Practical notes

What to plan for before you book — spend, reservation strategy, and who should skip this guide entirely.

Expected spend
Plan on roughly $80–160 per head with a side and a drink; prime cuts and dry-aged steaks push the top of that range.
Booking strategy
Reserve one to two weeks out for prime weekend windows, especially in Kendall. Early seatings are the easiest walk-in.
What to order
Order the cut the kitchen is known for and take it medium-rare unless you have a reason not to; split a larger format — ribeye or porterhouse — for the table and add one house side to share rather than one each.
Skip if
you want a light or budget meal. A steakhouse is a splurge format — for value-first dining, our cheap-eats picks are the better call.

Editorial restaurant image stand-in for Ossobuco Miami - Steak house

Wynwood doesn't need another mood board with a kitchen attached, and Ossobuco Miami appears to understand that. This contemporary steakhouse operates at a mid-price point in a neighborhood better known for murals than marble, and by all accounts it commits to that premise — no theatrical prix-fixe, no studied posturing, just a focused menu that centers serious beef and keeps the room accessible to dates who did their homework, groups who want a long table, and Wynwood regulars who've eaten through the block enough to recognize when a kitchen has actual conviction.

The menu is built to move from light to substantial with real logic. The Prime Beef Tartare reportedly sets the tone early — a classically handled opener that diners consistently point to as an indicator of the kitchen's care with raw protein. The Cavatelli Tartufo is the dish that earns the most repeat mentions: a pasta course where truffle is reportedly integrated throughout rather than finished on top, which is the difference between a dish that tastes of something and one that merely suggests it. For the main event, the Black Angus Tomahawk is the room's showpiece — dramatic in scale and frequently cited as the table centerpiece for groups. Those after something more refined tend toward the Prime Bone-In Rib-Eye, which is known for its marbling and is consistently described as the quieter, more precise choice on the steak side of the menu. The Wild Mushroom rounds things out as a side that reportedly holds its own against the larger cuts rather than disappearing beside them.

Practical notes worth knowing before you go: the room fills quickly on Thursday and Friday evenings, with noise levels climbing sharply by 8 p.m. Request a table away from the bar if you're dining with a group. The build-your-own approach — tartare, one pasta, one steak, the mushroom — is the configuration most worth planning around.

Editorial restaurant image stand-in for La Cabrera Sunny Isles

La Cabrera Sunny Isles operates in a register this stretch of the Atlantic coastline has refined into something close to an art form: unapologetic luxury that hasn't bothered to tighten its collar. The La Cabrera group carries genuine Argentine pedigree, and this outpost reportedly brings that confidence intact — a room that draws couples on occasion nights, tables of four who argued about where to go and are relieved someone decided, and the kind of Sunny Isles regulars who treat the booth like a standing reservation at a theater they half-own. It is not a room built on restraint. The crowd, by most accounts, arrives already planning to stay late.

The Cowboy Bone-In Rib Eye is the organizing principle around which the rest of the menu makes sense — a cut the kitchen is known for treating with the seriousness Argentine beef culture demands, and the dish diners consistently cite as the reason to return. The menu's logic rewards building backward from it: the Grilled Pil-Pil Shrimp is reported to play well as an opener, oceanic and garlicky in the Spanish tradition the name signals. The Burrata over tomato and avocado tartar reads as the room's cooler, quieter note before the main event arrives. The Veal Sweetbreads are there for the table willing to lean into the Argentine offal tradition; they reward the curious and are easy to skip if that register isn't yours. For dessert, the Dulce de leche Cheesecake is the more specifically Argentine choice on a menu that could default to safer crowd-pleasers — and that specificity is the point.

Thursday and Friday nights are when the room reportedly finds its full pressure, which is when it earns its character rather than working against it. Request a table away from the service corridor, sit facing the room, and let the Filet Mignon be someone else's decision tonight.

Sunny's Steakhouse plants itself in Miami's Upper East Side with a retro American steakhouse concept that, based on its reputation, takes the format seriously rather than trading on its nostalgia alone. The room appears to operate as a neighborhood anchor — the kind of place that draws regulars rather than one-time occasion diners — which, in a city where restaurants frequently chase spectacle over consistency, is a meaningful distinction. The Upper East Side positioning matters: this is not a South Beach production designed for tourists, but a steakhouse calibrated, by all accounts, for the surrounding community.

The menu centers on the conventions of the classic American steakhouse, and what separates Sunny's reputation from the generic category is reportedly the attention paid to execution at the detail level. Reviewers and diners consistently point to the kitchen's apparent understanding that dry-aged beef requires precise handling — proper resting in particular — and that seasoning should amplify rather than obscure what the aging process develops in the meat. That the steakhouse sides are treated with comparable seriousness is a recurring note in accounts of the restaurant; a well-executed creamed spinach, the kind that earns its own mention rather than serving as filler, is reportedly among the reasons diners return. These are not glamorous distinctions, but they are the correct ones for a steakhouse to have.

Price level sits at a moderate range, which, if the kitchen's reported consistency holds, represents reasonable value for the format. Sunny's functions best, by all indications, as a repeat destination rather than a single-occasion reservation — the distinction between a restaurant you return to and one you check off. Reservations are recommended, particularly on weekends.
