When in Miami, you should always expect something new and surprising in Brickell. It’s just one fun fact that describes the area perfectly. Not only is Brickell a true gem in the Downtown Miami area, but it truly stands out on its own. It’s not only unique but has a sexy feel, a place where you can be anyone you want to be or who you are for a night. Or until the wee hours of the morning. The Brickell area is one where foodies and those who love the nightlife can escape to and quickly find what could be their new favorite place. For me, a current visit to Brickell meant finding what’s possibly one of my new favorite places. This place is one where nightlife and dining connect in new and unexpected ways, and it invites the eager and curious to come out and play.
That place is called Dirty French Steakhouse. And you had better go visit and get ready for an experience like no other that defines what it means to be classy, quirky and fun. A great mix for a night out.
When I stepped through the restaurant’s doors, I was greeted by immersive décor, such as plush zebra chairs and a disco ball-inspired dining room. And, the nicest staff, a group that warmly greeted us and could tell that we were truly excited for the night ahead.
While there, you can also expect a lot of energy. It’s the type of energy that tempts diners and revelers to stay the night, or as long as they are allowed to, especially when they see the restaurant’s jungle-inspired bar and lounge. It’s the perfect spot to start the night or finish it with a nightcap of your favorite classic cocktail or spirit.
Dirty French Steakhouse is place that comes from a lot of love and dedication, and a passion for the finest foods and the best environment possible. And this is thanks to those behind the creation of this concept.
Co-Founders Jeff Zalaznick,Mario Carbone, and Rich Torrisi decided that this was going to be a special place, and it shows. Not is this apparent and proven by the amazing environment that diners will enjoy, but also the well-selected and prepared food.
The menu at the restaurant is one where you can scour and decide if you are having a perfect cut of meat or fresh fish. Just imagine a place where you can eat deliciously aged steaks, as well as sides that are meant to be shared. From fresh oysters and other raw bar items, fresh lobster and even a delicious bone marrow dish, this is the place where you can explore new dishes and try something that you might have never enjoyed before.
My husband had and loved the restaurant’s Duck à l’Orange, which proved that they really know how to present a classic French dish with a twist, one that was full of flavor and presented with flair. The restaurant also offers nightly specials, so come ready to be surprised and awed by their different options. The evening that we were present to dine, there was a special and rare truffle sprinkled upon the pasta, making it one of my favorites of the night.
While there, I had a dirty martini, which is only one of the offered classic drinks on the menu. Their cocktail list also showcases unique drinks made by expert mixologists, many that you can enjoy during dinner and at the restaurant’s lounge.
Don’t be afraid to ask your server for a recommendation from their 700-plus-bottle wine list, which took several years to build and is as remarkable as any in the United States. We could tell that the selections were made with care, and the wines selected for us paired perfectly with their meal.
We ended our dining experience with the restaurant’s impressive sundae dessert. Served tableside, you can choose from toppings such as gummies and flavored sprinkles from a cart that is wheeled directly to your table. The dessert is purely a true celebration, and the perfect way to end a night and dinner that is as indulgent as it is fun.
Make sure to take the time to treat yourself. Dirty French Steakhouse is not just a restaurant, it is a place to escape from the usual and right into an era of excitement and an out of this world experience.
Dirty French Steakhouse proves that impeccable service, food and cocktails can make a place not only beautiful and fun, but also one that can make you feel like a pure superstar inside a place that glitters and shines with elite offerings.
