RED South Beach

"Diners know to come here for skilled Chef Peter Vauthy’s expansive options. For Thanksgiving, prepare to indulge in all the fixings, centered around an organic brined turkey breast with apple sausage stuffing, whipped potatoes with gravy and cranberry relish, sweet potato fondue, green beans with pine nuts and pancetta, creamed corn, and four cheese mac and cheese. Desserts include apple pie and pumpkin pie. There’s also a to-go menu available for pickup for those wanting to celebrate at home." - Alona Martinez

"Chef/owner Peter Vauthy’s longtime steakhouse kicks off its Miami Spice dinner (available all week, $60) with dishes like wagyu carpaccio, roasted bone marrow, and watermelon salad. Main courses include a slow-roasted lamb shank, crab-stuffed flounder, and sirloin strip with truffled whipped potatoes. For dessert, opt for the blueberry-cream cheesecake, a recipe Chef Peter learned from his grandmother when he was 4 years old." - Alona Martinez

"This South Beach steakhouse has gotten new larger digs but is still best known for serving up steaks with equally impressive sides. Opt for a cut of meat, like the 40-day aged Kansas City bone-in strip with a side of the restaurant’s popular lobster macaroni and cheese or truffle whipped potatoes." - Eater Staff

"The right way to end a great steakhouse dinner is with a cheesecake slice, and this Miami Beach favorite does just that. Red’s rendition of the classic New York cheesecake comes with a citrus graham cracker crust, triple berry compote, Chantilly cream, and raspberry jam." - Alona Martinez

"Red South Beach is a South Of Fifth steakhouse that doesn’t do enough to earn a spot among the top tier of Miami steakhouses. Dinner here isn’t awful. They do solid (if a bit underseasoned) classic steakhouse sides like potatoes au gratin, macaroni and cheese, and creamed spinach. But the bone-in porterhouse is dry, and lacks the punch of meaty flavor one expects from a $100 piece of steak. And the dining room has a dated aesthetic that will make you feel like you’re in a hotel lobby at some point during the early 2010s. It’s not the end of the world if a family member insists on going here, but if you’re trying to plan a protein-heavy special occasion meal, look elsewhere. " - Ryan Pfeffer
