Steak Market

"Steak Market’s over-the-tabletop experience starts with $40 valet parking, a step-and-repeat, and the quintessential clubstaurant bouncer. If your date isn’t moved by all the extraness at the Midtown hotspot, take them inside to see towering aquariums, a perfectly lit wall of liquor bottles, and glass showcases of beef. The juicy Wagyu striploin, dramatically sliced tableside, goes wonderfully with the shareable broccolini and lobster mac. Just about everything here comes with big flavor and bigger price tags—including that ridiculous order of cotton candy ($85) sitting on top of a mannequin's head like Marge Simpson." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams

"There’s a part of Atlanta that wants to be South Beach soooo bad. Now, when we say “part,” we’re specifically talking about the corner of Juniper and 5th streets, where Steak Market sits—once occupied by Ludacris’s Straits Restaurant. Steak Market’s over-the-tabletop culinary experience starts with $40 valet parking, a step-and-repeat, and the quintessential clubstaurant bouncer. Once inside, your eyes will dart from glass showcases of beef to a perfectly lit wall of liquor bottles. All the while, though, your nose somehow remains focused on the steaks. The juicy Wagyu striploin, which is dramatically sliced tableside, goes wonderfully with the shareable broccolini and lobster mac. Just about everything here comes with big flavor and bigger price tags—yep, even that ridiculous order of cotton candy ($85) sitting on top of a mannequin's head like Marge Simpson. But hey, when in “Miami,” right? photo credit: Foon Fu" - DeMarco Williams

"Remember that gold leaf-encrusted steak situation headed to Midtown? The 200-seat, multi-level restaurant Steak Market and its members-only cigar lounge officially open on Sunday, August 29, in Midtown. The restaurant is located in the former Simon’s restaurant space on Juniper Street. Beyond its steaks, including one wrapped in gold leaf, the restaurant also serves seafood and raw bar selections, whole racks of lamb, and weekend brunch. As for beverages, expect a vast wine list, cocktails, and the bar offering a collection of 300 varieties of scotch and whiskey. Masks highly suggested." - Beth McKibben

"A three-level steakhouse with a members-only cigar lounge, DJs, and a menu offering gold leaf-encrusted steaks opens in early September on Juniper Street in Midtown. The 200-seat Steak Market, owned by Kemal Karsli (Sivas Hookah Lounge) and Okan Yildirim, takes over the former Simon’s restaurant, which closed last May after just three years there. Simon’s replaced rapper Ludacris’s restaurant Straits before it was renamed to Time Restaurant and Lounge." - Beth McKibben
