executive summary: \r
\r
Pros: Great food, attractive yet modern dining room, overall good value for a steak house on South Beach. Good experience/money well spent.\r
\r
Cons: Nothing serious but the sides are very small for a relatively large price, and while the money is well spent be prepared to spend. This is not your amazing value aka diamond in the rough aka "ballin' on a budget" steakhouse. \r

At a minimum a steak house is a restaurant that specializes in the aging and preparation of meat, particularly beef. What separates a good steak house from a great one are all the little things. BLT in my opinion is a great steak house because they understand this. The reason people tend to patronize a particular steak house is due to certain other variables, beyond the steak, which one could generically summarize as " the experience." It's this often intangible and undervalued novelty factor which can explain how a restaurant serving great food fails and why restaurant serving not so great food becomes successful. As with all steak houses BLT excels in the preparation of there steaks. The reason I recommend you try BLT is because they have truly excellent service, a fantastic location, a beautiful dining room that manages to be sophisticated without being pretentious, antiquated, or just absurd, and because they know you don't just want a steak ...you also want an experience.
