PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Although there's no shortage of steakhouses in Miami, there's nothing like this one. Reminiscent of something out of Las Vegas, everything here is massive -- from the stunning all-glass wine cellar that takes up an entire wall, to the sheer size of the place at 7,600 square feet. And then there are the prices. But if you don't mind splurging, a meal at the star chef's first and only South Florida location is worth it. Start off with some oysters on the half shell -- east coast or west coast, your choice -- and then continue with the all-natural farm-raised angus beef, American Kobe beef, or actual Japanese Kobe beef -- where a 6-ounce rib-eye will set you back $170! Side dishes are delicious -- jalapeño creamed corn ($9), truffled mac and cheese ($12), and a trio of duck fat fries ($8) will not only bust your bank account, but your cholesterol levels, too. A scene of well-heeled Aventura residents -- including actor James Caan and perma-tanned man George Hamilton -- and elegantly dressed hotel guests compose the equally rich crowd.
