Salty Flame in Brickell??? Yeah... they did what needed to be DONE…read more We came for happy hour and accidentally had a full spiritual experience through appetizers. First of all, the vibes were immaculate. We sat outside and it was so peaceful at first because I think we were literally the first people there for happy hour/lunch. It felt like we unlocked a secret level before the crowd came. Perfect weather, great energy, good music, cute scenery... very "main character with a discounted cocktail" energy. Now let's talk FOOD. Every single dish we ordered was SO flavorful. Like somebody in that kitchen actually believes in seasoning and I just want to personally thank them for their service. Even the fries??? And let's have a serious conversation because not all fries deserve rights. Especially those thick overly battered fries that feel like you're chewing on drywall. These fries were thin, crispy, flavorful, perfectly seasoned... exactly how fries should be. No unnecessary jacket on them. Just vibes. The tuna tartare was AMAZING. Fresh, flavorful, light, addictive. I could've ordered another one and acted like it was "for the table." The calamari was cooked perfectly too. Nice and airy, tender, not rubbery. You know how some calamari fights back when you chew it? Not this one. Peaceful calamari. The edamame with the chunky sea salt was weirdly one of my favorite things. So simple but SO good. And the Korean wings??? BABY. Those were "cancel your evening plans and order another round" wings. We don't say "to die for" anymore because positivity, growth, healing... but let's just say I would dramatically think about those wings again later. The drinks were great, the prices during happy hour honestly felt fair, and our waiter was SO sweet and attentive the entire time. Overall, I would absolutely come back. Honestly, if my responsibilities would allow it, I'd pull up to this happy hour every day like it's a part time job!

We started with the bone marrow appetizer, and it was truly outstanding -- incredibly balanced, rich without being overwhelming, and so good we couldn't stop talking about it. We ordered the steak and eggs. The crunchy brioche, earthy mushroom purée, and beautifully sliced steak came together perfectly, and the saltiness of the caviar tied everything together in a really thoughtful way. The picanha was another standout! incredibly tender and full of flavor. We paired it with the broccolini and wagyu fat potatoes, both of which were absolutely delicious. To finish, we shared the ube cheesecake empanada. We were a bit hesitant at first, but it turned out to be the perfect ending to an already fantastic meal. The cocktails throughout the night were also excellent. We enjoyed the restaurant so much that we brought friends back later the same week. That visit was just as impressive -- we ordered the tomahawk steak, garden salad, bone marrow (again!), steak and eggs, truffle fries, broccolini, carrots, and tried all of the desserts. Once again, everything was delicious across the board. The only area for improvement would be the service. Everyone was kind and attentive, but at times too quick to clear plates and not proactive enough with the next course. At a restaurant of this caliber, I'd expect the dessert menu to be offered immediately after plates are cleared, rather than needing to track down a server. Overall, the food is exceptional, and we'll absolutely be back.

Also, the interior is super quirky; lots to look at! We had to go somewhere after HH, so we weren't drinking, but the HH drinks menu (from 4 - 7PM) looked solid! I had a spinach empanada that was OK. Larry had the sliders and also thought they were OK; it's hard to mess that up. Unfortunately, the menu is wildly expensive. The sliders were $30 and came with nothing, no salad, no fries, and the server didn't even bring a napkin. Also, it was FREEZING inside. I am always cold so I thought it was just me, but even Larry was totally uncomfortable. Would I go back? Yes! I would bring a sweater and eat beforehand

