Papi Steak
RESTAURANT SUMMARY

Where Golden Era Hollywood glamour collides with Miami's electric energy, Papi Steak Miami transforms the traditional steakhouse into a sensory spectacle that redefines fine dining entertainment. Nestled in South Beach's exclusive South of Fifth neighborhood, this 93-seat culinary theater has become the city's most coveted reservation since opening in 2019.
The brainchild of David "Papi" Einhorn and hospitality mogul David Grutman, Papi Steak emerged from a friendship that began with backyard grilling sessions and evolved into Miami's most talked-about dining destination. Einhorn's signature kosher-cut steak with secret sauce became Komodo's bestseller, inspiring this standalone temple to elevated steakhouse cuisine. The partnership with Groot Hospitality—the powerhouse behind LIV and Story—ensures every detail reflects Miami's luxury dining standards.
The menu celebrates kosher-style influences through Einhorn's upbringing while embracing modern steakhouse excellence. The legendary Tomahawk-cut Papi Steak arrives with theatrical flair, grilled at 1,000 degrees and accompanied by the proprietary dairy-free Papi Steak™ Sauce that launched the restaurant's reputation. Beyond prime cuts, the kitchen crafts elevated Jewish-inspired dishes including Wagyu pastrami, chicken schnitzel, and crispy latkes alongside indulgent offerings like Maine lobster and truffle mac-n-cheese. Each plate balances tradition with innovation, creating a tasting menu experience that honors heritage while embracing contemporary Miami fine dining.
ICrave's interior design, enhanced by artist Candice Kaye's custom smoky mirrors, creates an intimate yet electrifying atmosphere. Red velvet banquettes and hardwood tables provide classic steakhouse elegance, while advanced lighting and sound systems transform dinner into performance art. Signature presentations feature lasers and pyrotechnics, elevating steak service to theatrical heights. The full bar's specialty cocktail program complements an extensive wine list featuring over 150 carefully curated selections, each chosen to enhance the menu's bold flavors.
Service transcends traditional hospitality, making every guest feel like part of an A-list experience. DJs spin late into the evening, while the sommelier guides diners through perfect pairings. The chef's table offers front-row seats to culinary theater, where precision meets spectacle in every preparation.
Reservations at this celebrity-frequented hotspot require advance planning, with prime evening slots booking weeks ahead. The dress code reflects the venue's glamorous positioning—smart casual to cocktail attire ensures guests match the sophisticated energy. For Miami's most unforgettable steakhouse experience, where culinary excellence meets entertainment mastery, Papi Steak delivers an evening that lingers long after the final bite.
