This NYC transplant within the Bancroft hotel in South Beach features art deco design and an old check-in counter repurposed as a butcher’s counter serving house-smoked meats.

The menu of prime cuts and modern chophouse favorites includes dishes like dry-aged New York strip and a Kansas City bone-in strip, along with steak tartare tacos and Gruyère popovers.

Located inside the 1 Hotel & Homes, this swanky steakhouse displays a sexy all-dark interior with warm lighting.
