The Forge
432 41st Street
Miami Beach, FL 33139
(305) 538-8533

From the moment you pull up, you can’t help but notice the flock of Rolls Royce’s and Porsche’s outside the faux castle frontage perched on conservative 41st Street. The Forge is one of the most visually surreal sites in South Beach, the hedonistic capital of Miami. Right out of an 80’s mobster flick, this garish place is brimming with decadently large parties of wealthy families, local politicians, and a new breed of sleek South Beach social climbers.

Some come to savor the acclaimed "Supersteak", others come to dine on less indulgent items such as The Forge’s fabulous stone crabs or other seafood specialties. It’s a steakhouse, though, and the inebriated crowd can attest to the fact that this is not the place to exercise moderate living.

If blatant intoxication isn’t your thing, The Forge also boasts one of the city’s most impressive extensive wine lists, with spectacular selections by the glass.

The adjacent Glass Nightclub is The Forge’s place to party until dawn.

Review:  Best restaurant in Miami by far! From food, service, to atmosphere - everything is top notch! Been there twice (June 2007, April 2008) and both times were equally good... Seafood lovers must try the Lobster Thermidor.. best dish ever! It is expensive ($100 for the lobster) but worth every penny! Best place to have a nice, romantic dinner. Fave waitress is Mariama.. she's lovely!

Review:  I feel that the food and the entire Forge is great. I had dinner there on a Wednesday evening and it was really fun because of the music they play down there and also Club Glass next door. I would recommend The Forge to all of my friends.

Review:  The decor, the food, the staff are all excellent! This place is great for a romantic dinner, and also a place to listen to nice music you do not hear everyday on the airwaves. I personally enjoy Sunday nights, but you will enjoy your dinner any night of the week!!!

Review:  When you walk into the Forge you'll see it's absolutely awesome. The ambiance transports you immediately. It was by far the best service we had while visiting South Florida. We were also impressed by the extensive and eclectic wine list. Definitely give this place a try!

Review:  The first thing that you should know is that the Forge is not located in South Beach - it's a little north on 41st Street, but well worth the short trip. The decor of this place is like something out of a movie set. Absolutely wonderful. We had a great time...words just don't do it justice.
