Miami’s Newest Restaurant Openings, June 2025 | Eater Miami

"Housed in a converted Lutheran church with stained glass, arched windows and vaulted ceilings, this steak-and-seafood venue serves seafood towers, steaks and sides, features a prime rib trolley with tableside service, operates as a late-night speakeasy after hours, and offers an upscale membership club with benefits for $800 per quarter." - Laine Doss

First - Giovanna and John are some of the best examples of who you want on your team. They are prime example of your team is just as important as the food you serve. The hospitality and attention was kind and made us feel awesome. Also we really respected and appreciate how aware John was. Always looking out to see what his team needed. The food? Stupid easy recommendation! Anything Giovanna recommends is gold! And as recommended by John, get your steak Pittsburgh style. The seafood tower? So good. I hate to say that my only complaint is that we didn’t order another round. Easy recommendation! Will be back!

I can’t tell you enough about my experience. It was incredible. The whole vibe, the music, the drinks, the food, the energy the outfits. It’s just blew me away. I love the fact that they actually have martinis with the owner’s name Jay on them! Who could’ve not been nicer we even shared his famous cocktail with him!! and if you have a birthday there, which my husband did you get to write on the tablecloth with a magic marker and Jay came over to ride on it as well! everyone comes to sing, desserts were amazing!! I got the prime rib, which I absolutely love prime rib! I love the fact that it’s a restaurant but they also have incredible music and a really cool bar!! all wrapped into one place! they are we think I will tell you is we took an Uber there and we had the hardest time finding the place because it’s actually a church that was converted into a restaurant so we passed it like six times but it’s a big white church with a tiny little door! I would suggest to have valet parking and a sign that says Jays! I think that would be a great idea so that people can see it! Just a suggestion, but now that I found it, I will definitely be going back!! oh, I forgot to mention the bread sorry best bread ever!!

Extremely Disappointing Dining Experience – Won’t Be Returning I had high hopes for Jay’s Steak in Fort Lauderdale, but the food completely missed the mark. I ordered the filet mignon, and it came out overcooked and dry. The prime rib was supposed to be tender and juicy but was well-done and tough—definitely not what you expect from a steakhouse at this price point. To make matters worse, the dessert looked like it had been sitting out for days—definitely not fresh and completely unappetizing. I also requested a blue cheese crust on my steak, but what I got wasn’t even close. It lacked flavor and tasted nothing like blue cheese. The only redeeming qualities were the ambiance, which was nice, and Alex the manager, who was incredibly polite and professional. He did his best, and I appreciate his effort—but unfortunately, the food was so bad that I’ll never be back. With so many great steakhouses in Fort Lauderdale, this just isn’t worth it.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant last night! The atmosphere is beautiful and glamorous, with a live DJ that brought incredible energy to the evening. We sat at the bar, and the service was flawless — every staff member was polite and attentive from the moment we arrived, including the manager who stopped by to check if everything was going well. The bartender, G, was amazing! Everyone at our table loved the creative and delicious drinks he made, and I was especially impressed with the mocktail he crafted just for me — light, refreshing, and full of flavor. To top it all off, I had the lobster risotto, which was absolutely divine — creamy, well-seasoned, and with generous pieces of perfectly cooked lobster. An unforgettable night. I highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back!

My fiance and I were so excited to try out Tomahawk Tuesday and it did not disappoint! The portions were generous and the food and wine was great (he cannot stop raving about that delicious cheesecake). The ambiance was so fun for a date night and we were able to enjoy our romantic evening but without feeling rushed. We even were given a tour to see how they have transformed the space. The sourdough bread was also such a great touch! They have transformed the space into such a cool vibe. Worth the price. We will absolutely be back.

We had an awesome dinner at Jay’s. Portions are plentiful and they are very generous with the lobster. The restaurant is beautiful and was totally packed for early dinner reservation. We had friendly and knowledgeable service from Jailene, who gave us great recommendations. Highlights were the tuna crispy rice, bone marrow, lobster oreganata, lamb chop lollipops, seabass, radiatori and lobster macaroni. And let’s not forget their chocolate cake! We will definitely be back soon!

