Brooklyn Chop House Steakhouse Miami — Local services in Miami

Last night, we attended the grand opening of the new Brooklyn Chop House in Wynwood. The design, the atmosphere, and the overall vibe were excellent — everything started with that signature New York energy. Unfortunately, the rhythm quickly fell apart. After appetizers, we waited nearly 30 minutes for the main courses. When they finally arrived, only two dishes were served — for one of five guests. The rest came 20 minutes later, after we complained. The chef personally came to apologize and brought a whole $120 Peking duck as a goodwill gesture — a generous move, but the evening was already ruined. Empty beer bottles and glasses stayed untouched on the table, while the server tried to take away a plate that still had food on it — a clear sign of lost coordination between the kitchen and the floor team. As someone who works closely with restaurants and hospitality brands, I understand that a grand opening is always a stressful moment when a team is still finding its rhythm. But — the key point — the guest should never feel it. In hospitality, the first night isn’t a rehearsal, it’s an impression that defines your reputation. Delays in the kitchen, inconsistent timing, or partial order delivery are unforgivable from a professional standpoint. Ideally, a manager should step in after 10 minutes of delay — not after a complaint. Brooklyn Chop House is a brand built on the fusion of Asian fine dining and New York steakhouse culture — a mix that demands prestige and consistency. That’s why even a single failure of this kind hurts the perception of the brand in a new city — especially in Miami, where the audience is demanding and the competition is fierce (think Sparrow Italia, Sunny’s Steakhouse, Mila, Casa Neos, Ocean Prime, Jaya, Uchi, Hiyakawa…). Here, the first impression is currency — and once you lose it, earning it back costs ten times more. I truly hope the team learns from this experience. The concept and design have real potential — they just need the...

me and my friends were there on the grand opening night. we live near by and wanna to show some support. once we walk in the security guard at the lobby was very unfriendly almost hostile to all of us…. it is already make us doesn’t like this place before we even get inside the restaurant. after we get to our seat and ordered our food. it took around 40 minutes to serve the first dish. i ordered a second drink and waited for more than 45 minutes to come. by the time my second drink served, we are about to leave so I didn’t even get to drink any of the it. I told the waiter about this long waiting time instead of tell me he can cancel the drink on my bill since I didn’t even drink any of it because we need to leave, but they didn’t say anything. finally, after we’re waiting for almost 1 hour the main course was served we ordered Peking duck. After they serve the duck approximately 30 minute, no one was even moving the cart away. It was blocking the way behind me. it was really uncomfortable because it was blocking the area where people pass by me and I have to move myself around for it…… until I asked someone to move it away and finally they realize….it was there for almost 30 minute. overall, it was a really terrible experience plus the food was overpriced. Based on their service was really awful. The bald and tall security guard downstairs was extremely disrespectful….almost make us feel like he does not want people to come in…. The bill was more than $500 and I felt like it was extremely not worthy based on their service… The first impression was really important and I don’t think I will ever go back to that place ever again and I don’t think I would recommend any of my friends to go back there ever. there are so many good restaurant in Miami if you cannot make your service right don’t open...

I attended their opening night (private) dinner on 11.6.25 & it was amazing! Literally, every course & dish was phenomenal!

The Peking duck is standout -- you don't get that quality of duck, seasoning or preparation outside of Chinatown in NYC or San Francisco.

The Wagyu beef & tuna carpaccios (2 separate dishes) were amazing -- bright, clean, tender & delicious.

The satays are world famous so no comment needed for them. 😋

The dim sum (dumplings & bao buns) were 12/10 perfect.

The maki rolls (spicy tuna & yellowtail (separate)) were top notch -- Nobu, Zuma, Novikov plus quality & freshness.

The Wagyu filet was amazing -- highest quality beef that is seasoned & cooked to perfection; served with pineapple fried rice, low mein/noodles, the best Parmigiano truffle fries you can get (think top notch French bistro or even Thomas Keller level), monster steamed asparagus & a whole bunch of other sides.

Everything is delicious, fresh, clean & even healthy if you navigate accordingly. I didn't stay for dessert but everything I saw coming out looked amazing (especially the cheesecake).

You cannot go wrong here so get ready for 1 of the best meals & experiences that you'll have in MIA, especially on the Miami (not Beach) side of town. Fun fine dining has finally come to Wynwood!

Congratulations Stratis, Don & Team -- awesome job & much needed in the MIA food scene.

As they just opened, please be patient with their very attentive staff -- they'll turn your meal into an experience.

And after dinner, head upstairs to CC's for drinks, a cigar, beautiful views & people watching from the rooftop deck of the Moxy Hotel.

5 stars...
