like bacon bits or cheese, although the sour cream was tasty. They potatoes were also a little over done.. The caesar salad was pretty tasty with the perfect amount of dressing and delicious homemade croutons. Then i had the sea bass which was cooked perfect and tasty, but the spinach needed to be cooked a little more. Lastly the brownie with the caramel sauce was delicious but i wish it was a little larger. read more

If you want to have a relaxed night with a meal you won't forget, Christy's will become your new go to night out spot in Miami. My favorite part of the meal being the seared Brussels sprouts which are the perfect blend of salty and a little bit of sweetness are always a 10/10 in my book! The waiter was a gem and extremely attentive, every waiter we met had the sweetest smile and were very knowledgeable in the menu as well which is always a good thing to keep in mind when you are looking for a place with upscale dining! read more

Overpriced and overrated. Heard about this place for years, finally went. Overall it was okay, but not for the price. To start, the bread was bitter. Not to judge a place by its bread, but usually a good indicator. The filet mignon was a disappointment: a bit dry and flavorless. Not sure why people hype their steaks? On the plus side, the Caesar salad, was good. My wife thought it was overdressed and a bit soggy, but I liked it. The potato skins were very good. The Mac N Cheese was meh, and the French fries were very good. I'd say the highlight was the Baked Alaska, which they ignited table side. Wouldn't go back. read more

Was an exceptional experience, we really enjoyed it! Came through for my homie's birthday after a busy day of work bustling around downtown. Called ahead to ask about the dress code (which is business casual) and in true Miami Fashion pulled things out of the trunk and made it work - thank you Andrea for being kind and accommodating ;) Loved the decor and style of the restaurant, it had a 'Godfather' feel to it and the artwork was very nice. The red walls give it a dark, rich feel and it's one of the things I liked most about the place. Great place to cut a deal - there was a 10 person group of what looked to be business associates sitting near us and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Every single dish was phenomenal, here's the chow-down: - Tuna Tartare - 8oz Filet Mignon [Medium] - Herb Crusted Sea Bass (my dish) - Outer Banks Scallops - Cheeseburger - Long Meadow Ranch Sauvignon Blanc (my drinks) - Routestock Cabernet Sauvignon - White Chocolate Bread Pudding (!!!) Tuna tartare was very nice, the sauce was a great touch and I felt it made the dish come together. My sea bass was superb, one of the better seafood dishes I've had in a while! Juicy, lump portion and every slice I cut looked magical. Scallops and risotto blended really well together and also well portioned with 3 scallops. 8oz was well cooked and quite juicy as well. My friend's daughter got a chonk of a burger with a bed of fries and well, just look at that face lol. We didn't drink very much but both wines were great, definitely felt like a place to do wine instead of cocktails. Now, my friend and I were initially leaning towards the baked alaska for dessert, but our server told us not to sleep on the bread pudding and WOW we weren't disappointed! Delectable and not overly sweet, would absolutely do again. Special thanks to our server Yamilet, very sweet and did an excellent job, handled everything seamlessly. The birthday boy is hard to impress and he verbally said he loved it! Looking forward to coming again! read more

Don't get me wrong, this place is expensive as hell. But damn is it unique. I visited for the first time in easily 15 years and it is as good or better as I remember it being. The cuts of steak are huge, they bring it out to you at exactly the temperature you requested, the specials are fantastic and the drinks very solid. And in the end you still can't go wrong if you order the Baked Alaska. Also, reservations are definitely recommended because we went early on a Saturday night and the place was packed. If you want to visit an original Miami Steakhouse look no further than Christy's, just don't bother looking at the bill of the end cuz it's going to hurt . read more

It's hard to find a Prime Rib in Miami and this the best Prime Rib in Florida by far. Dirty French is my second favorite in Miami. Caesar is one of the best in Miami, oyster Rockefeller was good, lacking a little salt for me but overall still solid. Dirty Martini was excellent.. Great OG spot in Miami that always hits the spot and doesn't get enough love. read more

Went back to Christys after a long hiatus. Had a reservation but made us wait in the vestibule for 15 minutes. Strange. Then were put in the empty Oak Room. Weird. Caesar salad was just as I remembered. Very good! Prime rib, lobster tails and brussel sprouts were first rate. Why is the service so bad? Had to refill our own wine. No water refill offered. Box our own food! Really? Good restaurants know and do better. Luna, that's why I left you a $20. Try harder. read more

