Hi everyone and I hope you are all doing well. So my better half asks me to take her somewhere very special for her birthday this year and it could not be anywhere we have already been before.... Challenge accepted! After some careful deliberation and reviewing all my options, I opted to take her to KLAW behind the OMNI hotel in downtown Miami. Additionally I decided to invite a few friends along as well to amp up the fun factor a bit. Now I will let you know that going in to this I knew that KLAW was going to end up being a very expensive outing but you know what you are not going to take it with you and may as well enjoy the ride guys! This place is very expensive but the quality of the food and service was excellent! I did take a few bottles of wine to lessen the blow but even still the corking fee was $75 / bottle and $150 if you are bringing a magnum which I did. Our team of servers were amazing and really did everything they could to make our dining experience memorable. The restaurant is actually nestled within the Miami Woman's Club Downtown and in a very historic building to boot. You can certainly feel the Old Miami Al Capone vibe in this building. The building was very tastefully remodeled and the ambiance was amazing and so were the views of Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach and the Port of Miami. Whether you are in the bar area upstairs and sitting in the open patio area or in the main dining area below, the layout and setting was wonderful. From the onset we all opted to order family style, which in my opinion is the best way to go. Still going to be expensive but you will save a little money. So on to the food! To start we ordered the Grilled Giant Prawn and the Lobster Aguachile appetizers to share which were both amazing. Hindsight we should have possibly ordered a third for good measure but we wanted to leave some room for the main courses. For the main course we decided on a Surf and Turf combination which included the 30oz Dry Aged Porterhouse and 5lbs of King Crab meat for the whole table. For sides we ordered the truffle oil French fries, the sautéed mushrooms and the asparagus spears. Everything was cooked to absolute perfection and the King Crab meat was so sweet and delicious. It was really, really good. No need to worry as the server team will bring all the crab meat to the table and then proceed to prepare right there in front of you. No struggling with crab claws at KLAW everyone... Outside of amazing steaks and king crab, KLAW really has other great options with regards to seafood that I am pretty sure are all just as good, so I am sure theirs is a little something for everyone in the family. The server team is very knowledgeable and really took their time to guide us since this was a first time for all of us. For dessert we decided to order the Carrot Cake and Candy Bar which were both amazing. Honestly I had not tried a carrot cake as good as this in a long time and that is saying something. It was really that good. Rounding off the evening being the good Cubans that we are we had to have some coffee everyone right? Happy to report that the espressos and cappuccinos were great as well. I have to say that we all had an awesome time at KLAW overall as it was great across the boards. We liked it so much we went back to the bar after dinner to hang for a little while and take in the view a bit more. Seeing as my better half was all smiles, I think I hit the mark on finding something "special" for this birthday event. So your probably asking: Hey Nelson how much damage did you guys do that night? Good question. Well it was six of us and all the gents at this table can eat, so with wine and all the appetizers, food, sides, drinks, desserts, etc. we ended up spending about $1,500.00. Not cheap at all but the King Crab does tend to drive the price up guys. Was it worth it, absolutely 100%. Truthfully you can dine here for a lot less money everyone but it was a special event and as in Las Vegas we just "Let it ride"! We will all definitely be back again at some point as overall this restaurant is definitely firing on all cylinders. If you are planning a special event for someone you care about or maybe you just want to get your quality King Crab on then you really can't go wrong here guys. Wishing everyone a great time, Enjoy and Bon Appétit mes ami! read more

Beautiful view, truly incredible food (we tried the ceviche, tuna tartare, and hamachi crudo) and outstanding service. Pricey but worth it

Everything. Advice make reservation for rooftop. Slightly more casual menu but still has almost all the same offerings as dining room with limited Steak options. The atmosphere and view in rooftop is where to book read more

