    We went on a weekday evening. The place was packed (I think they had tables set up in the hallways!). We had reservations and were seated promptly upon arrival. We chose to sit outside and enjoyed the experience. The wine list, as one would expect, has lots of reds and we chose a Meritage for our meal. Our wine order was promptly taken and after we started our wine, our dinner order was taken. Service was friendly, efficient (but not rushed) and provided helpful warnings about the portion size. The shrimp cocktail is ordered by the shrimp. The shrimp are huge and firm. Two is more than enough for a person. We enjoyed our steaks and sides including the brussels sprouts-pancetta side dish. Side dishes are intended for sharing. Notwithstanding the fact that we were stuffed, were intrigued by and couldn't resist the fried Oreo dessert (a classic).

    The food is so good here that it nearly compensates completely for the 'bad even by South Beach standards' service. I settled on a 4, the food is 6 stars and the service is 3. But still, worth enduring the pain of lackluster service (at best) for the most mouth-watering, cut-it-with-a-fork, angels-were-singing-around-me-even-though-it-came-­cold-to-the-table bone-in ribeye I have ever tasted. Uncomprehendable how they make food taste so good. I have relabeled the Mac-N-Cheese, Crack-N-Cheese for the simple fact that you would probably sell your Grandma to get seconds. Appetizers - amazing. Desserts - insane. I'm sure the other entrees are good here but the half dozen times or so I've been here I just can't stop eating the steaks. Are you still reading this? What are you waiting for, just go! But unless you're Shaq or Jamie Foxx, go during the week if you want reasonable service.

    I had a great time that night, but the food was not exactly memorable. Partly at least because it's a steak restaurant, and I don't eat steak. VERY good people watching, especially if you sit outside. This is definitely a restaurant that wants to be hip.

    I went here for my anniversary and they accommodated us with a more discreet table. Our server was awesome always making sure our wine glasses were full (which helped towards finishing the bottle of wine hehe). We started off with the Four Cheese Fondue which was good and enormous. As our side we were at a toss up for either the Serrano Ham & Manchego Cheese Gratin or the Crispy White Truffle French Fries but our waiter recommended the gratin. My meat of choice was a NY Strip (with the Truffle butter), and for my SO the Filet Mignon (with the Bearnaise sauce). Our steaks were cooked perfect! They ended up bringing out the Truffle fries aswell which we welcomed but weren't ecstatic about them as we were about everything else. I'm not one to take leftovers home but this was so much food that we took everything home and had a great meal again for the next day. To end the dinner we ordered the Warm Dulce de Leche Bread Pudding w/ Candied Walnuts & Vanilla Ice Cream to go. I can't wait to go back and try their Five Cheese Truffle "MAC"!

    The first time I went here was about four years ago, and I still love it and think it is one of the best steak places in any town. The only reason I didnt give it five stars is that the bar area is way to small for the crowd that gathers and the big table they have there should probably get moved out to make more room (just my humble opinion). Also - what happened to the glasses of bacon they used to have at the bar - that was the best! What a great combo, Macallan 18 on the rocks with a big piece of yummy bacon........Well anyways the food is amazing, especially the porterhouse for two, any of the salads and I also love the sides......homemade giant tater tots - and lots of others. Also the kobe hamburger.....perfection.

    Sceney, crowded, great food, reasonable prices (by New York standards, at least.) My friend pointed out some sports celebrities, who, of course, I didn't recognize. Location isn't the best since it's way at the bottom of South Beach

    I would really rate this a 3.5 stars establishment if i could but since I can't, I picked 3 stars. 4 stars is excellent....5...well, I have yet to find that on my scale but it would have to be a perfect meal. Anyway, this place is a pricey steak house. Decent but not great. I had the bone-in rib-eye and was initially disappointed because it was overcooked, however, the waiter quickly took it back and brought me out one that was cooked at the right temperature. The fact that he happily took it back was refreshing for me. Of course, that lead me to tipping more than less also. The steak was good, not amazing, but still, dinner was very nice overall. This is a great place to observe people...lots of uniqueness going on. :) Alonzo Mourning was present also.

    I visited this place this past month during an annual girls trip. We shared a bottle of wine and us 4 shared a beefsteak tomato and onion salad. Yes, the salad was that big that us 4 comfortably could share a good portion of the salad. We then each ordered the 8 oz filet. The filet was very good and juicy. Everything here is in large proportions so our waiter recommended we split a couple of side items to accompany our filets. We ordered the white truffle french fries and the creamed spinach and they were both delish! Besides the delicious food, this is a hot spot for the chic SOBE crowd as well as a great place to look for celebs. We ended up sighting Mark Wahlberg dining with his dad as well as other members of his family towards the end of our dinner.

    I'm usually not a steak house person, but Prime One Twelve served me the best meal that I had in Miami. To start, we had the Kobe meatball (off the menu, from their sister restaurant Prime Italian across the street) and Maryland crab cocktail. Both delish, but predictable. The sides were what really stole the show; lobster mac & cheese and pancetta brussel sprouts. I know, I know, sounds trite, but the super creamy mac & cheese with hunks of claw meat stole my heart. Then there's the brussels sprouts, oh the brussel sprouts, roast w/balsamic and topped with a generous amount of crispy pancetta. My medium fillet mignon was not all together that memorable, so I'll fast forward to the fried oreos and chocolate peanut butter smores. The oreos are good, but NOT any better than what you would get from a street fair. The smores, wow, was ooey gooey goodness. A souffle sized desert, definite big enough to share. Hot toasted marshmallow cream on top of layers of a chocolate, peanut butter concoction and vanilla ice cream. It's been a week since I ate it, but I'm still day dreaming about that dessert today.

    easily one of the best meals I've ever had. the filet melted in my mouth. the atmosphere was sophisticated without being too trendy. the service was phenomonal. P.S. my friends and I dined alongside Shaq!

  • Jeremy S.

    This is one of my all time favorite restaurants and I highly recommend dinner here. The filet was good and the banana cheese cake was by far the best dessert I have ever had. Not at all touristy like most of the restaurants on Ocean. The only negative is street parking can be difficult to find.

    I was just in South Beach for the night and my boyfriend and I tried Prime 112. The decor was very warm and inviting and I thought the staff would be rude, but it wasn't. We had impeccable service, our waiter Kevin, was just outstanding. We took his recommendations on everything and that's the one thing I'm regretting. We started off with the Big Hawaiian Tuna appetizer. My boyfriend loved it. It was extremely fresh but the huge pieces of tuna was just too much for me. If the pieces would have been cut down smaller or something like that I probably would have enjoyed it more, but overall it was still very good. For our main course we got the 20 oz. New York Strip. I typically get the Fillet at every steak house I go to, but I went with Kevin's recommendation. While it was good, I would be willing to put money on the fact that I would have found the fillet to be delicious. We also got the peppercorn sauce, it was quite tasty. Picking a side proved to be difficult and we were looking at something with truffle oil and our waiter told us if we'd never had truffles before we should go with the mac and cheese with white truffle oil. I thought about and told him that since my boyfriend asked me to elope on our first date because he found out that I loved steak, mac and cheese and jack and cokes, why not? So we got the mac and cheese and it was very good. The cheese was a bit sharp but very tasty. We were extremely stuffed but we had to get dessert. Kevin told us that the fried oreos were the number one dessert. We got it. Let me tell you something, it was the greatest thing I have ever tasted. They were little pieces of heaven. When I make it back to South Beach, will I go back to Prime 112, sure. Will I get the New York Strip, probably not, but I will be without a doubt ordering the most delicious food to ever touch my lips, the fried oreos.

    honestly, to me it seems that all the menus in the restaurants are pretty much the same and the food is mediocre. not here. the atmosphere is really lively and cool. people can dress up or just wear jeans and a nice top or even a checked shirt. everyone feels good and that is why they look good. really nice service with waiters who know what they are serving and can advise you on the menu. I was there with Russian clients who were everywhere and tried everything...and they want to go to Prime again!! they loved it! the food...well, the first thing to say is that the portions are humongous. if everyone orders at least one entree you have food for the lunch on the next day. and its also really good. I have to mention the potato skins...absolutely delicious!! and the steak tartar was gorgeous according to my client. if you want to see some celebs, this is the place to go and ask for a table outside. paparazzi at the door waiting for 50 cents or evivica fox (I asked who was the last girl they were taking pics of ;) loved the food, the service but not the valets....honestly, it took them 20 minutes to get us the car. but it was ok, we were people watching and you get some nice dressed ladies to see! btw, all our clients love the place and we have mostly VIP guests... so its up to you to decide!

    Truly enjoyed this spot. PACKED! Almost impossible to get a reservation, at times. Everything tasted delicious! ... which is hard to find in florida ( in my opinion). Crab crusted grouper was delicious and the NY strip was tender. The kobe beef burger app was also very tender and juicy! I can't get enough of their smores dessert!

    so ...i have a new favorite steak place. so maybe i'm lame for not going before last week. this place kills...and i mean kills every other steak restaurant i've ever eaten. and i'm comparing it to vito's chop house in orlando, smith n lewinski's (sp?), ruth chris, the cowboy place in chicago... this place is the best!!!!.. with a big period ... another period!!!! it took us 2 months to get a reservation! but it was worth it... best fillet i ever had. the meet was simply a better quality. i didn't even know there was a better quality! i also had the tuna tar tar app and a few oysters...dude ..are you kidding me is all i kept saying. the tuna was perfect ! then we ended up with fried oreo and ice cream ! wow ! the server bet me and said if i didn't like it , i wouldn't pay for it...i paid for it its expensive..but i didnt pay so ..i didn't care! just go! ....and take me with you late!

    In South Beach there are must go places to eat and Prime 112 is one of them. The atmosphere is electric as you wait over an hour for your table, this is with reservations, as you watch Bentley GT and Phantoms pull up and watch Russell Simmons get out. If the hostess tells you they can seat you upstairs immedicately, deny it. Upstair dining is a huge bore, no atmosphere at all. Steaks basically melt in your mouth and the family style sides are amazing. You have to try the hash browns. The most entertaining part of every dinner I've had there and I've had my share is listening to everyone around you talk about their accomplishments and what they got. Its hilarious.

    Prime One Twelve is a superb Steak House especially for South Beach. Located on South Ocean Drive which is the quieter end the restaurant is part of a very small Boutique Hotel. The decor is very elegant with dark woods and light colors and glass and more modern. The crowd is mix but mostly mid thirties and mostly upwards of forty and up. The food is on par with great steak houses in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles. The bar is area is a good size and the dining room area is broken up around the whole space. The wine list is very good and the cocktails are very good as well. I have only dined here six times and have had a good experience in both the bar and dining rooms. It is definitely good for dining alone at the bar or date or with a large group. You will be pleasantly surprised that South Beach has such a great Steak House. Parking is available on the street as well as valet.

    i came here all the way from san francisco and had my 30th bday dinner here and i was not disappointed. the decor was very nice and they had a huge bar with very friendly bartenders. we had a couple of drinks while we waited for our table. after we sat down we had a few appetizers and i would recommend the foie gras cuz the give you such a huge piece! the cowboy ribeye was cooked to perfection and the side were so amazing. definitely get the truffle creamed corn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so good!!!!!!!!!! if i ever come back to miami this will be the first stop for sure.

    What a difference a year makes! We loved this restaurant when we visited Miami last year. Our waiter was helpful, and advised us NOT to order as much food as we planned on since the portions are huge. This year, the waiter tried to push more food on us, gave us terrible service, borderline rude, and the food was ordinary steakhouse fare with huge portions. Absolutely nothing special. What a disappointment. So many other great restaurants in Miami.

    This place definitely lived up to the hype and buzz. I've been to most of the top steak houses in NYC, Chicago, etc and this place matches/surpasses the best of them. Unlike some of the reviews here, we received outstanding service. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable , never rushed us despite the huge crowd, and very helpful with menu & wine suggestions. It's definitely a "scene" (some of the Phoenix Suns were there the night we were...) but that's all part of the fun here. Great place to go with friends or clients. The scallops appetizer might have been the best I've ever eaten and the truffle mac n cheese is insane. We were too full to try the desserts but they looked incredible. I would highly recommend this place if you're going to SoBe.

    Last night, I went to Prime 112 with 7 other people. We were seated at a round table in the back left corner in a somewhat private area at 7:30pm. Most of the tables are close together and the restaurant is loud so try and get something away from the front door. The bar gets packed with and the scene is what you would expect; pretty people with even prettier cars. I was told from 2 locals that were in our group the "steak would be the best I ever had" Well I have to say the food was actually really good, maybe not the best ever put pretty darn good. The prices on the other hand were some of the most expensive I have seen at a steak house. That being said we had the Kobe meatball which was just ok. The chopped salad and the green goddess dressing was pretty good too and big enough for all of us at the table to share. I had the 8oz filet and grilled asparagus done to my liking but 2 people that got the bone in filet ordered in medium rare and they both same medium well. I think the dessert menu was fantastic and everything we tried was excellent; choc chip cookies with a tall glass of milk on the side, key lime pie with blueberry and mango sauce drizzled on the plate, and creme brule. So save room for those. Overall I had a good experience and am glad that I went. Big wine selection and great service.

    This place is sooo good. I live in Cali but still dream about the food I ate at this place. Every aspect of the food was amazing, appeitizers, cocktails, steak and dessert - it was all superb. We were just eating and minding out own business until all of the sudden there was this rising buzz/energy in the restaurant. So I look up from licking my plate and Michael Jordan + other players I really dont know are like 3 tables away from us. We didnt move for like 3 hours because I had the best unobstructed close up view of the greatest basketball player in history! Yes waiter - I'll have ANOTHER drink.

    Lunch Review - My guest and I arrived at 1:00 p.m. for lunch and the place was completely empty - we thought it was closed. Despite the absence of customers, the service was horrible. A young blond waitress, who described herself a split-shifter, seemed to not care that the table needed a good cleaning. One set of utensils had to go back and both bread plates had food stuck on them - yuck. Our salads were okay, if not a little tasteless. My guest and I both ordered them with dressing on the side but they came dressed, to which the waitress replied "can you try to eat them that way"???? She also kept resting her hand on the back of my friend's chair - we never did figure out what that was all about. Sides came, all cold, but okay tasting, nothing to glow about. Finally, after 40 minutes, our steaks arrived. I ordered a rib eye and my friend had the same thing - one came totally undercooked (ordered medim, arrived rare), and the other was almost inedible it was so overcooked (ordered medium well). We waited at least 15 minutes for our waitress who finally came over and ARGUED WITH US THAT THE STEAKS WERE COOKED RIGHT. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!! Finally, she agreed to take them back to the kitchen. In the meantime with all the dishes, our table was full. Instead of consolidating the plates or removing some, they just sat. We finally consolidated them ourselves for room and put the used plates on the next table. The second time the steaks came out they were better and pretty good. The waitress got snarky about the plates on the next table, but still offered dessert. She recommended the bread pudding. It was nothing like bread, not like cake, not like anything we had ever seen or tasted, but instead seemed like a huge pile of chemical mess. We ordered coffee but it did not come until we flagged down another restaurant employee who brought out stale, lukewarm coffee about as good as mud. So, $200 later, we waved goodbye to Prime 112, vowing to never go bac,k and hoping that the waitress adjusted her attitude for the next shift.

    Prime 112 is hands down the BEST steak house in Miami. For those that do not want to wait or are unable to secure a reservation, here is a tip: The same menue is offered at lunch time and there is never a wait!!! Prime 112, I love you.

  • Wilfredo G.

    We were 4 for dinner & 1 person was late for about 20 minutes. Although the restaurant was practically empty, since it was an early dinner reservation, they did not allow us to sit at our table until the late party arrived. They would only offer us to sit at the bar or take a table outside. The hostess/receptionist was very rude and seemed to be more interested being on the phone than attending to clients. I complained to the manager and he was completely unhelpful, repeatedly saying that this was the policy of the restaurant. His rationale for having this policy was to avoid disruptions at the kitchen resulting from orders being placed from tables at different times due to additional orders being placed by late arriving guests. I found it interesting that this supposedly fine restaurant would be more concerned about the work flow of the kitchen than about pleasing their patrons. Also, I was surprised to see that there were no tablecloths on the tables. I only saw one table in the whole restaurant that had tablecloth. It was a table that was tucked away in a corner on the far end of the restaurant. I guess this is the table they reserve for their "A list" patrons. Food was great, but extremely pricey! Our waiter was pretty good, which almost made up for the initial bad experience. I don't plan to ever come back to this restaurant. I suggest that if you are looking for a good steak and good service in Miami Beach, you go to Smith & Wollensky instead

    My husband and I go to Miami every year in the winter b/c we love the beach. We also love good food and come here for the consistent food. I love the chillean sea bass; so very soft/butter/flakey/smooth texture and my husband always enjoys his steak here. The shrimp cocktail is incredibly delicious, which was ma big surprise, considering how enormous the shrimps are! crab cakes are very yummy, better than crab cakes at Joe's stone crab!!! the sides were very good too...5 cheese mac n cheese, fried green tomatoes, sweet potatoe fries. but the 2 reasons why I did NOT give this plc a 5 star is the expensive wine list and also the 'south beachy style' people...there are some very good looking fit ladies; however, their attire were very slutty, not classy; ie., they're like 'hamburger from takeout, instead of prime kobe steak. both delicious but one is cheap/short term fulfillment/not as healthy/greasy and the other is expensive/quality/healthy. also the people at the check in desk are not as friendly; they seemed 'bitter/unhappy' and/or ' self absorbed about something in the 'grey area,' which I don't want to find out.

    One of the best meals I've had in my life. My girlfriend and I ate here right before catching a flight back home to NY. We started with the French Onion soup which was amazing and the cheese was so tasty. Next came the big daddy, 44oz Porterhouse medium rare which we split. The filet was like butter and the strip was one of the best I've had. Only other comparable steak I've had in my life was the same porterhouse at BLT Prime in NY, but the crust on the Prime 112 porterhouse and the tenderness of their strip was to die for. Side dishes we got were the 5 cheese truffle "MAC" which was so rich and delicious we could only finish half. The other side was the spinach and Parmesan stuffed tomatoes. We didn't take a bite of them but we wrapped it up and took it back to NY with us. Heated it up and enjoyed every bite at the office the day after our trip. I could only imagine how much better this would have been fresh. Not a single complaint, the absolute perfect meal in my mind.

  • Alex D.

    Came here today for the first time. Incredibly large portions at reasonable prices for the type of restaurant it is. Had the 20 oz prime rib, which was probably larger than 20 ounces. Superbly cooked and great service. Only negative would be that we were seated in a location that was clearly not designed for a table to be. It was awkwardly placed in the hallway in front of an elevator and we were bumped by the groups of people coming in and out.

  • Andie L.

    I'll get right to the point: if you're not looking to drop a pretty penny, don't even THINK about stepping foot in here. Had a reservation and was able to sit as soon as we arrived. The atmosphere is really nice, the menu is overwhelming. Had the Hawaiian tuna poke appetizer special and it was delicious but stupidly overpriced like everything else on the menu. A basic baked potato is $15. I got the 8 oz. steak which is the smallest (and it was plenty I didn't need more) and that was about $36. It wouldn't be enough if you're starving or have a hearty appetite though. You want sauce or butter on your steak? Cough up another $4. We could tell that because we weren't ordering drinks or the priciest items on the menu the waiter was trying to rush us out of the place which made it extremely uncomfortable. We were in and out the door in 30 minutes. They couldn't take away our plates quickly enough. Even though the food was tasty, I wouldn't go back - definitely not worth it.

    Now I'm a foodie, and when I say that a restaurant is absolutely incredible, I know what the hell I'm talking about. You will not get one bad morsel of food in this place. Myles Chefetz has out-done any restaurant in South Florida. He's known as "The King of South of Fifth" for a reason. Expect to pay astronomical prices (around $100 a person), but you certainly get your money's worth. And, you never know who you'll run into. Everyone from Oprah Winfrey, to Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Cameron Diaz, and Adam Sandler have been spotted here. On my most recent visit, I was here with a party of 5. Everyone agreed that their dish was impeccable. The service was stellar. We had about 3 different people waiting on us. And when we complained that we didn't like where we were sitting in the crowded Grand Run-way, the manager came over and offered to buy us all a dessert each. Their salads are enough for a party of 5 to share, so we ordered a caesar salad for the table, which is always great. We ordered about 5 sides for the table. Roasted beets, sautéed mushrooms, sautéed spinach, creamed corn, and sweet potato mash. I don't eat beets, but the rest of the sides were out of this world. I have a sweet potato addiction, and these sweet potatoes were seriously THE best that I've ever had. Ever. For my main course, I kept it simple and got the 12 oz. filet mignon with the truffle butter. I've been to the best of the best 5-star restaurants. I've eaten many different steaks from these places, and I couldn't compare one place to Prime 112. Literally, the softest steak that I've EVER eaten. It was like butter, falling apart when you cut it. I probably didn't even need a knife, that's how soft it was. And it was cooked to perfection, medium-well like I ordered it. Juicy, tender, and tasty. And the truffle butter was the best that I've ever had, also. We got 4 desserts for the table. One cheesecake, two orders of fried Oreo's, and the Chocolate & Peanut Butter S'mores. I mostly just ate the S'mores, and tried one of the Oreo's. Out. Of. This. World. I can't say enough great things about Prime 112. The absolute best in South Beach.

    wow wow wow Prime One Twelve... you have outdone yourself. This place has my heart (for now), everything about this restaurant is amazing from décor to the food. My Boyfriend decided to take me here to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. We had a reservation and we were sat immediately, then again we went on a Tuesday so I cant speak on behalf of the people who have waited a long time to be seated. We were attended immediately by this wonderful server whose name is Flex and wow we got lucky with having him. He made us feel so welcomed as if we were regulars, not to mention very knowledgeable of the menu ( knew everything by heart ). He was nice enough to tell lus the plates were big enough to share and well needless to say... he was right. Here it goes ... We shared the Crispy Chicken Sliders (Appetizer) / 12 oz Filet Mignon ( Entrée) / lobster Mac N' Cheese ( Side Dish ) and last but not least the fried oreos... Flex was nice enough to let us try the fried red velvet cupcakes for dessert ( delicious!!!!!!) I have nothing negative to say about our plates... each bite was a piece of heaven. Our filet mignon was cooked perfectly as we asked...p.s you have to try the garlic served with it !! & yes we were full .. more like in a food coma Is this place expensive ? yes ... but so worth every penny. Love ya Prime 112 !!

    Prime One Twelve is really just one of those restaurants that you have to try while in Miami. The vibe is cool and it's always packed here. I honestly would've given 5 stars if they didn't overbook their reservations. This place gets so crowded that it might as well be first come first serve only because I made a reservation and still had to wait over an hour! The only thing that made the wait better was the free bacon by the bar in the wine glasses. They knew what they were doing because seriously who can be upset when they're eating baconnn:) So their drinks are expensive. And mine wasn't even close to being strong. I ordered a mojito and it tasted like really good mint juice sugar water. My second one I had to pay $10 extra to add rum to it ;/ oh well it made it actually taste like a mojito should. On to the food :) so we started with a crab cake that literally melted in my mouth. When I close my eyes at night I dream about it lol. I got the chicken and waffles and it was amazing. And I'm a chicken and waffle girl and I loved it. The chicken was huge and crispy and boneless and came with hot sauce. The waffle wasn't the best waffle I've had but it was good. I tried the lobster mac and wasn't impressed. I was trying to find the lobster but it was almost nonexistent and I really think I paid $24 for that velveeta shells. Welp Gotta try this place! Maybe on a weekday. Bring some money with you. Definitely not a cheap meal at all. I keep telling my boyfriend he's lucky I don't like to eat steak! Lmao

    Went for dinner a few weeks ago while in Miami and was the first time dining here. We made a reservation even though it was a Monday night and it was certainly needed because the place was packed. We were seated right away and I have to say the service was excellent from the moment we sat down. For drinks, I had a cucumber martini - skip it! It had a strange flavor and was not well made. For an appetizer we had a Caesar salad and it was not only huge but delicious! The thick shredded pieces of Parmesan on top really was a nice touch and the dressing was perfect. For my entree I had the filet which was very good and the choices of sauce were impressive. Someone else I was with order the fish (I believe it was grouper) stuffed with crab and that was phenomenal! We also got several sides, all highly recommended - creamed corn, Brussels sprouts and potatoes at gratin. Unfortunately there was no room for dessert but everything I saw looked yummy! Would definitely done here again!

    Not my first time here but love the atmosphere and the food is always on point. Great service from Brian and was very knowledgeable about the food selections my bf and I asked about. I first started off with a delicious Cucumber Maritni with Hendricks Gin ( My Fav! ) We sat and shared the Scallop and Short Rib Appetizer and that was delicious ! The short rib was perfection and really delicious ! The Scallops were a nice plump size but a little too salty.. I know they are from the sea and naturally loaded with salt but wish they were maybe soaked to get some of that excess salt out. Overall really great app. Next up was the Arugula and Beat Salad with Goat Cheese Croutons ! Now this is a mouth full and was soo good ! The goat cheese croutons were in it's own category of awesomeness ! The goat cheese was very mild and perfectly prepared for this salad! Our Entrée was a filet accompanied with sweet creamed corn. Cooked to perfection of medium rare-medium. You can't go wrong with a steak from here and it's a steakhouse, order a steak ! The dessert. Fried Oreod and Red Velvet mini cupcakes. WTF ! lol. So good and filling we each split one and brought the rest home :) Thanks for an amazing date night and great service :)

    I have been to Prime 112 several times and they never diassapoint with the food and service. The food was delicious and all of the entrees have pretty good portions. The chicken and waffles are my absolute fav!!!!!!! The macaroni & cheese is perfect. I suggest making a reservation if you go on a weekend to avoid waiting. Its a little pricey bit it's well worth it. We always have leftovers so make sure you pick a hotel that has a microwave in the room to reheat later. *wink*

    The food was excellent, but we felt very rushed. We went on a Tuesday evening. Our server spoke so quickly we couldn't even catch what he was saying and almost felt like they wanted to get us out of there as soon as possible because it's so busy in there. Also some of the waiters were standing by the bar as if they were watching everyone eat and waiting until they were done to get them out of there! Very uncomfortable. The high price of the food & drinks (though it was very good) was not entirely worth the experience. The place was a lot smaller and squished than I expected. It's never comfortable sitting practically WITH another couple you do not know. I only give this 3 stars for the food.

    I dropped by Prime 112 for a Saturday night dinner. I made a reservation a little bit early because I heard that after a certain time, the wait can be extensive even with one. I was given the choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Summer in Miami... Of course I'll eat outside. Waiter was very knowledgeable and explained in great detail the different cuts of meat. I ordered the 20oz NY strip and my date had the crab crusted grouper. When I'm tell you that this was absolutely the best steak I've had at a restaurant. This is coming from someone who has eaten at some of the finest places on the planet. It was amazing. The seer was perfect. The fish was also delectable. We finished off the meal with the fried cupcakes and Oreos. My inner fat boy was pleased as punch. The meal was a bit pricey but I do suggest trying it at least once. Tell em Large Marge sent cha!!

    So coming on a weekday at 7pm is better than coming at 8pm and having a long wait. The food is fantastic as long as you are seated as a resonable time.

    The many times that I thought of the day that I would finally enter the doors, make my way over to the bar, grab a seat and just start munching on that bacon! That day finally arrived. It was not supposed to go that way but there's nothing wrong with that. Even with having reservations there was still a wait and my impatient self lead me to the bar. I have frequented SoBe quite a bit and just could never make it over to Prime even though it was high on my hit-list. I've built up quite a bit of hype to myself about this place and it met every expectation that I set. MASSIVE portions. I don't think that there is such a thing as a "lite" meal here. Come here ready to eat and leave the vegetarian friends at home. This place is made for carnivore's who enjoy the ambiance and being around a like minded crowd. Of course lets not forget about the celebrity sightings and millionaire dollar cars being valeted outside. But great service, excellent food and it lives up to the hype. Check it out, you won't regret it.

    The portions are enormous so it's really a good value for what you are getting. I would probably split a salad, side, and entrée next time. It was just too much and not something you'd take home to reheat either. I don't care much for steak so their menu accommodates for those like me. I loved the fish. It was wonderful! The sides melted in my mouth and the salads were refreshing. I wouldn't mind going back and am very glad my cousin made us go here!

    Love this place. Everything looks magnificent. I've had the chilean sea bass before ($42) and it's one of the best. Only downside to this place is the insane wait even with a reservation. It's a madhouse! The next time I went. I called prior and and went for lunch on a weekday. There was no wait and it was quiet empty. If you want good food without the hassle, go around that time. They close at 3. The truffle Mac, lobster salad And porter house 48 oz slit between 3 people and was more than enough. We even had leftovers. The porter house was cooked mid rare ( a bit too cooked however where brought out) with Gorgonzola butter. The butter was a burst was flavor. Our bill for 3 was around $72(with tip) each. It is very filling with the big side and totally shareable. Top 5 steakhouse One of the best restaurants in florida. Would give 5 if it wasn't for the mad housed environment. Also parking is typically am issue.

    At least they deserved 5 stars in food that been consistently and service are exceptional. I'm not rate from one time experience I make sure every Trip there in Miami I have to go Prime at least 3/4 time for my Lamb that perfectly cooked . Reservation are professional they keep ur info my phone number and called to confirmed . Waiting time is weak but those guy at the front desk did his best and I'm amazing how could he handle so well . Great job .!

    I have to give this place 4 stars solidly because they make you wait for no apparent reason. Our reservation was for 7:30 yet at 8:20 they were still telling us "we're working on it." And the couple next to us had been waiting for even longer. It got so bad my boyfriend decided to speak to the manager and immediately after we were seated. Once we get inside there were a few visible open tables. Although our concierge warned us they are notoriously known to make people wait. The drinks, I had these very refreshing watermelon martinis and my boyfriend had a redbull vodka and then a cucumber martini... Drinks were delicious The food, we ordered half a dozen oysters which were a bit creamy, but still delicious. For entrèe my boyfriend and I each ordered 8 oz filet minion (medium rare), truffle creamy corn, and sauté spinach.. The food was pretty good, the cream cord was delicious and it was a pretty good quality stake.. That being said, I've been to a lot of other good stake houses, & this one didn't really have any "it" factor when it came to the food.

    Update: came back here recently, and the food was actually great! I came at around 5:30 on a Wednesday, so the restaurant wasn't as crazy busy as it usually is. Unlike my previous experiences, there was no wait with or reservation and the service from both the hostess and waitress as superb. Started off with the cheese bread, which is simply crave-worthy. For my main course, I ordered the tuna tartare, which was DELICIOUS- super fresh and tasty. Also ordered a corn dish and truffle fries for sides and it was awesome....very heavy but worth the calories! For dessert, we got fried Oreos. How was it? Well, simply put, my friend and I finished the entire plate. I look forward to returning!

    I was there on a lovely Sunday afternoon the place was pretty empty we decided to sit outdoors because it was such a beautiful day. I started with the scallop and short rib appetizer it was divine scallops were seared to perfection and the short ribs just melted in my mouth . We had the stuffed lobster it was good just to much filling to many bread crumbs in their family of restaurants I prefer prime fish

  • Annie K.

    If you're willing to wait the one hour wait time to get a table -despite having made reservations- this steakhouse is well worth it. They serve bacon strips at the bar... Yes you read correctly. Bacon strips. A must have: the poke tuna as an appetizer.

  • Maggie G.

    Felt like Rosa Parks. We had reservations at 9pm and didn't get seated until 10pm. All of the hostesses were rude and seemed very disorganized. They told us to be seated and we would be called when our table is available. When asked how would they find us (since waiting area is very loud and crowded, hostess said she writes a description of me and will find me). No wonder! When we were finally seated they walked us outside to a different part of the restaurant... i.e. the back of the bus. Service was fast and food was delish, however it was overshadowed by the lack of taste in music. My entire dinner was interrupted by lyrics of "f-bombs". This is certainly not the ambiance you expect in fine dinning where you spend $85 on a piece of steak. I hope the owners/managers realize what they are doing and understand the severity of the situation. Its unfortunate that I will not be going back due to this experience. Rosa Parks... I feel ya sista!

    Was on a 23hour layover in Miami on our honeymoon and looking for a steakhouse comparable to the upscale ones in NY. We certainly found one in Prime 112. Food and service was amazing. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was how crowded and close the seating was in the dining room but the food and service made up for it! This is surely a hotspot. Wife and I had shellfish platter appetizer and for dinner we had a porter house steak for two with lots of sides. And yes the truffle butter as well!! Home run!

    My three dinner companions and I were all very pleased with our dinner entrées last night at this restaurant. We had no less than three servers hovering over our table all evening making sure all of her classes were full and our table was clean and that all of our needs were met. Two of my friends shared The ribeye for two and Alaskan King crab legs and they said everything was cooked perfectly and the portions were huge. We also ordered the beets and french fries and they were also expertly prepared. I ordered the braised short rib and it was so tender and so flavorful I couldn't believe it. We also ordered a salad which is big enough for the table of four to share and then we ordered one piece of carrot cake and one piece of Keylime pie which was also big enough for the four of us to share. The desserts tasted store-bought and next time I think I will skip them. This is a very expensive restaurant and it's a little noisy. Too noisy and busy for a romantic date night, But I think it's nice when you go out with friends.

    First timer and found it to be quite a Miami scene. Great people watching! We had a reservation and they took us right in (though I hear they don't always) - Seems the place is packed every night of the week. The service was exceptional from the time we were seated. Of course we ordered steaks - I had an 8 oz filet and it was cooked perfectly. What I really loved was the creamed corn with black truffle, possibly the best side on the menu. An overall great experience and I will return.

  • John M.

    Had a reservation for 9pm and didn't get seated until 10pm. We were then seated in the next door hotel restaurant, Prime hotel. The music and ambiance were completely different than in the main restaurant. We had to listen to rap music on blast with cursing the entire time. Had conversation interrupted by the "f" word all night. The only good thing I can say is that they have some good side dishes to order with your meal. But my steak was way overcooked and I was highly disappointed in our experience. Hopefully others have a better experience.

    Average food, nice atmosphere. Place is beautiful, everyone hustles. Not much intimate experience with server. Went on Saturday night and place was packed. Must have reservation. We ate oysters which were amazing, a special of tuna which was delicious. We also ate porterhouse with truffle fries and lobster mac and cheese, which I think my husband who cooks better with a grand total cost of$420! The fresh food (from ocean) was great, cooked food average.!.!.!.!