Such a gorgeous place, very elegant and stylish with live DJ and saxophone. We asked our bartender to make us a creative drink with something spicy. The result was amazing! The burger that we ordered was presented beautifully and cooked to perfection. Highly recommended!

Ladies night and thrilled with everything, on HH & main menu! Service all around fantastic- Guilherme at one of several bars was perfectly attentive and a great bartender for our drinks, bites, and several dishes- all would order again- esp the grilled cheese bites & steak- excellent. Alex was also very welcoming- so fun to have thriving bars, full tables, live sax & DJ on a Thursday night! Dapper attire with friendly smiles all around the bars- beautifully designed with interior as well as space around tables- comfy booths and comfy bar seats!

The food was absolutely incredible. The spicy rigatoni was to die for. Steaks were amazing. Lobster mac and cheese, duck fat potato wedges, crispy tuna rica. 10/10. Even the starter bread was so soft and warm with great flavor. (Really good to dip in left over pasta sauce) Everyone was very nice and it felt like everyone was super happy in there. The manager stopped by multiple times to check on us and was so kind. Restaurant is gorgeous. Only thing is, it was a little loud. Really really recommend.

Jay's used to be a church, and what they've done with the place is nothing short of spectacular! The transformation is jaw-dropping-think stained glass meets steakhouse chic. It's the kind of spot that makes you say wow the moment you walk in. We went for happy hour (which is a must!) especially on Thursdays when girls drink free all day. Pro tip: arrive right when the doors open if you want to snag a seat at the bar. This place fills up fast and for good reason. Every staff member we encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You can feel the vibe shift into something electric as the evening picks up. It's definitely become the new hotspot in town, and we're already planning our next visit.

If you are looking for beautiful and fun environment for a night time lounge/dinner outing this is the place to be, to go solely for the food would not suffice. I originally found this spot through Dine out Fort Lauderdale posts for a special menu. Coming into this experience excited but left disappointed with the quality of food served from this menu. I can't imagine the quality is the same for their main menu but I am intrigued to find out. I had the caesar salad as a starter, the prime rib as an entree and the key lime pie as a dessert. The prime rib I ordered was meant to be medium well but was served to me almost rare, to where it had to be returned. I then was asked what I wanted in exchange and ordered the Radiatori Pasta, which was spicy and delicious. The service from arrival to end was also attentive but seems that they are quite busy so there can be longer wait times for food and drinks. Overall, this establishment is vibey and worth it for just a night out with some apps and drinks. I will need to come back again to try the full menu which maybe offers a different experience as far as cuisine.

5 stars- atmosphere 3 stars- service 4.5 stars- drinks 2 stars- food I usually don't rate these things individually, but I had a hard time figuring out what to rate this restaurant. I have been here twice now. I wasn't too impressed the first time. Tonight didn't help. The atmosphere of this restaurant is really nice. The north side feels very upscale. I was here a week ago for a birthday dinner. I had a glass of Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon. This was very good. I ordered the prime rib trolley, as did several others at our table. The prime rib looked real good. It was cooked just right for me. When I ate it, I did not think it had much flavor. Those of us who ordered this thought it was bland. The creamed spinach was ok. The potatoes were tasty. Someone at the table ordered steak frites and he said it was pretty good. He did eat it all. Thursday, I met a couple friends for Ladies Night. We sat at the bar. I wanted to try their burger.I asked for plain fries. Theirs are advertised with duck fat. I did not want that on my fries but unfortunately that is all they serve. No plain fries. It was kind of sad to eat this lonely burger. I wasn't too hungry so I figured it would be enough. It turned out I did not eat much of it at all. The burger was served luke warm. The bacon was meh. No ketchup and mustard served with it. I usually do not add these when I am at a fine dining restaurant but this burger had very, very little flavor. After several minutes, I asked a random server for these because the bartenders were busy. Unfortunately, the ketchup and mustard did not help. I actually got a cheeseburger on the way home from BK. Anyway, the bright side was my lemon drop martinis were excellent. I would probably come back here only for that. The dirty martini was not good. Neither was the olive.

