New York transplants recognize the Smith & Wollensky name from the landmark factory restaurant in midtown Manhattan. Now, in a pseudo old house in South Point Park stands another, the second Smith & Wollensky. Die hard carnivores from all corners of the globe congregate at S&W, the beach’s most excessive steakhouse.

Swarming with high fallutin’ tourists and corporate groups, it’s a great place to meet out-of-towners with prestigious jobs. Wine connoisseurs relish in the unbeatable wine list, surpassing that of the previous city’s champion (The Forge).

America’s reclaimed meal of choice, steak, is a time honored standard here. Tenderloins rule the roost, but S&W’s chef does a bang-up sizzling pork loin, the restaurant’s massive claim to fame that could feed a small family. A mere $75 buys the voluminous seafood platter. Views of the Port of Miami and Fisher Island can be had from the patio, the outdoor bar, and just about every table in the house.