    March 2015- There is nothing bad I can say about this place. We had reservations for 7:30pm on Sunday & we walked in, and was seated right away. We had a party of 7. The guys went to the bar before being seated, they given complimentary bacon. We sat at dinner, drink orders were taken. We ordered food. Their side dishes were enough to feed the entire table. I ordered the Prime Rib... we had Garlic Mash Potatoes, and Creamy Spinach. Everything was delicious. The prime rib was huge & was able to take home. If you are looking for a nice restaurant in Miami... this your place. They are a bit pricey but well worth every penny!!!

    I came to Prime One Twelve with a group of five friends this past weekend. We made a reservation and were a bit late for said reservation and had to wait about half an hour. I obviously wished we were taken sooner, but I get it. We were guided out the front door to be seated at a different part of the restaurant, which was a first for me. This give and take theme carried on for the remainder of the meal. There were lots of great menu options, but a legitimate single pad of butter for a basket full of bread. My tomato soup appetizer was delicious, but too large. It came with a huge grilled cheese garnish as a scrumptious edible touch that honestly needed to be sized down. Instead of $15, charge $10 and make it less soup and a smaller grilled cheese. Granted it's nice to have a large portion with a steep appetizer price, but no one wants to eat two cans of soup and a full sandwich prior to a large entree. (Perhaps the good ol' fashioned cup and bowl option?) Additionally, we did not get the famous bacon every raves about. I believe our table was not indulged as much because we're in our early twenties. We were seated right next to the restrooms and our waiter did not seem interested in us. Yes I am assuming and our age could have nothing to do with it, but I cannot stress how much I hate that stereotype. When I dine I am prepared to drop some serious money, especially at a place like Prime One Twelve. I am a foodie and believe every customer is worthy of food critic adoration. For the grand finale, my medium filet mignon was really divine. It had great flavor without being gamey, absolutely no fat and a brilliant sear. I chose to accompany it with the garlic and herb butter. I was shocked at how much butter I was given (where was this at bread time), but I guess that's their way of making the $3 charge worth it. For sides I chose onion rings and potato pancakes. The onion rings were really good, but I wish I got something else. In retrospect an onion ring can really only be so good. They weren't beer battered or anything like that. The potato pancakes were yummy and had a perfect apple compote on top with a dollop of chive sour cream. Though the compote is an ingenious pairing to substitute applesauce, I wish it came on the side. I love potato pancakes for the salty world of my palate, so I saved the compote to be devoured alone. Lastly, while our waiter was a nice and prompt guy, he wasn't as captivating as I like. It didn't seem like he cared too much. When I come to a high end restaurant I want the waiter to be cordial and passionate. They should be enchanting our begging appetite as much as the owner or head chef would. An establishment like Prime One Twelve is a dining experience and despite the delectable food, I don't feel like I got the full experience.

    I attempted to write this review last night before entering a food-induced coma ... but it didn't workout to well. So many good flavors entered my mouth last night that I don't know where to begin. Okay, let's start with the atmosphere, it's great. I'm a fan of dim lighting and hip-hop ... this place offered both. And not the ratchet kind of hip-hop, the classy stuff (Jay-Z). Our table was on point! I felt like I was in a scene from American Psycho, except this place beats the hell out of Dorsia. Overall we had great service. The waiter was on point and helped us out a lot with the menu. The hostesses were attractive, ditzy, and had us waiting for a while ... even with reservations. I get it though, they're on their grind trying to get out of West Miami and they got the job in Sobe before they get move out their parents crib or get a guy with a Lambo (Miami stereotype, I'm jk). And of course the people of Sobe are attractive, the table to my right had a gang of dimes that looked like they were taking a break from filming the real housewives of Miami. So guys, come in looking sharp. Oh, and ladies, make sure you break out the red bottoms for this one. Also, don't come in there hating. If you see an old guy with a young Brazilian implant ... appreciate the man's hustle. The place is meant for a good time. We sat down and ordered water all around. This lets the waiter know that we're here to do work on the food and nothing else. He immediately busted out the bread and I consumed carbs than I should have. THE FOOD: The broccoli was perfectly cooked. It was divine to say the least. Garlic mashed potatoes were on point, I will state that my grandma can make better. The truffle macaroni is perfect, I think it's probably the go-to side. When it entered my mouth, it was like the scene from Ratatouille when old buddy tries the platter and has a mouthgasm. Main Event: The steaks are on point. I will say that the outer portion was a bit dry, but other than that ... it's some high quality meat. I have to say that the ribeye (w/ peppercorn sauce) was probably the best mix I had that night.

    Having reservations for 19:30, we arrived a few minutes before to be met with a crowd at the entrance all fighting for the attention of the hostess. After finally making it through we where told it would be a 30-45 minutes wait, 45 turned out to be right. It was expected after reading yelp reviews but still very annoying and deducting from the experience. Service was OK but I had actually expected better. The food was excellent though, easily the best steak I've ever had (bone in rib eye). Would have been 4-5 stars if it hadn't been for that whole waiting game they make you play. I am happy for the experience but will not be back.

  • Joanna D.

    I would have given 5 stars if we didn't have to wait 45 minutes since we DID have a reservation. The service was great, the food was great. We had a salad to start, which you can technically split 4-6 ways. It's GIGANTIC. Then my husband had the 12 oz steak (filet) and I had the salmon. And we ordered sweet potato fries and the lobster Mac n cheese as sides. Everything was delicious but we did order too much for just the 2 of us. Bill came out to almost $200 with tip. Well worth it though. Best steak my husband has ever had. And best salmon I have ever had.

  • Brenda P.

    3 stars ONLY because the food was really great. If not it would be a one. How can you enjoy good food when you are 1)seated by the front door with all of Miami humidity coming in every 5 seconds 2) bumping into people while you wait over an hour and then claustrophobic as you eat and 3) with mediocre service? Arrived at 7:50 for an 8:00pm reservation. Did not get seated until 9:10pm. I don't care who you are or if you serve me in diamond encrusted platinum plates. THIS IS NOT OK. I would have left but the friends we went with really like it here and we did not want to be the party poopers. I checked in at the front where the host/tess was getting slammed with people on all sides of the host/tess stand. We then ventured out to wait at the bar. The space from the bar to the wall must be about 4'-5' . This means people are sitting and there is a mob 2 people deep behind the people seated and absolutely NO WALKING SPACE. It was basically, a club! Not sure how but we eventually scored seats for all of us. We ordered some drinks and ordered the acclaimed $25.00 kobe beef hot dog split into four while we waited. That was really good. After one too many warm bacon strips (which they have for you at the bar) we finally decided to give up our bar seats and stand by the hostess stand to remind them we were up "next". After an hour and 10 minutes, we got seated. They did not walk far to sit us. In fact, it was about 10 steps towards the front door. Make that, next to the front door. Ah, yes. Every time the door opened (which was constantly) the very nice Miami humidity creeped in so you were getting a hot/muggy stream all night. Want to take a guess as to how amazing that felt? We did not have the option of requesting a different table given we had waited so long and their " we don't give a crap" attitude. By now we were hoping that this would be worth it. They brought out the bread basket with cheese, onion and raisin bread along with butter and sea salt. All good. We ordered the following: * Signature Salad- looked great, tasted blah. Romaine, spinach, hearts of palm, cucumber, celery hearts, grape tomatoes,asparagus, yet more bacon & green goddess dressing * Chicken & Waffles- you can't mess this up but the one at Yarbird is better. The breading was too thick although the chicken was tender. The maple syrup was really good. * 8oz Filet -* Bone in Rib Eye -* Rib Eye Cap- all three of these were exceptional and cooked perfectly. Very very good. (my steak came out medium rare instead or medium though) * Rum Plantains- I am Cuban. Naturally, I love plantains. These were just OK. * Tater Tots- soggy. End of story. Could not eat them. * Chocolate Peanut Butter S'Mores- Right up there on my favorite desserts list. DELICIOUS! * Warm Buttermilk Doughnuts with chocolate & strawberry Grand Marnier sauces- Very good. I prefer the ones at The Dutch better but you cannot go wrong with these. the sauces sound better than they actually were. * Fried Oreos- Does this really need an explanation? So wrong but oh so right. Skipped coffee given our humid surroundings. Service overall was robotic. You asked, they brought. Nothing different than I would get at a mediocre restaurant (service wise). Shoot, someone there might be more welcoming than they were here. I wish I could tell you what it looked like in here but I can't because all I saw was mobs of people standing around with a leg chair sticking out here and there. I wish this was a place I could go back to given how I loved the steak and desserts. There were even so many other desserts that I wanted to try! How can I though? If I want to eat by 8pm I have to get there by 6:30pm? Really? Then sit and be uncomfortable because it's either humid or too close to the next table? And then have a robot waiter? Thanks but no thanks. I would say, don't go on a weekend if you are going to try it. If you do, be open to hanging in a club like atmosphere elbowing your way through the crowd to get a drink. Don't expect anything but ordinary table service (bartenders were VERY efficient and nice by the way). Once there, focus on the food and you should be OK.

    Prime One Twelve is a great steakhouse. When I learned we dining at a steakhouse in Miami the red flag immediately went up. I can assure you that this is a world-class steakhouse. We also ordered some of the freshest Washington St oysters. I guess they FedEx them daily. Not sure if that's TMI? They definitely treated us right. One minor complaint is that the steak was medium well. I ordered medium plus. It was so delicious I just ate it. Also based on the other reviews I would have liked the server to educate us a little more about the menu. Regardless, you can't go wrong with this place if price is not an issue.

    Absolutely one of the best steak houses I've ever been to. The place is cozy and dark and VERY busy so make a reservation. The service is spot on! The servers know the menu and the wines. Don't be afraid to order based on their suggestions of wine. The steaks are amazing as was the fresh, flown in from Hawaii Ahi Tuna. Everything was simply amazing. If you're in Miami Beach and can afford the prices I suggest trying this place. You won't find a better meal on the beach!

    Ok...so you got money to burn? Well, this place will definitely put a hole in your wallet! Reservations are a MUST unless you feel like standing around for 90+ minutes! Valet is expensive...Yeah, I know I'm in the beach!? It's SUPER PACKED and by that I mean with frivolous spenders and tables. We were seated at a table almost literally on top of another couple! I heard and tasted every crunch of that dude's fried bacon he ordered. Steaks are really good but my wife DID NOT care for their Chicken and Waffles which is supposed to be the bomb but to her was more like a dud! Corkage fee is $35!!! Go if you must and post pics so you can say you went to "Prime 112" but don't recommend because then your friends will hate you.

    Amazing steaks....Melt in your mouth goodness Walking in this place was a little dark and I did notice the seating area was a little cramp, but the place didn't look that big over all so they might be utilizing the space as much as possible. The bar area was very small and there wasn't really any room to stand or wait if you were waiting for your table. Once seated the server was very nice and attentive. We order some cocktails while we decide on what we wanted for dinner. We decided to get their steaks because they were known for it. My friend got the bone in veal and that melt in your mouth delicious. Other friend got their bone in filet and that too was go tender that you could really cut it with your butter knife. Other friend and I got the bone in ribeye...that too was amazing. I cannot complain about the steak for sure...so if you come must get the beef! The sides....was not impress. We got 3 sides. 1) Brussels Sprouts was okay...tad over cooked it wasn't as good. 2) Lobster Mac- very very BAD...the crust was over herby and there wasn't any lobster in it....I so wanted to return it back cuz that was not worth it! 3) the mashed sweet potato was GOOD....it was very good with a hint of vanilla. Over all this place was good...

    Sometimes the eyes are bigger than the stomach and other times, the plate is bigger than the eyes and stomachs of two people. Such is the case with the sides and salads at Prime 112. They are plentiful. But the steak is really the main attraction here. Oh, the steak. I honestly feel this is the best steak I've ever had. Correction, the best 8oz filet mignon. I've eaten at some of the best steakhouses in the country and Prime stands out. It's sheer perfection. Tender, juicy and delicately salty. Now whenever I'm in Miami, I have to schedule a dinner at 112. As for the sides and salads, we had the sautéed broccolini rabe in garlic which was outstanding and the signature prime chopped salad was delectable with its cured cubes of divine smokey bacon, hearts of palm, asparagus and greens in a house made green goddess dressing. And finally the buns. Yes, even the bread and butter is something to write Yelp about. Three freshly baked rolls -- one pumpernickel onion, one multigrain with large chunks of nuts and fruit and one cheese roll are tough to avoid even with the best of will power. The dessert selection is tempting from top to bottom. I was going to try something unique like the dulce de leche bread pudding but opted for the key lime pie instead which was splendid and one of the best I've ever tasted. Besides, key lime pie is kind of the unofficial dessert staple of Florida and now Prime 112 has become my official steak staple in South Beach.

    So for my birthday a group of us decide we will go to Prime 112. We made reservations, and when we got there they told us it would still be a 45 min wait??? WT? We finally get a table, and our waiter acted like we were wasting his time. None the less we order top line steak, seafood, bottles of Champagne, and a bottle of wine, and brought a cake for my birthday. Still we were treated like foster children. It wasn't until my friend broke out his American Express Black Card that their demeanor changed!? All of a sudden the manager and Chef came out to greet us, and low and behold, we got comped on a bottle of champagne and desert (my cake). Food was good, don't know if it was worth the money? If you want to sit next TV personality then this place is for you, only if your famous also??! Good luck!

    Visiting Miami and the guys in our group love to eat steak so quick search on Yelp listed Prime 112 at the top of the list. We called in the afternoon to make a reservation and they were able to accommodate our party of 10. Some highlights were the Lobster Mac & Cheese and Caesar Salad. From there on we waited about one hour for our mains. Mind you, it was a Monday night but the place was still packed - absolute mad house. We we were served our mains, what was not so great was the steak. Yes, we were at a steak house and apparently one of finest of Miami. However, they failed not once, but 4 times. Four couples order the rib eye for 2. Not one of them were cooked to the right temperature. We sent them all back. This is a first for me, I have never seen a mess up like this. 3 of them overcooked and 1 of them undercooked - I was thinking, imagine if we had order the Kobe steaks. Anyhow, they returned our steaks and we were starving by then and finished them quickly. Upon reading the reviews. It seems like that Prime 112 is the type of place to see or to be seen type of place. This cannot be the best steak in town, but could be the best steak restaurant in Miami.

    Oh, simmer down you all! Yes, I agree the owners have done hell of a job on getting their name in every singe travel publication in the world in order to reel the crowds in... The designer Alison Antobus did an amazing job with mediocre space in hotel lobby; but common already!!! Do I need to point out the obvious: when if you add loads of BUTTER to anything and splatter it with creamy cheese on top of it - it would taste delicious? Well, yeah, it would! Lets just take a look at the patrons of this place: 80% of them are OVERWEIGHT & probably working on their second heart attack. America, please stop, open your eyes: you don't need to kill yourself I order to get a tasty, delicious meal, and for sure your mayo drenched salad doesn't need to resemble Mount Everest - it really is of unnecessary EPIC proportions! Stop following the herd and find your own way to satisfaction without sacrificing your health and your looks to BUTTER! Great places to explore: Milo's, Duraku, Wine Depot 555 (actually great restaurant with smaller portions, yet super delish. Great ambience, perfect for corporate gatherings or romantic dinner in the garden) . Good luck & Bon Appetite!

    This place was amazing! I'm so happy we decided to visit while in town. Service was great. Lobster mac is a must. The short ribs with greens & grits was the best I've ever had! And the bread pudding was to die for. Wish we had one in LA.

    Meh, this place is overrated. More about being seen than the actual food. Not worth the money either. The service is good and the scene and ambiance is good too but I'd rather spend my money on ridiculously delicious food than on "a scene". If I wanted a scene, I'd go to a bar or club.

    I just tried to make a reservation for 40 people for the end of May and was on hold for 15mins the first time and 20 mins the second time. The rude uneducated person that works for this establishment needs to be fired today. I will try my best to make sure that happens and will keep you posted.

    Can I leave a zero or no!? First off I made -9pm reservations but due to the rain it put them way far behind. Working in this industry has made me understand quite a bit. But I waited and waited and people got sat before us. Get it together Prime 112. expand to your growing needs. Also I might add that we are from out of town and this completely ruined our dinner plans. It's not like Miami is easy to get around, especially when it's pouring outside so by their lack of planning...which I still don't understand bc everyone can see the weather forecast, rain in Florida isn't out of the ordinary, it was almost 10pm by the time we left there so we just went back to our hotel. We would have for sure went some where else. The restaurant was for sure at capacity and they just kept letting people in, they should have called the patrons with reservations beforehand and let them know about the ridiculous wait. It's not rocket science.

    it's incredible all you have to wait to be seated even if you have a reservation. then getting a drink in the bar while waiting for our table is impossible, the only good thing is that they give you bacon. the food is delicious specially the filet mignon and the french onion soup along with the organic apple salad. it's expensive but the flavor is indescribable.

    Prime 112 has got to be the best restaurant we've ever been to! Although we arrived 15 minutes late for our reservation, the hostess seated us promptly and pleasantly. Our servers Matt and Kama were delightful, knowledgeable and professional! As soon as we sat down, we were served warm English cheddar, cranberry walnut and onion biscuits! Our water glasses were never half empty; the waitstaff was so very attentive without being obtrusive! My French onion soup was the best I've ever had and I was happy to learn that the secret to this savory broth was that the onions were sautéed in oxtail broth! Our chargrilled bone-in rib eye for two was cooked perfectly, and came with Bernadine and horseradish sauces, and our sides of lobster MacnCheese and grilled asparagus were also cooked perfectly! Everything was so delicious, we had to finish off the meal with the peanut butter and chocolate s 'mores - OMG so good and enough to feed 5 people easily! Portions here are generous, family style and every bite is as good as the first! From the servers, to the decor, to the menu, Prime 112 just gets it's right! Hands down, our new favorite steakhouse! Prime 112, if I could give you a 10 star rating, I would; You hit it out of the park on every single point! Thanks Kama and Matt for making our dining experience memorable and enjoyable!

    WARNING: If you're one of those people who saw this place and wanted to come here, please read this first, save your money, and find anywhere else to go. Unless you want a slim chance of spotting someone on the Heats. Don't waste your money here. I'm going to try to be nice and give this place 2 stars but honestly they deserve 1. When you pay this much for food, you expect non-dismissive service, friendly waiters, and a steak restaurant to actually be ... well frankly a steak house. Prime One Twelve does not live up to its name at all although nowhere can I find why exactly they have the name that they do. Apparently it's popularity derives from a number of Heat players dining here frequently and we believe we saw one ... but nobody knew who he was. I guess he wasn't that important? We made a reservation for 8:00pm and was not seated until 8:45pm. This seems to be the case here as the house is utter madness and even when you walk up to the hostess counter you are NOT acknowledged immediately unless you are tall, blonde or look rich as we observed from afar. Even after you wait patiently for over 5 minutes right in front of them as they tap their screens, and you quietly say "excuse me sir..." they shoot you a dirty look and say "hold on ok?" even though that was the first noise you made. Then there's the hostess that everyone complains about. I wonder if someone can get ahold of their reservation sheet where they write down descriptions of guests who show up. "Skinny blonde rich guy," "tall gold digger," "blue indian with asian." I understand they're trying to short hand so they can understand and identify folks ... but kind of out of line don't you think? Finally, after getting seated in a crammed hallway of traffic, we were constantly being bumped by waiters going by all night. Our waiter was initially nice, but after I asked him for my steak Medium Rare minus or Rare plus he lost his patience with me. Thus far, every steakhouse I have ever gone to as done medium rare minus or rare plus ... the plus and minus are things you can only get a steakhouses because they are supposed to know how to cook a steak. Our waiter ... he was flabbergasted that I even asked for something like this and said "no we don't do this at all, it's medium rare or rare make a choice." Wonderful. I picked medium rare, which is supposed to be warm pink center. Our food came and my steak was overcooked. He came by once to ask how things were and I was afraid to mention it despite having a $58 steak because it was clearly overdone, and I said ... this is a little too cooked for me. Again the loss of patience was clearly felt when he said "well do you want me to take it back or what?" Uh ... I don't know, aren't you supposed to offer? And I like how at the end they put two charges of $58 on the menu but "comp'd" one .... as if they gave me something extra when really they were unable to properly cook a steak despite what their namesake suggests. In general, its seems like they just don't know how things should be cooked since pretty much everything was overcooked. I got a $30 foie gras dish, and they managed to overcook it and did not bring it out with any toast. Yes toast is not often paired with hot seared foie gras but the way they presented it, they really looked like they made it for some toast but there was none. I was hesitant to ask for any just in case the waiter might shoot me a dirty look as well. The rest of the meal was relatively uneventful. The appetizers were alright, the sides were gigantic and salty and not at all as appetizing as $13 per side should have been, and my friend who is a slightly slower eater than the rest of us was asked not once, not twice ... but three times if he was done with his plate when it was clear he was still working on it. Why can't a man enjoy his steak? They really, seriously wanted us out of there despite incurring over $500 on our bill. I guess that doesn't make us good customers. Speaking of customers. This is clearly not a place for a foodie. Or anyone who likes steak in general. Oh and did I mention it's also insanely loud in here, so you would be hard pressed to carry on a conversation with someone next to you? Fail.

    We made a reservation in advance for a 9:30 seating. Upon arrival there was a long line at the entrance, I figured it was for non reservations and went straight up to the hostess station. After waiting 15 minutes just to get the hostesses attention I was told the line was for reservation check in. after going to the rear of the line and speaking to a lot of frustrated people that also had reservations, some from 2 hours prior. I also learned that the restaurant regularly overbooks reservations. A lot of people were on vacation from other states and were also leaving to seek another place to eat the same as we did. I do not recommend going to prime 112 if you actually want to sit and eat at the time you reserved. Made another reservation at a similar restaurant a few blocks away and was seated within 10 minutes of our arrival.

    Food Great, Service Good but the process to check in and be seated, POOR at best. Waited over 2 hours for a 9pm resy....but its just the way it was handeled as much as waiting...they just are not organized..why take resy???? Food and sides were above average,, so its was still good.

    Given all the hype around this restaurant, we decided to try it because hey, we love a good steak. We made a reservation for 9 p.m. and were fashionably late, and arrived at 9:30 p.m. We did have to wait, about 15-20 minutes to be seated and that included me being in front of the hostess stand to ensure they didn't forget about us. This definitely helped, or I'm sure we would've been forgotten. My friend and I both ordered an 8 oz. filet with a side of asparagus and scalloped potatoes. We ordered our steak medium, and when we received them, the outside had a delicious char/crust, seriously SO good and the inside, well could've been a little more medium. I will now always order my steak medium-well. Service was OK. Nothing earth shattering to mention. I probably won't return to this place, considering it didn't shock me, or give me the urge to return. My favorite steak places are in Vegas and So. Cal, for a reason, because they know how to deliver. Price tag was about $75 a person and we didn't order any alcohol.

  • Robert V.

    Four stars for the food; two stars for the service. After scanning through a few of the reviews, I realize this may sound a bit redundant; however, if I have a 9:30PM appointment for an upscale restaurant, it's unacceptable for them to make me and my girlfriend wait until 10:30PM especially on a Tuesday. The food was great--I can't complain; however, Peter Lugers and Wolfgangs in New York have superior porterhouse in my opinion. I've been here twice and I do not feel compelled to come back anytime soon. When I pay a premium, I care less about a trendy place to eat and more about the quality of the food and the ambience. To the dj--I know every song Jay-Z ever made; but, I don't want to hear only Jay-Z songs when I'm spending $300 on a nice night out. Class it up a bit!

    3 words: do not go! First you have to wait in a line with a velvet rope to check in for your reservation! A velvet rope at a restaurant? Seriously. We had reservations for a week! Then they take down your physical description and don't tell you they're going to text you when your table is ready. You wait anywhere there's room in the restaurant like a herd of cows. We left and they texted an hour after our reservation. How can there possibly be quality food, service and food safety?! Puke.

    What people says about this place out there its true, the service its great, the hostesses are very welcoming, and the server was amazing, also the staff as bussers and runners. The server recommended some dishees and he was right, the bone in ribeye its perfect to share for a couple, and the sides too, the ceviche was spicy on its point, and I dont even have words to describe the fried oreos. I even met colombian football star Falcao, It was a perfect night. Keep it up like that, Im gonna spread my voice.

    I read many good reviews and had some recommendations to come here, So we made it a priority to come here during our visit. We made reservations, and when we arrived, they made us walk around everywhere! cause they don't know where the table is, ended up on the patio in the front. so we were a bunch of hungry girls by dinner time, We ordered a chop salad (very large), it was only OK, too much dressing. they recommended a lobster mac and cheese, so we got 2, it was horrible, no lobster taste and it is just a mac and cheese, for $25 each. they charge extra for sauces and butter etc for your steak there was a Oscar sauce $15 extra, got it on the filet Mignon and it was not worth the $15 extra sauce. we got prime rib, different cuts of steak, bone in, porter house etc. They could not get "medium rare" correctly and when we told the server, she was obnoxious and did not apologize and said it must be the lighting, she put the candle up to it and it was almost a 70% cooked steak! so she unwillingly took it back to get a new steak, no apologies either. other sides was the asparagus which was large and crunchy, also the lobster bisque for $25 was worth it, it had a very good flavor and lot s of lobster. we had a chicken dish, which was very dry and the skin was oily, the salmon was super dry also. It was a bad day overall, slow service and horrible food, also the red wine she recommended to go with the steak was just expensive and didn't work out too well. and we still gave her EXTRA tips on top of the 18% automatic gratuity that was included, she should be happy, but that is the END of it. For anyone going to SoBe, I would never recommend this to friends, just cause it's expensive does NOT mean the food is good! I've had MUCH better steal from the Keg back in Canada.

    Okay admittedly we went on a Saturday night (could only get 10 pm reservations through our hotel concierge) so by the time we got there it was a full on scene. Crazy madhouse scene and for that I had to remove a star since the experience of fighting just to get to the hostess to check in was enough to stress anyone out. We waited about 20 mins post reservation time to get a table outside and once seated the experience was very good. Exceptional, and I mean as good as any 5 star but more pretentious steak house exceptional. Very large and very good side potions and friendly and attentive service. Too stuffed to try the fried Oreos but so wanted to....next time. Great place with fantastic Sobe people watching... just be prepared for the scene.

    Went tonight bit of a let down, don't belive the hype!Definitely not worth the money.Food was ok wasn't blown away.Not a place to go if you want a romantic intimate dinner .The place is a bit crammed (table wise).service was very good. I would recommend this place for a late lunch/early dinner.

  • Evan B.

    Second time at 112. First time was great (service, food, overall experience). This time the food was 3.5 stars and service was 3 stars. I had 7:00 res and just gave up and took an outside table at 8:00 after waiting in cramped bar area for an hour. The drinks were pretty bad. Very very weak pour. Basically dropping $300 on dinner comes with certain expectations which were not met.

    Tonight we came to have a nice dinner. Right off the bad things went bad for us. My husband is allergic to shellfish so I asked if they keep the frying oil in two different fryers and I was told no. I then asked if the chef could make some fried green tomatoes in a pan and I was told no, they aren't allowed to make exceptions. COME ON were spending a fortune here and you cant accommodate someone with a life threatening allergy? So he just ordered the rib eye and he gave it a 5 out of 10. The bummer for the rest of us was all the sides we ordered came out cold including the Bernaise sauce. We didn't get a break on the dinner, we paid for everything and left after desert. The last straw for my husband was he asked for cinnamon on his cappuccino and was told we don't have any? Really, with all the deserts you make you cant round up something in the kitchen? The bottom line is you need to make accommodations, not everything is by the book when it comes to customers. The wait staff was told something by the kitchen and instead of going to the manager and asking for something the answer was just no with a laugh. We will spend any amount of money on a great meal, this was not worth the money and I will never go back

    I felt like a sardine in a can here, there was very little room between the tables which led to a logjam of people and waiting staff lingering around our table waiting to pass. Worse still is getting bumped into by passing people while you're seated. Every restaurant has every right to squeeze all the profit out of their floorspace but this is ridiculous. In a word: overcrowded. I would say this is a pretty standard steak place with a few quirks. They serve bacon strips up as nibbles along with a bread basket. The bread was interesting too - three different varieties, a cheese bread, another with what I presume was onion in the centre and another like a chunk of fruit loaf. I think another reason this place is quite highly rated is for people watching, apparently it is frequented by a number of celebrities. I started with the crab cake which was served with sweetcorn which was pretty good, plenty of meat and virtually no filler. We tried the 12oz Fillet Mignon (for a change) and the 22oz bone in ribeye along with the creamed sweetcorn and a baked potato. The fillet was fantastic - I usually have the NY Strip but decided on a change. The ribeye was a little fatty and I was surprised at how much bone and fat was left over, I would stay there was a good 8oz of fat and bone left. The baked potato was covered in sea salt and made it way too salty but easy to remedy by scraping it off. The service was excellent, our server tried to push further menu choices but we were stuffed. If it wasn't for the fact that every 5 minutes someone bumped into me or brushed past me then I would have rated this higher. Next time I am in town we'll try Gotham at the Fontainebleau to see how it compares.

    This place was decent, but didn't even live close to the hype and popularity. Heard that there are huge lines for this place on Friday and Saturday so we went Sunday with a reservation for 10. We had 13 or 14 show up so they were not too happy about that. I'm not a huge fan of steakhouses, but somehow got my expectations set extremely high for this one (not sure how that happened given I haven't been impressed by some of the best steakhouses in Texas and places famous for their meat). We shared food so I tried a number of the different cuts and I'd say they were all just about par with what you'd expect at any nice steakhouse. Maybe I'm just partial because I think the way I cook good steak tastes way better and holds in way more of the juice then any of these steakhouses. Lastly service was extremely slow. Wasn't a problem for us because we had an awesome group so could have hung out there all night (which we pretty much did). Two redeeming qualities were the Mojitos and the wine. Both fantastic. I've probably been overly harsh on this place, overall was a great experience. Consider this 2 star rating just a reflection of the taste of the food and nothing else.

  • Neda S.

    Don't waste your time here. Even with reservations you have to wait 2-3 hours for your table and the food is really mediocre. I really feel bad for the employees here because people are constantly yelling at them because of the wait. By the time anyone gets their table everyone is so frustrated that you kinda lose your appetite. The bone-in filet is fancy and all, but really not that good. The cool thing is the bacon they have in cups by the bar... but just that is not worth going. Plenty of other places that are much better!

    Yes it is great. One downfall is they overbook this place. I also I had dinner inside reather than the patio. Mac & Cheese is to die for. Also Bacon at the bar is so good.

    Food is good but definitely more a place to see and be seen. The portions are huge, but the food is definitely over priced. The place looks more like a night club than an eating establishment. Although the meat, and lobster bisque are great, I would consider going else where if I am to enjoy a calm meal. This place is beautiful but too trendy for my taste. The owners also have prime Italian across the street, I suggest going there if you are set on trashing here, same menu, same prices, but a tad more intimate. A one shot deal for me!

    Prime 112- as usual you never fail to amaze me. This being my 3rd or 4th time to this restaurant, I've come to terms with the ridiculous wait times (even with a reservation). Last night was not any different, but my friend and I waited our turn patiently at the bar with dirty martinis and the delicious bacon served as bar snacks. 90 minutes later we were seated and were ready to eat. We spilt a wedge salad, which was very large and delicious. We also settled on a bone in filet and a side of truffle Mac. All served quickly and prepared well. We finished off with the most amazing fried Oreos I've ever had. I now regret never ordering them in the past. Overall the atmosphere screams money and caters to the well heeled, but if you don't mind the attitude or the semi judgmental looks, you will enjoy your dining experience.

    My fiance and I went to Prime 112 for dinner tonight to celebrate our engagement a few days ago. While the food and drink were exceptional, the service was poor enough to knock it down to 3 stars. First, the good news: the steaks are wonderful, and well worth the price. So far as I know, this is the only place in the metro Miami area (that is, excluding Bourbon Steak in Aventura) that has dry-aged steaks. It really does make a difference: the delicious nutty, somewhat blue-cheesey flavor was delectable, and several standard deviations better than even your usual high end steak. We had the 48 oz. porterhouse, and it was the perfect combination of crusty on the outside and rare on the inside. But the deliciousness of the steak didn't entirely make up for the unpleasantness of the service. To preface, my fiance is quiet and more introverted, while I am an extrovert. (Opposites attract, right?) As a former server myself, I like to interact with my server, ask their advice, and generally figure out for myself what I'd like to eat. And since food and wine are a passion of mine, I tend to be a bit better informed about the wine list. Thus, I usually handle the wine ordering and tasting. This was NOT ok with our server, apparently. First, he only addressed my fiancé. Then, the moment my fiancé said I would taste the wine because I had ordered it (from the wonderful sommelier), he went completely cold. Throughout the rest of the meal, he was perfectly attentive, but only asked the perfunctory "how are things tasting," with zero hospitality. The final straw -- the one that prompted me to write this review -- was when our server asked about dessert. "Here," he said, handing me the only menu, "you can just tell him what he wants." When he returned to ask for our orders, he asked, "so, what is he gonna get?" So, now, I answer his question honestly: nothing, asshole. And not because we weren't down for dessert, but because we didn't want to give another dime to or spend another moment with your rude, sexist ass. If this is the quality of service, Prime 112 can and ought to do better.

    I chose this place to go for my 12th anniversary with my husband, curious to see if it was just another hyped up overpriced South Beach trend or a really good steakhouse worthy of the long waits and $60 steaks. Supposedly former President Clinton loves Prime 112, so I decided to check it out to see if he liked it for the steaks or (more likely) the half dozen hostesses in high heels and spandex. Unlike a lot of the other reviewers here, we didn't have to wait, maybe that's because we chose to visit on a Monday night, but we were seated within 5 minutes of arriving for our reservation. We started with some drinks, the key lime martini and some mango/chili/lime concoction. Both were phenomenal, very well mixed, and interesting flavors. We ordered a few side dishes and apps as well (mac n' cheese, creamed corn and oysters) and a steak. Surprisingly, the mac n' cheese and creamed corn were absolute perfection, but the steak was really nothing special. We ordered it medium-rare and it was light pink inside, brown on the outside and though I'm not a chef, I'm pretty sure that's medium. If a restaurant sells itself as a top notch a steak house, at the very least, they should know how to cook a steak. I will probably go to Prime 112 again, but I'll likely skip the steak because it really wasn't worth $70. The sides and drinks on the other hand were really delicious, and completely worth the very high prices ($13 for a side dish!).