We decided to do ladies night at Jays on a Thursday night. Their ladies night deal is ladies drink free with the purchase of a food item at the bar. You must be able to sit at the bar in order to be serviced, so be sure to get there early to grab seats, all three bars were really crowded. We tried a few items from their happy hour menu and also from the regular menu. The food was certainly good so I am definitely looking forward to coming back for dinner. The service at the bar was a bit slow, I think they need more people for such busy nights, but the staff was friendly and doing their best to keep our glasses filled. Overall I'd says it's a fun spot with good drinks and delicious food.

I had been to this location under another restaurant and really enjoyed, so when we saw a new place had opened, we immediately wanted to try it. It also helped that TikTok was all over it, and now I know why. We made reservations for Saturday night. As soon as we arrived our table was ready. The setup is great! Middle bar, great for those who just want to go for a drink and have a more casual night. There were some more private areas, and we sat on the "main room" where the DJ was playing. There was another small bar in this room and the beautiful glass windows add to the romantic vibe. We were also told that there are nights with a live violin or a live saxophone. Let's start with service. We had someone come and take our drinks menu, and she started working on them quick at the bar area. Then almost instantly our server came, Guillherme. Friendly, helpful, just excellent. He made great recommendations, kept coming back to make sure our glasses were full and that we had everything we wanted and needed, but loved that he also knew when we were mid-conversation and just walked around our table looking for the right time to approach us. 5 stars! Food was great too! Starting with the sourdough bread, warm and delicious. The crispy tuna appetizer was amazing. And the filet mignon was cooked perfectly to order. The lobster risotto was a bit salty for my taste but I'm sure others would appreciate that. To finish we had the baked Alaska, which is beautiful, and sure to bring a smile to everyone on the table when seeing it come to you. The DJ as mentioned, played the entire time we were there but appreciated it not being too loud, so everyone is able to have comfortable conversations and not have to shout the orders. We are already planning to come back with some other friends and hope Jay's in here to stay!

I came to Jay's in Fort Lauderdale last Thursday for their Ladies Night and it was everything I didn't know I needed. Every Thursday from 5 PM to close, they offer free drinks with any food item, and let me tell you, the food alone is worth the visit. I ordered the chargrilled Oysters Rockefeller, and I honestly haven't stopped thinking about them since. They were 10 out of 10. Easily some of the best oysters I've ever had. They're baked East Coast oysters topped with bacon, leaf spinach, cream, and a Parmesan Reggiano crust. Rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. For drinks, I had a lemon drop and a French 75. Both were really good, but to be honest, I came back for the oysters. I couldn't even wait until the next Ladies Night. I came back the following Wednesday because I was craving them so bad. Eugene was great. He made us different flavored shots and really helped make it a fun girls' night out.I smiled ear to ear when I walked in and saw him. I know I wanted him to be my bartender again and he remembered me which was even better. Who doesn't love an attentive bar tender. Also had a chance to speak to the assistant manager, John and he was a really cool down-to-earth guy from Maryland like me so I enjoyed that connection and he explained how fresh their oysters are. The oysters are lucky duck oysters and like I said, I definitely recommend. They are a must try. The atmosphere at Jay's is beautiful. The music is just right and the space has a really nice vibe. It's perfect for a date night, dinner with friends, or even a birthday dinner or special occasion. It's the kind of place where you can come for a laid-back happy hour or get dressed up for something a little more special. A really good mix. If you're in the Fort Lauderdale area, I definitely recommend checking out Jay's on a Thursday night. Good drinks, great people, and food that will have you coming back. PLEASE look out for Eugene he is extremely attentive and mixed for drinks

We had a fantastic date night at Jay's. From outside it seemed kind of dead but as soon as we stepped inside it was lively and exciting. The hostesses were a bit off putting and that's my only criticism. Service wise, amazing. Our server was personable, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. It is inside of a beautiful old church. The bar was impressive and liquor selection is extensive. The complimentary bread is a big fluffy thymey soft and crispy delicious treat. They nailed the wedge salad with chunky blue cheese and thick bojuie bacon. The reason I picked this spot though is for one thing. Prime rib cart. This prime rib was actually perfect. Soft rich fat with buttery pink meat, crunchy on the ends and dusted in Montreal seasoning. People were getting ginormous Kings cuts and bringing half home. I got just the basic city cut and it was enough and then some. You can certainly ball out here but if you want a really good upscale steak house meal, you can make it work. Will definitely be back and I hope Jay's can maintain this level of satiety for the years to come. Well done Jay!

