Prime 112 Restaurant

Prime 112 has been South Beach's most sought-after steakhouse reservation since Myles Chefetz opened it in 2004 inside the historic Brown's Hotel on Ocean Drive. The chef-driven menu blends dry-aged prime beef, Kobe beef sliders, and Italian-inflected seafood with modern twists, and the truffled lobster mac and cheese, oysters, and porterhouse are among the most talked-about dishes in the city.

The high-energy dining room trades dark steakhouse clichés for bright, sexy décor, up-tempo music, and a see-and-be-seen crowd of locals, tourists, and celebrities people-watching from sidewalk tables. Expect a lively, sometimes loud atmosphere with reservations required and a healthy price tag, with entrées and shared plates pushing this firmly into fine-dining territory.

Prime 112 sits at 112 Ocean Drive in South of Fifth, steps from the beach and the Miami Beach nightlife.