    There are tons of mixed reviews on here as expected. I'm almost certain you could have two completely kinds of experiences at this restaurant which would lead to said reviews. If you're unfamiliar with the hype, you won't expect the long wait. If you're put off by the glamor and glitz, you won't appreciate the appeal. Prime One Twelve is a special place for many reasons, one of which is the atmosphere it creates. Its as close to a South Beach club as any restaurant will get. Myles (the owner) is infatuated with Jay-Z and loves to "dress" the room up with notable guests. You'll find a handful of A-listers at any given time during its peak hours. Some people dig that and because of that you are paying a slightly higher premium than your average steak dinner. It's not the best steak you'll ever have. I'm not even sure if its the best steak in South Beach, but it is the best experience you'll have if you do it right. Make reservations in advance and specifically ask to be seated inside. Not inside at the hotel or inside right when you walk in, I'm talking the dining room area. That is where the action is. That is the center stage and if you're shelling out a few hundred dollars (and you will) you might as well make it worth it. The food is very good. From the appetizers, the French onion soup to the meats. The desserts are fantastic too. While the concept of Fried Oreos isn't new, Prime 112 perfected the simplicity of this new age phenomenon as the perfect finish to your night. Prime 112 is a treat so make sure you experience it the way it should be done. You'll have a great time people watching. You'll eat great food and for the few hours you're there you'll feel like you're right in the mix of it.

    Overall ok experience. Trendy looking restaurant. Had made a reservation for a Fri night and the wait time was about an hour and was seated outside. Bread and mac and cheese are delicious! Keep in mind the serving size of the SIDES and some salads are Family Style. Worth one time visit.

    Do not dine here if any member of your party has food allergies. Not only do they fry in peanut oil but also encrust many of their meats, unspecified on the menu, in nuts like their lamb chops (walnuts). We called ahead to make sure they'd be able to accommodate us as we have many food allergies including dairy, soy, gluten, peanuts and they said it wouldn't be a problem. When we arrived however it was a completely different story. My family and I decided to leave after being told by the manager that we'd be unable to order most items. It would have been nice to have been told this before we paid for valet, sat down and ordered wine. The manager did take care of the wine which we appreciated greatly, but I only wish we had been given more accurate info on the phone. If you do not have food allergies, I'm sure prime 112 is a great option! As for my family, we will not be back.

    Me and my wife spent the tail end of our honeymoon in Miami. We heard so much about this place we had to try it. the line was out the door but we stuck with it and had the pleasure to be served by Danielle. What a great one. We will never forget her. the food was superior but the service was out of this world. we will be forever grateful for Danielle's service and hospitality. If you go...ask for her. You wont regret it.

    Went there for lunch today, four adults & the only apps we had were 3 shrimp @ $9 each, oyster Rockefeller & a wedge salad, the rest of our meal were entrees & cocktails - 3 each & yet our bill was $460!!!!!!! Before tip mind you....... As for the service, very basic & nothing to write home about & she was sure not to mention that the Oscar sauce was $15 a pop, on top of a $60 ribeye because even though they have Prime Rib on the lunch menu it's ONLY served for diner. Would we go back there again, I think not!!! We could've ate at the Ritz & still came home with change. Save your money & don't only believe the good reviews. Trust me you've been warned!!!! P.S. Valet , 2 hours = $26

    I had such high expectations for one the nation's best steakhouses. But alas, setting high expectations that are barely ever met is what I do best. To begin with, the service was TERRIBLE. The servers were dry and unfriendly. (Considering how much you're paying for your food and drinks you'd think you'd be treated like royalty), but I guess since gratuity is included the need to be courteous is null and void. We also felt rushed the entire time. Toward the end of our meal when our plates were cleared, we were still talking and finishing up our last sips of wine--they were so desperate to get us out, the busser practically took my water glass from my hand. I had to raise my voice at him (something I never do) and tell him I was not done. SO RUDE. The food left little to be desired. Here's what I tried: Shrimp cocktail: They're huge, fresh, and delicious. But shrimp are shrimp and I can't believe we paid $9 for each one. Meatball with ricotta: The most delicious thing I tried. It's the size of a softball and so flavorful and melts in your mouth. Lobster Mac & cheese: Nothing extraordinary, but good. I would not recommend ordering it as a meal (as I did), it's a very rich and heavy dish. Chicken & waffles: Enormous portion, but still $32 for subpar chicken and waffles. Do you know how cheap (and delicious) chicken and waffles are in LA and Atlanta? Kobe beef burger: Kobe is the best beef in the world. Not sure Prime is doing it right though. Very dry and very flavorless even though I ordered it medium. Ribeye on bone steak: Steak. period. Crab cake: It was ok. Very small portion compared to everything else. Crispy french fries: Greasy and salty and not even in a good way. Fried oreos: Lives up to all the hype, in my opinion. They have an Oreo brownie taste and cakey texture. As you can tell, everything was a hit or miss. Will I be back? Not even if I'm treated to my entire meal. I'd be happier picking up some Shake Shack and eating it on the beach. But then again, that's just me. Side note: I'm also not a fan of the way the hostesses present themselves. We get it. They've won in the genetic lottery. It's Miami. But must they wear so much makeup and strut around in barely there outfits? Some restaurants are still stuck with the archaic mindset that sex sells. Ps. No sightings of LeBron or Wade. Major womp.

    One of the best meals I've had in a long time. The steak was spectacular. The service was impeccable. The truffle fries were scrumptious. Yes, it's pricey but worth it-you get what you pay for!

    Perfect dinner!!!! Could be the best one I've ever had!!! Tacking into consideration the size of portion which is pretty big price are quite acceptable

    I ate here last weekend for a bachelor dinner. We waited quite a long time for our table (30 min) but I guess that's the norm at this place. I had heard good things and I was happy with the result. We split a few salads and had several steaks sliced up for all to share. I hope to go back with a smaller group to try other dishes.

    I recently took my Mom here for her birthday, and we had an amazing meal. We shared the arugula salad, we both had the 8oz filet mignon, and we had asparagus and Parmesan truffle fries. The food was great, but I wish I had known beforehand about the portion sizes, which are unusually large and meant for sharing in large groups. Our waiter did not fully explain this to us either, except to suggest we change which salad we ordered bc the one we originally wanted was meant for eight people to share. That said, I think this restaurant is better suited for groups of four or more as opposed to intimate dinners. Had we known, we wouldn't have ordered the fries, which could've fed eight people. Also, when I called to make a reservation, the hostess was very rude on the phone - she immediately told me we could go either before 7 or after 930 and I hadn't even told her our party size. Our waiter also didn't provide the best service or explain the portions to us - but I think he was a bit overwhelmed as he was taking care of the entire porch section.

    Great bone in ribeye and au gratins. Went there around 730 pm with our young children and had a great time!!! Thought it would be full of snooty hipsters but instead it was full of really nice hipsters!! Service and food were excellent and not too expensive either. We'll be back.

    Prime 112 is Miami institution, just like Joe's. It's a see and be seen kind of place, with prices to match. I'd never been jonesing to spend a boat-load of cash on a meal that I'd heard mixed reviews about, but a good friend heard the guys on PTI (that's Pardon the Interuption on ESPN, for all you non-sports aficianados) talk about it, he'd been on my case to hit it up on his next visit down here. We had originally made reservations for a Saturday night, but by the time it rolled around, it was pouring rain outside, and neither of us were in the mood for it. Instead, we went back for an early dinner on Sunday, without a reservation. At that time, our options were to sit outside (it was raining again) or at the bar. We opted at the bar. And I really think that made our dining experience a winner. First of all, the bar snack is bacon! Yes, that's right, bacon. As much as you want, at no extra charge! Score!! Their drink selection is pretty awesome, and the prices aren't too bad (about typical for South Beach). I opted for their specialty mai tai, and it was fruity and refreshing. My friend just had some high-end rum, cause that's his thing (Ron Zacapa, maybe). For dinner, we opted to split a soup (tomato-basil) and salad (beets, arugula, and goat cheese croutons) for starters. They were both out-of-this-world good. I could probably eat that salad every day for the rest of my life (or a month, at least!). We opted to split the small filet mignon as our entree, and ordered the creamed spinach and parmesan gratin potatoes as sides. The steak was cooked to medium-rare perfection. There was a nice crust on the outside, and the meat itself was melt-in-your-mouth good. My friend insisted on ordering the house steak sauce, but I didn't try it, cause I'm a firm believer that a good cut of meat needs no additions. Unfortunately, we were way too full for dessert, but a group of people down the bar from us ordered the fried oreos and the bread pudding, and they both looked and smelled amazing! Definitely a must for next time. I don't know if I'd come back for a full-on meal, as I think you can get as good (or better) of a steak elsewhere for less money. But I'll definitely be back to try the desserts, and to get some more bacon at the bar!

    Im a steak lover and frequent many steak houses but I was impressed with this particular location. The place is in the east side of the south beach area. The aerea is under heavy high rise construction , but dont let the dust fool you. This is a special place. To start as soon as you come in you are treaty with smiles and hellos, a rarety in today's establishments. You go from super sunny day to a cool crisp dining area, well design and with the smartest decorations and accents. Truly respectable place. As we sit Rashaun , our waiter , was nice and we ordered 2 champagnes for a celebrating toast between my wife and I. I glanced at the menu, pretty clear and full of things that I dont normally see like Escargot and Deviled eggs. I ordered my favorite oysters Rockefeller. My wife had the devils eggs. Bread was awesome with a good variety and hummm butter real butter. The service , well I have to say perfect. I mean everyone down to the other waiters, water boys and bus boys , all very nice. The appetizers Menu was so good I decided I needed four sure to come back for more. I order ed a bone in filet and my wife a filet mignon sandwich and 2 glasses of Cav .the food was awesome steak perfect and the tater tots wow. Her sandwich hummm. Best darn lunch ive had. If you cant get in at night come early they open at 12pm and still busy and trendy. What a place. Ps: bacon on Rockefeller oysters wow I saw someone gave this a one star WOW. This must be a mistake cause I experienced the best in this place. Mistakes do happen and I agree can be corrected. It I must imagine the food was delicious regardless. A one star? I think this place is very original and full of flavors and. A daring steak house for that. All I can say. Is I want more!

    Most disappointing review/meal. Went for Valentine's Day dinner, 7pm reservation, not seated until 8:30pm and then only after literally refusing to "check back in 10 minutes" for the 4th time and standing at the reception desk. Staff couldn't have cared less about our reservation not the dozens of others who sat pissed off in the tiny/overcrowded bar or entrance. Clearly they WAY overbooked the place, just making most Diners miserable on entrance. In any event, the service/Waiter were solid, but he most disappointing part was the food. Ordered a bone-in ribeye, was inferior cut, more fat than meat and among worst ribeyes I've had in a long time. Rest of dishes were unremarkable at best. For what you pay to eat here its a massive ripoff.

  • Dan D.

    Verdict: The best restaurant in South Beach right now. Great vibe, great looking people, great food. They serve bacon like a bread basket or chips in a regular restaurant!! Recommendation: Seafood Tower, Filet Mignon, Chocolate Desserts, pretty much anything on the menu.

  • Richard B.

    Had a 9 PM reservation waited for over an hour to be seated. They took my cell number to call me when a table was available and never called. So we left. There are to many good restaurants in Miami to eat at to be treated like that. Prime 112 has been in business long enough you would think that they would have there act together. I'll never go back again.

  • Krista V.

    I'm sort of a Cap Grille whore. I think their steaks are la creme de la creme. But I was VERY happy with our meal at 112. The cocktails were wonderful (especially the mango martini), the service was excellent, and the steak was delicious. The deep-fried Oreos sort of put me over the edge, but everything else was magnifique. Would love to return.

    OK, first this IS the place to see and be seen. The crowd was absolutely amazing. From the hostess to the dinner guests, everywhere you looked you saw beautiful women. From that perspective, the place was a 10. But as far as being with the money as a restaurant ... it is just a 3 (in my book). First, the place is crowded. A friend (another guy) and I were sat at a small table for 2 (got it there were 2 of us ... but we're both big guys who workout) that was barely out of a walkway. Made for a great way to check out people coming and going, but didn't make for a great dining experience. I was also surprised from the start to see that they had a very limited (and unimaginative) beer list. Great wines, but beers you'd fine anyplace. Our waiter had a great personality and was attentive ... but he got several things wrong. First, when we ordered the steaks he forgot to talk with us about the sauces and butter accompaniments (which was a big reason I chose to take my friend there to eat). So, we got that stuff after the fact ... and it didn't add to the meal. Also, he gave us the wrong side dish (which he fixed but only after we both about choked on some rather bitter broccoli). The real let down was the quality of the meat itself. I ordered a New York Strip instead of the Ribeye (their signature steak) because I like a leaner cut of meat. But still, there was a lot of fat on the New York Strip and the texture was not what I would have expected for a $50 steak. We did have appetizers (again, what we had was OK and what you'd fine a lot of different places). Overall, I say it is OK ... but Trulock's (which I notice has a higher rating on Yelp) is truly much better (and a better value). They say that Prime 112 is one of the most expensive places in Miami (and I guess they are right), but not worth the money (based upon what I had last night).

    Totally hyped restaurant but for good reason: the food is AMAZING and the service is impeccable. Pricey but worth every penny. Dress to impress and make a reservation WELL in advance, at least several weeks if you're able.

  • Stephen S.

    Prime 112 is the best restaurant on South Beach - period. It is very expensive - and worth it. The steaks are beyond belief ( only Bern's in Tampa was better IMHO ) and the side dishes are huge and AMAZING. It is one of my favorite restaurants.

    Be ready for a long wait! We had reservation for 8pm on Fri night. Arrived on time, waited in the super crowded bar area, sustained ourselves on drinks and bacon (yes, bacon) strips at the bar for at least an hour before we got seated in the back of the restaurant. Later, we heard that this is the norm, call ahead to reserve so you can at least stand a chance of getting seated, but the wait is usually another hour once you get to the restaurant. Since this place is known for meat, we all got some version of steaks (one piece of meat served with a whole roasted garlic head) and shared family style side dishes, salad, truffle fries and asparagus. The meats were good, but not amazing. The side dishes were very yummy, but the most impressive were the desserts! Key lime pie, the gigantic Snicker cake and freshly made donuts complete with two types of dippings! Since the wait for table was so long, you can guess that service at the table was not fast either. Our dinner lasted from 9:30pm to 1am (with lots of waiting in between), good thing the waiter was friendly and pleasant to deal with. :)

    Oh gosh, I don't understand why this place isn't in a larger building. They literally have seats in every crevice and hallway possible. I was surprised not to find tables on the stairs! While I expected the restaurant to be crowded, I didn't think I needed to be ready for combat. It was absolutely chaotic in the foyer/ front desk area. There was no one available to welcome me to the restaurant and once I reached the desk, not one of the four people scrambling behind the desk bothered to greet meet and offer any assistance. For a restaurant of this "caliber" I frankly expected more. I mean, my gawd, how hard is it to "Good evening ma'am, welcome to Prime One Twelve. How may I help you?" Geesh!! Anyways, once I told them what I was there for, the manager, I'm assuming, directed one of the hostesses to show to my party's dining area - which happened to only be accessible after we walked outside of the restaurant around Prime Hotel and into some side door. While I dined with a friend and her family for her 25th birthday celebration we were visited both at the beginning and end of the meal by uninvited roaches. WTF?! All this freaking money and you have the audacity to have such a ridiculous pest control problem. There really is no excuse for that ridiculousness. They did comp some beverages to make up for the intrusion, but yo... c'mon son! I hope those roaches are only present in the dining area because it would be so unfortunate if all of that delicious and ridiculously expensive food was contaminated as well. I ordered the $43 jumbo lump crab crusted grouper w/ wilted spinach and horseradish butter and it was absolutely delightful. Another guest in our party ordered the signature salad that was quite simply not built for one man alone. Many of their entrees and side orders can and should (if you ask me) be split, so that might help to compensate for their prices. It's kind of up in the air if I'll return anytime soon, so yea... that's all I've got.

    We came here for my boyfriends birthday - we were a bit nervous at first since we basically packed shorts and bathing suits to come to Miami Beach - we thought this place may be a bit too "fancy" for us. However, we were pleased to see a mix of people - although it is definitely jaded toward higher end. Our reservation was at 8pm on a Monday, and when we left about 10pm there were a lot of people waiting in the lobby, and they were more Louboutins and linen suits, so if you go later, prepare to dress or you may feel out of place. The food was excellent - they offer an extensive menu of all kinds of food - you could have anything from caviar to mac and cheese. The prices were high, but comparable to anything on Ocean Drive, and the quality of the food, drinks, and service was so so much more. It gets very crowded - I wouldn't even think to come here without a reservation - and you should be prepared to wait even with one - but the atmosphere is fun and it's certainly worth it!

    Above & Beyond Saturday night me & 16 friends had dinner at Prime. My experience at Prime 112 was hands down the best dinning experience I have ever had and I am not just talking about the food. Of course the food was amazing, from the Kobe meatball, to the lobsters and fillet migeon, but the food was a distant 2nd to the service. Every want & need was address in seconds all with perfect personality from those who were taking care of us. When ordering, go crazy with vegetable sides. I love a good Manhattan but you should really stick with the wine menu at this place. The steaks are perfect. Cut & cooked perfectly with no fuss or frills that other gimmicky joints my add to over compensate. Thank you Prime 112. When I return to Miami, I will not leave without stopping by.

    I read the reviews and couldn't believe they would make people wait over an hour with a reservation......................we'll it happened to me. We had a 7:30 reservation and at 9:00 got disgusted and left. This is a restaurant doing well but with no respect for their customers. I will never go back. I guess I learned to believe these reviews. Go to this restaurant if you want to go out to eat in place that truly couldn't care about you. There are way too many quality restaurants in south beach to have to be subjected to that disrespect

  • Joel S.

    Good food, not spectacular as the high prices would suggest. More of a place with good people watching with the ridiculous getting done up for a night of looking important. Had a reservation for dinner - when we shows up we we're told it would be a two hour wait for our table. Either reservations don't matter here, or they get off on making people wait. The food is good, but not worth the prices or the pretentious way the place is run.

    I came in today at 4 p.m. to pick up a gift certificate for $200 for a friend who recently did us a big favor. I tied up my little dog outside by the entrance and went in. The hostess was not friendly just,"how much" and she disappeared for a few minutes and a " she'll be right back" and then nothing. Employees bustled around me without a hello or any kind of acknowledgement. After ten minutes, I was like this is enough. I asked Ms. Ignore the Customer if the woman knew I was waiting and her reply was yes and she looked away. With that I was out the door, and untying my dog. Within moments the door flew open a nice enough woman greeted me but I said "It was too late!" It wasn't just the wait, it was the lack of humanity that I felt waiting there! Is it so hard to train employees to be nice to people? Wow, what a difference when I walked into Red, the Steakhouse around the corner. A guy was interviewing someone and when he saw me, he jumped up, with a friendly greeting, can I get you pooch some water? My dog would have died of dehydration at Prime! I had my gift certificate within 5 minutes, was greeted warmly by the manager, and two other employees and was on my way! See my previous review to know that I like the FOOD at Prime One Twelve very much. They just really need to get a hold of their Employees are the Stars, not the lowly customers attitude. Customers should be treated a lot better or they do not come back. Which reminds me, about a month ago, we could not get into One Twelve so we walked across the street as suggested to Prime Italian, which I don't like as much but we were hungry. Now mind you we had no plans of an expensive meal. We live at the Continuum, one block away and it was a spontaneous, let's go have a great steak dinner at Prime One Twelve kinda deal We did not want to sit inside because it is way too noisy. The hostess said there was a wait for outside that we would have to wait at the bar. Wrong thing to say to hungry guys at 9 p.m.. We said forget it and walked away. Suddenly, she said there was a table. Wow, magic! We said too late, we are going to Red, the Steakhiuse!

    I loved, loved, loved this place. Although it is practically on South Beach it is at least a block away from all the chaos, yet you get to have all the people-watching fun if you get an outside seat. First of all, unlike all of our previous dinning experiencies through out this vacation; the staff was polite, patient and amazing, even going the extra mile to recommend a great place for lunch for the following day. They knew their wine list and were not pushing us to buy the most expensive bottles but the ones closest to our taste buds. The food items, sadly were a hit or miss. I loved my short rib but my sisters didnt enjoy their lamb as much. Let me tell you however that their price-portion ratio is more than fair because all their apps and side dishes are great to share. Chanterelle mushrooms!!!! You have to have them. Skip the mac and cheese...it was definitely a miss Will totally be back, hopefully in the summer when Miami is bubbling with people from all over.....that be fun. PS: this is a classy place so no micro skirts with your butt hanging out....no, no. Think more like pressed linen pants or a nice flowy dress with strappy sandals :)

    This place is great for a date, nothing else. Maybe corporate parties and such but other than that this place is way overly confusing. The music that was being played while I was eating was hip hop and rap. What 4 or 5 star resturaunt really plays this while trying to have a superb meal. The choices and selections of meat are great, the food is great. Do not get the sliders. Way too expensive & all it is is meat & a little bun. Go here for drinks and for the ambiance. Pretty much it! But then again Im a very LA guy so this wasnt a great spot for me. Try Clevelanders or Mango!

  • Nick S.

    I believe this "steakhouse" is part of a handful of restaurants that are part of the "Prime" hotel at South Beach on Miami Beach. Over the course of a two week business trip I have dined at many so called steakhouses. This maybe the better of the trip but not anywhere near the best or even good. I am not one to struggle to finish a steak - I had to here. I ordered the 20oz New York. Good piece of meat, cooking was not bad but nothing to write home about. I would say the price does not equal the quality but quantity. You order all your options individually (the sides are large enough to split,...seriously). For example, pick the steak, chicken, fish, etc. Then sides salads, potatoes, vegetables, etc. Try the "Arugula Salad with Roasted Beets, Goat Cheese Croutons & Aged Balsamic", not for the arugula but for the goat cheese croutons. In addition, you do pay for the setting and scenery, but that is expected - i.e. the beach and the people attractions. All in all, take a date try the dishes (the extras not the steak) the restaurant is known for, including desserts. Make a reservation or you sit outside.

    Yes it does get packed. Yes the restaurant is on the small side--so go any day BUT Saturday people! I visited Prime 112 on a few occasions. If you don't mind not being a part of the crowd, you can make a reservation to sit upstairs in a Private dining area. Like a bedroom converted. This was my first experience. It was AWESOME. There were five of us, and it was perfect. We had a bed, a shower, a bathroom, a dining room and a personal waiter. I recommend the skirt steak all the way. Juicy and delish! Each of us ordered one side and shared because they are VERY large. Creamed spinach-great, potato/apple compote - great, plantains - great. Nothing was less than awesome. Oh, I MUST mention the LOBSTER BISQUE. It was to DIE FOR! This is a MUST if you are visiting this place. I would say that there was at least 2 lobsters (meat chunks) in my bowl. The bowl was big enough for 2 people to eat, but I didn't share, and neither did Michelle. We both ate our bowls, steaks, and dessert! Michelle had ice cream with orchids - delish, I had Bananas Foster Cheesecake - Nothing like it on planet earth, Mark, Chris and Andy had deep fried Oreo's. Holy Heart Attack! Must I mention that we all were drinking heavily too?? Our drinks never were empty either. OUr bill was EXPENSIVE. But this was a night I will never forget! Great food with my BEST friends!

  • David R.

    Fantastic food, great ambiance, a place you go for a special occasion or with good friends. The meat is great, seafood great, the lobster mac with truffle is addictive. I've eaten here a dozen times and the experience is consistent and high-end each time. If I had to say anything negative it would be that even with a reservation the wait can sometimes be an hour on a busy weekend night. You will wind up wasted at the bar before you sit at your table so be careful on this. Being a regular, I have noticed they play the same music CD all the time but if you don't eat here as much as I do you will not notice this. I also had a great time and steak at RED Steakhouse just around the corner but I am giving Prime 112 5 stars.

    Terrible time just trying to get seated for our reservation, so bad we had to leave. Had 830 reservation, which they confirmed, showed up early, told to wait a few minutes before table was ready. 845 we were told they were running behind. 900 we checked again, told they were setting our table. 910 still not seated. 920 escorted out of the building, outside around the main dining room to a separate dining room. Asked to sit at a table way to small for our party and right next to the kitchen. Said the table was unacceptable, was offered no solution so we left. Based on my observations, place was overrated and if you want to sit at a reasonable time, regardless of reservation, you have to grease the host. No intention of trying to go back. Would give zero stars if possible.

    Wow... Best meal we've had in a long, long time. We typically go to the same places every time we come to Miami Beach, and now we have a new favorite! Ordered the flown-in-fresh raw ahi tuni (amazing), the tomahawk for 2 (cooked perfectly -- get the Prime 112 steak sauce although it doesn't need it, the sauce is awesome), Brussel Sprouts, and Sweet Mashed Potatoes (best ever -- could have has that for dessert). And our server (last name Kamanalagi) was attentive, helpful, professional and friendly. We would ask for him again. Not to mention that the restaurant has got to love him. He sold the "specials" so well we changed our mind what to order and spent twice as much as we would have! This is a don't miss in Miami Beach. Enjoy!

    Had reservations for 930 and got seated at midnight. Props for Gabriel and the rest if the bar staff. By the time we got out food it was over cooked and we were starving. So we ate it. Spent 500 for two people and left disappointed. Will go to Smith and Wollensky next time. Much better service food, atmosphere and wine.

    I have nothing negative to say about Prime one Twelve!!! I had an amazing experience and can't wait to make my next reservation. My boyfriend an I went last night and had a great time, which means a lot because we are very picky eaters . We arrived for our 10 30 reservation at 10. We checked in and they told us to wait by the bar. I ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio and the selection was good. The have glasses of bacon at the bar, so of course I grabbed a couple. Next, we ordered the Kobe Beef sliders. They arrived shortly and we dug in! They were well made. These burgers were so juicy, fresh, and the bread they used had a sweet flavor. I felt like I was having a grade A pastelito de carne! It came with grilled onions that were also cooked in a sweet sauce so it complemented the burger very well. We checked with the hostess around 10 42. We were expecting her to say that our table wasn't ready, especially reading all the other reviews, but we were seating right away after checking in. They brought our sliders to our table and our waiter greeted us with a humble demeanor. I was surprised since this is a high end restaurant, but he was very polite. We ordered: Lobster and jumbo shrimp cocktail( huge portion, very filling, very fresh) Steamed crab legs ( comes cracked with dipping butter) 8oz Filet Mignon ( very tender, lightly seasoned) Mash potato( garlic and a hint of something else I couldn't put my finger on, very creamy and a very large portion, enough for two) 14oz NY strip ( cooked perfectly, lightly seasoned) Lobster truffle Mac n Cheese( very rich, delicious combination of cheeses, enough for two, generous with the lobster) Servers were very attentive and everyone wished us a good evening! Overall it was a great experience and I recommend this place to someone who likes to go to trendy upscale places for high quality food. The prices were high but your getting what you pay for, great service and great food!

    Decent tuna fish flown in from Hawaii but that was the only reason this place deserves a star. Poor service for one thing. Plan on waiting over an hour from reservation time until being seated. Then let me tell you the steak was terrible. Ordered medium rare but ended up with the toughest overdone ribeye I've ever had. If I had this steak in Chicago I would have gotten up and left. Hopefully the seafood is better? Oh and too add insult to injury the general manager was very rude. Don't come here unless you want spend money for nothing!

    Prime 112's food is good. Great steaks, but over-seasoned sides (too much butter, cheese, truffles, etc, mask flavors and overwhelm your tongue.) We had reservations for 10 PM, and arrived there only to notice that there was a 15 min+ line just to get to the reservations counter. We were treated like shit by the hostesses, who trully feel they are making you a great favor by letting you dine there. Waiters weren't any better, by the way. We waiter one hour to be seated, even with a reservation. I've read here that Prime is a nightclub-like experience, and that's totally correct. You will suffer a LOT to get seated.

    Excellent but uber expensive... Food was great service - was okay.... The seafood towers were some of the best I've had. The overall experience was good but expensive so get ready to pay up.

    I had a 9:30p reservation, booked 2 weeks in advance for Prime One Twelve. We arrived 15 minutes early to a line out the door, just to CHECK IN. We were told the line to check in was one hour. As I stood there, in my heels, it was obvious that this was not worth the wait. To add to the disgusting customer service, if you arrived in a Bentley, you were able to by pass the line. When I complained I was told the hostess would "ignore me" until it was my turn to "check in". I have been to many popular NYC restaurants and never ever has there been an hour wait just to check in with the hostess. Get it together Prime One Twelve btw, we left and went to Milos and had excellent service!

    Sat at the bar and had a cucumber martini and beefsteak salad. Atmosphere was great, good service as well. Martini was well balanced but the salad had a bit too much onion to tomato ratio. Still overall enjoyed the visit.

    So I'm not sure what the point of making a reservation here is when you still have to wait over an hour for a table indoors... That's my only quip with this place from getting a full five stars. The hostesses were nice and you could tell were stressed from the crowds of people harassing them all night. But I wish I was told that my reservation was moot. Luckily, I didn't have anything planned immediately after dinner so waiting wasn't a huge issue. We waited at the bar area which was jam packed full of people. There's glasses full of bacon all around the bar that you can indulge on while sipping a cocktail. We watched the UCF USF football game which kept us entertained for a bit while glancing at some beautiful Miami women stroll on in with their sugar daddies! Once we were finally seated, the waiter warmly greeted us and brought us a basket of bread. After he went through his daily specials, we decided to go with the 48 oz porterhouse, sea bass, Parmesan scalloped potatoes, and kale mushroom casserole. My favorite was the sea bass! The sauce was incredible and the fish was perfectly cooked. I'm not a huge steak person so the porterhouse was good but I'd take the sea bass over a steak any day! The sides were good and are meant for sharing! They also have great desserts but were too full to try any. It might not have been the best idea to fill up on steak and heavy sides before going to Story down the street but screw it, I bring new meaning to "steak and shake!"

    BUBBA GUMP SHRIMP of MIAMI BEACH. I've been here twice. Bring a dinner for the wait, because no matter what time your reservation is, you will be waiting an hour+. By that time, you are HANGRY (hungry and angry) = the worst feeling for a woman. The bar is a fire hazard. Completely un-enjoyable. Avoid this spot. The food is good but is ruined by the initial hospitality of waiting an 1+ hours. THIS PLACE IS SO COMMERCIAL. I was looking for the gift shop after our $500.00+ meal. Go next door to their partner, Prime Fish, same food, no wait. Never Again.

    CHANGE A COOK!!! We had a reservation for 2 for 10.30pm and we were sited on time (star for that), Kevin- our server was handsome and friendly, we just wish you have seen more of him. Tomatoes with onion and blue cheese.. delish, scallops....amazing!! BUT then it got a little tricky.. We ordered rack of lamb and the 8oz. Kobe filet minion.. I specifically asked Kevin if the cook was ON POINT??when choosing my temperature, his reaction was an absolute confirmation of Chef's knowledge about steak's temperature... it was as he was saying "hello we are in a Prime steakhouse, he is rather on point..." with a sexy and spicy smirk on his face. I then decided I wanted a Medium - to medium well (lamb). He suggested "medium plus".. It was quite comforting, as I cannot bare a sight of a blood. The Kobe one.. we ordered Medium Minus.. To make it short: - my lamb came medium rare minus. blood on my plate took my appetite away. - 8 oz. Kobe came medium well.. So I had a piece of it... it was melting in my mouth..yes, but it was NOT what was ordered.. They should NOT BUTCHER a $280 worth steak, cause it makes it not even $50 worth. (Lady at table next to us has sent her steak away as well...) After 10 min of squeezing blood from my chops, Kevin finally appeared & offered to sear it a little more, then he brings it well done! uuuuuuu.... such a pity! on top of everything I had to order an additional shot of vodka to pour to my diluted Ciroc Peach / lemonade drink. well maybe they just forgot about the first ingredient... :) Waiter was was very nice, but I think the restaurant was under staffed. Overall neutral experience, buuuutttt you would expect more from supposedly(1) reputable steakhouse like Prime 112 after $600+ bill, supposedly(2) specializing in steaks and supposedly(3) knowing how to pull a perfect temperature off! so again: CHANGE THE COOK!!!!

    Let me just say, that I could write a novel on how much I love this place. But I won't, so don't worry. I feel like finally someone has created my ideal, dream of a restaurant, and that is exactly what Prime One Twelve is. Truffle caviar devilled eggs, lobster macaroni and cheese, 11 different variations of delicious potatoe sides, amazing steak with scrumptious toppings, oysters Rockefeller, French Onion soup... just to name a few of their dishes that I seriously love. But honestly, ANYTHING you order from this place is nothing short of delicious. It's like they put some sort of magical spell on each entrée before it comes to your table, because I don't know how any restaurant could make something as simple as Broccoli with cheese sauce (fondue, to be precise) taste so wonderful. It sounds crazy, but their sides are honestly some of the best parts about this tantalizing menu!!!! I promise you, you will not be disappointed when you have the pleasure of dining at this amazing restaurant... because seriously... if I had one choice of my last supper, it would hands down be Prime One Twelve, all day, everyday. Enjoy :)

    AWSOME place, from drinks, appetizer entree to deserts. The food spoke for its name "prime". The servers and hostess also treated very very well. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Miami, FL. #1 place in Miami Beach. While dinning here across our table my wife ran into an actor for Spanish television, this made her evening. Great times...

    Went here a few months back on a Saturday night. Made reservations for 4 for 10:30pm. Arrived at the restaurant to a sh*t show. It felt like trying to get into a club. So many people were lined up trying to get in and/or talk to the hostess. We finally got in and told the hostess we were there for our reservation. She told us she would call our name when the table was ready. We didn't get seated until close to midnight. Luckily we're from the west coast so eating at 1230am really felt like eating at 930pm. Either way, that's a late dinner and it's unacceptable to make people wait that long when they had a reservation. Otherwise, what's the point of making a reservation? Also we ended up sitting outside down the sidewalk from the restaurant. Almost felt like we were at a different restaurant. We shared some oysters and tuna tartare for appetizers which were both very good. I had the small 8oz Filet cooked medium rare. The steak was good. We ordered sauteed spinach, creamed corn, and truffle mac n cheese to share as side dishes. Everything was good. Honestly, I have no complaints about the food except maybe that it's a bit pricey. But it's a high end steak house so that is to be expected. What's not to be expected at a high end steak house is waiting an hour and half for your table when you had a reservation. That's unacceptable for a restaurant of this stature.