Took some coworkers here for dinner the other night and had amazing meal. Saw a video on instagram that there prime rib service was inspired by house of prime rib in San Francisco and knew I had to check it out, so when my colleagues said they wanted prime rib I knew exactly where I needed to go. Started our meal off with oysters, bone marrow and the lamb chop appetizer which were all great. We all did the king cut prime rib for our entrees and were not disappointed. Don't know if it was better the House of Prime Rib but it's the closest I've found anywhere. Service was great throughout the meal. Vibe was very energetic and this seems like the place to be. Would definitely return! 10/10

Lobster Oreganata, Roasted beet and goat cheese salad, bread for the table, lobster macaroni, tuna crispy rice, and cheesecake. Everything tasted great. My favorite was the lobster oreganata. I loved our waitress, the service, the presentation, and decor. John stopped by our table and made me a wonderful mocktail. 1000 percent would come again.

With so many new and established steak houses in town, Jay's needs to step it up if they want to survive. We walked in without a reservation and although the hostess told us there was no problem to sit at a bar high top, the service was still riddled with hiccups. Wait times, attention to detail, and overall responsiveness. We ordered drinks after a few minutes and watched as the drinks sat on the bar for 10 minutes before making their way to our table. Food: We shared a filet, Dauphinois potatoes, lobster oreganato appetizer and a vodka pasta dish. Filet was pretty standard. The potatoes were very undercooked. The lobster was fishy tasting, freezer burnt and not prepared in a traditional oreganato manner. Pasta a poor choice, sauce was subpar (error on our part). The manager stopped over to check on us and he noticed the potatoes were not touched. We told him they were undercooked and he offered to take off our bill. Needless to say, he forgot. We will not be back. Too many other options in this town that consistently deliver much better quality at the same price. Pros: There was a DJ with a live sax player performing; Nice ambiance.

Got invited to Jays for my birthday dinner and loved it. This is your time to dress up and fine dine. Loved the remodeling the did, this space used to be Holy Blue that closed but originally it was a church. They practically have three spaces and three bars. An outside patio area, the main dining room area with a bar and the nightlife area which is dimmer and darker with chandeliers and beautiful stained windows. It is also where the DJ is placed. The food: They had a bread service, complimentary bread that had somewhat an herb seasoning on top, and even though the outside was crunchy hard, the inside was warm and soft, so good. We ordered a seafood tower for two. Honestly, it could have fed four people, it was a lot, but we ate it all. It came with caviar, tuna tartar, blue crab, lobster, oysters, shrimp, it was delicious and fresh. We also shared a 72-ounce Rib Eye that was great and cooked perfectly. We ordered the tasting salt to dip the meat in; my fave was the truffle salt. For a side, we had the pomme potatoes which are like scalloped potatoes and that did not disappoint, It was cheesy and good. The staff was incredible and on point, however the fun part was when the owner, Jay stopped by to introduce himself. He took out a Sharpie and signed "Happy Birthday" on the table, then the rest of the staff came and signed it as well. Before I left, they wrapped up the tablecloth and gave it to me as a memory, now I have a new tablecloth at home lol! That was a cute personable touch to the dining experience. Jay also gave me a dessert platter that had three desserts; a thick and creamy cheesecake, a homemade pudding and a dark chocolate mousse cake. All three were amazing, I really can't tell you which one is better, it all depends on what you like. This is the place to go to for a celebration dinner or just because you want to have a great meal with admirable service. There is a small parking lot on the side but if not, street parking is available across the street. PRO TIP: Ladies drink free on Thursdays.

A beautiful space in a deconsecrated church, beautifully transformed. Service was really attentive and friendly Our steaks were tender and perfectly cooked. Sides of roasted carrots, creamed spinach, duck fat fries were delicious The wine list is thorough, but definitely on the pricey side Favorite things: many restaurants are after a mix of disco and supper club vibe. Jays carries it off well. The DJ kept a soft beat that complimented the evening, at an appropriate sound level. A guitarist added rich highlights to the atmosphere A very enjoyable evening

Went in for happy hour. The restaurant is so cute inside with the stained glass windows and modern velvet chairs. They have an amazing happy hour with $5-7 vodka cocktails and food under $15. We also had the lobster oreganatta the bartender suggested. It was SO good. Will be back for ladies night. On Thursdays women drink for free with the purchase of food!

