Visiting from Kansas, I wanted to see how Miami does steak, as I'd heard nothing but praise for Prime 112 (which I later on my trip was able to verify was merited). My girlfriend MADE me get a table at Table 8, she said the Chef was People Magazine's ""50 most beautiful"" or some bs like that, and that all the celebs went there, I relented (a trade-off for not getting her a Super Bowl ticket and leaving her at the hotel).\r

There were a bunch of steaks on the menu and plenty of girlie fish options for her. I was torn between a huge bone-in ribeye and a pork-chop, when the waiter told me there was a porterhouse for 2 on the menu. I got that for myself and though stuffed, put the whole thing away. It wasnt a steak like i'm used to, as it was encased in salt and herbs- but was increadible none the less.\r

The server was very nice, but could have been a bit more attentive. We waited a while between course, but hey, it was the Super Bowl, and I was grateful to have had a reservation (girlfriend planned ahead).\r

stayed in the bar area outside after dinner, as we didnt care about night-clubbing, and they even had ESPN playing - a bonus. \r

I got to keep my eye on pre-game coverage, while my lady sipped champagne! I was expecting something over the top when I read the clip from People magazine that was posted by the door, but it turned out to be a great cross between steak-house and gourmet restaurant- with a little bit of sports bar thrown in for good measure.
Pros: TV's playing sports
Cons: slow to get food