    My wife and I visited prime 112 on Wednesday and I must say its a fabulous restaurant. Our server Kevin took his time explaining the menu and making recommendations to us. He was very patient and very attentive to our wants/needs. Everything that we ordered was so good that it felt like we were in heaven when we were eating. Be aware that portions are very huge and can easily feed 2+ people so be careful. Everything was perfect from the hostess to the server to the food. It's a little pricey but portions are huge so it balances out.

    I tried to not give any stars but the app compels me to click on at least one star. I called at 6:48 pm on 1/17/15 to make a dinner reservation and the young lady was stunningly rude from the first word out of her mouth and her rudeness only escalated as I tried to make the reservation. It was such a turn off that I decided I'd rather have dinner someplace else- and one where my business at least appears to be appreciated. I do love the food here- though I did get very, very sick after eating here one time years ago- but I also like to be in a good mood while dining, especially at these prices. In fact, Prime's representative's unprofessionalism put me in such a bad mood that it compelled me to sign up for Yelp just so I could write this review.

    It was above average. The food was four stars, service was four stars, but for the price we were paying it was ridiculous. The food was very salty and not worth what we payed for. Still a great experience as it is a place to be seen. Overall, overrated.

    Imagine this. Prime 112. Wednesday night. Private dining room. Money is no object. My foodie wet dream come true. Boss man invites me to a celebration dinner with some high-society, high-rolling clients. Boss breaks out AMEX card and tells me to book the private dining room at Prime 112. After a ton of back and forth from the less-than-accommodating staff about trying to limit our dining experience in the private room to only 2 HOURS, they allow us to have the room for 4 hours if we agree to a $1500 minimum charge. Knowing my boss and his light-up-the-cigar-with-a-ben-franklin spending habits, I know that blowing this much money will be a breeze. We start out at the bar while we wait for our party of 7 to show up. While snacking on endless bacon and sipping my sauvignon blanc, I cruise the room with my eyes in search of a celebrity. D. Wade? Arnold? J. Lo? No such luck tonight. Our guests arrive and we make our way all the way around the building to our private room. Sadly this area of the restaurant is void of people and utterly silent. We asked the waiters to turn on some music, but they provide us with a lame excuse that rain has knocked out their satellite radio. So, we improvise. Boss man goes out to his Range Rover and digs through the trunk. He delivers a Beats Pill bluetooth speaker to the room and cranks up some R&B which really sets the mood for eating a big meal (NOT). But the client requested R&B and we all know the customer is always right. Now onto the food and wine. For starters we order two "seafood towers" which consist of a sampling of shrimp that are the size of my hand ($9 a piece X 10), tuna poke, white fish ceviche, west coast oysters (flown in just for the occasion), poached lobster and chunks (yes chunks) of Maryland crab meat. 2 platters were ordered for 7 people. I literally ate seafood until it started coming out of my ears and I started growing barnacles on my face. Each bite better than the last. Sauces were provided to compliment each creature of the sea. Sriracha mayo, creamy mustard, migonette, horseradish. Boss man picked out some great wine - Insignia Cab at $800 a bottle. Can't argue with that. I'm not a big steak eater so was not about to dive into a 8 oz piece of Kobe (at $35 per oz). Chilean sea bass is always a safe option and rarely disappoints. Situated atop a bed of baby bok choy and a sweet miso glaze, it was melt-in-your-mouth good. For sides we ordered a sampling of sweet potato mash with Madagascar vanilla bean (OMG), sauteed spinach and loaded baked potatoes. I was a little miffed that Boss man didn't order the truffled lobster mac for the table. I kept waving my hands and yelling to get his attention from across the monstrous table, but he went with the healthier and less seafood laden options which I'm sure everyone appreciated. As if I have room for dessert, I order it any way. I mean, I'm past the point of food coma and almost busting at the seams, but it's time to test this Ann Taylor suit and see how much it can expand before the buttons start to fly off and hit people in the face. Dessert selections are: the creme brulee with mixed berries and peppermint brownies, the peanut butter s'mores concoction and the fried Oreos. Sweet baby Jesus, this dessert chef is an culinary master a-hole. How can you invent desserts like this?! It's just wrong, yet so right. Right in my stomach they went. The star of the dessert variety show was (you guessed it) the fried Oreo. It was an Oreo cookie nestled inside a pillowy beignet - all soft and gooey. The homemade vanilla ice cream was the perfect compliment. With that said, the meal wraps up and we are sitting around the table looking at each other in awkward silence as the food coma commences (with even more awkward R. Kelly slow jam music playing in the background). I just leaned back and let the bill arrive while Boss man played DJ and further annoyed everyone with his eclectic playlist of crap. When the bill was presented, like a true rockstar, he didn't even flinch. I did on his behalf. We easily spent our minimum and then some. So, why not 5 stars? Well, I believe a restaurant needs to have the whole package. They can't just sneak by on food alone and not offer stellar customer service as well. Prime 112 (and it's quad of locations) aren't going anywhere any time soon and they know it. Therefore, they can afford to be snooty. I'm thinking in a weird way that patrons secretly get off on this snootiness. It's part of the appeal. Experience Prime 112 for the food. Indulge. Be prepared to spend your Benjamins and max out your card.. Expect the snootiness and you'll be just fine. Say hi to Arnold for me.

    This did not disappoint! The filet was cooked to perfection. Service was 5. The only thing that prevented one more star was their portions. Too big! The side dishes are enough for four or five people and not everybody likes the same thing. I would have liked to get my own side dish and not feel like I am being so wasteful. The food was outstanding. The sweet potatoes are a must! Huge wine selection with knowledgeable servers. Long list of deserts. We had to share one with three people and there was still leftovers. So good!!!!!!!

    The five stars is for the super enthusiastic waitstaff and amazing food. What we had: Rib Eye Steak for two: cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Mac and Cheese- delicious! Potato Skins-delicious! We also had wine recommended by the waitstaff which complimented the meal very well. For desert we had the fried oreos and fried red velvet cupcakes. They were to die for! All in all a very good meal. Waitstaff is very knowledgeable is they recommend something listen!

    Prime 112 is one of the best steak houses in South Florida. I highly recommend it for local and out-of-towners. The atmosphere is fantastic. I live in Miami and I eat at prime 112 about two or three times a month. The porterhouse steak, King crab legs, lobster mac & cheese, and my favorite dessert the fried Oreos. I have tried almost everything on the menu within the last two years and I must say I have never been disappointed. Their wine selection is fantastic as well. If you come to Miami Beach prime 112 is a MUST!! The bill can add up quickly between The appetizers, main course, sides, and dessert.. But let's not forget about the drinks.. But I can tell you that it's well worth it. You will not be disappointed!!

    As you will read, there are varying opinions on Prime 112. If you want to be seated on time and not wait, make your dinner reservation at 6pm. We did not wait and it was Saturday night. I think we left around 8:30. The food was good, steaks were cooked as requested. The portions are huge and bear in mind that it is not cheap. If you like to people watch, this is the place for you. If you don't like it loud, don't come here, because everyone in the city is in this restaurant. It is packed tight with people and it is a busy place. We had a very nice time. I think if you go with fun people, go with the flow and keep the mindset of having a good time, you will. Some people can be very negative and that negativity is reflected in their reviews. We enjoyed ourselves ;)

    Scathing reviews aren't my thing, but this place deserves it. I understand it's a hot-spot but the service was truly atrocious - and the food wasn't much better. A few of us even felt sick after the meal. Perhaps it's the fact that it's incredibly heavy, but something was off. It was the service, however, that really ticked me off. We waited thirty minutes for our first round of drinks and even after copious amounts of apologies and speaking to a manager, we continued to wait. There are better spots in Miami, don't waste your time.

    Not even worth it. Came in expecting a great steak meal and was not impressed, ambiance for sure five star, but when I spend 120 on a porterhouse I expect perfection. The steak was overcooked and when asked for sauce because it was dry they had their nerve to charge 3 dollars. For.sure tho the mac n cheese was perfect, and greens were delish and sweet. I would not return.

    I feel like I have over rated places after going here. We booked it for our anniversary and after all the great food of the week this one really made it to the top. To start they call you on the day of to make sure that you are still available. That is professional and they are ensuring that they are able to fill the tables. Upon arrival we were immediately checked in and then taken to our two top of which was surrounded in a intimate ambiance. We ordered our wine and martini which was accompanied with a selection of bread. Upon reviewing the menu and then the waiter explaining the specials I struggled to decided. My husband ordered the filet mignon and loaded baked potato. I chose the tuna medallions which was amazing. The mean was perfect! Not to much to eat and a bit pricey but totally worth it. Thanks!!!

    All hype and high prices. We made a reservation for a party of 6 on a Saturday night at 9pm. While the res was made weeks in advance, and after calling to see if we needed to make our res earlier to see if the restaurant was running late (since everyone's Yelp comments seems to direct towards there lack of punctuality), we were seated an hour and a half later. Yep, at about 10:30pm!!! Which means we probably didn't get our food until about 11:30pm. Ridifreakenculous! I have never ever been in an 'upscale' restaurant where your reservation time was not honored and nor were you comped for the ridiculously long wait. I'm not even going to get on the food. Food was OK. We had the ridiculous lobster (4llbs) which the server failed to completely describe to us. Our server also suggested that we order 4 sides -- waaay too much food. We wasted a lot of money that night just to say we once dined where Duane Wayde and Gabriel Union had their rehearsal dinner. SMH.

    What an unbelievable level of arrogance!! Arrived 15 minutes early for my 8 pm reservation..,was given the choice of eating outside to the smell of the local sewer or an isolated crappy table at the bathroom entrance....I asked how long for something a bit more to the level of reputation this restaurant boosts...i was told 15 minutes... So standing in the front entrance with my family ( first time they've been here i raved about this place)...every 20 minutes i would ask how we are doing ( the cocky maitre'd asked my name every time...I haven't moved still in the same place?? ) ....1 hour and 10 minutes later...they tell me my table is ready....and they escort me to the same crappy little table by the bathroom i turned down 1 hr 10 minutes earlier!! Still dirty from the previous customer...check still on the table to be collected!! I dine often in Miami's South Beach....and will never EVER step foot in this arrogant establishment again!!! Oh btw we did not take the table...we left!! Keep it up " Prime " group...it doesn't take much to spread the word!!

    Very disappointing. We had a 8PM reservation that they called twice to confirm and we didn't get seated until almost 9:30. The front reception desk girls were snotty and rude and made you feel like they were doing you a favor by helping you. 3 of us had steak (Bone In Filet, Filet and Strip) at best they were ok certainly not worth 50 a piece they were charging. One of them came out cold. One of our guests had the 30 Kobe Burger. It was decent according to them. Side were very good Truffle Fries, Creamed Corn and Mac and Cheese. Service was very good. I would pass at the opportunity to dine in this place.

    Very good food, prices are high... don't come if you want to get your money's worth, but for a steak-house Prime One-Twelve is up there with Miami's best except.. for the service. Our waiter was actually very good.. but the hostess as well as the rest of the personnel was awfull. Make sure you make a reservation, they are not very nice to walk-ins (we made a reservartion this time). The tables are crammed together (almost Paris style) and when we requested a different table (as soon as we saw it) we got a nasty look from the hostess. Besides the waiters, who are excellent, the rest of the staff doesn't seem to care too much about the clientele... I guess its a benefit of always being packed? The food was very good.. the steak had a bit too much pepper, but both the Rib-eye and the Porterhouse were delicious and perfectly cooked. Is is worth $70-$150? Hell no.. frankly, Meat Market on Lincoln road serves better steak. The sides are delicious... they are meant to be shared, do order them.. and do share them but do not look at the price.. yes we paid $15 for a side of Spinach.

    No idea where or who the good reviews come from ??? I had a 10:00 reservation and did not get seated till almost midnight . Steak was cold and I sent Bernese sauce back twice because of it also being cold. Sides were ok.. I think this place is just busy cause people are suckers and think they are big shots being "scene" there .. Food was not good much better options in area. Don't be a sucker !!!Also,not to much to see there but the suckers thinking they will see someone famous or meet someone famous or think they are famous!! I'm upset that people have this place good reviews for the wrong reasons and I wasted my time and money there.

    My reservation was for 9 and I was sat at roughly 11. I had ample time to decide what I wanted to receive for dinner. I did not need time to think once sat. The crab cake appetizer and the porter house for two was ordered. Before my drink order was taken, I had my app in front of me, about 3 minutes from being sat. Once received, I was asked three times if I was done within five minutes of having my crab cake. The crab cake was tasty, but I felt like I had to scarf it down before the plate would have been just ripped away from me to clear. This review is being written right after that experience. Regardless of how the steak comes out and how good the food can be, I am ready to leave. I understand I am not in for a Michelin star experience but the lack of basic service procedure and customer appreciation has already turned me away from any food I can receive. I have yet to see my server since my order was taken, and it has been well over 25minutes. If you have ample time to waste and a disregard for any sort of basic restaurant etiquette, this may be he place for you. I however, would not recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a pleasurable dining experience.

    Don't go! Our hotel called and made a reservation for us and we arrive there, right on time. They said they didn't have our name that the reservation was made at their sister location across the street (Italian). Our friends said that, that happened to them as well. It's basically a racket since the other restaurant never has anyone eating there. The host was so rude, he made it seem like we were fools to think we would eat there. Do yourself a favor and so t eat at this establishment. You and your money deserve better.

    Food is on point. Wait is ridiculous. Space is ridiculous. We were seated by the bar and had to move our table several times because people were knocking into us. Staff is so-so.

    I had just recently moved to the area and my sister and best friend were in town visiting. Of course we wanted to have a nice dinner before heading out on the town and we set our sights on Prime One Twelve. We weren't disappointed. Yes, it is a bit pricey but if you do your research before you come it shouldn't be a surprise and for the quality of food I would say it was worth it. Everything was great. We had a cocktail while waiting for our table and each of us was pleased with our selection. We each had the 8 oz. filet mignon with butters; I had the garlic and herb butter which was delicious. The sides are to die for and come family style so we shared the broccoli with cheddar fondue and potatoes. I still can't stop thinking about those scalloped parmesan potatoes... Some of the best I've had in a while! Service wasn't above and beyond but it was good so I have no complaints there. We drooled over the fried oreos that the table next to us ordered but we were saving what little extra room we had for a couple cocktails so maybe next go-around... All in all, I enjoyed the experience and we all walked away satisfied.

    Tried Prime 112 last week for our anniversary and it did not disappoint. First off, we are service industry people. If you come here at 9pm on a Saturday you will wait, even with a reservation. It's a small place and with the price tag attached most people want to linger and not be rushed. We came at 7 on a Monday and found the place to be almost empty. By 8:30 it was full. As with most restaurants, you will typically get fresher and better food, and better service the earlier you go. By 11pm, the staff is tired and the cooks are ready to clean up. Another thing you should know about this place is that the portions are absolutely immense. We ordered 4 jumbo shrimp, 2 of the smallest steaks, 2 sides, and dessert. 3 days later we were still eating the potatoes and cauliflower gratin at home. Other than that the service is impeccable, if not a little formal for us (everything is sir and madam), even though we tried to disarm our waiter and relax him he wouldn't budge from rigid standards. Everything is looked after. The steaks were some of the best I've ever had, and I'll look forward to returning in a couple years when we've saved up enough $$-

    Food is delicious. The steak basically melts in your mouth. I'm day dreaming about it now. The biggest con? Even with reservations, and tipping the hostess, we still waited over an hour.. Just to be sat outside (we wanted inside) even the bar was insanely packed. Very uncomfortable to move around. I was standing against a crowded wall with my drink. Once sat, a manager came over and apologized with offerings of fried oreos. Service wasn't good. She was nice, but absent. But the food? The food makes up for it all. Yum.

    For a restaurant of this caliber I was not impressed by the menu, food, or service. As much as the bacon is unique, it's too bar like for this type of restaurant. The menu has sliders and chicken wings. Yes it is a steak house, but I thought the selection of food would be a little more upscale. The food was very oily. I cannot speak for the steak, but the only thing I liked was the Mac and cheese. It took forever to sit, so we went to the bar. And it took a little for the other half of the food. Overall, mediocre restaurant. I can definitely think of much better restaurants for the price.

    This place is one of my favorites in Miami. It is a mob scene of beautiful people on any day of the week. Always absolutely busy! So if you are not in the mood to deal with an extremely busy and loud restaurant & bar this is not the place for you. The most frustrating part of the place it's that you need to fight your way to the hostess and then you need to wait 20 mins more to be seated even if you showed up on time for your reservation , Be aware that if you are late for your reservation the have a strict policy and will cancel it...Hence the 4 stars!!! But the food it's without any doubt of the best quality & delicious . So far Everything I've tried is good there From The steaks, the fish , soups ,the sides & Desert ( must try the deep fried red velvet cupcakes!!).The Cocktails and the wine list never disappoints. Once you are seated in your table the Prime 112 experience makes you forget about the hostess experience...At least until you get the check $$$$!

    This place was great, unfortunately I had been out in the sun all day and had some adult beverages before arriving so I didn't get to enjoy it as I should have. I got the bone in ribeye with garlic mash. Amazing!!! Cooked perfect great flavor! Mash potatoes we good but a bit dry. My girl had the filet and it was just amazing as well! The Mac and cheese as most the other reviewers say, they are saying the right thing. Now it got a 4 not a 5 cause the service could have been better, but it's South Beach.... Whatever. I will go back!

    Gross! It was not good at all. The onion soup was terrible and the salad was not that good either. They really like to squeeze you in( tables are very close). The only reason I give it two stars is because the steak was not bad.. Btw this place is really overpriced

    I came for the food - not for the scene and the frequent celebrity spottings, nor for the bacon at the bar, nor any of the other over the top South Beach gimmicks associated with this place. All that aside, this was still one of the best meals I've ever had. The food here is all amazing, from the trio of complimentary hot rolls of bread you get as soon as you are seated, to one of the deepest and best dessert menus I've seen at any steak house, or even any restaurant for that matter, everything is incredibly delicious. Starting with that bread, even knowing the insane amount of food I was about to eat, I could not decline when they offered us more after I finished off the first basket. I still can't decide which is my favorite of the three - there is one filled with onions, one that is very cheesy, and one that is filled with nuts and raisins, and all are incredibly soft and HOT. One of the best bread baskets I've had. Moving on to appetizers, we started with the Kobe Beef Sliders ($27). Now before you foodie/burger snobs start rolling your eyes and talking about how Kobe beef is wasted and should never be ordered in burger form, just try tasting these. These were some of the best little burgers I've ever had. Served with or without cheese (we wisely chose cheese) on a soft, incredibly buttery bun, this surprisingly reasonably priced appetizer (FOUR generously sized sliders for $27 - they could have gotten away with charging a lot more, considering they were branded as Kobe beef) was one of the most satisfying and delicious appetizers I could have hoped for. For my meal I went with the 12 oz. Filet Mignon ($55). It was cooked perfectly and was incredibly soft, juicy and tasty. From the long list of sauces and butters ($3 each), I decided to go with the Peanut Hoisin. WOW. I could have (and did a little bit) just eat this sauce plain. This was an amazing complement to the steak and was incredibly delicious. I also slathered that Peanut Hoisin on all of our numerous sides ($12 each for potatoes, $13 each for other sides). We got the Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, which were some of the smoothest, creamiest mashed potatoes I've ever eaten, and the Housemade Tater Tots, which were also great. I pride myself in always cleaning every plate when I eat out, but we couldn't come close to finishing the mashed potatoes - they serve you an ENORMOUS bowl, which is well worth the price. The taters were also very interesting, and not like your typical tater tots. They were huge, and the entire portion consisted of just eight of these massive and delicious potatoes. We also got the Sauteed Broccoli Rabe, which was good, but c'mon, it's just broccoli - if I weren't on vacation and didn't eat fries and pure fried food 3 times a day for the previous 2 days, I probably would have gone for some more beige and gotten the Crispy White Truffle Fries, which sound amazing. Finally, when it came time for dessert, I was beyond full, but I was too tempted by some of the amazing sounding options, which are way more interesting than any desserts I've seen at most other steak houses. Since I had already been overdosing on beige as I previously mentioned, I decided against the Fried Oreos and instead went with the Chocolate & Peanut Butter Smores with Vanilla Ice Cream ($15). Again, WOW. This was an incredibly overwhelming, yet amazing dessert. Again, I was also depressed and very ashamed that I couldn't come close to finishing this. It was so rich and I was so full that I just had to stop, even though I wanted more than anything to finish it since it was so good. I have never seen a steak house with such a wide variety of selections (see the menus I posted in Photos). Typically there are maybe 5-6 sides to choose from, including potatoes, and here, there are entire separate menus for potatoes and other sides, each of which consists of 10+ options. We didn't happen to sight any celebrities, but it doesn't matter, because the food is the real reason to come here, as that alone made this one of the most memorable meals I've ever had.

    Food was ok, not great. We were seated right away. Service? Poor. We were greeted by two unfriendly hostesses (no "Welcome", no "Good evening", just a simple "What's the name under the reservation?".) Sad but true. The waiter spent the whole time talking to the people seating next to us. He was very loud. When our group compared the menus, we noticed that the prices were different. Yes, the prices vary based on the menu you get. What a joke.

    cant believe this has an average of 3.5 stars Prime 112 is a 5 all day long chilean sea bass may have been the best piece of fish i have ever eaten all the sides are spot on, garlic rabe, roasted beets and blue cheese etc etc order the house salad if you are in a group - it serves about 6 for $22 and it is delicious. served with speck. yum yum yum and always fun people watching

    After years of living in South Florida, I finally found my way to this Miami legend. I've been to my fair share of four and five star restuarants in South Florida, and it's getting harder and harder to impress me, which is kind of disappointing. I was super excited to try out Prime 112, but because of my recent disappointments, I was a little nervous that this too would fall victim of the over hype. Well I'm here to tell you, it certainly didn't. This place lived up to my expectations and was by far the best meal I have had in quite some time. Our server Kyle, was pretty awesome. I'm not sure if he was really that friendly, or just that good at his job, but either way - props to Kyle. Now on to the food: There were only two of us at dinner, and we ordered like this was our first and last meal in one. The portions at this place our huge and we ordered way too much but it was all amazing. Apps: Scallops with Shortrib and Truffle mash: So good. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the short rib was so tasty. An interesting mix and one that works well. We also ordered a giant meatball that wasn't on the menu. This thing was the size of my head and phenomenal. After finishing the meatball I was full. Oops For dinner, I very hesitantly decided to order the Seabass over a filet. It's a steakhouse and I wasn't sure but I am so happy i made the decision i made (my boyfriend got the ribeye and it was phenomenal too), as it was the best seabass i have ever eaten. ever. Sides We got the brussel sprouts - yummy and the spinach and Parmesan stuffed tomatoes. They were so good. I can't stop thinking about them At this point I thought I was going to die because I was so full but we kept going and ordered the Peanut Butter Smores dessert. I really can't believe how good everything was. I certainly won't wait another 8 years to go back.

    OK...maybe it's wrong for me to write a review for this place after cooking myself an absolutely fantastic dinner consisting of the cheapest ribs to be bought in Miami smothered with Copperpots jalapeno jam, liberally dusted with my own homemade flower pepper (since Trader Joe's discontinued theirs)....with my lime and Kerrygold butter carrots...and garlic butter roasted corn on the cob. My dinner...probably cost about $10 a head and would have fed 10 people. But I digress Prime One Twelve is what every other high end restaurant here in Miami is. Over-rated. Seriously, my house has been more freshly painted than this place...and I haven't painted it in over 5 years. Despite the fact that this was a work related lunch and I wasn't picking up the check, my conscious could not let me order extravagantly and so I sat and watched what the others were eating. I wasn't impressed. I had the appetizer of the scallops and the short ribs for my lunch. I'm sorry...did I say "ribs"? Scallops and short RIB. Put your index finger to your thumb top and look in that space....that was my "ribs". My boss laughed and laughed........yes it was delicious with it's three sea scallops ($22 at Publix for a pound) and its mound of potatoes and its pinot noir reduction. It was great. I loved it. BUT...I had ordered the Brussels sprouts with pancetta...which never materialized. And then we got into the whole thing about us telling the waiter we have to get back to work quickly and the waiter telling us....""it's not fast food". Ummmmm . Don't be a smart ass....seriously. Funny enough...sitting there with people who eat out at Miami's hot spots all the time...who ordered $40 steaks it seems to me that there is a flux of people who eat out at "named" restaurants all the time just for the sake of being seen. Maybe people just need to learn how to cook for themselves and then they will realise what food should taste like. Will not be back. Nothing to see here.

    The food was delicious and the portions of sides and salads were enough for me and my wife. I'm a former football player, eat well and still could not put away my entire meal. We ordered the "huge" Signature Salad, two 22 oz. Bone-in Ribeye steaks, the lobster Mac-N-Cheese and loaded baked potato to share. We also ordered the fried Oreos and deep fried Red Velvet donuts to go. Although there were a few servants that looked like they weren't looking forward to working that day, Gary(our waiter) made our experience exceptional. We will definitely be back to eat here the next time we're in town. Loved it!!!!

    This place is amazing! All the time busy but with reason, the food is woowwww! Very good. Me and my family enjoyed tonight in our dinner. Service good . Why I didn't put 5 stars is jut cuz is over price, it's expensive ! Anyway is good to go and try! But...don't forget u need to be ready to spend :-)

  • Dan C.

    Well people, I came back again as I was invited to come and this time I was completely blown away by all the food we ordered. This is what we had this time: * STARTERS* * Steak Tartare - Amazingly delicious and juicy. I have no idea what they put in it to season it but it all taste of fresh herbs. Purely amazing. * Tuna - The freshest most delicious tuna I've ever tasted. Seriously, it tasted like it was swimming just before they served it to us. * King crab legs - Just like the tuna - must've been scavenging the bottom of the ocean right before they brought it to our table. * MAIN ENTREE* *20-Oz NY Strip Steak - Ok... I really like this cut of meat because to be honest, I like my steak to have so fat on it. I also know that I have to sacrifice tenderness for the fat...in most cases. Not the case here! This steak could've been cut in a circle and sold as a filet mignon, that's how tender it was. Fat wise - maybe 1 Oz of fat or less. Delicious. Squeezed the roasted garlic on top and sprinkled it with some finishing salt to give it an incredible, buttery and crusty taste. * SIDE DISHES* * Mac n' Cheese with truffle oil - The taste was heavenly. The cheese was divine. The truffle oil made it taste like a million bucks! * Lobster Mac - Mac n' cheese like above but without the truffle but with nice chunks of lobster making it sweeter. My favorite side. * Asparagus - My mama would've been proud to see me eat them, and who wouldn't! They were very thick but so tender! I have no idea how they are able to cook them through. Very good dish. * DESSERT * * Fried Oreos - They were so good, though I only got to eat two because my party attacked them right away. Very good, crispy in the outside and melted in the inside. * Fried doughnuts - Fresh off the frier. Very sweet and tasty. * DRINK * * Nickel & Nickel State Ranch 2009 wine - Very delicious, slightly fruity, soft red. Excellent red wine. The service as usual was exceptional, second to none. The place was crowded, a bit loud, but the food and the service makes up for it. Almost forgot to mention that there is bacon at the bar. Delicious maple bacon. Again, I was blown away and came out very impressed with this restaurant. I highly recommend it but beware, and check that Amex balance before you splurge because it is not cheap. :)

  • Jay G.

    Lobster mac and cheese. Asparagus. And the steaks. Sorry I was drunk can't remember what we ordered. First impression pulling up to this place is that it's obviously a hot spot for the more fortunate. There was a 2 hour wait. But we had made a reservation prior and were walked right passed the madness outside. The food was really good but what I'm craving while writing this review is the lobster mac and cheese. Trust me. You will not be disappointed. Also another suggestion is to order a variety and ask for the steaks to be pre cut in order to have a larger variety.

  • Tanya G.

    Great food but the service could make the experience much more enjoyable. We waited 45 min with the reservation and got sent to the bar. We got "handled" and not treated or served. That goes from the moment we entered to the very end: getting our drinks at the bar, getting to our table, ordering food and paying our bill. Obviously the place is busy and trendy and popular but treat your clients with respect and in mind there another places to go to for food. There were countless times when various service points could've been addressed but they weren't. We felt ushered through a phenomenal food experience but other than the back service this restaurant needs a complete face lift and is in dire need of a hospitality consultant.

    My favorite restaurant on SoBe...still after several years. Awesome food with huge portions...a bit pricey but hey, you get what you pay for. Ambiance can be noisy and you have to make reservations way ahead of time but it's still my go-to place for a special occasion. Phenomenal steaks, side dishes, wine & drinks. You may see celebs here quite often. Enjoy!

  • Jemma C.

    Beyond overrated. Waited 45mins for our reserved table (which didn't bother us as much as other reviewers). Average cocktails. Average steaks. Subpar sides with the exception of the mash. Mediocre dining room. The pros were great garlic mash potatoes, super fresh and tasty shrimp cocktail and lovely waiter. And quite honestly that's it! Over $300 for one bottle of wine, 1 ribeye steak for two, 2 sides and one shrimp cocktail (with two shrimps). I'd never dream of going here again.

  • David P.

    Bone in filet was delicious. The chimicurri sauce was excellent. Sides are big. And those fried Oreos are the dirtiest, but most delicious dessert I have had in a long time! Lost one star because they still let guests smoke outside at the tables, which are very close together.

    Sadly this place did not live up to the expectations created by the Prime 112 devotees around Miami and the world. I found myself here at what by many accounts is the best steak house in Miami (aka land of 10,000 steakhouses) last week for a late lunch with friends. The place was practically empty so as I walked in I thought this would be one of those meals fondly remembered for its gastronomic goodness for some first timers. Having heard everyone including several yelpers extoll the extravagance and deliciousness of the macaroni-n-cheese I knew I had to have it, carby and cheesy sounded perfect for some starving girls. We paired the five cheese truffle mac with some kobe beef sliders and the truffle-oil fries. It was a truffle oil packed time. I've always adhered to the school of thought that everything tastes better with love he-he just kidding, on a serious note I thought everything tastes better when you're hungry, mind you if this is the case then that does not bode well for Prime 112. Our dishes arrived, the fries were a huge serving perfect for splitting but as I bit into my first fry I thought that was ok and then lo and behold that same sentiment echoed throughout lunch. Yes, yes, there was no "ahhh" moment with the golden, white light not even an "aha" Oprah moment, there wasn't even a moment were the word "best" crossed my mind. Wait I lie, my dining companions and I all asked each other and "This supposed to be "the best"?" Let's hope not. In fact we didn't finish any of the dishes on the table and hardly dented our fries however, let me be the first to day that I'd prefer a smaller serving with more taste. As for the much loved mac, also nothing exceptional. The meal was so unspectacular that we went elsewhere for dessert. Ultimately, the question is would I return? Maybe, but not before mentioning my overall thought on this place: I've had better and better with a lower price point.

    Came here to celebrate the final night of my brother's bachelor party weekend..I was not disappointed. This place is, indeed, epic. We had reservations at 11 for six, but we ended up getting seated at 12:15am. The wait was incredibly long and apparently the hostess gave our table away because she couldn't "find" us. We were incredibly hungry but I suppose the steak was worth the wait. This was the only bad part of our experience. Be prepared to be within eyesight of the hostess when waiting for your table to become available. The steaks here are incredible. Four of us had the bone-in ribeye($58) while two shared a porterhouse. The steaks were very rich in flavor. Almost too rich. I always love steakhouses that cook your meat to order; mine was perfectly medium rare. The peppercorn sauce that I got with it was a good touch too, but I have a feeling the other sauces would have been even better. Even cooler was the baked(?) whole garlic in which its melted contents could be squeezed onto your steak. We ordered a side of truffle fries and mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was okay, but the truffle fries were like crack. My god they were beyond delicious. Definitely try the truffle fries. That is all. Overall, I would definitely come back if I had 1. money, and 2. another spectacular occasion to celebrate. We probably had the best seats in the house too--next to the women's bathroom. Why you ask? Well...the women here are gorgeous. What else could I say?

    1. The wine list--nice 2. Unique Cocktails--nicer 3. The Steak--Straight Money! 4. The sides--Meals in and of themselves It is really simple, if you are a fan of innovative Steakhouses, this is a must visit! If you simply want a steak, stick with one of the chain restaurants and order it well done.

    I've been to Prime One Twelve a number of times, and while I've never been disappointed, I've also never been completely overwhelmed. I'm a fan, and I'd go again, but it doesn't qualify as "the best" - at least not in my book. What is very good is the food. We ordered oysters as our appetizer, they were large, slightly sweet, and delicious. The pre-dinner breadbasket offers several tasty selections... Try the bread with raisins in it - in a word, yum! As you have probably guessed, Prime One Twelve is all about the meat... I wasn't very hungry this night, so I went with the 8 oz Filet Mignon. It's the perfect size as frankly, most of the other cuts are enormous. And this place knows how to cook meat to your desired temperature... So no need to hedge with the waiter... If you ask for medium rare, that's exactly what you'll get. Our sides included spinach, truffle Mac and cheese with lobster, and seasonal vegetables. The truffle Mac is creamy goodness! And if I were just rating the Mac, this would be a five-star review. The scene is SoBe chic... So make sure you're dressed for the occasion. Plenty of beautiful women, fast cars and SoBe glamour. Oh, and last bot not least, Bacon at the Bar!!! The cups packed with bacon are meant to replace the traditional nuts, or salted snacks... They're an excellent substitution and a signature pairing... Try one, it's a pretty addictive snack, so try not to spoil your appetite!

    Great place to take clients, but I've gone with friends and family as well. The food is out of this world- steak, mac and cheese, kobe beef sliders, and of course their ice cold milk and cookies- a must have for me! lol

    Everything was good. Steak/lobster/ side dishes/ wine/ dessert.... I didnt like one that music inside restaurants.. some of hiphop music doesnt match with this restaurant atmosphere.. and this restaurants is always crowd so kind loud.. not quite place to eat.. But food taste definitely great. 5star! ------------------------ 2013 Dec... I used to like this restaurant a lot... But i got sick after grill seabass and steak and lobster mac and cheese.... So disappointed.... Im not sure will go back or not....

