Steak 954

"This hotel restaurant on A1A is the best steakhouse in Fort Lauderdale. You can see the ocean from the outdoor patio, which is why everyone wants to wait for a table out there. But the indoor tables have a nice view too, thanks to big windows and an aquarium full of hypnotic jellyfish. The menu does everything a good steakhouse should: solid raw bar options, a wedge salad drenched in blue cheese and crispy bacon, and over a dozen steaks. But the 18oz dry-aged ribeye boosts this restaurant from good to great. It has a glistening crust and one of the more perfect edge-to-edge interiors we’ve ever seen in a steak. Keep this place in mind for parent birthdays or giving out-of-towners some exceptional protein with a lovely view. " - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

"Since its 2009 opening, this upscale steakhouse from Starr Restaurants – Pastis, LeZoo, and El Vez operators – has remained packed ‘round the clock. Its setting is swanky, with a massive jellyfish wall and ocean views front and center. For those seeking the likes of king crab, caviar, and steak selections spanning dry-aged ribeye to wagyu filet mignon, you’ll always find it here." - Jesse Scott

"The best steakhouse on Fort Lauderdale Beach goes to this modern gem led by chef Matthew Kreider. Highlights include a fine caviar service, a totally lux cheesesteak (with truffled cheese wiz-topped wagyu), and an extensive selection of wagyu cuts. And with the beach literally across the street and a massive jellyfish tank inside, the vistas aren’t too shabby, either." - Jesse Scott

"Under one roof, there’s a wall-length jellyfish tank, panoramic ocean vistas, and a menu boasting caviar service, an American wagyu cheesesteak, and a 50-ounce prime tomahawk? Yes, Steak 954 is real and remains an oceanfront must for bringing a big appetite. Save some room for its raw bar offerings — Maine lobster, Alaskan king crab, and oysters — too." - Jesse Scott