My friend and I got here a couple minutes early and waited a few minutes before we were seated inside. Everyone was kind and said happy birthday to me since I put that on the reservation. The outdoor terrace has a different vibe than indoor. It's more tropical and chill. Indoor was the cool sultry vibe I was going for with the dim lighting and red booths. I was very interested in the burger - which I heard they only have limited quantity of. Fun fact: you can only order it on the terrace. My friend and I shared (this is in order of my favorite): - rocky road sundae ($16): we got it without the candied almonds because my friend is allergic. Don't pass on this! I loved the brownie bites in the sundae and the raspberry was a nice contrast for sweet/tart. - Parker house rolls ($6): it comes with two and the honey butter was to die for. The rolls are thick so you really only need 1 per person. - Caesar salad ($21): each lettuce slice is seasoned/garnished perfectly so no mixing necessary! - Agnolotti ($34): I read a lot about this pasta so we got it. You can taste the sweet corn flavor in each bite since it's like a soup dumpling that has that burst of sweet corn. The sweet corn grew on me but I liked the crab the most. - French fries ($11) with potato butter ($7): we also read about the potato butter and was interested in it. Tbh it tastes like fondue or something, nothing special in my opinion. Same with the fries - they're just crispy fries. I would honestly pass on the fries The bathrooms are by the bar. Our server (Benito or Beto?) was training and he was so sweet and walked me to the bathroom. You enter through a green door and then there are 4 single stall bathrooms. For my birthday, they brought me a key lime pie with a candle and "Happy Birthday" in chocolate which was a nice surprise!! The tables to our left and next to them were also each celebrating a birthday!! When our check came, it came with a postcard (which they do in NYC too). I like to collect postcards for my scrapbook so I was ready to keep it. However, our server saw me take it and informed us they needed to keep it since they didn't have enough... but she gave me a dessert menu to keep instead which was nice. Overall, I had an amazing time. Service was great and everyone we spoke to (we made friends with couple next to us) was friendly.

We went with the Butcher's Feast, and each cut of steak was absolutely delicious. We also got the Wagyu add-on for a bit of an extra charge, and honestly I would say it is worth it. I loved how you could completely customize each and every bite. All of the steak was soooo flavorful, and all of the vegetables were crunchy and flavorful. One of my favorite parts of the meal was also watching them cook the steak for us right at our table. Just tell them what kind of cook you want on your steak, and they will take care of the rest. As far as the approachability of this restaurant, I found it very welcoming and a really great hospitality team. Having never tried a Michelin Star restaurant before, I was worried I would be out of my element but I felt very comfortable here. They tell you how to make your bites of vegetables and recommend different flavor combinations to try. This is an AMAZING place to come on a special occasion, and the price of the meal reflects the high quality of the aged steak, and the attention to detail on each dish. Highly recommend the Butcher's Feast and a trip to come visit this restaurant.

The egg soufflé is amazing, wish the server told us how to eat all the accoutrements but when we asked we were walked through it. Drinks were solid - old fashioned, the gold standard were nice and boozy and the logo ice was a nice touch. Vibe was good and would go back for that Wagyu and soufflé alone.

From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable--attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. You can immediately tell this is a place that takes hospitality seriously. We started with the beef carpaccio, which was beautifully presented and delicately seasoned--light, flavorful, and the perfect way to begin the meal. The wedge salad followed, crisp and refreshing with just the right balance of richness and acidity. For the mains, the experience really elevated. I had the tomahawk steak, and it was outstanding--perfectly cooked, deeply flavorful, and easily one of the better steaks I've had in Miami. My wife ordered the lobster ravioli, and this dish deserves special mention: it wasn't just ravioli with a hint of lobster--it actually featured generous, large pieces of lobster, which made it feel both indulgent and well worth ordering. The ambiance strikes a great balance between upscale and lively, making it ideal for both a special occasion or an elevated night out in Brickell. Now, to be clear--prices are definitely on the higher side. But in this case, you truly get what you pay for. Between the quality of the food, the execution, and the level of service, it feels justified. Bottom line...If you're willing to splurge for a memorable steakhouse experience, Dirty French Steakhouse is absolutely worth it. We'll definitely be back.