    Clearly, they make people wait after reserving a table because it's all part of the hype that they want to create. After so many similar reviews, if management saw it as an issue, they'd do something about it. No way I was waiting more than half an hour. The bar was small too difficult to get a drink at because there were too many people waiting for tables and everyone had gathered there. Prime Italian across the street has a great menu too. Great service. Awesome fried Oreos.

  • Mike R.

    Scene: Very cool. Was told it was popular place to be-seen for celebrities/athletes (we had an NBA player seat behind us while dining). Bar area played great music (some Jay-Z Blueprint, quality hip-hop/R&B late Saturday night). Atmosphere: Trendy, Smart-Casual, Upscale Food: Filet was one of the best I've had - very flavorful. "Double Wedge" Salad could have fed 6 people and was very good. Lobster Truffle Mac and Cheese also very flavorful, big lobster pieces. Menu was very extensive and made narrowing down a food selection difficult. Also, lots of great sauces/add-on toppings for steaks. Price: Priced like any high end steak house, but worth it. It's better to resist urge to order multiple sides as the portions are huge. Service: Above average, knowledgeable, professional

  • Brisco J.

    Overpriced, but when someone else is paying it's great. I've tried almost everything on the menu, and there isn't anything I don't like. My biggest problem is not saving room for dessert. Next time I might just order the deep-fried Oreo's and chocolate chip cookies with milk for my entire meal. The waitstaff are usually fine, although some have that dissociated, drug-addict look. The hostesses and bartenders are all hot and have nasty attitudes, but I think deep down that's what people want. EDIT: I laugh when I see reviews saying "I had to wait over an hour - with a reservation" or "The hostesses are SO rude!" - They know they are rude. They don't care. It's all part of the scheme.

  • Kelly G.

    Best food in Miami Beach! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because our server had an air of arrogance. We ordered seconds on the oysters! The Mac and Cheese was sinful and the Chilean Sea Bass tasted like crab. The Hubby ordered steak and it was just to die for! It was our night to party in Miami and Prime 112 put us straight to sleep! No room for dessert and lights out! When we got in our cab we mad jokes that the server was so snooty because he knows the food is just that amazing! We will be back!

  • Laura Y.

    This meal was phenomenal. I had made a reservation a month in advance for my boyfriend and I and the best I could get was 7:30pm. It was a bit early, but looking at the swarming crowd at the restaurant once we arrived, I was so glad we didn't have to wait. Looking at the other reviews, apparently the wait can get pretty bad, but let me tell you that the food is well worth it. WOW. Boyfriend and I split the bone-in ribeye for two. It was cooked perfectly. He started with the crabcake which was great -- lots of crab, less cake, well seasoned. I started with one of the side dishes, beets with bleu cheese and it was great. To pair with the steak, we got the creamed spinach and the mac and cheese. Both were AMAZINGLY delicious. We could hardly make a dent in either they were so large. The sides are really made for parties of 4+. The cocktails were strong and tasty. We didn't try dessert (too full!). The one very small complaint we had was the wine list. The list was comprehensive but didn't offer many "mid range" options. There was always one cheap bottle ($45 - $60) and the next step up was usually around $90+. The comprimise for this is that the wines by the glass list is quite good, so if you're just a party of two, might be better to stick to wines by the glass and then try a few different wines rather than get bogged down with a bottle that's too pricey for your your preference or just fair.

    Typical Miami hype. This one has the label of best in Miami - should be most expensive with mediocre "you are doing them a favor" in Miami. It's not bad but for the money??? - many better options. It is South Beach and they will continue to get away with taking tourists money - because it is the place to be!

    Prime One Twelve's reputation was well-established long before I visited, and I had high expectations. I'm a television producer and we shoot in Miami about one week out of every six. If I'm not totally broke, I'll treat myself and the segment producer to a meal. I've eaten there a half dozen times. The food is always far above average, and they pay a great deal of attention to temperature. I have never had an over or under-prepared steak, and I find that impressive. The steaks are phenomenal. I've had the bone-in ribeye (the tastiest), the filet and the Prime Rib - which they only serve on Sundays. It's worth noting that the gigantic prime rib is less costly than their other offerings... a common sense approach that doesn't insult the diner's intelligence. The truffle-mac-n-cheese is the best I've had. And, silly as it sounds, their cheddar biscuits (free) are incredible too. So why not 5 stars? Because the last time I was there the waitress tried to up-sell me so hard that I almost left. After ordering $200 of food for three of us (just steaks and a salad) she looked at us as if we were morons and said, "no sides?" When I said no, she stared off in disbelief - practically making a fool of me. I didn't need to feel that way when I was blowing that kind of money on a few steaks. They know this is a "destination" restaurant, and they should ensure that guests feel good about dining there, not like they didn't bring enough cash. I'll be back, and I hope they tone down the up-selling.

    Mmmmmmm. Hubby and I are very much into steakhouses. So while we were in miami for art basel this week, we decided to try this place since my husband heard about it from reading page 6. Haha. We got there without reservations and were seated outside. We each had rib eye, asparagus and fried potatoes. No appetizer needed... we dont want to fill up before the main course. The meat was so tasty and melt in your mouth deelicious. Asparagus was steamed and sweet and huge! Potatoes were good too. Definately a great steakhouse. There is bacon strips at the bar.. but in my opinion bacon needs to be hot and the ones at the bar were room temp. So I didnt eat them. Wish we had room for dessert. But was too full. We will come again.

  • Edvin G.

    The service was great. The atmosphere was stellar. The bar area was exceptional. However, the food was average at best. Granted that their sides were delicious ( Mac & cheese, scallop potatoes) their main dishes were not of a four star restaurant. We had the boned prime rib and the lobster. The steak lacked depth in flavor and the lobster was inconsiderably over-priced. The price of the lobster was $135. I've had the same lobster at red lobster for a fourth of the price. In summary, Okay food, nice atmosphere and service, but over-hyped and over-priced.

    This is the place to be seen. I went on a Friday night with my date and two other couples. It was super packed. While there, we saw A-Rod, Cameron Diaz, some basketball players, Gloria Estefan, and some designer I forget the name of. Every so often a member of our table would say "ooh! there goes X!" craziness. the crowd in here is very rich. lots of hot, young girls with sugar-daddies. lots of impeccably dressed people. this place is def the place for the fab to feel fab and to be seen. my date pulled up in a Ferrari, and definitely wasn't the only one. there were multiple lambos and other similarly fab vehicles lining the street in front of the restaurant. the food was good, not stellar. i remember the salads being the high point of the meal: delicious!. the steaks were just OK. i thought the steak was dry and salty...eh. the drinks were good. i remember being impressed but not blown away by the food. i recommend coming here at least once if you can get in! :) Doorman ....Perfect....

    Hands down the best ever steak I ever had. Blows away Morton's, Ruth Chris, and Flemings. Went there for dinner on a Sunday night and it was crowded with a lot of attractive women (the most important part of the exeperience :-). I highly recommend getting the Bone-In Rib Eye medium rare along with the Mac and Cheese. The wine selection was excellent too.

    One of the best "scenes" in Miami. The food is pretty damn good too! The place is very hip, trendy and the vibe is great. Drawback is they pack you in. The tables are so close together that if you are thinking about something the people at the next table will hear it. Now to the food. The food is top notch and the bacon at the bar does a lot to make up for the 45 minute wait (with a reservation). Lobster cocktail is worth the price and the steaks are cooked to perfection. The sweet potato mash rocks. The fried chicken and waffles may be the best dish on the menu - give it a try, you will be surprised. The salads are large enough for a small army. The food does not disappoint.

    What can I say about this place that everyone else has not already said? Now im not one to go to a place just to see if I can see famous people or to feel important but I have heard that this place is the place to be seen if you are into that sort of thing. I was down in Miami for a bachelor party and heard this was the place to go not only for the scene but for the food. I also heard that it was near impossible to get a reservation for this place unless you had done it months in advance. We managed to bypass all that nonsense because we knew one of the managers so we got a prime table for 8 in a quiet corner of the restaurant on a busy Saturday night. The place is not huge but it seems smaller than it is because they cram in the tables at this place. The service is on point, but sometimes you get that feeling like you should do things their way or they scoff at the way you choose to order. Now to meat and potatoes (no pun intended). The food menu had a lot to offer and the traditional offerings were available as you would expect from any steak house. I opted for the Porterhouse which is meant for 2 people but could easily feed 3 or 4 people. We had a couple of bottles of wine and some appetizers to share with everyone and then we also got sides for the table. I have to say that with everything that we tried, it was just your average steak house like a mortons or a Ruth's Chris. I cant imagine cooking a steak so differently that they can charge an extra 15 to 20 bucks more. Sure they aged it for 2 weeks then gave it a massage, then rubbed it down with oil, then let it rest for another 2 weeks, then bought it a vacation to an all inclusive resort for a month....blah bla blah bla blaza blah. I enjoyed the food but for my money I would rather go somewhere else where steaks are not $40-$50 a pop. If you want to give this place a try once, go for it! It was a good experience but this is not some place where you would go every weekend....more like once every 5 years.

    We went for lunch to avoid the crowds, since the tables are very close to each other. Appetizer: Lobster Cocktail - best i've had Main Course: Rib Eye - very good Chilean Seabass - best i've had. melts in your mouth. Side Dishes: homemade tater tots - just okay. wouldn't order again. Lobster mac and cheese - great. Dessert: Fried Oreos - AMAZING. Service outstanding.

    I found this place looking for steakhouses on Zagat (and later checked out to see how Yelp rated it) and they did not disappoint. I tagged along on a business trip with my dad to Miami and I was even told by the hotel if we could get a resv this was the place to go...again all was true. We got a little lost on the way here, and where even 40 minutes late on a sunday when they where packed, but they where really cool about it and sat us immediately...big plus in my book. The waiter was really cool, and dressed perfectly for a steak house, the first thing he told us was they serve everything family style and we assumed it would be nice portions like many other steak houses...but the appetizers and sides could feed a small country there so freakn big (and we realized it after the fact)! My dad had the signature salad and I had the scallop and braised rip appetizer (both of which could be main courses at any other restaurant). I didnt try the salad but he said it was superb and as for the scallops they where giant and super tender/flavorful plus they came with great mashed potatoes. The salad was like a foot high and a foot wide. For dinner we decided to split the porterhouse for 2 along with the hash-browns, mac & cheese. The has-browns were insanely good and each bit had some crunch and some follow through with a nice butter flavor. The mac & cheese was a bit to rich for our liking on the other hand. The steak was great as well, it came out on a hot plate and they cut the entire thing for us...they also rested it on a slant so all the juices made a nice dipping pool at the bottom of the plate. The only bad thing about ordering such a big steak is that when you are near the end the juices from the steak are overtaken by the butter on the steak and its not the greatest flavor. So if i was to go here again I would just get the NY strip to avoid this problem. For desert we got the bread pudding and the donuts...both of which could send a diabetic into shock by just looking at them...and they where just as big as everything else we got. The carmel brad pudding was crazy good and who can say no to homemade donuts with strawberry and chocolate dipping sauce. Lastly, any place that serves bacon at the bar instead of peanuts/pretzels you know only good things will come when you actually order food!

    Been to a million steak houses, this one ranks pretty low on the list for me, their deal is quantity, huge portions but the server failed to mention this to the two of us so we greatly over ordered, sea bass was of course huge but tasted old (fishy and tough). There are a lot of amazing places to eat in Miami that you can over pay for, don't put this first on your list.

    This place is very trendy. Beautiful people are walking in and out of the restaurant. Your group will not get seated unless everyone is present. When everyone is present, you may have to wait a little bit in the Miami Heat. The food is okay, nothing spectacular. I just didn't feel the love in it. I got the arugula salad and shared the fillet Mignon with my friend. I was with a bachlorette party and compliments of the chef she got a huge sausage. Plus to Prime 112 for noticing the Bride to Be! All in all it is a great atmosphere and I was with really fun girls so we had a great time. Also, the waiter's service was excellent!

    Prime One Twelve was very good, but I thought it would be a little bit better. Now keep in mind I am spoiled by the plethora of amazing steakhouses in Philadelphia, so maybe this is the top of the charts in Miami. Ambiance was awesome. I sat outside on a gorgeous evening and couldn't have been happier with the table we had or the service. We decided to skip the appetizers and go straight into the main course with lots of sides. It seemed like the right thing to do. I mean - what are you doing at a steakhouse filling up on salad?! :) Though the salads looked good on others' tables. Anyway, my sister and friend Justin did 8 oz. filets and I had the NY Strip. The steaks were off-the-hook good. Everyone enjoyed theirs immensely. The sides were good, but this is where I thought they would have been off-the-charts great. We had brussel sprouts with pancetta. The pancetta was kinda just plopped on top of overcooked brussel sprouts. They were kind of mushy, and I wished they were cooked with diced pancetta. Truffle fries were awesome - crispy and delicious. Beets with bleu cheese were good but nothing special. Special sauces were fun to order and try with the steaks. I had the steak sauce but wished I had tried the chimichurri...something different. Anyway, I'd totally go back to Prime One Twelve in a heartbeat - it was a really nice experience. But next time I think I'm rockin' more apps and less sides! :)

    They know they are a hot spot in Miami Beach, thats why they make you wait a lot for a table, even if you have a reservation. The problem here is one I find a lot in Miami and is that a restaurant is either focused on their food, or in looking good.... This guys are too focused in looking good, nice place, very cool atmosphere, great enviroment really, but the food....... well all I can say is that for the price they charge you you should expect something a whole lot better. Their wine list its pretty good. If you want to watch and be watched go, If you want to eat a great steak (its a steakhouse) then dont go. Will I go back? Only if somebody else invites me ;)

    PRIME 112 Lives up to the hype. Sitting outside is waaaay better. And yes, don't leave there without having the fried oreos. Reservations: yep you need them and when you get there it's a circus at the reservation desk. Nothing this New Yorker can't navigate but certainly not for the meek or timid. Walk uo to the desk and make yourself known. Otherwise watch the world and steak pass you by. But I suggest sitting outside. You will be seated fatser, catered to just the same, and won't have to deal with the humm and noise of the indoor dining area. They have heating lamps outside so it's toasty warm. Inside is lovely but if you want to sit inside expect to wait 30 mins past your reservation time. I think they do it purposely so they get people to have drinks at the bar $$$$ THE FOOD: steak is great, made right. I topped my 8oz filet with chimmichurri sauce SOOO GOOD. We ordered the raved about lobster ravioli as a side and I have to say, I liked it but wasn't overly blown off my chair. I'm a potato girl so next time I'm keeping it pure and sticking to a potato as a side. The salad is huge and can be shared as can all the sides. The oysters were fantastic!! Atmosphere: land of the panty dropping. Lot's of gold-diggers out with sugar daddies. Lot's of older folks enjoying a night out and lot's of athletes. When I went inside to the ladies room there was a table of 10 Miami Dolphins. Interestingly, I liked Prime Italia better. I felt the set up was more social with the bar area right at the front. Like if I had to choose which I'd rather go back to I'd say Prime Italia plus it has steak and pasta so one person can order a steak the other a pasta and then share. Both are great though. Bill came to $250 for two (beverages were 4 stells artois and 1 glass of red wine). KIDS: don't even think of bringing them. This is NOT a place for anyone under 13. Which only makes me love it more. DRESS CODE: Guys do the dark denim, buttondown shirt or sports jacket. NO SNEAKERS you'll look like an idiot. AND for the love of Pete NO pleated front kakhis. Ladies, think sexy office babe and less vegas strip. This is a classy place and there's really no need for the fake double D's to be on the table with the steak. Dress with class and be treated with class. I rocked a pencil skirt, heels and a v-neck 3/4 sleeve top with a large belt to cynch the waist. Let's just say the Miami Dolphins seemed to like the ensemble. Enjoy the steak!

    Certainly the South Beach standard when it comes to awesome food, awesome clientele and arguably the best restaurant "scene" in Miami. Huge, healthy portions of food truly justify the high cost of dining here. Star spotting at its very best.

    I went to Prime One Twelve expecting a delicious meal and fantastic atmosphere and it's exactly what I got! I loved the crowd at the bar while I waited to be seated, the bartender was attentive and friendly, and the meal was outstanding. I had the lobster bisque, filet mignon, and sweet potato mash. Definitely a place I'll try again.

    What can be said that hasn't already been said about his celeb mega-hotspot? You know about the bacon slices in the bar area for bar snacks instead of peanuts? Total decadence. Great Ambiance. Subdued lighting. Trendy atmosphere, packed with celebrities. Outstanding service. Even though the place was packed, service was prompt, attentive, jovial and not overbearing. Top notch dining. Huge Portions. You get what you pay for so be prepared to splurge a little bit. The menu has a fine selection of sea food and steaks. Seriously, it's ridiculous how great everything on the menu is, from appetizers to desserts. Must try are theMaine lobster cocktail, Slow braised boneless Short-ribs, Chilean Sea bass, sautéed mushrooms and the Fried Oreos. Coming from New York, I say prices are fair. With a bill of $130 per head for an appetizer, entree, side and dessert.It's not cheap, but it's certainly not unreasonable. This is the place to enjoy good food and a great crowd. Not to be missed when you are in South Beach.

    I like the food but the front desk service is atrocious!! I made the reservation a week in advance. I arrived 30min early to confirm the reservation. Then arrived exactly on time and was then kept waiting 90min to be seated!! Lucky for them the bar staff are great.

    One of the worst steakhouses I have ever been too. The service was horrible, you can not move around in the restaurant, the noise level was a little loud for a restaurant that wants to be higher end, and the quality of food was average at best. Do not waste your time, money, or patience at Prime One Twelve. There is nothing that is special about this place. Other than it has a bunch of want-a-be-somebody in Miami Beach.

  • Anon M.

    One of the very best steakhouses in the country--and I've been to KC, Texas, and other major steak locations. Yes, it's expensive, but I think the quality of the food and the service are very high. I've only gone to the restaurant in the early evening, so I've rarely waited more than 15 minutes for a table, but I've never encountered any major issues. A classy and hip place with unusually strong professionalism for Miami Beach.

    I L-O-V-E this restaurant....& i'm a vegetarian! I agree with Lisa W. this restaurant is comparable to Mastro's which for me is one of the best steakhouses there is! Now don't judge me because I dont eat meat. These reviews come from me & my carnivore boyfriend :) This is our 2nd time eating here but my first review. I love the bar here, really nice atmosphere and good bartenders. Not to mention the cups full of bacon that my bf just loves to eat while having a drink waiting for our table :) The first time we sat outside but this time decided to sit inside. Both are good. There are tons of people at this place - great for people watching hehe. Lots of pretty girls and good looking men. If you are single this is the place to have a drink at with ur gfs! So we started with a side for an appetizer, the food portions are HUGE here so a side was more than enough to split for an app! Spinach & Parmesan Stuffed Tomatoes - ($13) SO yummy, it is one massive genetically grown tomato that is split in half and stuffed with so much cheese and bread crumbs etc, it was heavenly! I couldn't even finished the half tomato and my bf ended up eating it the next morning (which he said does not taste good at all after refrigeration! just a warning lol) My bf ordered the blackened local swordfish w/arugula & papaya salsa ($35) he liked it but he said it was a little too fried/blackened. I ordered the signature salad knowing it was MASSIVE and it would be a great take-home-treat! It was! My GOD this salad is huge, like way bigger than cheesecake factory salad (to give you an idea) ($20). We also got the sauteed forest mushrooms ($13) - they were good, better than mastros but not the best we have tasted. We are sauteed mushrooms connoisseurs :) the meal was HUGE and superrrrr tasty! This is the kind of restaurant that we will go back to every time we are in Miami. If you like Mastros (we are from arizona so we are always there) you will definitely love this east coast steakhouse :)

    This was mediocre AT BEST and the service SUCKED ! I realize Miami is not a "food" town- but this was just silly. If this is the best Miami has to offer- they may want to introduce themselves to NYC or SF food culture. Most of food TRUCKS in SF are better quality and taste than prime112.

    So you're rich, you've saved up or you've got a corporate card to lay down (recommended) and now you're off to Prime. You already made the choice so I'll leave the typical review out because you probably did some research and your mind is made up. The only thing I'll say about the food is that it's all pretty good and I hope you like butter and truffle oil. Now, a few random tips: Parking - The lot across the street in front of Nikki Beach is pay to park, so you can do that, or valet for $15-$20 if you hate walking 200 yards. Bacon on the Bar - If you have to wait, mosey on over to the bar and grab a slice of bacon. It's fun and pretty damn good bacon. Tables - Eat in the main dining room, if they try to seat you in the hallway ask if there is anything else available. The hallway sucks. Groups - There are two large tables at the front of the house that they typically seat larger groups at. Of the two, the low top is better, as the high top by the bar gets crowded by the people at the bar. I don't know if they will do it on request, but for a more private group dining experience I've eaten upstairs in a private room. Upstairs - Again, don't know if you can request it, but there are private dining rooms upstairs (with beds!) that I believe were/are part of the hotel. Another note about dining upstairs - it is quiet. Not the typical 112 experience and I wouldn't recommend it. Bathrooms - One single downstairs and there's another set upstairs at the end of the hallway. That's all I got. Hopefully it helps make Prime 112 as enjoyable as possible. Enjoy it.

    After landing a reservation on only a week's notice and consulting with previous Yelp reviews, I went into my dinner at 112 with some concern about a long wait for a table, snotty service and subpar food. None of this was the case. My wife and I arrived for our 7pm reservation on Saturday night and waited a torturous 15 seconds before getting seated by the friendly, smiling hostesses. The pace wasn't packed when we sat down in the main dining room but it was busy and not too terribly loud. We dressed nice for the meal but some people there were wearing jeans and untucked polo shirts. It wasn't overly swanky and certainly not pretentious. Our server, Erica, was friendly and attentive. The other staff members supplemented her service very nicely. Zero complaints, and her suggestions were excellent. I'm prefacing the sections about our meal with this: Everything served is in massive portions. If there's cream in any part of your dish, expect a lot of it. Examples forthcoming. After ordering wine and gorging on the bread (the cheese scones are among the best pre-meal breads I've ever had), I had the tomato soup and my wife had the french onion soup. Gigantic bowls were placed in front of us and we slurped away. Both soups were good -- the french onion was specifically distinctive as it didn't taste quite like traditional french onion soup. The tomato bisque was a little too creamy for my tastes but I finished it -- what does that tell you? My advice, despite the good flavor, is to pass on the soup and salads unless with a big party. For dinner we each had a filet with scalloped parmesan potatoes and steamed broccoli with cheddar fondue. The sides at Prime 112 are all amazing -- we had a tough choice making the call on these sides but with help from Erica we got two good ones. We received a massive bunch of warm, steaming broccoli with a gravy boat loaded with cheddar and a small casserole dish of potatoes in this magnificent creamy (maybe too creamy?) parmesan sauce with crumbs on top. Both sides were fabulous. The steaks were good. Not the best I've ever had, not the best I've ever had in Miami but good. Seemed like the primary seasoning was salt, and there wasn't a whole lot else to it. I did find the quality of the meat to be terrific as the cut was tender and smooth, and it was cooked fine the first time (my wife sent hers back; she ordered medium well and came out medium rare). But I found myself taking some of the cheese from the potato dish and putting it on my steak to make it great. Maybe that's the kid in me, but I wasn't blown away by the steak especially compared to the price we paid. We ate too much and couldn't order any dessert, but their dessert menu was very impressive. We did see their bread pudding dessert and it was large and decadent. Save room. When we left at well past 8 p.m., the place was packed with plenty of beautiful people and many were waiting inside and outside for a table. Seems like making our reservation for 7 p.m. saved us a lot of headache that you might have read about in previous negative Yelp reviews. You can probably get away with a 7:30 reservation and not have to deal with a wait. Final bill for two steaks, two sides, two soups and wine, with tip: $220. The high price for good, not excellent, steaks make this a four-star review. The service, sides and atmosphere were all amazing. We'll be back, but we might come with a larger party so we can try more food -- the menu and pricing is built for parties of four or more.

    Just ate here for the 5th time the other day, and I'd have to agree completely with Maria. Overall, the restaurant is good, but nothing extraordinary, especially for the price point. They have a decent lunch menu and I really enjoy the steak sandwich. A lot of people talk about the mac-n-cheese...I think it's a pretty big let down. The fries are ok and the homestyle chips are...meh. As I was eating the other day, I put my fork down and began thinking about the overall dining experience there. I was rather surprised and disappointed that a place charging so much didn't have better service or ambiance. My server was very friendly, but you don't get the attention and service that you'd receive at a "fine" restaurant like Il Gabbiano. Steakhouses are a dime a dozen here in Miami and if you're going to be charging these exorbitant prices, you need to be more unique and set yourself apart in some way. In my opinion, Prime One Twelve does not succeed in doing so. If you have unlimited funds and don't really care about a good value, by all means, go. Otherwise, I'd steer clear and choose somewhere else to dine.

    If you like to be treated like shit....then go to Prime 112! We had 7:00 reservations and was not seated until 8:30. Their excuse "the demand is greater than the supply"! Really???? Then why did you take our reservation!? We eat out often and have never been treated so poorly. We definitely will not return and not sure why others do. Everyone that was waiting was complaining....not a good way to run a business Mr. Chefetz! It will catch up on you. Service was good, food was good too but there are lots of great steak restaurants that want your business and will treat you with respect! Suggest you try Capital Grille, Ruth Chris, Morton's - They know how to run a restaurant!

    Again I don't give five stars to just any place. This is another one of my top three favorite places!!!!! They have a great atmosphere, the service is impeccable and the food is just simply amazing. From the simple appetizer cesar salad, to the mint chocolate brownie desert EVERYTHING on their menu is delicious. Even if you're just sitting at the bar, don't expect bowls of plain peanuts, these folks serve up a heaping cup full of thick sliced glazed bacon that I could eat all night. Even though steak is their thing, it seems to me that all of their main dishes taste like it's their specialty. You can expect this place to be hopping at almost anytime of the day. Weekends are their busiest and you might not get in without a reservation so call early if that's when you prefer to go. Live Eat Enjoy

    If I am rating the food here, I give it 5 stars. If I am rating the management and overall experience, I give it 2 stars. I knew that on a Saturday night, Prime One Twelve would be very busy, but I was not prepared for amount of craziness there. We had 9:30 dinner reservations. When we checked in, our table obviously wasn't ready, so we decided to get a drink at the bar. There were so many people packed inside that we literally could not get to the bar. So instead of having a drink, we had to stand against a wall and hope to get seated soon. By 11:15pm, we were still not seated. At this point, we were frustrated, starving, and couldnt even get a drink. We approached the hostess stand and basically said, "remember us"? Shortly after, we were asked to follow the hostess to our table. She walked outside and then around the building... They added a table (with wobbly plastic chairs) to the side of the building, in the alley, next to the bus bins. With all of that being said, the waiter was very pleasant and had a lot of really good recommendations. We ordered the Porter House steak for 3 of us girls, and it was more than enough and delicious! The Mac & Cheese was also to die for. Best part was, it started raining when our steak arrived. We had no umbrella over the table, but had waited so long to eat that we just stayed there and got wet (so much for getting our done!!). Living in Manhattan, I know good food. Though, I also know that service doesn't need to be sacraficed to eat good food. I think the hostess/management staff needs to get it together and not take more reservations than they can handle (or have enough tables for) in one night.

    Pfft with a side of meh.... Let me start by saying that I am a native and work in the industry. Monday night, 9pm reservation for 2 & weren't seated until after 10. After watching the flow at the front door for a while it became clear that their policy must be to triple book the restaurant in a sad attempt to manufacture ambience or to appear better than they are. Hey, it's south beach and they can get away with it. Bar staff was attentive and handled the impatient crowd well. The bar area however is way too small, uninviting, and cramped. Be prepared to have strangers in your face. The glasses of community bacon are a great idea in theory until you see everyone putting their grubby fingers in the glass, in their mouth, and back in the glass. No thanks. We were sat at 10:15 after we approached the hostess to ask about our table. Worse than that they took us next door to their overflow dining room which I guess doubles as the hotel lobby earlier in the day. This room had no ambience and zero atmosphere. Our waiter had no personality aside from snobbery... He made no recommendations, hardly spoke, and was more interested in his 6 top seated next to us. Food overall was blah....our french onion soup was ok, foie gras was cooked well but overall uninspired, the bone in ribeye was the worst I've had, no flavor except for salt. Lobster was over cooked. Mushrooms were inedible and returned. Mac n cheese was alright. We didn't stay for dessert. Not even the idea of fried Oreos and ice cream could keep us there. Sad.

    I decided to give Prime 112 a visit for my B-day and I am sure glad I did! I made my reservation for 8 people. 4 of us got in early and had a few drinks at the bar while we waited for the other 4 to arrive. Once all of my party arrived we were seated immediately. The staff was very friendly and accomodated to our every wishes even explaing menu items and so forth. Everything was going great! For my appetizer I ordered the pan seared diver scallops which were amazing! Then went on to enjoy a filet mignon and you must try the 5 cheese truffle mac! One of the best mac and cheese I have ever eaten! When it was time for dessert the fried oreos was a definite must and pretty much sealed the deal as one of my favorite dessert. I left the restaurant very satisfied! The scene was loud but not obnoxious good for a Thursday night. I'm sure the weekends are far more busier but I do avoid the weekends. I would recommend this place if you want some very good steak and amazing side dishes. But the fried oreos are a must to try!!!

    Hands down my favorite restaurant in all of Miami. Yes, its very pricey so be prepared to pay anywhere from 100-200 average per person. The french onion soup and the sea bass are mouth watering delishousness!! Try to get a seat on the patio during high season (fall-winter) months and you might just bump into about five different celebrities! Their steaks are great as well...although I am a bigger fan of the sea bass! This place is a do not miss in Miami! The scenery, the food, and the wait staff are all above and beyond.

    Absolutely horrible experience. Made 9pm reservations. We got there and it was crowded like a club. with barely anywhere to walk. I had to fight my way up to the hostess desk which was flanked on all sides by customers. They told me my table would be ready in an hour (um, why did I make a reservation in that case?). I came back in an hour. Mind you, it's 10PM at this point and they tell me there are still no tables available and the 7:30 reservation has yet to be seated. The restaurant was also about 110 degrees at this point. It was like being in a hot yoga studio. People were sweaty gross and hungry. After throwing some elbows and battling my way back to the hostess desk they tell me they will text me when a table becomes available. We decided at 10:15 that we'd like to eat and went to steak954 instead where they waited for us to arrive near 11pm and allowed us to have a nice romantic 1.5 - 2 hour dinner. We leave steak954 near 1am and still no text from Prime 112. Don't need to mention that I won't be venturing to this establishment regardless of the hype. They simply do not care/ respect their customers. There are plenty of other great steakhouses I'd rather go to.

    This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. After arriving on time for our reservation, we waited 2 hours before we were seated. We checked in several times at the hostess station and were assured that we would be seated soon. Then when they did seat us, they sat us outside after specifically stating we wanted to be inside. They finally seated us at a weird table that felt like we were in a hallway. Service was slow and the food was just ok.

    Its very trendy, type of place people want to be seen. Maybe I've been in Miami too long and not into that at all. I like to go around 5 pm, when there's no one there and sit by the bar. Hands down the best steak tartar in Miami. Count how many items on the menu have truffle....kind of annoying if you ask me...

    i had a wonderful time at Prime 112. We went on a saturday night and had an appetizer of King Alaskan Crabs that tasted like they were melting in your mouth. Entrees were the short ribs which were nice and tender and the half chicken which was so crispy and delicious. for dessert we had the fried oreos which practically melted in your mouth and were wonderful with the vanilla ice cream. can't wait to go again, My favorite Miami restaurant. The restaurant is pricey though $170 for two people., but well worth it.

    I had nothing but a good experience when I went here. If you don't mind being out of the action, ask for one of the rooms upstairs; they are nice, but more importantly only seem to be given when asked about. There was a 2 hour wait when I went, and we walks straight in because we were okay with being upstairs. The service was wonderful, and the steak was perfectly prepared, but what really got me was the desert. Chocolate chuck cookies, the chocolate was liquefied on the inside, so when I took a bite it just exploded, simply wonderful.

    There isn't much to add that hasn't been written by the 325 people who reviewed this before me. Come hungry, leave happy. Best people watching on the beach. It will break the bank but so worth it. Everything is just that good. Definitely make reservations.

    My wife and I were at Prime 112 both on Valentine's Day and on Saturday night of Labor Day weekend, the rib eye steak was fantastic which we shared because the other entrees are so good, both the au gratin potatoes and the creamed corn.. but the real highlight of the evening was the service, although there was a celebrity in house on both occasions our young server treated us as royalty even though we are just a couple from Illinois doing a romantic weekend down in Miami Beach together.. are bringing a couple we know from home who winter in Fort Lauderdale there in ten days so please don't let us down and have already requested Erika as our waitress, she is amazing!

    I would have to say besides Hakkasan this is the best people ogling place you can find.... known to be a favorite hangout of the HEAT players; you can find them here after the games on some (if not most) home games. I am not carnivorous so I can not give good (or any) review on the steaks I am a fan of their salads & appetizers tho :-)~ If you wanted a little more privacy I would suggest booking one of their private rooms upstairs * Will give review on Prime Italian *I'm a little bias ;-)

    Truffle mac and cheese: TOO much lovin', really. I could only stomach five bites. The arugula salad with goat cheese and beets was decent. I stopped by here on the suggestion of a friend, KNOWING it was a steak house but I still hoped for a better menu for a non-meat eater. The side options were so....steak-side-like and just didn't strike me as seeming delicious. What I did order was quite tasty and MORE than enough for me, and judging by the fact that my table neighbors were the LIV nightclub owners and the large loud group inside was a group of Dolphin players I'm going to go ahead and guess the steak is damn good, too. I called over on a Sunday night at 1040 and asked for a table for one at 11 and got it easily. The wine selection is not their selling point and I ordered a Justin cab out of boredom and purely to pay homage to my home in Paso Robles. (For the record, I'm NOT a fan of Justin and don't recommend it.) I'll have to go back and try something new. The tomato bisque sounded interesting....One glass of wine, a salad and five bites of the richest mac n cheese I've ever had cost me $60.