Exceptional food quality and just a flat out beautiful restaurant. I had been here when it was Hollyblue and enjoyed it as well except for one difference: the music level. I went on a Thursday and found that the elevated music was distracting from the overall experience. Most people were shouting to communicate and it tarnished the upscale feel of the restaurant. I had a wonderful waitress that was friendly and informed what we shoud get and what might be a second choice. They have a wonderful cocktail and wine list and they mean business. I had the Dine Out menu and thought it was a good choice for me, modified wedge salad, radiatori pasta (spicy but so good), and finished with the key lime pie (rich & tart.) Street parking at this location, I did not see a valet when I went but I'm sure that on weekends there will be some type of service there. If you want an elevated experience this will be your choice, call to see if there might be nights where it is more dinner focused instead of more social circle, unless of course you want that. Plush.

We came here on Thursday night for the all day ladies drink free happy hour, and everything we had on the menu was delicious, shrimp tempura, and cheese bites were my main, and everyone else tried the other happy hour items and enjoyed them. We also ate the Rockefeller oysters (not happy hour) which were so tasty. The service was a bit slow but only because the bar was PACKED. Their service was still kind, and all staff treated everyone well from what I saw. Eugene got us right with the drinks and shots for our party, and we basically closed out the bar. Had a great night. The manager John is pleasant also, checked in on us throughout the night and kept his cool throughout the hectic night. Though it was very busy, it was a great vibe, enjoyed the music and the people we met. I'm here now for the second time in about a week. Jaylene was my bartender this second time around and she was great also, and Gene was also wonderful.

Everything we tried at the soft opening was delicious . The place had a very fun vibe for a steak house . Entertainment was fire dancers and dj. and they offered plenty of different craft cocktails. I'm excited to see this place open as a full blown restaurant. They had a super yummy chocolate mousse desert that I will go back for!

Jay's did not live up to the hype, and my friend and I who are longtime locals who enjoy fine dining were quite disappointed. We went with high hopes, having been to the same space when it was Holly blue. It's still a beautiful space. There's no question about that. And on the plus side, they've turned the music down to where it still creates a fun vibe, but you can actually talk without a megaphone. We went in with high hopes to try it out for the first time, lord, in part by their very attractively priced Tomahawk Tuesday, $125 for two. Flemmings has done this and runs at year round. Flemming does it right, recognizing the Tuesdays is a slower night than most of the other six days of the week. They also recognize the people may want to try a restaurant out this way, since both of them run at least that much per person when you order off the regular menu. Flemmings gives you incredibly high-quality and very generous, full-size portions of the sides, salads, and desserts that come with this. Jay's on the other hand, serve you an airline size salad, dinky, side, portions, and desserts, and while their Tomahawk is listed as the same size and may well be, it is not good. It was tough and had a ton of fat on it. Tropical Acres steaks are better at a fraction of the price and this stake which normally goes for $200 and a sized 10 ounces larger was more the quality that you would find at an outback. In other words, edible but not prime beef and not delicious. All in all we felt like second class citizens ordering this. From my point of view, that's a wasted opportunity for a restaurant that should recognize that this is a Tuesday in July, and that people like us, had we had the same experience as Flemings gave us, would be back with friends over and over, and ordering the various other items on the menu , probably on a weekend. Also, no one cleared the salad plates when someone brought out the main course and sides, and no one corrected that for nearly 5 minutes. Any longer and we would've sent this whole thing back. On another note, on the regular menu, they feature prime rib served from a rather grand silver trolley , like a fine London hotel, famous for that. We inquired about it, and we're told that the big roast that we saw being carved two tables away, has no bone in it. Another missed opportunity and mistake, in this writers opinion. All in all, this is just the latest entry in the single, most crowded field in all of upscale, dining, the steakhouse. Fort Lauderdale has a bunch of them, including Daniel's, which we have yet to try and which from a marketing standpoint seems to be going head-to-head with this place . Catch and cut, which also opened recently, was a better experience on every level than this restaurant. Chima and Fogo de Chao offer at least as nice in atmosphere, better food, and a far better value than even this attempt at a bargain. My advice to this place, but frankly more importantly to Daniel's, is if you're gonna bother to offer a promotional menu, either treat the customers who order it as well and as generously as you would treat anyone, or expect them to assume that that's just the way the restaurant is. Which means, in short, don't bother. Because it will backfire. If you can deliver a great steak, accurately prepared with good generous sides, I guarantee you people will come back wanting more.

