Christy’s

Christy’s, the city’s premiere steakhouse, has become a South Florida institution, where you’ll consistently find great food and excellent service. This old-school meatery offers an intimate atmosphere with its romantically lit, wood-paneled dining rooms, mahogany tables, and gold-gilded framed paintings. Patrons dress up when visiting Christy’s to enjoy a classy, fine-dining experience. It’s the perfect place for a business meeting over drinks, and it also offers a superb setting for a special occasion. Christy’s bar area is also a popular after-work, happy-hour destination.

Start with the Caesar’s salad, a Christy’s tradition served with crispy romaine hearts, house-made rustic croutons, and fresh-grated parmesan cheese. For entrées, order one of their top-quality steaks, like the filet mignon or the rib eye steak that’s been dry-aged and pairs nicely with a side of mac and cheese.

Dessert highlights include the baked Alaska, made with Neapolitan ice cream that’s served over chocolate pound cake, topped with a soft merengue, then drizzled with schnapps, which is set on fire for a flambé finish. Other delicious dessert options include key lime pie, bread pudding, and a brownie à la mode.

This steakhouse is one of the most emblematic restaurants in the city.