    Made reservation 2 weeks before my girls trip to miami. I wanted dinner rsvp at 830pm or later.. but the onky slot they have is 7pm. well, we took that one. We got here about 20 minutes late (girls and getting ready can take some time) but we got seated right away... but we were not seated in the main building since there was no table available at that one. If we knew that the main one is more happening, we would ask to be seated there. :( As soon as we got seated, they brought us the bread basket that has 4 different kind of bread - 2 kind of cheese bread, 1 bread with walnut in it, and i brown bread. All of them are delicious.. we can't stop eating them. I ordered bone in filet medium rare.. and it's PERFECT!... i ate at mastro's beverly hills several times and always this those are the best ones, but WOW, this one is actually better than mastro's! the outside is crispy and it's perfectly cooked! my girlfriends ordered the filet mignon and seabass. Both are wonderful too. we shared the lobster mac and cheese, mushroom, and asparagus. All of them are very good. We almost skipped dessert because we were already full and afraid we wont fit into our dresses... but well, we have sweet tooth so we decided to order the bread pudding and share it. . the bread pudding is ooo good. I love cinnamon...and. i can smell the cinnamon as soon as they put the plate on the table. The pudding is topped with vanilla ice cream and candied walnuts... sooo soooo good!! (**drooling from imagining it now***) Oh, i also had the watermelon martini. It's very refreshing! well done!!

    No stars for the constant attitude at the door, three stars for service and four stars for the food which keeps me (and others) coming back for more :) Goes to show you - hospitality isn't that important after all if you can dish out a great steak and more than generous portions. I'll be back as usual.

  • Rob J.

    Had a great meal here with my wife. The food was great, nothing but positive things to say---order at least 1 dish less than you want to because the portions are huge. The only negative was we sat a table that butted up against the bar- in the middle of the dining room but still---people's asses were in our face all night. One guy basically fell on top of me and instead of politely excusing himself tried to start a fight. Really? Just be on your way. He was the type of guy that was wearing jeans with a giant gold chain though so hey, maybe its just his style.

    This is still my very favorite place in South Florida. Ironically, I like the lobster stuff the best.... it is unmatched. Also, not to missed are the deep fried oreo cookies!

    The question I asked myself at the end of my evening at Prime One Twelve was " who in the fire marshall's office did they have to pay to get their occupancy limit so high?" I've never seen so many people packed into such a small place (with the exception of Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills.) I love the bar here, and our bartender was super. She heard me toast my fiance for his birthday, and immediately came around with a "birthday shot" which was cute. I probably would go back to the bar many times, but the restaurant is really a once a year type place for me. Dinner was delicious. It really is a place to go with a group though - as there is nothing intimate about this restaurant. If you aren't careful, the waiters will totally rush your food. The two tables on either side of us turned twice each while we were there. We ordered the tuna appetizer, which was a whopping $36. It was a huge portion of tuna - which for two people is kind of a waste. We only ate about half of it, but it was incredible. The lobster mac and cheese is truly a treat, and at $25 worth every penny. Although the restaurant is really awesome... it's not exactly memorable. Compared to other steak houses like Chop House or Morton's... there is no real rapport with the staff - no manager is going to come by and thank you for coming. It's a place that knows it's minting money, so they don't really feel the need or desire to charm you. So foodwise - A+... but that's not the only reason we dine out. The experience needs to count too... And for that I give it a C.

    Prime One Twelve is overrated. Ressie at 830, sat at 910. No drink menu on sitting, had to ask for it. Steak came out warm, not hot. Mashed potatoes were cold. They forgot the corn side, and we had to ask for it. The waiter gave away some of our Pellegrino, after they moved our table, then told me I had finished it. My wife doesn't drink it, and I had only one and a half glasses of it. Not enough to finish a large bottle. Creamed spinach had Parmesan, though waiter said it didn't. Wife has a strong preference against cheese. Had to ask for wife's second coke numerous times. Dinner served with no plates at 10:30. Plus, no steak knives. Both came no sooner than eight minutes later. A warm steak, became cooler. On the upside, desserts were amazing. The steak, though not hot, was not terrible. Meal with two comped drinks, two comped desserts, and a comped corn side was around $200. At these prices, I want good food and service. Prime One Twelve is past its prime. Next time I'm in Miami, my restaurant dollars go elsewhere.

    Underwhelmed. The scene is great, but the bone in ribeye I had should have been a much higher quality cut for $52 bucks. The fried Oreos are not all that either. I sat at the bar with some excellent bartenders. I'd go if I were you,

    I walked into this place on a bustling Friday night and met a group of friends having drinks at the bar. So far so good...typical South Beach chi-chi bar but wait..what's that I see? Apparently they serve bacon strips here as snacks to accompany the cocktails! I was totally impressed and ready for an awesome meal. Bacon! I was with a party of about 8 so we ordered various appetizers, dishes, sides to share but I will only comment on what I ate. I ordered a 32 Oz. Bone-in rib-eye medium rare to share with my rather large brother, in addition to an Iceberg Wedge. The steak was tasty, super juicy and the truffle butter addition helped. The wedge was great with meaty chunks of pork belly to compliment the thick, robust bleu cheese. The garlic parm fries were delicious and the mac n cheese was hands down the best I've ever had. Someof the dishes i didn't try looked great too. I looked over to the table on my left and saw a lobster claw about the size of my entire hand out-stretched...Yum. I think it was somewhere around 4.5 lbs but who's counting? I would absolutely eat at Prime 112 again the next time I'm in South Beach.

    Lobster Mac & Cheese. If the word decadence had a sibling, then the Lobster mac would be its kid sister. This place is amazing, from the 'at home' ambiance, to the star studded line up (My girlfriend and I met Cuba Gooding Jr.). It's a great place to check out. It's quite pricey, but well worth the wait. The only downside I would say, is that sometimes it's a little cramped on friday nights.

    Prime One Twelve has an amazing ambiance, however for the price, I wasn't extremely impressed with the food. I can't speak for the steak since no one in my party ordered it, but everything else was good, not great. To start, we had the foie gras and the truffle deviled eggs. The fioe gras was amazingly decadent and delicious. I could have done without the deviled eggs. They were covered in truffle oil, which usually isn't a bad thing, however this time it was just too overpowering. For my entree I had the pan seared scallops appetizer (turned into an entree), which it was quite good, but nothing special. It came with truffle mashed potatoes, and again, the truffle didn't compliment, and seemed as though they were just covering up the potatoes with truffle oil. My friends had the braised short ribs and the Chilean sea bass as entrees. The sea bass was good, well cooked and seasoned nicely. The short ribs were tasty, but nothing special. As a side we ordered the truffle mac & cheese, which was great, but after eating so much truffle, all of the dishes started to taste the same. Overall, the food at Prime One Twelve is good, but not amazing. I think the problem was that the food was covered in truffle oil as a way of making things more decadent, but it just didn't work for me.

    Go partially for the scene and experience, and part for the food. The food is tip top-I've had a lot of steaks and these are great. Expect an expensive night out and good people watching, so sit back and enjoy the service and scene. Great menu, and importantly for a steakhouse, very approachable for women. Doesn't have that heavy steak vibe.

    5 star atmosphere IF you are looking to hook up or are in the mood to show of...Only requirement to feel good among this crowd is that you must drive ( or rent) an italian or german car, and it can not be neither 4 seater nor more than 3 years old, unless you collect those million dollar autos over 50. Powerful testosterone guided men, join big booby, skimpy dressed phermone spraying ( copied that from another reviewer... Jeje describes exactly what I saw) females. Those who are into desperate underserved 40 and 50 something women with good looks, come on bye!! Am I being a tad disrispectful? Come on people, grow up, EVEN if you are afraid to cross the Miami Bridge back onto the main land. Its crazy that people like this can treat and look upon others with disdain, and not have a clue of how they act. Food is OK. Not terrible, not amazing either. I go with a friend on ocassion when we are " treating" younger yuppi like clients. I mean, its fun, if you are in the mood for playing.... But i rather play with my 6 year old or converse with my 13 year old ( i feel responsible that they do not grow to want to be like this crowd). If you are looking for a excellent steak and are FOCUSED ON the experiencing the STEAK, then go to Capital Grill or Smith and Wollenkis.

    Impossible to get a reservation but once you're there the food and staff are great/. Def worth the wait. i also love that they play cheesy rNb music in the background). One thing not to be missed is there deep fried oreo cookie dessert - you will wonder how you've ever lived without them!

    Best environment, steak and wine is South Beach! This place is absolutely amazing!! if your date is wearing a black dress... she will get a black napkin... If you are anyone in South Beach you will be here! You will surely have the best steak that your mouth has ever tasted here. The Valet puts your car right out front! go here for sure!

    I am on Vacation in Miami and when on vacation I love going to places and doing things that I can't do at home. With this in mind this usually means one of two things, either its going to be expensive, or its going to be an interesting night. I don't mind spending money on a good time or atmosphere and I definitely enjoy an interesting night. With that being said, My Girlfriend and I made reservations for 9:00, we had to wait a couple minutes to be seated which actually worked out in our benefit as we were able to realize why we came to Prime 112, this place was an amazing place to people watch. We saw a celebrity within 15 minutes of being here. People watching is a big reason why certain places command the price they do. We were seated, the location was very good, as my girlfriend got a perfect view of what was going on within the restaurant. (She was Happy) SO the night started, it seemed as if they wanted to ensure that our dinner went quick, as we were quickly asked what we wanted, and what we would be drinking, and felt bad by saying we needed some time. We looked at the wine list and decided to have a bottle of red wine. There was a very good and comprehensive list of wines, our bottle was about ($60) which isn't terrible for a restaurant.. The lowest was about $45 and the most expensive being $10k bordeaux. We than were asked what we would like for dinner, which was really the only bad part of the night. I felt like I was cheap for ordering a $68 filet mignon on the bone, because I didn't order any sides with the steak, and my girlfriend ordered crab encrusted grouper ($48). The reason I didn't like this part was because there are certain things Filet Mignon, that I enjoy with NO sauce or sides, Just Wine and Steak. However when the food came, I was very happy, the steak was cooked to perfection, it was a little charred on the outside, but the inside was perfection. The Steak was very good, and the Grouper was some of the best I have personally ever tasted. I love sea food, and have had some of the best in the world, freshly caught within hours, so when it comes to knowing the taste of fresh fish that is prepared properly I understand. The meal was great, and the service got much better once the waitress warmed up to us, I was still a little hungry after dinner, (by design) I love desserts. So I tried the Peanut Butter Snickers Pie, and when it came out i was very impressed. This was one of the biggest pieces of cake I have ever ate. When the bill came, I was actually pleasently suprised. A lot of people said that this restaurant was incredibly expensive, so I prepared for the worst, however for around $200, I had a very fulfilling dinner, and a good bottle of wine, and most of all a great dessert. Prime 112 did not dissapoint, I really did enjoy dinner, and the atmosphere. If you are looking for a great place to people watch, this is the place to go!!! I must say that I am a Fan of PRIME 112, GOOD FOOD, GOOD Atmosphere and Great service. (Side Note: sorta Funny the music came on for about 2 mins than went off for 20 minutes than came on for another 2 mins and never came back on, but thats not why I came to this Place)

  • SFSuperstar A.

    My 8 oz fillet was great... Very tender (maybe a tiny bit overcooked but still delicious). But the service is brusque and clueless. When I asked the waiter (who looked and spoke like a Brooklyn longshoreman) what varietals a wine on the wine list (Heller Estates "Dancers") was a blend of, he responded "it's a blend". Yeah, thanks... That's what I just asked. Then he said it's a meritage-style blend of cabernet, pinot noir, and petit verdot. It was clear that he was pulling grape names out of his ass. When I got home, I checked the varietals and saw that it was cab and merlot (pinot noir would be very odd to have blended with cabernet). A steakhouse should know their red wines, especially the ones by the glass. He at least should have checked with the sommelier.

    Had an amazing dinner there recently with a few friends. We had to wait 35 minutes past our reservation time for a table, but the wait was worth it. Cocktails was delicious, wine list was nice, and they give out strips of bacon at the bar (a dream!). The whole place was jammed full of people, but the staff didn't miss a beat and was friendly and attentive. Steak, sea bass, lobster mac and cheese - all fantastic. The brussell spouts were the only bad thing, too heavily flavored to taste like much more than salt and sugar. We suspected they were frozen, hence the over seasoning. However our server overheard us saying they weren't good and took them off our bill, which we definitely appreciated. I've been to a lot of nice steakhouses in NY, and this one was top notch.

    Oh Prime .... Devil eggs... hummm thinking about prime 112 gets me hungry.... Prime 112 has great food, the best Goat cheese salad and Devil eggs i ever had. Great sea bass and Dover sole... The steak is very taste and the side orders are unforgettable, you must try the truffle oil mac and cheese. Prime is the place to see and be seen , very trendy and expensive but if you are a tourist I'm Miami you must stop by and don't forget to make a reservation in advance. I promise that if you are into trendy and great meals you wont be disappointed. You have to be prepared to run into celebrities like Michael Jordan, Usher, Celine Dion, Mike Tyson... and more. I really enjoy having dinner at prime it's better to go on Thursday than Friday cuz it tends to get really busy and you may have to wait couple hours for a table even if you have a reservation. stop by and enjoy!

  • Rosalynn H.

    I've only been here once, but never or very rarely get such a great one time experience for the food at any restaurant. We had all ordered different items from side dishes to steak to fish and it was allllll goooood. Lots of well established restaurants are known for a few of their dishes, but here I would say you would be safe in ordering the Mignon (haven't tried the other steaks) or Salmon. For those who gave this place one star, I was curious to see what places they would give higher ratings to. One of them was the Nordstrom Cafe. Which is pretty good I must say, but really?! THAT much better than Prime 112? Don't hate it because of the atmosphere. Who cares if it's a see or be seen kind of scene. Trust me, you could be gawking at me and I would care less because my face would be all up in my plate. Good food.

  • Hayley K.

    Let me start this out by saying that if you are bothered by very long waits or being treated like crap by a hostess, simply don't go here. Having a reservation simply ensures that you will get to eat there that night, but not any time near your reservation time. My husband and I went on a friday night and there was a 15 minute wait to even check it, it was so crowded. then, they told us to wait at the bar which was super crowded and that they'd come get us when the table was ready. I have no idea how they would remember who we were with over 100 people at the bar, so I went back to check in 30 minutes after our reservation time and told them that we were just 2 people and were willing to sit anywhere, and by some miracle, they sat us then. There were other parties we were chatting with at the bar that had been waiting over an hour which I think is typical there. so if you're willing to endure the crappy treatment and the wait, i do recommend being a squeaky wheel and you are more likely to get sat. The food was quite good, as was the bread, and the portions were very large. You def don't need one ap and one entree per person. my husband and I shared the scallop/shortrib appetizer which was fully an entree size and it was delicious, and we also shared the chilean seabass which was excellent. If you are not very hungry, one app, one entree, and one dessert is enough for 2 ppl. Despite the rudeness at check-in, the waiter was very friendly and the food was very good. Also, the bread was incredible, and I was hardly even hungry after eating a piece of all 4 delicious types of rolls they gave. All in all, a good meal, but i think we just got lucky with getting a table, we also could have waited another hour easily. if you go, you are taking a risk with that.

  • Aimee C.

    I give Prime One Twelve 2 stars for service and food. The shrimp cocktail was delicious, they were huge and tasty, the salad; okay but not really anything to write about, the ribeye for two was aged to perfection but slightly undercooked to my request... Medium Rare... not Rare.. Ambiance, well, it's mediocre. I say this with a grain of salt, as I know this is the hot spot that everyone wants to go, the Heat, the Dolphins, the High Rollers and most of all the Bling Bling... It's fun, it's a scene it's a great place to grab a drink.. but not first on my list to grab a meal where you can enjoy your company for hours.. it was loud, I felt rushed and most of all a little over it. Maybe it's better for lunch.. or when it's not such a scene. My favorite part was the bartender.. he had a huge smile upon his face and made sure I was getting the attention I deserved...

  • Zeeye L.

    This is the only place you need to go for steak in Miami. The portions are meant for sharing between 3-4 people...seriously. Make reservations earlier in the night and you won't have to wait to be seated. On a busy night, with reservations, plan to wait past your reservation time. You can pass the time away at the bar. The steaks are done to perfection and very flavorful. The side dishes are marvelous. Here are my notes on the menu: -If they have the tuna tartare as the appetizer special, go for it. Hands down the freshest tuna I've had outside of Hawaii. -Their oysters rockefeller are average. Nothing that stands out. -The escargot is tender and buttery...mmmmm. -Their scalloped parmesan potatoes are the best anywhere. A must!! -The roasted beets were average. Nothing that stands out. - The brussels sprouts with panchetta were done very well. They roast baby brussels sprouts with crispy panchetta....so good. -The steaks speak for themselves. *drooling*

  • Mike M.

    The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because of the wait. Even with a reservation (and an early one- 7:45- at that), we waited nearly an hour, and it's very cramped in the bar area and the entryway. Nonetheless, once we were sat (by a hostess who could be a supermodel), everything was excellent. We were sat on the area located in the Prime Hotel, on 1st street, and it was certainly preferable to the more crowded main room. The server was attentive and informative without being pushy, and the food was excellent. Be forewarned, everything is large enough to share, often amongst four or more people (as was the case with the chopped salad, which was literally enough for 8 people). The shrimp cocktail was also very good (and had fantastic cocktail sauce which is what really makes it). My wife and I had a french onion soup, and our opinions diverged- I thought it was phenomenal, my wife thought Capital Grille's was better. Both we and the couple we were there each split a NY strip, and it was literally the best steak I've ever had. The garlic mashed potatoes were great too. It's definitely a place where people go to be seen, but it has legitimate culinary chops (no pun intended) to back it up. If you go in expecting to wait for a bit, you won;t be disappointed

  • Nick A.

    Servers and hostesses think they're gods gift to humanity..service straight outve hell..hour wait after making reservation.. Food was on point though..lobster mac..mushrooms..cheese bread.. Steak was a little too greasy def not as good as Abe and Louies..I would never go back not worth the attitude or price Ive been back a few times, the service is still sub par which is unnacceptable anywhere but especially if theyre charging you an arm and a leg to be treated like you belong on the bottom deck of the titanic..It may come off as a classy place but the service suggests otherwise. Why do i keep coming back then to shell out hundreds of bucks here ( for 2), the shrimp cocktail, french onion soup are 5 star worthy and its a great experience to align yourself with some stars of the sports and entertainment world..but really the side dishes are the real treat here (french onion, lobster mac, shrimp, stuffed tomato) theyre That good. the steak is not a must get and that is dissapointing, id take a steak from abes, red, STK over here easily, for this reason ill save money in the future and just order side dishes which still makes the hassle of this place worth it. A five star place has to give you your moneys worth from atmosphere down to your last bite of dessert and this place swings and misses when it comes to service, steak, and dessert, the fried oreos are good but really you can throw anything in a deep frier i much rather prefer the taste of a top notch cake (gotham steak) which you can tell some effort has been put into making. Not worth the calories and is very much ordered just off hype. Atmoshere- 5 stars Service- 2 stars, they dont honor reservations, you will wait 45 minutes after your reserved tine only to be given an attitude when asking how much longer and if you compare this place to restaurants who know how to act (commanders palace) its even that more mind boggling how out of touch this place is to the common person Appetizers and sides- 4 stars Steak- 3 and a half Dessert- 3 stars

  • Justin S.

    Very good service. Wait for table ridiculously long so you can sit in the tight bar area for over priced drinks. That being said, it is the place to see and be seen. You can split the porterhouse between 4 people if you get a salad (one for the table) and a couple sides.

  • George K.

    People always ask me which is the Best Steakhouse in Miami and the answer hands down is Prime112. Now the interesting part of this review happens Why? Well let's just say that it starts off with most beautiful people in Miami eat there and they are catered by an incredible staff led by Adrian and of course Victoria who each night pamper us with Gianormous Tender Steaks and Sea Bass that melts in your mouth with an Asian twist, also as important are the sides that are delicious like truffle crispy fries, creamy and I mean creamy corn, and finish off with Myles's mamas secret recipe dish of macaroni and cheese. Now all the portions are huge and made for sharing like their arugula and goat cheese salad or their organic apple salad. Appetizers which we love include their shrimp and Lobster cocktail made with the freshest ingredients and of course lets not forget about their famous sliders. Dessert if you still have room are not to be missed especially their fried Oreos which are OMG Good. So there you have it in a nut shell, all the right ingredients in making this restaurant one of the most popular in North America. When coming to Miami make Prime112 your destination restaurant and please make early reservations so that you are not disappointed with wait time which can sometimes happen.

    Prime 112 continues to be one of my favorite spots for good drinks, good people watching and amazing food. I was at Prime 112 a couple weeks ago with my girlfriend and 2 other friends. We shared the fondue for the table to start. The cheese fondue is delicious and served with bread, potatoes and apples. Its definitely too much for 2 people, but just right for a group of 4. The filet mignon I ordered was perfect. Cooked medium, just to my liking. If you like bearnaise, theirs is great as well. For the side, we ordered the truffle mac-n-cheese. Hands down, my favorite mac-n-cheese ever...and I've had plenty of mac-n-cheese in my lifetime. Now, the best part of our meal was definitely the dessert. We got 2 orders of the fried oreos. They give you 5 fried oreos served with ice cream on the side. It was probably a gazillion calories but so damn good!! Definitely, a must try, even if you're not a fan of oreos. Throughout our meal, we had 3 bottles of wine (yes, 4 people--- we're borderline alki's!). Two bottles of reisling and one bottle of shiraz. They have a huge selection of everything imaginable, and not too pricy. Definitely a 5-star place. I've been there other nights and spotted a couple of local celebs... (A-Rod, Sammy Sosa). Things you should know before you go-- if you want to get a table on a Friday or Saturday night, you need to reserve it way in advance.. or the only thing available will be after 10:30 or before 6:30. It's also not the best place for romance-- it's very loud and you have to shout sometimes to have a conversation. but its great for groups, getting rowdy, and enjoying quality food.

    Just finished my first meal at Prime 112 and I'm sitting here trying to figure out if it was my best meal ever. It might have been. My wife and I had: Arugula salad with goat cheese croutons Tuna tartare Filet with gorganzola butter NY Strip Brochilli with cheese sauce 5 cheese truffle mac Cocunut sorbet All but the tuna tartare were excellent, which wasn't bad at all. Just wasn't excellent. The arugula salad was plenty for two people. The 28 day aged steaks were amazing and the sauces / butters listed as accessories are unnecessary. The brochilli was huge and although I usually don't love it I found myself going back for more. The truffle mac was divine and last but not least, the sorbet was excellent. The perfect light compliment to a dinner full of rich flavor. All in all, an amazing place with the food to back it up.

    Prime 112 is by far my fiancé's favorite place to order a steak in Miami. We've always had amazing food when dining here, unlike some of the high end chain steakhouses. The drinks have a generous pour- just how I like them and the more you frequent the easier it is to get a table. My biggest complaint is the other diners there. We've always been sat next to some really interesting people. Including one guy who hit his wife during dinner and the staff did nothing about it. Try and get a table away from the crazies.

    This is Miami Beach's Steakhouse & best glamor steakhouse experience in Miami - thank good i don't share same bad waiting and reservation experience i read in some of the other reviews .. never had a problem with getting a seat ... food is great, waiting staff is great , also nice to seat on the bar, they have to learn how to do onion rings but if you want steak and you want swank and you want Miami Beach - prime 112 will deliver - if you going only for the food and with your company than you can skip it and go to Graziano's in Coral Gables ..

    Sitting at The Clevelander on Halloween night a few years back (by the way - South Beach for Halloween - you'd never think, but pretty strong) we were asking for a 'nice place with great steak'. The bartender responded without hesitation 'Prime 112'. We asked if there was might be an alternative. She said no and that we needed to call and make reservations immediately. We did. Great move. Great recommendation. The steak was one of the best I've had. The sides were top notch. The wine list was tremendous. The atmosphere very nice. Great people watching. I, like the bartender at The Clevelander, recommend Prime 112 without hesitation.

    i just have to tell the story about being seated at a 4 top in front of a stainless steel elevator door (literally in front of it). We asked if there would be anyone coming down the elevator to which our waiter scoffed at our absurd question. Not 5 minutes later did the doors open and a huge man walk INTO our table. This place is over-rated. It is so not worth the sheer hassle of trying to walk around this place. I gave it two stars only because our other dining experiences there haven't lead to a man landing on our table. That was a very unusual experience! The food- boring. The wine list- expected. The decor- beachy looking house outside, "steak-house" look inside.

    I really like Prime 112. It's a great steakhouse celebrities are spotted here often as I myself have seen some a few times coming here, mostly athletes. Service has been really great every time I've been here. The desserts are a lot more yuummyy than I expected. If you're a bit of a drinker that can cause your bill to rack up quite a bit. But I think paying for good food and good ambiance is well worth it.

    We wanted to have steak for one of the nights we stayed in South Beach. I decided to make reservations. Our reservations were at 8:45. We arrived at 8:30. When we arrived they checked off our name and had us wait. During the time of our wait many other groups of people or couples came and they were seated. Yes it could have been that they had earlier reservations then us. The annoying part was the host and the many hostess, would walk passed us and not even acknowledge us. Especially when it was passed our reservation time at this point. It was fine that we were not immediately seated however, as a fine dining place I would assume they know what good service is..they did not. They finally sat us down at 9:10. The food however was delicious. The mac and cheese is a must. A really packed place. So if you are expecting a quiet evening don't go there. On a positive though we had told them it was our anniversary over the phone. They had said if you order dessert we will put a candle. We were so full from dinner we opted out for dessert, however they brought out mint brownies with a candle-that was nice. It made up for their rudeness earlier in the evening.

    I see all of these wonderful reviews and wonder if I went to a different restaurant? Then again, my boyfriend had a blast.... Service: One positive note is the service (the primary reason I'm giving more than 2-stars) - the wait staff at our table was 5-star. Attentive, quick and great with provided food and drink suggestions. Despite the zoo atmosphere, our drink glasses were never less than half full. I really appreciate service that isn't lined with sycophancy. However, the hostess and bar service was awful. It's probably not the front lines fault. Can we say overbooking and poor planning? Let's begin with a 930PM reservation. We arrive on time amidst a zoo of people to be informed of a 30-minute wait. What?! The wait ended up being 75-minutes at an overcrowded bar with no bacon bits that other reviewers mentioned. We were not alone with our wait time. Most people at the bar waited an average of 60 to 90-minutes. Why is this acceptable? Maybe my expectations were a tad too high. It's like a "Cheesecake Factory" wait in suburbia. Ambiance: At least we didn't have the table next to the bathroom or in the walking lanes. It was so crowded that people were standing over patron's tables and the serving staff could barely get to the table without pushing waiting patrons out of the way. I was politely moved around a couple of times. We tolerated the wait in hopes of amazing food. Food: The secondary reason I'm not giving them just 1 or 2-stars. The salad and drinks were incredible. The steaks were good, but more on that later. I'm a steak snob. I'll start with the bar drinks - delicious. In a party of four, we ordered a Manhattan, cosmopolitan, riesling and rum & coke. All, including the bottle of red wine at the table, were worthy of being overpriced. The drinks were strong, but not overpowering. I wish that I'd try their dirty martini. Next, let's talk about the salad and sides - the arugula salad with beets and goat cheese was heaven. I love pecan encrusted warm goat cheese with arugula and a just right amount of dressing. I prefer fried goat cheese, but that's nowhere near as healthy. Yum. The bread, to my surprise, was okay not great. It may have been an off night in terms of execution. How can you go wrong with cheese bread? Save your bread consumption for Prime Italian across the street. The mac'n cheese was over-rated and over-truffled (is this a word?). My boyfriend and our visiting guests loved it, but I thought it tasted like clogged arteries, garlic and grease. The porterhouse and 8-oz filet, however, were delicious. They weren't the best steaks in town (if you're willing to leave South Beach, try Area Code 55 a Brazilian steakhouse in Aventura for that). I love for my steaks to be crispy and flavored on the outside then juicy and moist on the inside. You don't crispy at Prime. Quick side note: You will have a lot of leftovers that reheat well. Overall: Prime grants access to the "celebrity scene" for the commoner at a price. You can get the same food, drinks and additional pasta selections (literally Prime Italian) across the street without the crowd or the wait. That said, lol, try it for yourself as it is a South Beach legend. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to experience the hype, but the jury is still out on whether I'm a fan.

    You want to talk about an upscale atmosphere, this place is at the top of the list in Miami. You better be ready to spend some money but you will not be disappointed. Best lobster bisque I have ever had and I eat it every chance I get. Go there at least once if you have the opportunity.

    Well let me start with the mac n cheese. Wow. Just amazing. The food and service were just phenomenal. I would say the drinks are way over priced, but other than that it was just amazing...

  • Cara L.

    Clearly this place is all about the scene. Expect hostess attitude, blatant lack of attention from the bartender, and an hour or two wait despite a confirmed reservation. If you don't show up entirely famished, can score a decent seat at the well-packed bar, and quickly make some new friends who buy you lots of cocktails while you wait, you'll be okay. If, when you are finally seated, a coked up Dennis Rodman decides to crash your table, not so much. Yes, it was a bit funny when he and his lady "friend" randomly pulled up some chairs and invited themselves to join our small table. We laughed as he oh so kindly asked what we were drinking and "bought" our next round of drinks, along with an assortment of shots for himself. But when he started eating the food off our plates with his hands, harassed one of my friends for a threesome, then stalked off with my most amazing truffle mac & cheese, leaving us with the check AND his hooker girlfriend at the table - not so amusing. From what I managed to taste of my meal before the weirdo stuck his grubby fingers in it, it was the real deal. Usually at these "scene" type hotspots, the actual culinary experience is a bit lacking. Not so at Prime 112. I'd even venture to say it's worth the drawn out wait for the table, the pretentious front of house staff, and the swarming crowd of faux important people. And hey, if paying for a scene is your thing, the ambiance is vibrant and abuzz with athletes, tipsy bronzed beautiful and wannabe beautiful people chatter, all in a kind of annoying yet kind of cool very South Beach kind of way. As for Dennis Rodman, while he is a known lurker at this establishment, perhaps his recent stint on Celebrity Rehab will keep his hands from contaminating your truffle mac & cheese. But let's not pretend - while I prefer the majority of my meals to be in a hooker free zone, we didn't go to Prime 112 for a quaint, dainty meal or a wholesome, prim crowd. Our unexpected dinner guests made for some good laughs, entertaining stories for our friends, and part of an overall South Beach adventure that could rival the Hangover.

    Host/hostess service is horrible. Waited over an hour and a half past our reservation for our table. They didnt care AT ALL. It's a scene so I guess they dont need to care about service. The food was average (did not compare favorably to a new york steakhouse). Our waiter was actually very attentive but after the wait and the unimpressive food I can't imagine ever returning.

  • Dominic L.

    It's what a steakhouse is all about. I'm not a big fan of the corporate owned steakhouses, so Prime 112 is for me. They must keep good records on reservations as the more I go there, the ability to seat me quickly and having the best seating keeps getting better. Shrimp cocktail is colossal and quite tasty. Steak tartare is also quite delicious. Our table split a salad with a poppyseed dressing that was out of this world. As for steak, I recommend the Porterhouse for 2, they even cut it for you and serve the way it should be, "Piping Hot".

  • Brian L.

    Don't go here unless you are planning on waiting 2 hours to sit; even if you have a reservation. We had reservations at 7:30 on a Thursday, and the only reason we got seated at 9:30 was because we called the AMEX Centurion Club (the black card) Concierge who called the Prime One Twelve manager whom then apologized and sat us right away. WHAT A JOKE. Then when we sat down the steaks came out over cooked! I came here once before and thought that food, service, scene, and wait were all worth it, so I decided to bring a couple of clients back. Obviously I made the wrong choice. I will NEVER go back. Any one that says that this place is great is either a celebrity or some spoiled rich chick with a huge fake rack.

    Prime 112 is located on Ocean Drive, inside the historic Brown's Hotel built in 1915. This place is fabulous and always packed! Reservations are a must! The wait it long....but it is well worth it! If you are able to squeeze thru the crowd and make it to the bar, the Cosmos are great!! Definitely a place for people watching....we saw Alonso Mourning from the Miami Heat dining with his family....and Jeremy Shokey from the NY Giants was there with a group of friends. My bone-in filet mignon was like butter....the truffle macaroni & cheese a dream. My friend ordered 4oz of Kobe Beef, it was $100 and super small, she says it was the best she had ever had. One of the other girls at the table ordered the sweet potato as a side - WOW!!

  • Anna M.

    Wow went for the first time when a friend of mine and his girlfriend invited me to dinner. I felt so blessed because never in a million years would i ever be able to afford eating here with out killing myself about the bill . The service was nice they were knowledgeable about the food which is always a good thing! We had crab appitizer and I forgot the name of what i had but it was a crab cake on a bed of greens. It was amazingly good! I was in heaven! Plus the lobstr and mac n cheese sides was a huge plus. Than the friend oreos was the icing on the cake! The only bad thing was even tho we had a reservation we still had to wait 45 minutes which was crazy!! Tha bathrooms always had a huge line since its only one stall. And tha margarita was a little too strong to enjoy . But i cant complain its one of the best experiences I've had. Oh and plus we saw Shaq wishing a girl happy birthdday! He was so casual with it like if no one was going to notice who we has. But over all deff recommend this place if u can afford it. The bill came up to 400 dollars so i guess you really do get what you pay for.

    Had very little problems with reservations and the food is outstanding. As a traveling steak-eater, Prime 112 always re-establishes itself as one of, if not the best, steakhouse in the country. Had the 8 oz. filet this last time with spinach and parmesan stuffed tomatoes and homemade tater tots. Solid wine list.

  • Angie C.

    Let me preface by saying my awesome friend (we'll call him Shady S) hooked us up with this place, without it apparently you have to wait hours just to sit down with a reservation! We had dinner for 6 and loved it. The service, menu, food, atmosphere, everything was excellent!!! We ordered too many appetizers - the kobe meatball (devoured!), caesar salad (perfect, but why waste stomach space on lettuce!) and crab cake (YUMMM!). Then we all got steaks - cooked perfectly but HUGE. My friend and I SHARED a 12 oz. filet...we could have shared the 8 oz. The sides were even better...brocolli rabe and brussel sprouts were perfect...and I would fly back to Miami just to have their macaroni and cheese again. OMGGG! Warning: bad idea to eat this much food before going out. I couldn't drink vodka for at least 2 hours after b/c I was so full!