A friend of mine made a reservation for 7 for a surprise birthday dinner. Everything's started out well but there were some issues. We started off with drinks which were the Jay's Signature Espresso Martini & Easy Street. The espresso martini was balanced well & you could definitely taste the tequila. The Easy Street was very refreshing & also well balanced. We ordered duck fat potato wedges & crispy tuna rice as apps which were both really good. Unfortunately, we had to ask for the complimentary bread 3 times while other tables got theirs right away. We ended up getting it packaged to go since bu the time it came out we were already done eating our entrees. The bread looked amazing which is why I was so upset we had to ask for it multiple times and didn't get to enjoy it fresh. For entrees we ordered 2 pastas, 3 steaks & 1 risotto. I ordered the radiatore allá vodka with spicy Italian sausage for a surcharge. When the dish came out I didn't see the additional sausage so I asked our server who informed me it was there. I didn't see it, but didn't make a fuss and accepted her response. She came back a few minutes later to clarify that they had sold out of the spicy Italian sausage and confirmed it wasn't in the pasta and had been removed from the bill. A little confusing but no big deal. When we received the bill the surcharge for the sausage was still there and we had to wait a few additional minutes for it to get removed but the server was apologetic for the mistake. My friend who ordered the risotto ended up sending it back noting that it was very dry. The steaks all came out as expected and to everyone's liking. The peppercorn sauce was great with the filet. We ordered one side that didn't come, but we weren't charged for it so no harm, no foul. The best part of the dinner was when we celebrated the birthday. Our server brought out the cake with a few other staff members & the table sang happy birthday. One of the servers stamped the table cloth next to the cake with the Jay's logo & then gave us a sharpie for us all to sign the table cloth. It was a really nice touch & something I hadn't seen before. We all had fun with it. They do let you take the signed/stamped table cloth if you want. The cake cutting fee was $35 and gratuity wasn't included. The music was a little on the loud side but that could've also been our perception because we were at a large round table. I didn't have any issues speaking with the people directly next to me. Overall I would definitely go back to give the service a second chance because the drinks, food, decor, and friendliness of the staff were all enjoyable.

After hearing about Jay's opening, we decided to try it. It has only been open for five days! Got there at 5:00 pm when they opened, parking was easy, on the street, right in front. I didn't see valet parking. Upon entering, the vibe was good, music was lively and we were seated. Seating was comfortable. Started with the bread which tasted unexpectedly great! Our server was attentive, didn't rush us, and we really enjoyed the meal. A place we would go back to.

Interesting place! Fun decor and amazing music. So unexpected. The saxophonist was so good! Came for happy hour and stayed for the steak. Service and food were great. A little pricy but worth it. Will definitely come back. Hopefully they will still have the saxophone player!

The Tuesday Tomahawk night is the best thing they have going. 40 oz steak, 2 salads, 2 sides and 2 desserts for $125! They seemed to have a shortage of staff- took a long time to get the food. HOWEVER, food was great- perfectly cooked steak. You need to pay for self parking- no valet.

This is a newly opened "modern steakhouse & late-night destination landmark". I can see their vision and what they are attempting to do with this space, but as of now, they fall well short. The design and decor of the former church turned restaurant/night club is stunning, however the layout is a little clunky. Perhaps they tried to separate all the spaces but it just feels like we were in three different places. We dined in the quiet dining room, went into another room which served as the bar, and finally made our way into the entertainment area, which also served as an additional eating area. The food service was a bit slow as there was quite a bit of time between our appetizers and main course. The complimentary bread was delicious and perhaps the highlight of the night. For our appetizer we had the wagyu tartare. It was a bit underwhelming. I had the ribeye and the flight of dipping salts as my main course. For a steakhouse, I was not impressed with the quality of the steak or the cook. My wife and I shared the Paccheri. It tasted like an average pesto pasta, nothing special or anything we'd order again. My wife ordered this dish based on the presentation on Instagram. Let's just say this presentation wasn't instagram worthy.