I took advantage of their 4 course $60 dinner special (not listed on their website but offered every day, including weekends) and went with the Caesar Salad, 14 oz skirt steak, fries and flan. Each dish was very good, the steak was cooked a perfect medium rare, the fries were crispy and good, and the flan was probably the best I've ever had. I enjoyed a very good glass of Malbec reserve with my meal. La Cabrera also offers a $39 lunch special. Ambiance was charming and the service was also very good. Far superior choice, food wise, to Chop.

After enjoying a fantastic dinner here back in January for my wife's birthday, it felt only right…read moreto return to La Cabrera Coconut Grove in August to bring my wife's father for a Miami Spice Lunch outing. A restaurant that still comes to mind months later is usually doing something right, and this visit confirmed what we loved about our first experience. We made reservations without any issues a couple of days before. The restaurant was clean, bright, and had not filled up yet with the busy Sunday family crowd. Upon being seated, we were provided with the regular menu and the Miami Spice Lunch menu. The Miami Spice Lunch, which has now become a daily Executive Lunch special, is a standout value. The portion sizes and the quality of the Argentinian steaks speak for themselves. As a group, here's what we ordered: Starters - Ham and Cheese Empanadas - Morcilla - Grilled Provolone Each starter delivered exactly what you'd expect from an Argentinian steakhouse. The empanadas were warm and flaky, the morcilla was rich and well seasoned, and the grilled provolone came out bubbling and perfect for sharing amongst our table with the restaurant's complementary bread basket. Entrée: - New York Strip Steak, 12 oz This was the only cut of steak we ordered. It was cooked to each of our desired temperatures and seasoned simply, letting the quality of the beef speak for itself. It is clear why La Cabrera has a reputation as one of Latin America's best restaurants. Sauces on the side, which included a BBQ sauce, and a chimichurri, were left for our choosing and were used for the side dishes more than anything. Sides: - French Fries - Jasmine Rice Both sides complemented the steak well. The fries were crispy and large in size. My father-in-law, a cuban man who's very serious about his rice dishes, thought the jasmine rice was very good. Dessert: - Dulce de Leche Ice Cream with Cone - Dulce de Leche Pancakes The ice cream was smooth and rich, while the pancakes were finished with a sugary powder coating that was impossible to resist. This lunch reinforced why La Cabrera continues to be stand out in a crowded field of steakhouses. Between the consistency, generous portions, and the value of their daily menu specials, it's an easy recommendation whether you're bringing family, hosting someone from out of town, or simply looking for a great lunch in Coconut Grove.

She thoughtfully addressed every request, from warming up the bread to perfectly toasting it, small details that truly elevated the evening. The appetizers set the tone.. A must-try is the goat cheese cheese cake: creamy, smooth, flavorful, and slightly sweet. If you enjoy a sweet-forward appetizer, this one is a winner. However, if you're leaning more savory, La Tablita is the way to go, juicy blood sausage, meaty and flavorful sausage, and cheese-onion empanadas that are perfectly grilled cheese and wonderfully toasted. Another standout was the grilled octopus with crushed almonds, cooked just right and full of depth. For the entrées, you can't go wrong with the Brazilian-style picanha cooked the Argentine way, rich, juicy, and full of flavor. The classic filet mignon was also very meaty, though I found it slightly mild; pairing it with the sweet potato fries was the best match, they were unexpectedly better than the truffle fries. The desserts also stole the show. The molten dulce de leche lava cake, the crêpe with warm dulce de leche, and the flan were our full dose of dulce de leche. The highlight was the lava cake served warmed, melting the ice cream and bathing the dessert in vanilla lava ice cream. The warm dulce de leche on the crêpe felt like an extra shot of one of my favorite Argentine treats. We wrapped it all up with a warm, foamy cinnamon cappuccino, the perfect digestivo. Pro tip: make sure to order a good Malbec or Cabernet Sauvignon (of course Argentinian wines) to properly accompany the meats. The ambiance is very corporate steakhouse oriented, maybe it is the Brickell vibes. Side note: love the name, Baires, short for Buenos Aires, a very creative acronym.
