Top Steakhouses In South Florida

There's nothing like a good steak with a baked potato for dinner. Many people are still meat-eaters and the tradition of a expertly grilled steak hits "the spot" to satisfy a person's belly. South Florida has beautiful restaurants with picturesque views where a couple or one person alone could sit and make memories while eating food that appears to be reserved for heads of state. One forkful of the tender meat and cuts provided by the restauranteurs will exude groans. Not only are the steak selections first-rate, but they can be coupled together to create the Surf & Turf combination which kicks up the delight to a whole other level. Whether wagyu beef, filet, porterhouse, rib-eye or black angus beef, these restaurants have it all for the meat-eating customer to indulge.

Surf and turf (usually lobster tail and a steak menu selection) is one of the most sublime creations for the restaurant menu. On the one hand, there is the tender, light flavor of the lobster, mixed with butter, and the other is the heavy, rough and delicious texture of the steak. As one eats both during a meal, the palate is overwhelmed and overjoyed with the two flavors. Grille 66 has a surf and turf menu selection (8 oz. South African lobster tail with 8 oz. barrel cut filet mignon) and its seaside locale is breathtaking.
