S,mith & Wollensky, one of Miami’s traditional steakhouses with branches across the country, is always a solid bet for a casual meal or celebration. Adjacent to South Pointe Park, it features a lovely waterside, treelined setting with spacious outdoor patios, some seats with a roof cover ,and others with umbrellas. It’s a top choice for outdoor dining in a steakhouse in Miami Beach. The menu of course is heavy with beef options and all the sides that make a perfect match, but also, popular seafood choices, salads and sandwiches. It’s open for lunch and dinner seven days a week.

Fogo de Chao in South Beach and Coral Gables (and now Fort Lauderdale)
Fogo de Chao in South Beach and the newest outpost in Coral Gables specialize in Brazilian churrasco. They’re known for their high-quality cuts of meat cooked over an open flame in full view, and then carved tableside by gaucho chefs. Meats are the main event, but for non-meat eaters, there is plenty to indulge in with an all-you-can-eat salad bar. One of the best deals in town can be combined with their market table and feijoada bar which can be purchased separately for lunch or dinner. There’s also one in Fort Lauderdale. Bom Proveito!

Of course there’s the prime Angus beef and a selection of primo seafood, but, wait, there’s more..
