Shula's Steak House

Frommer's Review

Climb a sweeping staircase in the Alexander All-Suite Luxury Hotel and go through the glass hallway -- designed like an atrium, so exotic flora and fauna beckon from both within and without -- and you'll find yourself in this magnificent restaurant that has been acclaimed as one of the greatest steakhouses in all of North America. If you're feeling adventurous, try the 48-ounce club (you can get your name engraved on a gold plaque if you can finish this absolutely huge piece of meat) or settle for the 20-ounce Kansas City strip or the 12-ounce filet mignon. Fresh seafood abounds when in season, and the oysters Rockefeller are a particularly good choice. The entertaining staff is very knowledgeable. The restaurant also has the "No Name Lounge," where live piano music, premium spirits, and cigar smoking are available.

There's another branch of Shula's at 7601 NW 154th St. (in Don Shula's Golf Club off the Palmetto Expwy.; tel. 305/820-8102) in West Dade.