Welcome to the best surf and turf restaurant in Miami. I say this knowing very well that there are many other locations that specialize in seafood and others that specialize in steak. Klaw has managed to sync both of those together for an epic eating experience. I can definitely say without a doubt, that their king crab is the best king crab I've ever had. The crab was soft and sweet, like nothing I've ever had before. The crab is live in a tank until you order. I'm not sure, but I don't know of any other restaurants in Miami offer this. Anyway, there's a rooftop/top floor dining area, with bar and DJ. Amazing views and a different menu than the main dining room. The main dining room is exquisite with window views of some very beautiful buildings. I highly recommend this restaurant. Please note that it is very expensive, but quite worth it. Elite pro tip: Arrive about an hour before your reservation (make a reservation) and have a drink at the rooftop bar. read more

We celebrated our 5 year anniversary here and had the most incredible experience. From the moment we walked in the two hostess that greeted us were very welcoming. They remembered it was our anniversary and even complimented our baby. We were then taken to our table and they were very accommodating and made sure we felt comfortable. Our waiter Peter in the main dining room was amazing, very knowledgeable of the food and drink menu and did not miss a detail. We mentioned that we wanted to go to the rooftop for a drink after and he recommended we have desert upstairs so he took care of us by having a table ready as soon as we arrived. My husband and I were so happy that we called our friends and told them we couldn't wait to celebrate another special event here in the future. The service, the ambiance, food, and drinks were incredible. Also Daniel and Sebastian took care of us in the rooftop, they were very friendly and hospitable. Loved it and will definitely be back ! read more

I really wanted to give Klaw five stars. My husband took me there for my birthday and what an amazing place. It is beautiful, swanky, off the beaten path, and everything Miami. You exit the elevator into a beautiful dinning room. We were there early and got a window seat with views out to Biscayne Bay. Our waitress Hailey was professional, well-trained, sweet, and delightful. All the servers were top-notch and on point. We had Cava and wine, which were both amazing. We had 3 appetizers which were great. I had the Nigerian prawn, which was something special. I have never seen a prawn that large and never tasted one that delicious. We ordered the grilled mushrooms and the grilled green beans. We rarely eat vegetables with such delight. Dessert was the flourless chocolate cake, another star. Not too much and not too sweet! Why 4 stars? My husband ordered the chicken which he had tried before and really Loved. But this time it was way too salty. Stephan the Manager did everything to help him order the right steak and his efforts were noted and appreciated. They really tried to make it right. He eventually ordered a steak and the truffle fries, which were Good, but just a little much by that point. We would definitely go back! read more

Gods awesome, service great all perfect . I recommend this restaurant 100%. I like to mention Raul( server assistant) he's so kind read more

Dined out with the girls this evening. We opted for Klaw as I have been wanting to dine at this Miami Iconic location, for quite a while. The design and decor was very nice. There is formal dining below with a more vibrant dining at the rooftop bar. Both nice settings. Food was excellent and service superb. You may want to return for a nice cut of meat! read more

It was our 10 yr anniversary this week and since the weather in Miami was "cold" we decided it was only natural to spend it at a Miami roof top. We came across Klaw as and decided to go. I was hesitant because I know it's next to casadona and I've heard terrible reviews on it but I don't like to assume very much so we gave it a try. We made reservations and we set off As soon as we arrived they honored the time of the reservation and sat us right away. The roof top has a spectacular view of the entire Bay Area. Perfect for us who to this day admire and love Miami it was panoramic and a great spot for pictures. The waiter whose name is Anthony was Great! He explained everything with enthusiasm and gave suggestion on what to order but without being annoying as some waiters tend to be, some try really hard to be like friend but this guy was very professional and gave very good suggestion on combinations, new items, specials ect. We started with the pesto pistachio burrata. It was to die for a great combination of flavors. It comes with hard toasted bread, great spread the since it was a seafood place but we also wanted steak we tried the angus cut with truffle and peppercorn sauce and the whole branzino with butter and pistachio sauce. We ordered the sauces on the side just in case but ended up just pouring it all over since we realized they just made the both dishes 10 tiles better however by themselves, both dishes were outstanding! The branzino skin was crunchy yet soft with a beautiful flavor and the aged angus had a smoked oven taste that was to die for! And the branzino again, melts in your mouth you don't need to chew it! Both dishes were perfectly made that night. And finally we had the flourless chocolate cake, again a little hesitant because side it sounded very bland but I couldn't be more wrong, the caramel, chocolate and sweet roasted almonds, ... delicious! What a great combination. Couldn't Belive it was flourless and gluten free and all that. I recommend this place 100% it has a great view to enjoy the main dinning room is cozy and the dishes are amazing! And also I hope you get Anthony as your sever, he'll make sure to take of everything you need. Lesson here is never assume, read more