Wow. What a beautiful transformation from an old church to what it is now. Staff was great and the food was cooked perfect. My only complaint was the prices. $250 for two people with no alcohol is quite steep. People are struggling with higher tariffs so lower the prices a little bit and customers can afford to come back over and over

Was very excited to come in and try Jay's for the first time! Haven't been since it used to be Holly Blue, and i remember the food at Holly Blue was amazing! Me and my best friend sat at the bar ready for Tomahawk Tuesday, which seemed like a pretty good deal. We order two cocktails and advised the bartender we'd need a couple minutes to decide on food. When we were ready to order the bartender informed us that they were already out of tomahawks at 8pm. Sad to say I will not be returning, as i did not feel the hospitality or ambiance was worth it. Good luck to them!

First time at Jays and won't be my last. The place is beautiful and the vibe was great. I had the best burger I've had in a while and the tempura shrimp was amazing. My server Kristy did good recommending me these plates. She was very sweet and was attentive making sure I was good.

We had an awesome dinner at Jay's. Portions are plentiful and they are very generous with the lobster. The restaurant is beautiful and was totally packed for early dinner reservation. We had friendly and knowledgeable service from Jailene, who gave us great recommendations. Highlights were the tuna crispy rice, bone marrow, lobster oreganata, lamb chop lollipops, seabass, radiatori and lobster macaroni. And let's not forget their chocolate cake! We will definitely be back soon!

Went here for tomahawk Tuesday, terrible experience. As I was walking in the hostess promptly asked me to take off my hat for the dress code, which I'd normally have no problem with except when I get in the dining room I see two women with floppy beach hats and a guy in a cowboy hat. Then we sit down order drinks and after getting them we try to order their Tuesday special, OUT OF IT, at 8pm. Asked for the check and left. Waste of time. Go to Flemmings.... Same tomahawk special!!!!

Ladies night and thrilled with everything, on HH & main menu! Service all around fantastic- Guilherme at one of several bars was perfectly attentive and a great bartender for our drinks, bites, and several dishes- all would order again- esp the grilled cheese bites & steak- excellent. Alex was also very welcoming- so fun to have thriving bars, full tables, live sax & DJ on a Thursday night! Dapper attire with friendly smiles all around the bars- beautifully designed with interior as well as space around tables- comfy booths and comfy bar seats!

I was very excited to try out this restaurant, the location and venue are so beautiful and I expected a modern steakhouse to fit right now. The ambiance did not disappoint and the service was pretty great as well. However, the three stars is because of the food and drink. Everything was very mediocre. I ordered a dirty martini and had to send it back because the bartender used sweet vermouth instead of dry. When the drink came back, it was simply the same drink with additional olive juice. This was the first red flag. Then when the food came out, everything seemed very under seasoned. The menu contains specialty salts and toppings for a steak and if our party had been notified that there were no other seasonings on the steaks, I would have ordered an "add on". I did not - and was very disappointed. We ordered the lobster mac and cheese which was also a let down. Too much cream, not enough cheese in the sauce and again grossly under seasoned. All in all, we likely won't go back. There are too many other steakhouses in the area, the considerate staff doesn't make up for the total lack of seasoning of the mediocre food and very average menu.

We typically do not drive to Fort Lauderdale for a meal, but Jay's came so very well recommended that we decided to take a chance. The hour battling highway 95 was absolutely worth it! The place is interesting and polished, and inside an old church. The team is incredibly well trained and understands what the menu is all about. Drinks and wines were great. Appetizer like the Tuna Crispy Rice were wonderful as well as the fresh shucked oysters - hard to find them so fresh and so large these days! The steaks were the stars of the evening: filet mignons to rave about and a prime rib served via a cart brought to the table that was simply insane. Accompaniments were delicious and served at their proper temperature - I know it should picky but too many kitchens send out food that is lukewarm. Finally the gigantic prawns - these were in themselves worth the visit - beautifully seasoned and prepared sautéed, they were plump and so fresh. Desserts and coffees were delicious and presented as they should - like a final bow upon a perfect and beautiful package. Bravo Jay, FtL needs a place like yours!
