Nusr-Et Steakhouse — Restaurant in Miami

Overhyped and very underwhelming. I feel like those giving Nusr-Et Steakhouse 5 stars are helping with the development of Fool's Paradise where places like Nusr-Et Steakhouse will have the prime location. This place asks much of you but falls incredibly short on delivering on their side of the deal. Some reviewers are suggesting that if you give this place low reviews you just can’t afford it. That is the most illogical argument I have heard. You can certainly afford something and still recognize that what you get is not a good value proposition.This is clear here.

We were in town for the Super Bowl and during that time we enjoyed many of the fine restaurants in the area. I would expect that the experience at Nusr-Et Steakhouse would stand above all and the flavors of the food in my memory forever, but it was in fact the most average falling far too short of what the expectations they set.

The Wait. Amature hour. Our reservation was for 10:30 yet we did not get seated until 12:15 AM, and then we felt like we were being rushed. Nusr-Et Steakhouse does not understand their own table turnovers or crowd and therefore are unable to target reservations with any hint of moderate accuracy. Never have I had reservations at a place and had to wait so long past the reserved time, especially at a high-end place like this. You think they would at least offer some snacks, water or update you - they don’t. Their thinking is that you should feel lucky to even be there, so you all can wait.

The Drinks. I don’t mind paying a premium for quality drinks, but again, I don’t like feeling like I am being taken for a ride. Why are the drinks $30 for 1.5 ozs of Vodka and some mixers? I could see if they used some super high end Vodka made with melted glaciers but they don’t. The bartenders make a nice drink but nothing that special. I have been places where they literally chop the ice off a block, shave and shape for your glass, and then use the best spirits and fresh grown botanicals to mix amazing unique drinks with real bartender flair, and they were not $30. Also, $13 for a Corona? lol.

The Food Disappointed. My first thought was “really? this is it? Seriously, out of all the restaurants we tried during our time in Miami, Nusr-Et was my least favorite. We got the Tenderloin for 3, some sides, and dessert. FIrst they brought the tenderloin out and then cut it into thin slices. They then throw it on a hot plate loaded with some salty butter mix. While the meat sits they shove bread on the plate and let that bread soak up the salty butter. When it is finished they salt everything. There is no sear on the meat, no natural juices trapped within, no flavor to crave, and many bites were much too salty to be enjoyed. The portion was also a joke for what they asked. The sides were nothing bad or exceptional. I actually had Truffle Mashed at another restaurant and those destroyed the mashed at Nusr-Et. Also, there were 2 servers doing the tableside “show” and they were arguing/ordering back and forth the entire time - really nice.

The Show I heard much about the show. Spoiler alert! Here it is - they take 20 seconds to slice meat at your table then they salt it. Oh Wow! Make sure to film it so you don’t forget what it looks like to slice meat! Maybe you can study the video so you can go home and try slicing something!

Give me a break! You would save more time and lose less by being pick pocketed in the streets. The low reviews...

I'm on vacation from the Midwest. I've been in the hospitality industry for decades. My experience was over the top fantastic. Luis, my server, was very generous with his time and gave me a restaurant tour. Beautiful building. Unmatched ambiance. Very high ceilings. I loved the meat hook lights hanging from the rafters. The bartender, hostesses, bussers sommelier, managers, every single employee on shift that night, was absolutely wonderful, kind, and on point. They made me feel very welcome, and although a table of one, I still was as good as any. The crab two ways was delicious. The beef carpaccio was just out of this world. I've never had it before. I've seen the menu online long before I came, and I knew exactly what I wanted. After the appetizers, I had the 7oz american wagyu filet and the lobster Mac and cheese. I live in beef country. I've also had japanese A5 wagyu. American wagyu at Nusrit restaurant was to die for. I ordered a few cocktails. Quite frankly, a cocktail at Nusrit miami is only $5 more than a cocktail downtown where I'm from. BEST PINA COLADA I've ever had. And I used to be a bartender for 15 years. I had to finish with a piece of Turkish Baklava adorned with goat milk ICE CREAM. Yes, GOAT milk. I've been eating Baklava all my life. As a matter of fact, I often get my Bakalva from a very fancy place from Amman/Jordan. Never have I had a Baklava that good. And never with ice cream, let alone goat milk ice cream. I didn't even know that goat milk ice cream was a thing. Enjoyed my dessert with the creamiest double shot of espresso. Just absolutely heavenly. All of it. I've seen the videos. The tiktoks. The hype. And now I've finally seen for myself. Miami is a late night city. Restaurant was bare when I got there at 715pm on a Monday night. By the time I left around 10pm, It was full and buzzing with energy. Yes, it's expensive. For sure, it's worth it. 18 months I've been planning my trip. 18 months ago, I knew I wanted to eat at Nusrit in Miami. And it was AMAZING. And holy crap, Miami has a ton of beautiful...

I recently had the unfortunate experience of dining at Nusr-Et Steakhouse Miami, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of a culinary catastrophe. For a whopping $300, I expected a steak that would transport me to carnivorous heaven, but instead, I found myself in a overcooked nightmare.

Firstly, let's talk about the ambiance. The dim lighting and faux-leather seats tried to create an upscale atmosphere, but the overall vibe screamed more "budget motel" than "luxury steakhouse." It felt like a failed attempt at sophistication.

Now, onto the main event—the steak. I ordered the chef's special, thinking it would be the highlight of the evening. Unfortunately, what arrived at my table can only be described as a charcoal briquette disguised as a steak. The chef must have mistaken my request for medium-rare as a plea for a leather boot sole, because that's exactly what I got.

As I struggled to saw through the tough exterior with the provided butter knife, I couldn't help but wonder if I was being pranked. The overcooked, flavorless slab of meat left me longing for the days of backyard barbecues where the grill master actually knew what they were doing.

To add insult to injury, the sides were lackluster at best. The mashed potatoes were as bland as the steak was tough, and the vegetable medley seemed to have been cooked hours before and reheated to a sad, soggy state.

Service wasn't much of a saving grace either. The staff seemed indifferent to my disappointment, and it took an eternity for anyone to acknowledge my concerns. It was as if they had perfected the art of ignoring customer dissatisfaction.

In conclusion, Nusr-Et Steakhouse Miami is an establishment that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. The exorbitant price tag only adds insult to injury when you're served a steak that could double as a hockey puck. Save your money, save your taste buds, and steer clear of this culinary disaster. There are far better steakhouse options out there that won't leave you feeling like you've...