    (5)

  • Amanda S.

    To be honest, I wasn't overly impressed with the steak here. I wonder if I should have ordered the sea bass instead. The sides were HUGE (and the prices reflect that), but were also just so-so. I've definitely had better prime rib-eye at other steakhouses, and I could've even ordered "rare" because medium-rare was still pretty tough. The appetizers were decent (we had tuna tartare), but the real winner would have to be the fried oreos w/ vanilla ice cream (you MUST order that for dessert!) Nice atmosphere and pretty good service, but it wasn't anything special.

    (3)

  • Michael E.

    I have to give Prime 3 stars...First impression, the food is overpriced as expected of any popular Miami restaurant and the restaurant is overcrowded to the point of insane. After being seated at our table, which was literally surrounded by maybe 50 people crowding the bar jockying for seats, we finally ordered. The food...the lobster mac and cheese was average at best, I believe that they add too much truffle oil and it over powers. The steak was cooked perfectly but was very rich, almost any medium rare steak will taste good if you bathe it in butter. The most enjoyable part of my meal was the side of mushrooms that we ordered, they were seasoned well at least. Also, stay away from the fried oreos, maybe the heaviest over hyped terrible dessert that exists.

    I have been an avid yelp user for years and I had never written reviews for any restaurant/made a yelp account. Well, going to this restaurant compelled me to do so for the first time. The entire experience was so grueling and out of control that I feel like people should give a heads up for those who haven't visited the place. pros: good food (I would say average for a nice steakhouse, similar to any others such as joe's, morton's, etc) cons: RESERVATIONS/WAITING TIME/CHECK-IN PROCESS. It was literally the most OUTRAGEOUS check-in experience of my life. I had a 9pm reservation on a Sat night and did not sit down until 11pm. But that's not really the part that bothered me/my friends. It was the WAY they handled the entire process. Here's how it went down: we get in and there is a clusterf*ck of people in the entrance area trying to get to the booth/hostess to check in. they ALL had reservations and had been waiting there for a decent chunk of time JUST to TALK to the ONE hostess trying to check-in like a billion people. After pushing our way through the front (literally had to cut people, push, shove, it felt like we were at a crowded nightclub at 2am), when we finally get lucky enough to engage eye contact with the hostess (she selects who to speak next at random since there is no line), all she does is write down your name and check-in time on ANOTHER LIST that had like 50 other parties on it who ALSO had reservations and it didn't matter if yours was ahead of theirs or behind, it was literally sorted by CHECK-IN time. She then writes your physical description down (ie. "guy in the blue shirt") and that's how she tells another, very rude, hostess to find you amongst the crowd later when it is your turn. The other girl literally circles the entrance/bar area/outside area like 3 times every time she has to find someone in the ridiculous crowd. After realizing we were going to be there for a while, we tried to check in on our status like 5 times while we waited, and each time we had to once again push our way through the crowd and wait like 20 minutes to either "spy" on the list at the front or be able to ask the hostess how much longer it'd be. After complaining enough times that the people with later reservations were being seated while we weren't, they finally gave in and accommodated us 2 hours after our actual reservation time. The entire thing ruined our experience at the restaurant and also ruined our saturday night since we weren't able to leave the restaurant until 1am when we finished the meal (2 hrs waiting + 2 hrs to get the food etc). I have been to pretty much every nice steakhouse in the country and plenty of nice upscale restaurants and I can honestly say this was far from that. If you want to pay up wads of money to enjoy your meal/night go somewhere else with slightly more dignity and class. ps, other people that were also waiting near us that night stormed off/yelled to the hostess as they were leaving that they were going to write awful reviews about the restaurant

    Went here with baby, husband and a friend for dinner on Sunday evening. They were able to seat us as a walk-in in their second dining room almost immediately. It was more spacious and more quiet than their main dining room. I loved the decor. The waitstaff were friendly and courteous. The food took a long time, but it was delicious. The place is expensive but the portions are so large and so good that it almost makes up for the price depending on what you order. Everything is served family style. The 4 of us were able to share a salad, 1 side of magnificent "Truffle Mac-and-cheese", chicken and waffle, and potato pancake with apples and sour cream. We even had to take some home. The food is rich and decadent, so dieters may as well hang it up when they come here. Not so baby friendly, as the restroom has nowhere to change a little one, not even a vanity table. All in all, i had a good experience here and I'm looking forward to coming back with friends.

    Visited on a thursday night-the week of Art Basel- VERY packed. Standing room only. We arrived 11/2 hrs. late with reservations but got seated in 15min!! Ordered the bone- in ribeye which was perfectly cooked medium, tender, and juicy!! Absolutely DELICIOUS!! My friend had the chicken and waffles- complaint was greasy and so-so. The truffle fries were fantastic as well! The "bread" basket at the beginning nothing memorable. But the Traditional key lime pie was great-- not too sour or too sweet-- Loved it!! Service was prompt and knowledgable! A place to people watch as well!! Will definitely go here again!! Highly recommended!!

    This place is hopping! The food is incredible! The bartenders amazing! We ordered crab encrusted grouper--one of the house specialties. Every bite was scrumptious. It was served with wilted spinach. We should have split it to save room for the deep fried Oreo dessert that everyone was raving about. This place is a must on our next trip to South Beach. Make reservations well in advance; otherwise, you'll end up eating in the bar like we did, not that we minded. We had a blast!

    We had a very early reservation at 530pm on a Monday, this is also the time they start taking reservations. Upon arrival at exactly 530 we were told all servers were in a meeting and to go get a drink in the bar. The hostess station was staffed by 3 very snooty unapologetic women, one with her boobs falling out of her dress. Seated 20 minutes later we had a very bubbly and smart server. (She also walked past us 3 times while they were supposedly in this 530 meeting) She was wonderful, took our full order to perfection by memory and brought us our drinks. Keep in mind for a family size steakhouse the tables are half the size, it took some serious table jockey skills to juggle menus and drinks on a table this proportion. After having two bites of bread it was taken away and our salad was brought out before our appetizer. Then our server took the option to leave early since they were slow and we got our second server of the night. He was very knowledgable and had the gift of intriguing gab. He was great. The food portions were HUGE. We could have easily fed 4 more friends with the portions that arrived at our table. The food was good, it was hot, but it was not over the top like I expected. Also the servers really don't have a station, so they would congregate in corners of the bar talking about their night out and then stand and watch pre-season football. We never were greeted or saw the manager once during our dinner not to mention we dropped an easy $450 on dinner for two. We got half way out the door before the hostess stopped her conversation with co-workers to thank us for coming. Overall, decent food but too much hype. I would recommend the old favorite The Palm for steak and seafood.

    This was the WORST restaurant I have ever gone to in my life. It deserved negative stars if only I could give that. Unless you like people stealing credit cards then theirs no better place, otherwise stay the fuck away!!!! I went to this restaurant with 6 couples. As soon as we arrive we receive horrible service. They messed up our order I don't even remember how many times. We ordered duck foie gras and they brought us cow foie gras. As a big group we liked to enjoy our time, after receiving our dessert the waiter came up to us and gave us a asinine remark chirping "you guys are still here!". That's not even the worst part!!! We payed for our bill 6 ways giving the waiter 6 credit cards. THEY ENDED UP STEALING OUR CREDIT CARD NUMBERS ALL 6 OF THEM. They are a bunch of THIEVES. After calling the restaurant and talking to the owner he tells me to go and that what is he supposed to do. This was truly the worst restaurant ever and unless you like going to a restaurant filled with THIEVES and like getting your money STOLEN from you then go have fun and splurge an incredibly high amount of money, because you will spend A LOT of money their.

    Would have given it six stars, but the nearly cliched atitude of the employees left me with a bad taste in my mouth. We sat outside, and the scenary on Ocean in South Beach was what you'd expect at night -- impossibly thin, scantily dressed women and the men who ogle them. I asked the waiter if any celebrities at there and he said The Rock was in the night before and Prince Charles dined privately last month. So they have quite the A list crowd. Be prepared to wait until everyone from your party is there before they seat you (don't they know that we'll order more booze if they give us a chair?). First the good news: One of the top 10 steaks I've eaten in my life. For months, every other tasty cut will surely appear to be doing a poor imitation of the A5 Kobe beef at Prime112. The meat was sublime. The raw bar (lobster, stone crab, oysters) was fresh and firm, and had color and presentation. Had an interesting presentation of roasted bone marrow. Mmmm. Marrow. The sides were heavenly. Scalloped potatoes and a nice garlic mash was expertly prepared with just the right amount of truffle oil. The broccoli was good, but a bit doused in cheese sauce. The bread was freshly baked and crunchy on the outside, hot and smooshy on the inside. Had a couple of bottles of excellent, way over-priced Pinot Noir, excellently presented by a cheerful waiter. But the attitude, oh, that snooty attitude you only see at places where management hasn't bought a new calendar since 1987. Listen, buddy, if I'm going to drop $300/person on food at a joint, I want snappy, friendly service. I don't care if the hostess is moonlighting from her supermodel job, if I'm your customer, smile. Make eye contact. Offer me a mint. Anything. Would I go there again? Yes, for the steak, in a minute. Try sitting at the bar. Who knows? You could end up between a Rock and a Prince Chuck.

    Before my recent trip to Miami people just RAVED about Prime 112. I somehow snagged a 9 pm res and needless to say my expectations were high. Meh. I think I was put off partly because i've never been in a more crowded restaurant--ever. You would think they were handing out gold bricks or something. Then there was the food. It was okay. It was actually better than okay, it was good, but it certainly wasn't mind blowing and for the prices, it really should have been.

    Absolutely DELISH. I personally think its better than Morton's. Yes, its true, it is pricey and it is pretentious and you do have to wait a while if you go on a weekend but its worth it. The drinks are strong and it was one of the best dirty martini's i've had. Weve had a wedge salad, and shared the truffle mac and cheese and i get the filet each time we go. YUMMO. We always leave stuffed. Portions are big so keep that in mind. I love you Prime 112!

    Not worth it! The service is TERRIBLE the food is okay so many other worthy Steak Houses out there that will give you superior service and deserve the business. Expensive but if the service was good would have been worth the price. 1, Arrived at 8:45 for a 9:00 reservation told they were running about 15 minutes behind 2+ hours later finally seated. Hostess could not have been RUDER kept on telling us we were next only 15 more minutes. We would have left had they been honest about the wait time. After complaining a few times told us they had a table then led us to a table that was already taken then made us wait another 20 minutes until finally seating us. Don't understand why they even bother taking reservations or why they overbook not an appealing quality for a fine dinning establishment. 2. If you like fake boobs and lots of plastic surgery/fashion victims with old men this is the place for you. Plus while you are waiting 2+ hours for your table there is no place to sit and wait. Don't even bother with the bar too jammed. 3. Once seated jammed in between other tables being banged into while seated felt like I was eating on the subway. 4. Salads and app's arrived fast and were good but then the lag between the first course and the second was extremely long with the waiter not coming by at all in fact avoiding us. Finally one of the people running around looking busy with ear pieces came by and told us he would check with the kitchen to see what the delay was. Offered us a free round of drinks or dessert frankly at this point all we wanted to do was get the heck out there. 5. Once the steaks did arrive at midnight 3 hours after our reservation time they were decent the sides were good huge portions truffle fries were over truffled. They did take a round of drinks off the bill still did not make up for the lack of service and rudeness of hostess. This was my second visit the first visit was similar although I went during Art Basel the first time so I thought it was an off night. The second visit confirmed my opinion I will not be going back.

    Went here a while ago on vacation, bill for 2 (including tax, tip) was around $550. We had at least 4 martini's & a bottle of wine, but still let's face it, thats definately pricey for a dinner for 2. We didn't order a wine that was that over priced either. We didnt each have an entree & plenty of sides to share with some apps as well. Service was ok, but forgettable as was the decor or lack thereof. The bar is packed, we had a reservation though & did not have to wait. This is definately not a place for a romantic date as it was extremely loud. I would go back there, but I definately have had meals just as good for lower prices at other big name steak houses.

    Great steaks, good wine list, and good company. All in all a successful evening. I sat at the bar and ate bacon till it hurt, then I ate some more. Been here several times and always good times,

    This restaurant represents every thing that is wrong with dining on Miami Beach. The food is not that great. It's over priced. The crowd is cheesey. There were women with plastic surgery every which way I looked and corny guys hoping to talk to them. (Peter Luger in Brooklyn, NY is far superior.) If you have a reservation and they ask you to wait for more than 15 minutes, head for the door...

    Visited Miami for the first time last May with a group of girl friends and when asking around for some good eats Prime 112 came highly recommended from just about everyone we asked. The entrance, hallway and bar was overflowing with people waiting for their tables. As soon as I walked in I figured out ahhhh ... it's one of those places. The patrons were impeccably dressed ... though have to agree with Lindley ... a whole lot of older (may I add pervy) men hitting on younger women. A friend of ours even got propositioned by someone 30 yrs her senior ... really, is that what it's like in Miami? I didn't even attempt to walk into the bar area ... it looked like a sea of dudes pressed up next to each other. The decor was classy but not too pretentious. There's a cute little table right up front next between the entrance and bar that I'd suggest if you're not so much there for the food (what?!) but to people watch (and don't mind getting knocked into by passersby). Twenty-five minutes (even though we had a reservation) and a glass of sauvignon blanc later we were finally chaffeured through a PACKED room to our floor to our booth to ceiling leather upholstered corner (gorgeous and cozy, perfect for our group of 6). The folks at Prime 112 are pushing the limits of space ... there was a table literally less than a foot away from the edge. Dining room was LOUD as heck ...definitely not a place to bring a date unless you were fortunate to get the private table on the upstairs patio. Ordered the 8oz Filet Mignon, a side of the four cheese MAC with a FABULOUS cabernet (I'm beating myself up for not writing the name down ...) suggested by the super friendly waiter. Prior to Prime 112, Morton's was my steakhouse of choice, but let me tell you ... Prime 112 knocked it out of the ballpark. They offer a choice of several types of sauces as accompanients and I thought the bernaise tasted mightly fine. I did my happy-love the food so much I'm dancing in my seat - dance. Seriously. I didn't want the magic in my mouth to stop ... FANTASTIC. Everyone at the table ordered different entrees (fish? blasphemy! It's a steakhouse! When in Rome ...), but the consensus was still the same ... one friend even went so far as to say it was the best meal she's had in YEARS. Overall, I was blown away and would tell everyone I know if you're ever in Miami, Prime 112 is a MUST. Aside from the crowd (yes, it's a scene and there were alot of old guys preying on young gals), this place is well worth the price and wait. Loved it. Actually, now that I think about it again I'm totally craving it ... Wish there was a Prime 112 in LA :(

    This place is waaaay over hyped. We waited 45 mins for our reservation and stood in a crowded corner of the restaurant. Yeah, it was a cool scene with Bentley's and Mazaraties parked out front, but other than that there are few other redeeming qualities. The steak was overdone and stringy. Sides were good, but didn't make up for the subpar main dish. Overall, very disappointed.

  • Frank G.

    I was not impressed with this place. The decor and ambiance was great, but basically falls into the expectation of a sobe restaurant. We were a fairly large party and had one of their isolated rooms which was really nice and private. But when it came down to the main dish. They really messed up. My expectation were not met at all for what I was paying for a steak. It was very bland and the temperature was no were near what I requested. I had to send the steak back. Only to get the same steak back, butter flied and over cooked. Finally, the took it back and brought me what I order at the right temperature. By then everyone else was ready to order desert and I was starting my main course. Never been back.

    I've been here a half a dozen times or so and I've always had a great time. I've found that the service is friendly, attentive and consistent. The food is wonderful and overall, it's a very comfortable place. If you're in Miami Beach, this is a great choice.

  • Solbiato S.

    I will save everyone sometime and agree with most everyone else on this review.....total scene. If you are into it then this is place for you. If you prefer a great meal w/o the fan fare probably not for you (however, the upstairs rooms are quaint). Nevertheless, this place is it if are want to be part of the it crowd (unless you are Starr Jones who was having trouble getting a table on Friday night). As for the food.....WOW. The only downside is that the portions are too big and are not conducive to small parties (as they are served family style). If possible go with a medium size crew 4-6 people. Make a reservation, check-in and then go grab a drink across the street (Vivi) until your table is ready.

    Prime One Twelve ranks within the top 5 meals I have ever had in my life. Save to say that the restaurant will always have some sentimental value, I can objectively say that the food was sublime. With reservations, which are a must, we were seated promptly in a cozy but spacious table. You're near people but not elbow, you can hear noise but it doesn't drown out your conversation. Now, the food. The food here is incredible. My NY strip was unbelievable good, cooked perfectly throughout, no excess fat and didn't require a nanometer of seasoning. I had a baked potato as a side, which was just about the size of a football and came with the most amazing toppings. My wife had a salad that was too big to finish; a salad . . . that was too big to finish. Let that sink in. At most places, we cant find one single vegetarian dish for her, let alone one that will provide an adequate meal. Here, the salad was served on a satellite dish and comprised several farm's worth of lettuce. It was big, is my point. The service here is beyond reproach and the quality of the meal to match. Next time Im in Miami, Im headed straight to Prime One Twelve.

    Just writing this review makes me greatly upset I don't live in Miami. Possibly the best steakhouse I've ever been too. Also, one of the best restaurants. This level of sensuality doesn't get much higher than Prime One Twelve, and if it does... well, I don't know if I can handle that.

  • Mark M.

    The food was good but the service and shitty attitudes of the staff just can't be accepted. We were a party of 6 with a reservation but of course had to wait 30 minutes or more. Then our waiter had no time for our questions or taking time to decide and responded with many snippy remarks. And we payed $800 for that! No thanks, we too as some other yelpers have discovered Red. Their food is amazing (try the truffle macaroni with lobster), the service impecable as well as friendly. Their tables are also big enough for all the big plates that end up coming your way. I diss Prime 112 to everyone I meet.

    My Husband and I were staying at the Hilton Bentley across the street and observed night after night of fantastic service at the outside tables, so we decided to go there for his birthday. The food was fine, but I've had equally good for 30% less money. The service was neglectful at best. Long periods of being ignored, and being in one of the little rooms means the servers can't even see if diners are being attended to. A lot different than outside where there are many many servers standing at a discrete distance, ready to attend to any need. The final straw was while we were eating our entrees, a table full of Long Islanders, having finished their appetizers, announced to the server that there would be 4 more people joining them. The server started moving tables around to accommodate them and ended with a configuration that blocked us in and made it impossible for us to be served properly. From then on the server had to serve and remove plates while squeezing in on my husband's left and leaning over the table. Never mind the fact that if we needed to get up for any reason we couldn't. Who cares if celebrities eat there? For that price I want good service.

    Where does one start ;) My boyfriend and I are huge foodies and big time travelers! So we've been all over eating the best of the best, so we figured....we have to give this place a whirl. And as most others say, the experience as a whole was a disappointment. I checked YELP ahead of time, so I was aware of the long wait, we made a late night reservation (9:30) to the hassle , but still waited 45 mins! From the time I called to make the reservation to the time we left the place, it was a ridiculous mess. The hostess are beyond rude, and need a good slap along with a "you're fired slip." They think they're better than everyone they are seating, and it just puts a sour taste in your mouth from the start. Our server was exceptional, she actually made the experience bearable. The food was decent, but we live in Vegas, and with so many AMAZING restaurants residing on the strip, with great customer service, its hard to compete. I must say it was the BEST escargot we have ever had. Simply delightful. Shrimp were jumbo and tasty, but you can get those all over. The hot dog was fun to see come out, and tasty.....if you have a large group, fun to share. The bone-in filet - HUGE disappointment, super sad to pay that much for two, and both of us not like them. Desserts were ok, nothing to write home about. For a $600.00 meal, we were disappointed and will never go back, at least until they fire their host staff and book their restaurant appropriately. Waste of money and a wast of a good night in South Beach!!

    I give this place a rave review...but you must know I don't eat red meat. I've eaten here several times and I think I've eaten all the fish dishes to date. Except maybe the tuna bec. I don't like seared meat...raw + cooked--Yuck! It is very pricey. I've had decent service...great experiences (saw Shaq there), really good food. I even love just hanging out at the bar...never eaten outside but I love that it looks like a house from the Keys. It is very pricey but typical of south beach. The wines are expensive...my husband asked for something fruity and they brought him the least expensive wine w. a twist top. (But apparently twist tops are not a bad thing w. wine anymore?) Anyway, it made us laugh and food was good...had a few things where someone got too generous w. the salt. I just love it!!! Which I guess means don't order the meat that they're supposedly known for, ha!

    Our last night in Miami my 3 girlfriends and I decided to have a nice dinner. This place was an excellent choice. The service was superb, and the food was delicious. We made reservations and was seated right away. Decided to sit outside to enjoy our last time sitting outside and eating on Ocean's *tear* They had this huge fan blowing, and was getting my hair all tangled up. Asked the waitress to move it or turn it off and she did. Big plus. I ordered the bone in filet. MOUTHWATERING! It was so moist, and tender. Never had a filet by the bone, even more tender than the regular. The sides were huge, and as good as the steaks. We ordered asparagus, truffle mac and cheese, and scalloped potatoes. The truffle mac was a little to spicy for my taste, I think they added some horseradish. But the scalloped potatoes were DELICIOUS. I was so stuffed from the steak but I kept picking at the potatoes. Yummm. For dessert we ordered Creme Brulee, good also. I liked the presentation, had the creme brulee, fresh fruits and peppermint brownies. This place is excellent and was a great end to our great vacation *sigh, I miss SoBe*

    What am I doing eating steak in Miami when I'm from New York. I'm having fun, that's what I'm doing. Prime 112 is a scene, no doubt about it. And scenes are fine, as long as the food and service don't suffer terribly as a result. I was down in Miami in July (not exactly high season as far as I know) and the place was packed, with more than its fair share of (perhaps artificially but nonetheless) beautiful people. I sat at the bar, bantered with the friendly bartender (who let me have a glass from a bottle of Tignanello that some table didn't finish -- okay, so there are some dumb customers here), met some random people (one of whom turned out to be the owner of a Super Bowl ring, but um... I forget his name), and somehow downed the ribeye and the ridiculously rich truffled creamed corn. As far as I was concerned, the food was better than it needed to be. Admittedly, I might have thought that because I hadn't slept the night before and spent all day out on the beach drinking cocktails under the sun. Service at the bar was definitely warm and attentive, though. I can't wait to go back there during this year's WMC. UPDATE: So on my last visit (during the 2007 WMC), the steak and the corn were just as delicious as I remembered, and the service was just as friendly and professional. The bonus this time around was that they had stone crab claws, thus saving me a trip to Joe's. But -- $45 a claw?!? Good lord. Well, you only live once. And then you die broke.

    Service was impeccable, floor very crowded (people bumping into me and my party), wine list excellent but pricey, and menu pricey as well. This said, the quality all very good. Must valet if you are driving, and this is pricey as well. My party enjoyed their meal very much, the steaks were cooked perfectly, and all in all, a good and memorable experience, just not the best ever in the world, and for these world class prices, I compare this to other places in Chicago, New York, and San Francisco.

    Oh what a scene! This restaurant lived up to everything I heard and then some ... To be fair, we were dining here the week of Superbowl, so the crowd and vibe was likely escalated with the excitement of the week. Even though we had 8:45p dinner reservations, we were not seated until 9:30pm. I must say that the wait was worth it as we were seated at one of the best seats in the house: the elevated front patio. Our waiter seemed bothered with the fact that he actually had to wait on tables - an interesting concept?!..? Once we got past this, we enjoyed the meal and sitting back, watching the cast of characters walk into the restaurant. The "Double Wedge" salad was downright delicious! My steak was a perfect medium and the broccoli rabe and excellent veggie with a nice kick! After a few Miami Heat players rolled into the restaurant up drove Mike Ditka. The crew of kids waiting in front of the restaurant to snap celeb photos were quick to attention... What a nice way to end a fun experience at Prime One Twelve!

    This along with Prime Italian are some of my favorite upscale restaurants in Miami. I have yet to have anything here that has disappointed me. The steaks are out of this world. The mac and cheese is sinful. The shrimp with lobster coleslaw is worth having even if you are a steak fanatic. Even the desserts are good and in Miami land of bad desserts that is a very, very good thing. Those fried oreos may be the best thing to hit my taste buds in years but then again that peanut butter smore is heavenly as well. Even the wine list is nice as is their cocktail menu. My only complaint is that the restaurant is so crowded that at times i felt as though the waiters passing by would drop their trays on us. Not a feeling that you want as you are enjoying a very expensive meal.

  • Pamela R.

    I went here during a conference with a group of about 20 people. The restaurant was packed so even though our reservation was for 9:30pm (earliest that they could get us in) we ended up not being seated until about 11pm. We ordered immediately and ended up getting food at about midnight. We didnt leave until after 1am. However, once the food got there, no one complained. The place is expensive, but everyone said that it was the best (steak, shrimp, etc) that they had ever had. The servings are huge and the sides are served family style. I ordered sides as my meal, being the token vegetarian, the sides were wonderful. My boss ate there with multiple vendors 3 nights in a row and was satisfied every time.

  • Meredith M.

    Unbelievable-we had 10:00 reservations for dinner and showed up to a total mess. There were about 15 people just waiting to talk to the hostess, people with reservations had been waiting over an hour...I am sorry, but not worth it. We were with friends visiting from Madrid who own and run two of the top restaurants in the city and they were in awe at how disorganized it was. We left right away. I will never go back. What is the point of taking reservations? Very disappointed.

    Would give -10 stars, but for real. 10pm reservation. Sat at 11. 20 min before waiter talked to us the first time. Forgot a whole appetizer. Gave up at midnight and left after the mediocre lobster bisque and bad salad. 40 min to pay bill. Ugh! Not worth hassle!

  • A N.

    Agree with all the negative reviews here: Consistently need to wait extra 60 minutes even with reservation Food has the potential to be good but is often poorly executed (temperature of steaks is off, food comes out cold) Overpriced and generic wine list Crappy service Crowd is cheesy (really not worth the hype)

  • Diana C.

    Undoubtedly the best meat I've had in Miami. Every dish came with a fine touch to it. The kobe beef burger with some fois gras butter spread on top is very unique and tasty (make sure to order medium rare). The oysters rockefeller and the filet mignon are also remarkable. An exquisite dining experience, however, be prepared to be patient. Even with reservation, the usual wait is about an hour at the bar, valeting a car adds 10 minutes before and after. Not a very romantic atmosphere: the tables are too close and the buzz takes away a fraction of the indulgence in your food. Reservations are a must, but the later they are, the better!.

    P112 is da diggity bomb! It is def my ATF steakhouse in Florida, especially for SOBE where serving up a classless, overpriced, underwhelming, tourist trap seems to be an art. Heads up: You don't go there bc you want the early bird special in a quiet dining environment. The bar looks like the waiting room for nip/tuck and the place is bustling with chic, well dressed people, esp on event nights in Miami. Being a sexy, dimly lit, steakhouse bar is part of its schitck. The food is phenomenal and dependably consistent. It is def my go-to place for a great steak dinner. I highly recommend the Ceviche, any steak, and the house salad. Side veggies are farm fresh, abundantly served, and cooked just right. For dessert I recommend the smores and the chocolate chip cookies... just trust me and order it. When I go with a group I make sure to order a mix of filet and NY Strip. Only downside is the high price point. However, I really don't mind it that much because you get what you pay for. If the prices were more reasonable, I would def eat there more often (and probably spend more money in the long run). In any event, happy eating! I HIGHLY recommend this place for anyone in the mood for a great steak in Miami Beach.

    This is my favorite restaurant in Miami so far... Make sure to make a reservation unless you are solo and are going to sit at the bar. Get there a little bit earlier than your reservation, because the hostesses won't seat you right away (that's the only bad thing about this place- bad hostesses). Service is good, and the food is excellent. If you have a chance, because they run out of those fast, order the stuffed lobster that has seafood stuffing in it- its really good! Everything on the menu is delicious. The place is pricey but it's worth it.

    We almost canceled our reservation at Prime 112 due to the mixed reviews here on Yelp, so I feel obliged to write. First, let me say that the food was yummy. We had the crab cocktail, arugula salad with beets and goat cheese croutons (don't miss!), the Prime Rib, Alaskan crab legs, hot with butter (yum), a side of lobster mac, and the fried oreos with vanilla ice cream for dessert, too delicious!!! They serve you a lot of food here so if you want to try a lot of different things, you'll be bringing home a big doggy bag, like we did. Our waiter was fast and furious, his service was great, but a little too prompt, I felt rushed, my husband did not. He did not introduce himself, the only reason I know his name is because I looked at the check. He was all business, no fluff. When asked for recommendations, I noticed he mentioned all of the most expensive dishes on the menu. I know this trick well having been a waitress myself years ago. Anyway, we made most of our own choices and took his suggestion for the lobster mac and cheese side. We could have lived without that pricey add on. It was ok. Expect a fast paced atmosphere and some damage on the wallet when you come here. This is more of a NYC scene and less of the typically slow FL scene. Next time I go, which I will, I definitely will make it a point to have a slower experience, somehow. We were in and out in an hour and 15 minutes, with four courses. Our waiter and the bus boys circled the table like sharks at each course to see if we were done yet. All in all, the salad and dessert were absolutely scrumptious, as was the king crab (which we were pleasantly surprised at how much we got for our pound). I have had better Prime Rib, but it was still very good. We were seated for our reservation right on time. Strong four stars.

    Prime One Twelve is the place to eat in Miami. I was recommended by numerous friends and it was one of those rare instances where a place lived up to its reputation. Reservations were made for 8:45 on a Sat, got there 5 mins early. There apparently is a customary wait of an hour or so even with reservations as we were told by the locals and we sat down @ 10. Didn't mind the wait so much due to the strong drinks and the vibrant bar scene. This place was packed to the gills, and it became a madhouse when Amare Stoudomire and his entourage showed up for dinner. I've had my fair share of steaks growing up around great steakhouses in NY and I would say this place rivaled any in the Big Apple. Ignore the cost's as this place obviously isn't for the budget minded and enjoy one the best meals you'll have all year. The Fillet and the Truffle Mac and Cheese were beyond tasty. I will definitely be returning when I am in Miami next, this is the place to be.

  • Jinny B.

    I had gone to this restaurant years ago when they first opened and it was such a hot spot that even with reservations we had waited for 2 hours by the bar before we were seated. We saw Spike Lee and some NBA coach but it was riddiculous. I decided to give it another try. Went here on a Thursday night with a 7:15 reservation and we were seated right away. Swanky atmosphere and chic crowd. The waiter was friendly and gave us great service. I had a tuna ceviche appetizer that was amazing and the portion was huge. For my main course I had the specialty of the house- steak. The steak was cooked perfectly and we had a side dish of brussel sprouts with pancetta. My husband got the 4 1/2 pound lobster. Everything was perfect from start to finish. I'm glad I gave this place another try because I would definitely go back for more.

    First I gotta say, I am so envious of the beautiful people of Miami Beach. I went here tonight and I think I was the only fat ass up in the whole place. The women were thin, tan and beautiful. The men they were with were rich. Some of them were pretty hot but of course they had their pretty woman with them. ugh whatever. jk lol Anyway on with the review. The bread was fresh and warm. 3 different types. Cheese bread, a fruit and nut one and I believe the other might have been pumpernickel. We started off with the Oyster Rockefeller which my coworker was dying to have. I'm not too fond of cooked oysters but I tried one anyway. Um... I'll stick with the raw oyster on the half shell. My coworker and her bf loved them though, so dont take my word for it since I dont care for cooked oysters anyway. Next we had the chopped salad with green goddess dressing. This salad is HUGE and will feed a family. There were 3 of us and there was still half the salad left and still some left on our plates. It was so fresh and delicious. Romaine lettuce, carrots, heart of palm, asparagus, cucumber, tomatoes and the bacon? I dont know if you would call it bacon. Nice size bits of smokey porky morsels (can you say that 10 times in a row real fast?). I had the bone in rib eye without the optional sauces. So moist and just amazing. The other 2 shared a larger rib eye good for 2.... yeah right, it was good for like 3 or 4. It could have been on the beginning of The Flinstones cartoon when the waitress brings out the rack of ribs and the car tips over. The 2 that ate that said it was one of the best steaks they've ever had. We ordered a side of roasted garlic mashed potatoes which was so creamy and also delicious. We also had the sauteed broccoli rabe which the waiter recommended. It was too bitter for me. After all that, we still had dessert. 3 giant chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream. These cookies squirted chocolate when broken. Nothing like I've ever had before. How did they do that? Very yummy and chocolatey. Not a cheap place. Portions are enough to feed a few people so if you order a lot, you better be ready to take some doggy bags home. This place is a must for my next trip back to Miami Beach.

    i guess you'd have to be into this kind of place. i have a list of complaints (am i a grouch, or what?) but i'll only name a few. 1. smells like truffle and cheese when you walk in the door. not pleasant if you're not eating truffles or cheese at that moment. which i was not, so it smelled like feet. 2. we had that swanky table by the bar. guarantees you'll get smarmy guys ogling, and evil stares from jealous hoochies. glad we were only using one side of the table though because if you sat on the bar side, you would be getting smacked in the head repeatedly by harried waiters, or sloshy cougars. or that guy in the paisley shirt. it was very crowded, loud and yucky. does our willingness to pay outrageous prices not earn us some crowd control from the employees there? 3. food was good but not worth the hour we waited for it or the outrageous price. i was over the truffle mac before it came after smelling it for hours. it was more like a condiment than a side dish since they way overdid it. it was too... truffle-cheese-y. my friend's lobster sucked. she says she would have sent it back, but it had already been an hour. the crab cake was pretty good. and the cocktail sauce that came with the shrimp had a good wasabi kick. i recommend the veal and the scalloped potatoes if you have to eat here. definitely not the place to go for new and exciting dishes. anyhoo, i like seeing and being seen as much as the next gal on south beach, but i didn't find this experience pleasant (though the hostess was nice and my friends are great). extra star because it's pretty, but i couldn't even drown myself in liquor to get through the waiting, the crowding, the ogling, the truffling, etc. because the drinks were so pricey.... pass.