We ordered a variety of food options, however for the price point the food was less than stellar. To start we had the fried shrimp, Cesar salad, sautéed mushrooms and sautéed broccoli. The fried shrimp and mushrooms were very delicious, but the broccoli seemed like it was more steamed instead of sautéed (still very good just not what we were expecting) and the Cesar salad was just average. For our main meals, we got three different steaks and the herbed sea bass. The sea bass was very flaky and cut through like butter. I loved the sauce on the side, but the ratio of spinach was a little off. There ended up being a mountain of spinach the size of the fish on the plate. Overall a solid fish dish. The steaks however were all overcooked. Everyone at our table ordered medium rare, but we got one kind of medium rare, one medium, and one well done. Very surprising considering this is a high end steak house. But the sauce on the side was very delicious, and the steak was still decent. Finally we ordered the Baked Alaska. The table-side fire lighting and cutting was amazing. Super cool experience. Aside from the food, the service was absolutely top notch. Our waitress gave us some great recommendations and was very kind. We had a little toddler with us and she was very good with them, and overall just amazing. Plates were taken away very quickly, food was brought out quickly and all at the same time, and our water glasses were always full. The interior of the restaurant is a little dark, but filled with a good amount of covered tables and interesting art works. Overall this is a decent high-end steak house, and our over cooked steaks were most likely a fluke but still surprising nonetheless. A little pricy as well, but you seem to be paying for a higher service quality. read more

We used to love Christy's. Celebrated graduations, weddings, anniversaries. This was the first time we returned after the Pandemic and how sad and disappointed we were! We celebrated a birthday and had requested a round table for 8. We were placed in a long table at the end of a room that made it very uncomfortable for everyone to talk to each other. The elegant paintings that used to hang on the walls have been replaced by Minnie Mouse and a very ugly scary clown picture. Next, I ordered a Dirty Vodka Martini with blue cheese olives and when the drink was served it had no olives. When I asked, the olives for all the drinks had been placed in a glass at the other end of the table. Ugh! The complimentary bread was insignificant and not warmed. The French onion soup nothing like we remembered. Had no warm googly cheese coming down the sides of the bowl and nothing special. The Caesar salad with requested anchovies had but 2 anchovies and an overabundance of cheese and the lettuce warm. The Oysters Rockerfeller was a poor and worst example of what they should be. The recipe was void of Pernod liquor and the oysters with the cheese were not broiled on top but rather bland. We will not be returning. read more

We have been visiting this restaurant for over 25 years and have mostly enjoyed our experiences. However, last Friday night was disappointing. To start the hostess forced us to sit in the bar area on a high top table since we brought 1 extra guest. Then the service was slow and inconsistent with used plates piled up on the tiny table before being cleared. The area was loud , bright and crowded with people constantly walking back and forth by our table. The main meals were OK, we ordered the prime rib which was average but a bit tough considering the price. However, the sides were terrible, (at $16.00 each) we ordered the Mac and cheese and asparagus. The Mac and cheese was cold floating on milk separated from the cheese , tasted terrible! And the asparagus were also cold and just 5 small pieces with some white cream drizzle on top , also totally inedible. We had a terrible experience from start to finish and spent $590.00 for the pleasure. Needless to say we will not return any time soon! I have had much better experiences at Longhorn Steakhouse for about 1/3 the cost. read more

Awful place with really poor service.. The bartender refused to make a drink without grenadine, as if his masterpiece would be ruined or something lol. The waiter and the manager couldn't have cared less. We left and will never go back. read more

A classic and classy steakhouse with old school charm and offerings. Food: We had the chateaubriand for two with mushrooms and asparagus (off menu item for $140). The presentation was entertaining, and the filet mignon was simply perfect. Mushrooms included a mixture and were excellent. Very good asparagus. For dessert, the ten year old in me couldn't pass on the baked Alaska. The spectacle drew attention, and the flavor nearly equaled the outstanding presentation. Excellent! Drinks: Very good Manhattan Service: very good Ambiance: classy, upscale steakhouse Overall cleanliness: Excellent Bathroom cleanliness: average read more

Christy's - Menu - Steakhouses Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

It's so interesting when a Restaurant opens and for years is the "go to" steak place in all of the Coral Gables area. Then, inexpliciably, it becomes mediocre. And then it becomes good again. That seems to be Christy's story. But truthfully, it's been "good again" for a few years, and they have clearly found their footing. The salads are big enough to consider sharing among four people. Cocktails are solid A server can often elevate the dining experience, as Andrea did with his. Ask for her. The steaks are cooked perfectly and taste wonderful; the prime rib garnered "oohs" and "ahhs." And there were raves about the lamb chops. A good old fashioned steakhouse. And that says a lot. Bruce Rubin read more