Fabulous place! The music good, great food, service on point! I would highly recommend it.

Food is slightly over priced but the cuts of meats and appetizers had amazing flavors that combined well. read more

We celebrated our anniversary there and they truly made it special! It's a beautiful space with gorgeous views! The rooftop has a beyond words scenery. One of the most interesting high-end menus, with an unbelievable wine list, with selection reflecting wines from allover the world not just France and California. Our Waiter and Sommelier were extremely attentive and knowledgeable! We were impressed with food quality and variety of sauces, creative dishes with exotic ingredients were all cooked to perfection. Sasha, the owner came out to chat with us and that special attention meant a lot to us! read more

The happy hour is so clutch. The drinks on the menu are fantastic and the drinks on the full menu are even better! The service has been hit or miss. But the view is to die for. read more

Too costly for crabs, better off w stone crabs. The filet mignon was 55$ and lacked flavor. Poor quality. appetizers 1 filet, one order claws , 2 drinks. $450. Rip Off. Great view read more

we had an amazing experience at the KLAW. Our server Giuseppe was absolutely on point. He guided us through the menu as it was our first time. The vibe was nice. The lights are properly dimmed which gave it a nice ambience. The food was coursed our properly; I don't like waiting too long in between courses, but it was properly done. The steak was out of this world. And of course the king crab was "to die for". Will definitely not order as much as I now know what I love from the menu, but I'll definitely be coming back here often!! read more

This use to be my favorite and I would tell all my friends now I might never come back... I've been there 7 times and it only gets worse.... Please change management. Management is BAD and continues to make POOR choices such as: - Replace beautiful booth with tiny tables stuck next to each other - Remove the entry level crab legs with only the most expensive left which is actually less tasty than the entry level I've tried both. - Remove some of their most popular sides like sweet potatoes that everyone loved ( even waiters are confused by these changes) - Steak quality use to be AMAZING now it's Ok.. my last sirloin was full of un-eatable fat - No clear leadership in both room upstairs and downstairs. Minimum wages hostess and nice waiters but you don't see any strong managers anywhere actually managing they are not so good. I will give them one last change until I'm done for good. read more

Went here yesterday with a few friends. Had to cancel our reservation at Smith and Wollensky because we didn't have time and decided to try this place out. Service was really great but we came for Steak and to be honest it was very disappointing, there was absolutely no flavor for any of the steaks we got and I was upset because this place is not cheap by any means. Go to Smith and Wollensky for the same exact price range and have the best steak you ever had. Had 5 steaks and every person was disappointed read more