Christy's is one of the stalwarts in the gables. It harkens back to a time when the gables was the top fine dining destination in Miami. Back in the late 70s and 80s that meant upscale European decor, efficient service and a menu with tried and true items executed at a high level. After 42 years this place still has it. After COVID I thought it was over for Christy's but it is back with the same feel but with lighter colored red walls and fun modern paintings instead of the dark red and British hunting or horse scenes. The interior is still very upscale but with a fun modern feel. Just a great space for your business lunch as well as anniversary dinner The wine list is one page but they have a great selection and there are many very good wines in the $50-70 range. The menu is very much the same it's always been and that is good thing (a very good thing). What they do they do very well. To start the best Caesar salad in town but for me the best anywhere. Home made dressing and croutons, crisp and full of labor. It used to to be included with your meal but believe me you won't mind paying for it. We did not have them today but their escargot is epic. The complimentary bread is very good. They have great steaks but my favorite order here is the sea bass. A fluffy fresh fillet perfectly cooked and flavored served over an excellent cooked spinach. I know, fish in steak house but for years I have felt this is the best fish dish in miami. It's simplicity and perfection all at once. My friend had the grilled chicken, a dish I had never tried. I was blown away. For desert you must try the baked Alaska if nothing else for the presentation. Although the bread pudding is also out of this world. This has always been one of my favorite dining places in the 305. to see this fresh incarnation with the tried and true menu items just warms my heart. read more

Christy's - Oysters - Steakhouses Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

Christy's wasn't quite what I expected. For some reason. Maybe it's the way it looks from the outside or it being a "classic steakhouse" that had me picturing a quiet, almost sleepy atmosphere, but walking in at 8pm was like stepping into a different place altogether than I had previously pictured. The place was bustling with energy, families filling tables, and laughter bouncing off the interesting art-filled walls. We had not made reservations (we didn't think we would need to - bad assumption), but the staff, was so kind they squeezed us in as soon as a table freed up. That early rush seemed to be the norm, because by mid-meal, the crowd thinned out. At places we have not tried before we really enjoy trying a few different things on the menu so we did just that. The crab cake, usually a dish that leaves me unimpressed, was a revelation. Lump crab, perfectly seasoned and bursting with flavor, held its own against the crisp, golden crust. Christy's Caesar salad, a twist on the classic, was another winner. The dressing, creamy and tangy, while the parmesan shavings added a satisfying salty punch and I cannot leave out their homemade croutons (whaaat?) so yummy. We shared the crimini mushroom appetizer, a dish that, while good, didn't quite hit the mark for me. The mushrooms themselves were meaty and flavorful, but the preparation felt a tad one-dimensional. Not a bad choice, but not a standout either. We also tried the tuna tartare, which, while interesting, wasn't quite our cup of tea. While the tuna was fresh and flavorful on its own the accompanying ponzu sauce didn't quite do it for us. It's definitely a unique take on the dish, but for our palates, it just wasn't it. The star of the show was undoubtedly the herb-crusted sea bass. I guess you can hardly ever go wrong with the sea bass. The delicate fish, cooked to flaky perfection, was enhanced by the fragrant herb crust, each bite was better than the last. Christy's exceeded expectations. The food was high-quality, the service attentive, and the atmosphere, despite my initial assumptions, was anything but sleepy. We left feeling happy, full, and already planning our next visit. This Coral Gables staple is definitely worth checking out. read more

So sad to say that I went to one of my favorite steakhouses and had a bad experience. Something I thought never possible. Made a reservation an hour and half before by calling the restaurant. Was told great and came at the reserved time 830 . We were told to wait our table was ready and wait by the bar . Ordered some drinks but by 900 o clock I asked where was the table I reserved? Location was busy which is why you reserve. I was told we are waiting for one to clear. 10 or so minutes later a manager , I think , came to us and said if we wanted to eat in the party room . I know Christy's as I have been coming here for years, the Oak Room is a separate room away from the restaurant. I came w a reservation to enjoy the main dining the people the food not to eat alone! I can't believe he said this. I declined and asked what about my reservation? No answer . I said I'll pay for my drinks and even that was not at least taken care of . He said the manager let me get your check for you and brought to me ! There was not an apologetic bone in his body! We went to another venue that is most deserved of my business and w out a reservation and had a great time . End if an era for me after years no more Christy's. read more

Went to Chris's last night, as I've done many times over the last 30 years. Frankiewas our server. Started with an old-fashioned and a shrimp cocktail. My wife had the filet mignon medium rare and I had the prime rib, medium rare with creamy horseradish. I must say I was with two other guests who had been there once before. All four of us agreed that this is the best steakhouse in Miami. We eat out a lot and had forgotten about this gem. When many restaurants try to impress you with atmosphere and fall short of food quality. Christy, is always dependable, with great ambience and consistent quality of food. read more

Ambiance and lighting was nice and relaxing. Service was wonderful. We had the potato skins (ok), Caesar salad (amazing), filet mignon (excellent with the sauce), asparagus (awful), truffle Mac and cheese (4 out of 5) and the au gratin potatoes (decent).

Very much to my surprise today I had a terrible experience at Christies restaurant. I went with my sister for our anual Thanksgiving meal . First we sat for while and after a long long time we asked for some bread, to be inforrmed that they did not have any bread because they had ran out .This was a reservation at 7:30, how is that even possible. We were later served our traditional Thanksgiving meal , consisting of turkey , dressing and sweet potato caserole. When I took my first bite of the turkey, I detected a distinctive taste that was not Turkey ... It turned out to be LIVER . When I asked the waitress she simply said "We cook our turkeys here and sometimes that happens" Not the response I was waiting to hear ... Thanksgiving has always been a tradition for us at Christies and I am sad so say that tradition ended today. The taste of that liver has not left my mouth..... read more

I must say I was a bit skeptical about visiting this place since I only see the outside of it and it looks like it's been stuck in a time warp. I was, however, pleasantly surprised the inside has been redone and it's got a bunch of modern artwork yet it still looks the same as far as the tables and booths go they're just new. The food was as excellent as I remembered it. I will definitely be back with my husband. read more

Had a solid dinner at Christy's but some things didn't impress. The lamb chops were okay, did not expect that style of preparation; like almost an asian glaze.

We were looking forward to going back to Christys after 3-1/2 years since the beginning of the pandemic. From beginning to end, we were very disappointed with the service. We were a party of five but only four of us got our meals. The fifth person waited over a half an hour for his meal. When we complained to the maître d' he was very rude to us, and said he didn't care if we never came back. He actually offered to box up our meal and take it home! We went to the restaurant to eat together not bring it home and microwave a previously frozen Seabass ! Unfortunately, the service was so poor and the Manager was so rude, we will never return. There's too many other good choices in this city. They shouldn't be so over confident to piss off their clientele, especially in this declining economy!! read more

We had a reservation 2 days ago to celebrate my boyfriend's (belated) birthday. First of all, our server was not what we expected. He was...well...nice, but definitely NOT up to the standards of a fine dining restaurant establishment like Christy's. We didn't find him engaging at all. He was very much a 'bare minimum' server (although with the pressure of him standing over me when I was paying the bill, I tipped him 20%). We certainly weren't treated in the way we have been treated at other fine dining establishments. We had a little bit of a challenge selecting cocktails, but my boyfriend asked the waiter if the bartender could make a "White Russian" and he informed us that the bartender could make one. When the drink arrived, it was...well.....white. It looked like a glass of milk with a dash of mocha color. When my boyfriend tasted it, there was absolutely no Kahlúa flavor, so he very politely asked the server to please ask the bartender to perhaps give it another try and within 30 seconds, the server returned with a glass that had milk dripping down the side. When he tasted the drink, it still didn't taste like Kahlúa was added, but at that point, he just didn't want to make a big deal out of it. He drank about 1/3 of it and left the rest. I ordered the Lychee Martini and it was...well....fine. I drank half of it and left the rest. The oysters, the filet, mushrooms, asparagus and potatoes au gratin were all delicious. The bread pudding on the other hand was extremely dry. We didn't want to seem like complainers (as that is not our style), but the dessert was disappointing. I noted on the reservation that it was "the gentleman's birthday", but aside from a sparkler that died before he could make a wish, it didn't feel like Christy's was instrumental in enhancing our celebratory dinner. I think that had the server been more engaging and attentive, the cocktails been better and the bread pudding been moist, it would have been the dining experience we had come to expect from a $309 dinner. read more

This was our first venture since Christys reopened. It still had a traditional, dark and somewhat masculine vibe, but seemed a bit more updated and artsy. It was fairly crowded for a Thursday night. We ordered wine, bread, and some calamari and oysters Rockefeller to start. The oysters were sizzling and very good, and the calamari perfectly and lightly fried. I had the herb crusted sea bass (tasty and tender) that came with spinach, my friend had the miso salmon, and the guys ordered rib eye and filet mignon steaks. We also ordered potatoes au gratin, the sautéed broccoli, and sautéed cremini mushrooms. The only issue we had was that the very center of the potatoes were cold, but that was quickly rectified. We ended dinner with the baked Alaska. LOL, have had this many times, but only on cruise ships, and Christy's does it far superior. It's a little pricy, but worth it so don't miss it! read more