Food was overall very good, as well as the kindness of the waiters, waitress and bussers. The ambiance and esthetic of the establishment is also beautiful and peaceful overlooking one of the nicest aspects of Biscayne Bay. The ultimate problem and disgust that absolutely ruined the experience is with the restaurant manager Valerie Pizarro. Her tone and verbiage towards the "guests" who attempt to provide feedback on their service was honestly the worst I have experienced in any country or establishment here in Miami. She treated our table in a very disrespectful and inattentive manner while nearly subtly racially profiling the guest ability to pay for their food due to addressing a service discrepancy. I stopped by with family and friends to host a brunch to celebrate my birthday. My food as well as the guest sitting next to me did not come out w. the meals of the rest of the group. We waited an additional 30-40 minutes for our food to come out after the group was already done eating. After the meal when the bill came, the restaurant made NO initial effort to address, acknowledge, or right their wrong in affecting our experience and we kindly addressed this issue with the server and asked for a full or partial adjustment for the 2 items that came out very late (and still not correct) - due to the fact that the items that came out well after everyone was done eating were still on the bill and clearly forgotten in the order. The waiter returned and kindly shared they would offer a complementary desert rather than add an adjustment to for the items that came out obscenely late. I asked to speak the manager, where Valerie appeared completely disengaged and unwilling to listen to our experience before we even expressed our issue as she had her mind made up. She stated "I'll take off a desert and nothing else" We shared that we are happy to pay for our desert as it came out on time along side the other desert orders and her next response was "I take off what I want and you pay for everything else" I noticed she was not receptive to the experience of her patrons and attempted to share feedback and let her know that the principal was not about the money, but more so the dining experience & the fact that as the person who hosted the brunch for my birthday that it wasn't the best experience for the entire group trying to wait for me and my friend to eat after saying grace. Valerie was completely inattentive to anything we had to say, continuously cut me off while trying to express my feedback on our experience and attempted to walk away several times during the conversation and said "I know what kind of guy you are, you just want to act like a big man in front of your people." Imagine that on your birthday while speaking respectfully. I asked for her to bring me her card so I can speak to the hospitality group since she was unwilling to take the feedback and I feel that her attitude as a restaurant manager was unacceptable and instead of coming back as manager and addressing the issue head on, she sent it with the sever instead who was not apart of the conversation at all after we initially escalated the issue along side a bill with none of the adjustments we requested. I asked the waiter to please send the manager over with her own card as a sign of respect for the conversation at minimum as she repeatedly disrespected us in her dialogue where she returned with her card and said "heres my card and if you have a problem with paying its fine, ill call the police." As an active member of the miami community who is a partner in several businesses in the area I will be sure to deter anyone from dining in this venue due to Valeries actions, especially as a manager. Im almost floored that you can even share a building with GROOT Hospitality as Dave would not tolerate such terrible behavior from management staff at any of his venues & will do my due diligence to speak with the owner of this establishment to have this addressed as it is allegedly privately owned. This is the service to expect from management at $1384.14 read more

We were there last night to celebrate my birthday and everything and everyone was outstanding. From the moment we came in to the moment we left, it was an absolute amazing experience. Will definitely remember this dinner for a long time read more

I was waiting for this place to open! I used to live around and was always wondering what is going to be there. So it happened. Me and my best friend decided to check it out. First of all, i love that this historical place ( Miami Women's club) was re-born in such a beautiful creation. From the vintage looking elevator, to balconies.. just feels like you went back in time! We sat at the bar. Landon was an excellent bartender: great company and amazing service. We ordered seafood appetizer( the best oysters i've ever had!) and their signature margarita. Simply delicious! Our experience was top notch! Can't wait to go back! read more

Celebrating our 6 year anniversary at this great restaurant. The service was amazing and the views over looking the bay set a romantic vide while having dinner and watching the sun set. Make sure to ask for a table next to a window over looking the bay when making your reservation. This place is known for its stone crabs but don't overlook experiencing their meats as well. The staff are knowledgeable and have a great selection of meat grades and cuts. They also have a wide selection of wine to pair with your dinner. The dress code is business casual. For men: slacks, button down and shoes (no sneakers), jacket/ blazer optional. Ladies: You already know. You don't need a random guy telling you how to dress. Once your done with dinner don't forget to check out there bar upstairs. read more

Went to Klaw for my Birthday in June 2023... The upstairs bar are is great to relax and get into the KLAW mode. The bartenders are very knowledgeable mixologist and attentive. After having a few drink we went down for dinner. The dinner and KLAW's specialties were very well explained. The ambience, service, food, and presentation are top notch. Looking forward to going back. They definitely earn 5 Stars! read more

Great ambiance and exceptional service from start to finish! The food was good and presentation was on point! The crab was divine! I prefer drawn butter to dip my claws in, but they did some sort of fusion which was not for me. The truffle potato wedges were flavorful and tasty but too much potato (truffle fries would allow more room to enjoy other dishes). The oysters, ceviche and bok choy were really fresh and delicious. The crab tacos were way too spicy and lacked flavor. We shared our experience with the team and it seemed to have been received well considering they're new. Let's hope it's taken into consideration. The customer service and ambiance were reasons to go back and I'm grateful for the team of people who stood out from start to finish (Thalia, Valarie, Michael, Carlos, Mayrel, Titus, Daniel, Christian and everyone who made the night great!). read more

Amazing dining experience! Everything from location, decor, service, drinks and food was top notch. There is main dining room and there is also rooftop area with indoor and outdoor seating serving drinks and a limited menu. I recommend having a drink in the rooftop area and then heading downstairs for dining. Overall everything we had was good but the steaks and claws were amazing. It's be better to order everything for the table and share since the portions might be big for individual orders. The highlight for me was the steak. Cooked to perfect temperature and the flavor of the meat itself was unbelievable. They did the "real deal" method of having the steak menu categorized by farm/breed instead of just by the different cuts. The candy bar dessert is also a must. Only complaint is valet. It was full and we had to drive around to find street parking. When we were walking it was obvious that they could do a better job organizing the space for valet parking. I've seen valet easily fit twice as many cars in the same area with better organization. read more

The service at Klaw was on point. Everyone is very attentive and checking in often. Ramon, our server, did a great job taking care of us tonight. Unfortunately the food just didn't match the price point for us. I started with the half a dozen oysters and my second oyster was poorly shucked and resulted in me biting into a piece of shell. It was also fishy. Third one was okay. But my fourth one had the same issue with the shell piece again and was even fishier. I stopped eating them because the taste was just terrible. Ramon did offer me a glass of wine, on him, but I declined. That was a nice gesture on his part. But there really isn't anything worse than bad oysters. Yuck! The beef carpaccio was our favorite dish but it's a very simple dish and sliced so thin you can barely fork it. The prawn was tasty but the wood fire grill really overpowered the sweetness of the shrimp. Also, $30 for 1 prawn. The lobster aguachile was good. Very spicy, which I loved. But the flavors left me wanting a bit more. My friends steak was not bad. It was not anything that wow'ed us unfortunately. Mushrooms were decent. Overall, for the $350 price tag, I'd rather go to L'Atelier or something of the sort. This just didn't really leave any type of impression on me whatsoever. It was just okay. read more

I'm a big fan of happy hours and this one delivers. Bites for $12 (oysters, yum) and a choice of several cocktails/wines. Brought an out of towner who was duly impressed.

Oh what a treat! We shared 2 steaks between the 3 of us and 2 sides. Plenty of food. The Bok Choy and grilled sweet potatoes were what I imagine would be created on an episode of Top Chef.

Thank you for making our anniversary dinner spectacular! read more

UNREAL atmosphere at this new Miami gem, get your reservations before they get booked out for the next few months. Some of the best waterfront views you can find anywhere in Miami, let alone Bayshore. The service and attention to detail from the entire staff was amazing, huge shout out to David and Sebastian for what they've put on. Our server Yoyo was absolutely amazing as well, providing us with all the insights needed. This is by far the best seafood I have had in Miami, the Norwegian Crab is a MUST TRY! The heritage bone in rib-eye puts any other cut of steak you've tried to shame. Highly recommend, excited to come back for more! Oh and I can't forget, they have some of the cleanest and best looking napkins I've seen around! read more