    We had an 11:00 PM reservation and arrived 10 minutes early. The place was so crowded there was nowhere to even stand and we were told they had no idea how long it'd be before our table would be ready. We were told to have a drink at the bar and they would find us. Unfortunately the bar was five deep and not exactly a comfortable place to wait. This was not exactly in line with my expectations of fine dining. We left and had a great dinner at Red.

    Primetime at Prime 112! My first trip to Miami, had no expectations since I was on a business trip coming from Vegas & Minnesota. When a friend suggested this place for drinks & dinner...I thought, here we go again. I miss California, I wanna go home! But I had no idea the entire Hollywood would also be at this joint. Drinks were great, I had a cosmo (since it was still "the IT girly drink" last summer). Flavor was there, with adequate amount of vodka. We ran into Eddie Murphy, OJ Simpson, a bball player...and many others. We sat at a corner table, with awesome appetizers & side dishes. The steaks were, well, as good as it gets. We ordered mac & cheese, oysters were fantastic. Not a dish could go wrong. Come here, it's worth the wait. Not only Primetime for your tummy, but with Hollywood starlets at your next tables, this is Primetime for your eyes as well.

    If you are in Miami eat here. Trust me. Just do it. The place is amazing. Get the Kobe Meatball and any other piece of meat on the menu. Everything that we ordered here was absolutely perfect. The sides are very large so make sure you are hungry and don't forget reservations because this place is impossibly to get in to without them. We had reservations and still had to wait 20 minutes for our table. But the wait was well worth it. This place is also right around the corner from some great bars and clubs so it's a great spot to start your night off at.

    Sunday Evening, 7:30pm reservations. Waited by the bar until our "entire party" was present, since they would not seat us until that time. The bar was hardly large enough for a person to stand behind the chairs and there was an unfortunate table that was practically in the bar (avoid!). We (party of 8) sat outside by the sidewalk and were able to watch the over priced cars cruising by. The other diners outside consisted of couples and a group of cheap dressed, plastic infused, Barbies with their gay entourage and children and little dog. Sitting outside meant putting up with people smoking cigs (both on the deck and by the front door), not favored when trying to enjoy the sublte flavors of a steakhouse. The Food --Apps -- Huge seafood platter. Jumbo shrimp - not very flavorful. Poke tuna - good. Crab Claws & Clams - I don't do these. Kobe Meatball - really good! HUGE! Bone Marrow - didn't try it, looked nasty and fatty. --Side Dishes -- Steamed Broccoli w/Chedder - more like cheeze whiz, very unappealing. Scalloped Parmesan Potatoes - piping hot, pretty good. Sauteed Forest Mushrooms - yummy Creamed Corn w/ Black Truffles - sounds better than it was. --Main Dishes-- I had 8oz Filet Med-Rare - Odd side gave way to uneven cooking so some was med and other parts were almost well done. Well always tastes like sirloin/burger to me. Not easily eaten with only a fork, kinda rough. I was honeslty really disappointed in the steak. 4oz Kobe - excellent! One of the few places you can get a Kobe steak in the US. Be prepared to pay for it at $25/oz! Sea Bass - reviews were high from the table, one of the specialties and Prime One Twelve Jumbo Fried Shrimp - Huge, okay overall. -- Dessert -- Warm Dulce De Leche Bread Pudding - massive, could feed 4 people. Good, more bread than pudding though. Hot and melty! Overall -- For the price and the overall atmosphere of the place it was a let down. The crowd was low-class wanna be's and you *had* to have a reservation. Flashy cars preferred. Boob jobs a must (maybe this is just Miami though?). Kobe was great, filet was diner quality. Service was 7/10 attentive (even though the waiter was wildly gesticulating and ended up marking my blouse with his pen!). Side dishes left a lot to be desired and they kept running out of the wine selections we started on. Thankfully the meal was not paid for by me. I'd go back for the Kobe on someone else's card.

    Crowded... Loud... A place to be seen more than anything... Reservations and ull still wait maybe an hour...more of an experience than anything... Fried Oreos are not that serious... Steak is like Morton's or Ruth's Chris... Greens are good... Lobster Mac is amazing.. I had an awful experience after eating filet mignon and Mac and cheese .. My stomach hurt that night so bad it felt like I had a brick in my stomach .. The waiter was super rude

  • Donnie M.

    I have been here five times now and it is the best steak house in Miami as long as you don't mind waiting an hour plus past your reservation. Food is worth the wait, make an early reservation knowing that it will take a while to be seated.

  • Tina T.

    We came in on a Tuesday afternoon and called in to make sure we would be seated without a reservation. We were the first customers and got seated quickly. The food was awesome! Silly us though, no one ordered any steak. We had salmon, chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes, and the mac 'n cheese. Everything was mouth-watering and just delicious. I'm still thinking about the food and I ate here 2 months ago!

  • Elizabeth G.

    Do you want to have a great steak or seafood? Prime One Twelve is the place to go. The food is amazing. The times that I have been at the restaurant it has been crowded so don't forget to make a reservation. For dessert, you must try the fried Oreos.

    The only reason I am giving this place two stars is because the food was very good. The service and atmosphere, however, were absolutely horrible. We had a 7:30 reservation and were expecting a wait, given the restaurant and that it was late December. I was expecting a half hour to a forty-five minute wait. Well, it wasn't. With a reservation, we waited for 2 hours and 45 minutes. Yes. That long. It was absolutely ridiculous. We would have left earlier, but they kept telling us, "20 more minutes!' Unless you are a regular, they treat you like shit. They have a waitress specifically to get drinks for the people who are waiting. From what I can tell, they do this to make more money. They figure, "hey, let's make these people wait for over two hours and get a ton of money from them by having them order $20 drinks." Tipping off the maitre d does absolutely nothing to help with the wait. I will never go back to this place. It was an absolutely terrible experience. Everyone in this restaurant treats you like you are nothing. On top of that, this place is way over priced. DO NOT GO HERE

    For those who scored this restaurant anything less than perfect you probably fall into one or more of these categories: 1. You really can't afford to dine here, but went just to say you did. 2. You had an unusually bad experience 3. You had to wait a while- btw if you throw the hostess some money, you will get seated immediately. If that's not for you, or you think that's ridiculous- don't go here or wait a while... It is what it is. 4. You don't know what good food or service is. Amazing food, great service! Yes, it's loud and packed- but after all it's one of the highest grossing restaurants in the nation.

    We always make it a point to come here when we come to South Beach. If you love steak and aren't afraid of heavy, savory sides, this place is amazing. While it is very expensive, it is worth every penny! You can easily share a steak and sides. We had the NY Strip, Truffle Lobster Mac n Cheese and the Truffled Cream Corn...all non-fat of course! It was all amazing and worth the calories. Even though we were so full, the waiter said we had to try dessert so we gave in and of all the items he suggested, he convinced us to have the Fried Oreos! I never thought I would eat a fried dessert except for donuts. Truth is...they were amazing too! The Oreos kind of melted within the fried dough. Save your pennies and definitely put this on your culinary bucket list!! It's worth it!!

    How can you not love a place that serves bacon as bar food. Great drinks, great people watching (always celebrities here), and most importantly, great food. Steak is fantastic 5 cheese truffle mac and cheese is out of this world Truffle Fries are fantastic Last but not least is the fried oreos and french vanilla ice cream is what I would order as my last meal on earth. It is THAT GOOD

    Ok not that Prime needs any more accolades, but this place has consistently delivered the goods for years now. In Miami, this is a truly impressive statement as hot restaurants come and go like the tide. I have dined here on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed at the sheer quality of the meal and the great ambiance of the restaurant. There is usually a wait - even with reservations but the food always makes it worth it. We waited an hour one time with reservations, but as we were waiting we saw D-Wade and the Williams Sisters walk in. I'm sure they took our table... ; - p We got extremely lucky another time as we showed up without reservations with a relatively large party, and they were able to accommodate us on the upstairs balcony. It was great as we had our own private dining area! Now onto the food - absolutely awesome. The lobster bisque is delicious. The jumbo shrimp are immense. The bone-in ribeye for two definitely feeds two and is superb. I am not a big filet fan, but the filet here is also excellent. I can honestly say that Prime has the best steak in Miami. (I've frequented BLT, the Palm, Capital Grille, Christy's, The Forge, Morton's, Shula's, Smith & Wollensky, Meat Market,etc) The sides were all good with the Lobster truffle mac and cheese being the star. I also enjoyed the sauteed mushrooms and creamed spinach. Listen, this place is definitely not cheap but if you are looking for a great night with excellent food and awesome ambiance Prime 112 delivers. You could easily spend as much money at some of the hot restaurants of the moment and risk bad service or bad food for an exorbitant price. Come here if you are out to impress and you will not be disappointed.

    Prime 112 is what people say, expensive, overly crowded and the waiters are rude. Once you accept that and know how to avoid it you can have a lovely meal as we did on a beautiful summer afternoon. First thing, go for lunch during the week. It's empty then and the prices are more than fair. You still get the stellar bread basket with different spreads as a free starter and can order off the lunch as well as the dinner menu. We sat inside to get the full experience, and chose lunch since we have gone through our fair share of nearly $100 steaks ($88 for the porterhouse here) I had the "Keys Style" Fried Grouper Sandwich with melted american cheese, shredded lettuce, beefsteak tomato & tartar sauce which was huge, fresh, crispy and delicious and at $19 including their housemade kettle chips, a great deal considering the dinner menu prices where it is $13 to add a side to your meal. My husband had the Prime 112 Steak Sandwich on a toasted baguette with caramelized onions, frisee & herb mayo, also fabulous and by far the cheapest way to eat a steak here (also $19 with chips), considering the cheapest steak on the dinner menu is $52. $40 for a fabulous lunch at one of the best establishment the beach has to offer is perfect for a date or early celebration, save yourself the hassle with dinner! Our server I took with a grain of salt. Yes, he was rude and snobby, but in a somewhat charming Sopranos type of way. It fits the place, which has a tough, masculine vibe, just go with it, know what to expect and you will enjoy it tremendously as we did.

    Was very excited to go here because of hearing great reviews. Made a reservation the day before, arrived half hour early and they sat us right away. It was a tuesday night and 6:30 so I think that's why. When we left we saw people waiting in and outside. The service was amazing. They have a couple of waiters to each table. Every time a drink was getting close to empty, they would have another one already on its way. Salads are extremely big and can service at least 4 people easily so we had one salad for the table and had alot left over. Ordered a bottle of wine that is $20 in the liquor store and it was about $56 here. For entrees we all ordered our own steak choice ( i had the 8 oz. filet mignon) and it was great. The sides (accessories they call) are also big and family style. We ordered the Roasted Garlic Mash which was delicious and the five cheese truffle MAC. The MAC was definitely really cheesy and maybe a little too strong for me. For desert I had the Fried Oreos with Vanilla ice cream and it was out of this world. The restaurant is beautiful and pretty big, romantic setting. The food is definitely pricey but well worth it. If you're looking for a great meal i'd recommend eating here if you're not afraid to drop some dough. Make sure you make a reservation! All the other dishes coming out looked great, would definitely go back next time i'm in South Beach. Also, there is valet parking which is a plus. Great Experience overall.

    The food is excellent and the portions are really big, you feel like you're in texas. For starters I would recommend the following food Tomato Basil Soup, Oyster Rockefeller or any other Oysters that they have on their special menu. Main course: Sesame crusted hawaiian big tuna

    I feel like this month in Miami, every nice restaurant has decided to serve me terrible food and make my night miserable (not really, but really). I came down with a cold but my fiance had a friend visiting in town who wanted to check out a trendy Miami restaurant so we decided to dine at Prime 112. We decided this at 6:30 pm on a Friday night. I knew that I would not be able to make a reservation for the same evening (especially on a Friday at prime time) but the Gods someone hooked it up and when I called to ask if they could squeeze us in she told me that she was able to squeeze us in at 9 (after she did tell me that they did not have anything available until 11:00pm). Happy face - :) I was so excited, as I truly enjoyed dining with Prime 112 the million +1 times that I have dined with them, and take all of my guests visiting in town here. However, last night was really an unacceptable dining experience and the worst experience that I have ever had at Prime 112. I get it, it's a Friday night at Prime 112. It's GOING to be JAM PACKED from wall to wall. We didn't even mind waiting the hour wait (WITH a reservation) to be seated. We had drinks at the bar (mango-tini, pomegranate, rum/tonic). I definitely regret having those drinks today as now my cold is worse, but that's another story. So bottom line, we didn't mind the wait at all. Now on to the things that we DID mind: - Our waiter served a table first that was seated AFTER us - He then took over 25 minutes to take our drink order, by then we were annoyed and already knew what we wanted so we just placed our order right away. I did end up ordering a second pomegranate martini and could not finish it, as it tasted as if I had just poured pure sugar into a glass and then added a 1 tsp of water and that was the drink. We ordered the tuna tartar, organic field greens salad with poppy seed dressing & apples, filet mignon, and veal. - Tuna tartar? "Meh, I've experienced better" - Organic field greens salad, excellent. - Steak, came out rare even though I had ordered medium. The amount of pink that was on the steak assured me that the cook was most definitely blind, as there was no way that a cook with working eyes could believe that the steak was cooked medium. When I flagged "SOS" to the waiter, he assured me that they would heat it up some more. When the steak returned, it was now burnt. It tasted as if I was licking the grill, disgusting. Really terrible steak. - The veal was good, but not excellent by any means. - We also ordered a side of asparagus, which we all could not eat more than one as they were also burnt to a crisp! I really wanted to stay and order the snickers pie but after the experience, I decided not to. We just ordered the check and then left. The server did not say more than 10 words to us the entire night. When I asked him about the dressing he just said, "it's really good". Really good? By what standards? How about you tell me what it TASTES like. Now, the ambiance is amazing. This restaurant has the best ambiance in all of Miami, but the food is terrible. This only gets two stars because the salad was excellent and they did manage to squeeze us in last minute with a reservation which we did appreciate. Also due to the ambiance, which was superb. Most likely won't be back here for a very long time, if ever at all.

    When the bill came...I was told that I would have to calculate my OWN bill add my OWN tax and gratuity...amongst my group/party (this took an additional hour of our sought out celebration to calculate our bill of $600)...the server laughed and walked off not offering any help or level or proffesionalism that was to be accepted. One would think at fine dinning restaurant...you would be better accommodated. The level of service does not meet the same level of the crusine that is served there. It was definitely a disappointing experience. You are better off ordering your food to go...service is not up to par in the least bit. My stars are for the rib eye, and lobster Mac & Cheese and the rest of my table's $600 bill. As well as Derek at the host stand when you walk in. They are very smart to put their *BEST* in the front to greet you. Derek could give some of the staff a lesson on how to smile and be inviting and polite. I thought I was going to have an experience of a life time...just not a negative one. Extreme disappointment.

    Made reservations for a friends birthday dinner, six of us on a wednesday night. Super busy but because we had reservations we were sat right away. Waiter was awesome, blue cheese salad, fondue, mac and cheese, filet, bread pudding, fried oreos... it was all delicious. Very pricey for the meal but i can understand the quality of the food and the service was superb. excellent.

    Went here after seeing it on Real Housewives of NYC..yes, really. Stayed several blocks down at the Park Central Hotel and it was a good 15-20 min walk. Had reservations at 9pm, got there at like 8:55 and didn't get seated until about 9:50pm. Group after group of people/couples ahead of us kept getting seated before us, even though they arrived after us AND we had reservations, but whatever I guess! Got seated (seating is VERY close quarters here!) and quickly decided what we wanted to eat and drink. Had a mojito (eh) and a bottle of beer..cant go bad there! Bread came to the table and all of it was super yummy and warm. My favorite was the brown bread with onions in the middle because I think everything tastes better with onions! We then started off sharing the tomato soup with the mini grilled cheese. First of all, the mini grilled cheese is a piece of crispy cracker, not a grilled cheese! Second of all, the soup was amazing. Like really, really good. We could tell we were filling up from the bread and soup but we just couldnt let the waiter take the soup away. We basically nursed it all night! Entree for husband: 1lb kobe beef burger with cheese. Said it was good but not amazing. My entree: I decided to be a fatty and went with the chicken and waffles! I'd never had chicken and waffles before and had wanted to try it for years so I finally just did it. So soo good! Wow. I hated the buffalo sauce they had on the side but just eating it with normal syrup was amazing. We had already eaten so much by this point that I could only eat 1/2 of my meal but the 1/2 I had was def worth it! We ended the night with fried oreos that neither of us really cared for. They werent awful but they werent all that good either. All in all the place was okay. Service was fine, the food was good and if somebody wanted to take me there again i'd go. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to go there by ourselves again but still good. The whole not being seated thing really irked us though..totally lame when you have a reservation and you watch people get sat before us (and they were new comers, hadnt been at the bar either).

    Made a reservation for 8 pm and didn't get seated til 10pm. Come here if you like to wait hours on end for your food and get treated rudely by the hostesses. Would never return unless someone was holding a gun to my head!!! Yes, that bad.

    This is for the steaks: I don't know if it's better than Mastro's (the best steakhouse in southern california). I couldn't decide, so I'm going to eat at Mastro's again. i definitely think prime one twelve had a better filet, but not a better ribeye (still good though) but not compared to Mastros in LA. I love their bread, their cheese bread is so yummy! We ate so much before our dinner. The steak was cooked perfectly. We were lucky we didn't have to wait even we made resos, and we got seated near the bathroom/door so it wasn't that loud. Service was excellent, our server stood there waiting for us, sure it was a lil awkward but he was there when we needed him! I'll do an update, I'll compare Mastro's to Prime one twelve.

    Seems like there are some negative reviews for Prime One Twelve, especially from fellow west coast reviewers, but we had a great experience at Prime One Twelve. Perhaps it was because our reservations was a bit later around 830 on a Saturday? We showed up 5 minutes before our reservation, so the hostess informed us our table wasn't ready yet. We decide to stop by the bar to have a drink where we waited probably 10 minutes max. The hostess came to get us and guided us to a private table in an elevated nook next where there were plenty of wine bottles on display in the background. The way we were seated, we looked out onto the main floor of the restaurant. I really enjoyed the décor and the different chairs and tables in each corner. I guess we got really lucky since there was no chance of traffic where we were seated in that area. Our waiter was fantastic and sent someone over to recommend bottles of wine. The wine selection was amazing!!! Went perfectly with our food. We tried so many dishes, I can't even recall all of them, but we kept saying how good the food was the entire dinner. Only thing that maybe wasn't all that crazy was the hyped up peanut butter lobster sandwich? But it was still interesting. We spent close to 3 hours there and by the end, we were stuffed but managed to get an espresso each to try to stay awake for the evening's festivities. In those 3 hours, never did we feel rushed, even when it was clear the restaurant staff was starting the cleaning for the next day. FANTASTIC SERVICE and can't wait to visit One Twelve again!!

    The evening started with Oysters Rockefeller & Fresh Ceviche. The Ceviche was amazing on to the main course. 30oz Bone in Rib Eye for Two, cooked med and it was perfect. The sides were Truffle Mac N Cheese and Fresh Steamed Broccoli. We toped that with a glass of Champagne and slice of New York Cheesecake Bananas Fosters. We brought most of the desert back to the Condo for a midnight snack. Cappuccino finished the night. Never a bad meal at Prime 112.

    Prime One Twelve where true fine dining meets a steakhouse. I have consistently heard wonderful things about this restaurant, and I must agree, all that has been said, is true. If I were to recommend one restaurant while visiting Miami, Prime One Twelve would be that restaurant. The drinks are good, the steaks superb, and the desserts divine. This will forever be one of my favorite stops for an excellent dinner in South Beach. 5 Stars, and I only wish I could rate them higher.

    Love this place for an expensive steakhouse. brought 6 of us this place, 4 hungry college students. We ordered the 48oz and the 30oz rib eye to share for the boys. Several sides too. Also the tuna and steak tartar were great as well. Would definitely return here. Great for people watching and great cars parked outside too

    I preface this review by saying that prime 112 came highly recommended by several friends, so I made a reservation for my daughter's 13th Birthday celebration as we were going to be in Miami on vacation at the time. The reservation was made months in advance so my daughter could have a special South Beach Miami birthday experience, what happened next was unforgivable! We arrived on time and were taken to our table, a nice secluded round table with a great view of the restaurant. We had a somewhat disinterested waitress take our drink and appetizer orders and dinner was underway. Just afterward, the manager Derrick, snuck around to the back of our booth and told my wife that ten minutes into our dining experience, we would either have to "Eat Quickly", or be moved to another table in the restaurant.Not wanting to make a scene, my wife reluctantly agreed to moving as we didn't want to be rushed for our daughters birthday dinner. When she told us what the manager had said, we were upset as we had made this reservation so far in advance, so we couldn't imagine what was so important that we HAD to be moved. We spoke with the manager once they had moved us to a breezy table near the kitchen. He was unwilling to tell us why we had to move, and tried to give us a free appetizer along with a "free" dessert for the birthday girl (they don't give a free dessert for a birthday anyway?). After trying to further discuss a solution that would be perhaps easier for us to accept, he basically said no, and walked away. Livid over the bad treatment, we tried to go on with our evening as it was for my daughter's birthday. We ordered meals, several of them were made incorrectly, and the steaks were just terrible, and had to be sent back to cooked correctly. Needless to say when the bill arrived for $250.00+ I balked as the service, treatment and food were NOTHING appropriate to the cost. BTW, at the bottom of the bill along with the gratuity already added, was of course "Birthday Dessert -$15.00" So in essence, we were worth a fifteen dollar dessert so long as we would go away without creating a scene over the mistreatment. The last straw was that an employee informed us that the table we originally had was being given to Michael Vick......of the Dog Fighting and torturing fame, so it's celebrity pandering over genuine concern for paying customers at Prime 112. I've never encountered such an arrogant, self-serving restaurant employee in my life, and it was made clear that we were merely an impediment to the manager's desire to have a "Celebrity" (not my opinion) in his restaurant instead of honest, hard working paying customers trying to have a nice, memorable evening out for their daughters birthday. Unfortunately it WAS memorable, but for all the wrong reasons! The owners should be ASHAMED of their manager as he is the lasting memory of their establishment I would hope they would be interested as he chose Michael Vick over a family that just wanted a special night at their restaurant for their daughter's birthday. I also have to mention in the interest of honesty, that the wait staff we had after the disinterested waitress and pathetic manager was first class and seemed to sympathize with us as they took great care to make sure at least SOME of the evening was as to be expected in a nice restaurant. They seemed embarrassed by the shoddy treatment the restaurant gave us.

    Food was awesome, service was good. Cool environment, but for them cramming tables together ... everyone is so close and cramped, there is no elbow room (literally) and it is so loud because it's jam packed (we were there at 9pm on a Wednesday night).

    I wanted to give this 5 stars. I really did. I have eaten here before with coworkers and wanted to treat my husband to an amazing meal before we have our first child. Well its midnight and we just got home from dinner. We had 730 reservations...arrived at 715 and checked right in. There were a lot of open tables both outside and inside.. Though it was crowded, it wasnt crazy so i thought we'd get seated within reason to our reservation. Now, i came in expecting that we wouldnt get seated for an hour or so...this way i wouldnt get dissapointed. But i was. We started to notice about 30 mins after we arrived that people were arriving and getting seted immediately. Apparently you either slip money to the manager or hostess or drop the name of so and so and so and magically you get a table. So there was only one couple ahead of us and when they finally got seated i knew we were close. Well 45 mins later and more people seated who arrived after us...we decided to leave. We waited two hours and just gave up. I wouldnt be so dissappointed except that when i arrived i mentioned that i was 8.5 months pregnant and they assured me the wait wouldnt be too long and always kept saying we were next. They never offered me water or a place to sit. Im not a needy pregnant woman (my husband would agree) but water and a chair are pretty necessary for pregnant women and i wasnt trying to use it as a crutch to get seated. By the time we left though i was famished (wouldnt even bring me bread to snack on) and my ankles were the size of basketeballs because of the dehydration. The manager and hostesses are just there to make up stories, lie to you, disrespect you, ignore you, take money from patrons who dont have reservations or to cut the line....thye serve no other purpose. Theres no reason the make a reservation. Im nit quite sure why they triple book thei restaurnt and leave the staff to fight with people all night. Why dont you just have a first come first serve basis. It would probably be more effecient. Or im sure ou just love that once people get a table they feel lucky to even be dining at your restaurant. Yes your food is good. But youn arent among the best in the world. Restaurants that are rated high around the world have excellent customer service and yours just blows. So at 915 my husband and i left and drove 40 miles out of our way to eat at III Forks in Hallandale Beach. Excellent PRIME fillets, creamed corn, potatoes, salads and cheesecake to go. Honestly your restaurant needs to get over itself and treat people with respect and dignity and stop acting like youre God's gift to mankind. Its funny because there were two pregnant women in your restaurant tonight snd neither of us were seated tonight. Did we not fit the South Beach "mold"?

    The only reason I didnt give this place a full 5 stars was that the waiter took my steak away without asking or offering to box it for me. I had only eaten half and was very upset at the thought of my awesome steak sitting in the trash. I didnt want to make a big deal out of it so I didnt mention it to the waiter or manager. I will have to remember next time to explicitly say I wanted the leftovers. I mean who wouldnt? Great great steakhouse! Everything I had was very tasty included the special seafood appetizer (since we had a large party). The seafood appetizer included tuna tar tar, oysters, shrimp cocktail, ceviche and so much more. It was all very fresh and yummy! I had to refrain myself from eating too much so that I could save room for the entree! I ordered the 14oz NY Strip which was cooked EXACTLY the way I liked it, medium rare. It was juicy, well seasoned ... I am salivating just thinking about this awesome piece of steak! But you cant have steak without some sides - here is what I had and what i would recommend: Crispy French Fries - YES Roasted Garlic Mash - Eh, you can skip this Sweet Potato and Vanilla Bean Mash - Yes! Yes ! Yes! Five Cheese Truffle MAC - YES YES YES! Things to try next time: Tator tots, Fried Green tomatoes, Spinach and Parmesan stuffed tomatoes Dessert: Deep fried oreos. I didnt expect this to be good but it really was. So much so that I have forgotten the other desserts we ordered. ha!

    Absolute jerks..... Had a reservation and after 2 hours of waiting still not seated. After being spoken to like we were unintelligible idiots we decided to leave. Why take a reservation if you are just planning to bump me for the C and D list celebrity that is going to walk through the door? I have given you numerous chances and you continue to show how you want to run your restaurant like a bottle service club! This would never happen in NYC... Prime 112 is definitely the spot for groupies hoping to have a shot at some half ass celebrity. By the way.. 15 minute wait really means 3+ hours.... be warned!

    2.5 Stars My last night in Miami and my friend takes me to the trendiest spot east of the Mississippi. I've never been in a more crowded restaurant. You would think they were handing out free Botox injections. We started our meal with the pan seared diver scallops with slowly braised short ribs and truffle mashed potatoes ($25) and numerous cocktails at $15 each. The scallops were quite good- the short rib and the scallops together worked well. For the main course we each had a 22 oz. Bone-In Rib Eye ($56), five cheese truffle macaroni and cheese ($13) and white truffle French fries ($15). The steaks were visually appealing on the outside but lacked the depth of flavor one would get at a traditional steakhouse. I was truly disappointed. The mac and cheese and truffle fries were damn-good but did not make up for those over-hyped steaks. Over-hyped and over-priced. This place looks amazing and the patrons and staff are nipped & tucked perfect but the food was average at best and the service was poor. This is a place to see and be seen but it's not a place for for a stellar steak.

    I have to start out by saying, I love this place. It's by far my favorite restaurant in Miami - one of my top 3-5 I've experienced. If you want a memorable dining experience for any special occasion (this is really a special occasion place) this is the place. You also have to know what you're getting yourself into and prepare to spend a decent amount here. I see some of the "bad" reviews on here complaining about price - hello, where are you from, Kentucky? Not that there's anything wrong with that - but you get what you pay for!!!! Hey, like I said, if you're celebrating, and have the means, that's what it should all be about! The other "bad" reviews are that it takes a long time to get seated - well if LeBron, Cameron Diaz or a Kardashian comes in there without a reservation, you better believe they're getting seated before you. Build a bridge, and get over it. I took my dad and g/f here for her birthday a couple months ago (it was their 1st meeting - again "special occasion" place!) and they both cannot stop talking about Prime 112 nearly 2 months later. From the service, to the food, to the ambiance - all were 5 stars - best of the best. We actually wound up sitting outside, which I was initially a little disappointed by - but we just happened to have perfect weather for sitting outside around dusk, and it was the perfect setting. Every time one of us went inside to use the restroom, and noticed how frigid the A/C was inside, it made us thankful to be outside. We had a good sampling of cuisine - seafood appetizers, steak entrees (porterhouse and filet), lobster mac & cheese and potatoes sides, and of course the world famous fried oreos for dessert. All were amazing, memorable, and possibly (no, probably) life-altering. Service was great as well - when you sit outside you almost have to mentally prepare yourself that the service may not be as prompt, but nope, it was great too. Any of my future trips to Miami will DEFINITELY include a stop at Prime 112 - no question about it. It's one of those places that I will always be fond of, and something you have to experience for yourself to have an appreciation for it. You should expect a 5 star service, 5 star food, 5 star experience and a 5 star bill at the end, LOL.

    My friends and have a tradition of of eating here every year on one of our birthdays. The food and ambience and service has remained consistent throughout the years. We were seated promptly Sunday night, and we had a great evening. The service is top notch, I don't know how many times I dropped my napkin, but 2 seconds later there was a waiter giving me a brand new one. As far as the food, I can't comment directly about the steak, but I know my friends love it. The fish is generally excellent especially the grouper and sea bass. The free bread they offer as starters is delicious especially the cheese scones! One of my favorite dishes is the truffle mac and cheese side order. I don't know what they do, but it is the best mac and cheese I have ever had. The caesar salad is delicious and gigantic. We had an enormous very good slice of Snickers Peanut Butter Pie for dessert- and for 15 dollars it is certainly meant to feed 5 people. There are a few things we have tried we expected a little better from given the cost and reputation of this place, the tater tots and potato skins looked decadent and delicious but were pretty average. The portions here are very large, so things are expensive but they do let you share items and are not snooty about it. We also ordered 2 bottles of wine. The first 'Flowers Pinot Noir' from the CA was fabulous, the second less expensive wine was just okay. I liked the Pinot Noir so much, I looked it up online and realized it sells for 50 dollars a bottle, at Prime we were charged $130, but this is nothing new or specific to Prime 112, all establishments pretty much overcharge for wine. Prime 112 has a Lovely location right across from the beach, I recommend it for a party dinner or a romantic one, despite the noise level.

    Some South Beach places are "ALL" hype but, Prime 112 is consistnently "SOLID" We love eating here I can go all the time and I never get sick of this place ! Ahi Poke tuna " must try" it is not on the menu but they seem to always have it. I am guessing if the tuna is not fresh enough they do not buy it. I never seen tuna taste and look like candy before in my life. Topped with crushed macadamia nuts UNREAL. I love the sea bass how they make fish taste so moist and out of this world is beyond me. I also Love the steamed Alaskan King crab legs as a appetizer they are HUGE ! * Try the smores dessert wow it is the perfection combination after your meal ! All the reviews about this place are true !!! I suggest making a reservation !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This review reflects more than just the food, which would likely get an extra star. We had 9pm reservations made by our hotel concierge 3 days in advance. When we arrived, the valet told me he needed $20 to park my car. Not after the meal, but right then and there. We walked in and the place was bananas with people crammed into every possible square inch, waiting for a table. As we approached the maitre'd stand, we could see several agitated and furious people complaining to the hostess about how long they had waited, and that their reservations were now over an hour past due. We told them we had arrived and they highlighted our name, but said it might be a while. "A while" at Prime 112 means an hour and a half past your reservation. It would be one thing if this were just an off night where they had several large parties who overstayed the normal amount of time, but according to our server and other Yelp reviewers, this was par for the course. They seem to intentionally overbook the place to create the perception that hundreds of people are clamoring to get into the restaurant on any given night. When you show up with a reservation, it's no better than if you had just put your name on a walk-in list. For an hour and a half, we got to watch multiple people get furious and complain to the hostess, who was already stretched well beyond her capacity to actually care. Once we were seated, we took a look at the wine list. While there were definitely some good choices on the menu, the prices were absolutely a joke. I travel the country for my job and regularly order bottles of wine for the table. I am used to a restaurant bumping up the retail price by 50-75%, but at P112, many of the bottles I saw were well over a 200% mark-up. On top of this, they didn't even have the bottle I ordered. Our server was excellent. He apologized for the wait, was very friendly and well-informed about everything on the menu. He also cracked a lot of jokes and made the experience of being there so much more fun, especially after such a poor start. We both ordered filets and had the sides of Mac & cheese, creamed corn, and cheddar grits. The creamed corn was the real hero of the sides. We both went back for seconds and thirds on the corn. My medium-rare filet had delicious flavor, but the outer sear was too overdone, with a burn that left all the edges very tough and chewy until I was able to cut my way deeper into the middle. For dessert, we ordered the fried Oreos. Let me just say that these are a must have. You will be consciously aware of the fact that you are probably doing terrible things to your diet and overall health, but your mouth overrides the thought and makes the executive decision to continue anyway. Overall, I'd give the food nearly a 4 star review, but the whole reservation fiasco and obnoxious over-pricing of the wine list took it down a star and a half for me.

    Table for 4 please... We were able to get in with no reso, but it was for the outside seating in what I would call the gangway (chi girl). It was a chilly night (the horror!!), but we took it regardless and thankfully they had heat lamps and strong cocktails to warm the girls up ( ahem, another diner). Our sever was very thorough... excellent staff. He recommended several dishes and here is what I actually experienced: East & West Coast oysters- 3 each, I told my boyfriend to eat my third. Was expecting them to be sweeter, nope. The double wedge salad- half blue cheese halt thousand - terrible. This dish should be called Double Dressed. I'm not exaggerating with how much dressing was slathered on this poor iceberg lettuce. They killed what would have been a refreshing starter. Poke Tuna (sashimi)- melted in my mouth, it was good but not $50 worth. Probably priced that way due to the portion - I'm guessing 2 cups cubed (this is not served with rice, chips or anything other than a few slices of avocado on top). It was seasoned with a a sesame soy sauce and they gave you another dipping sauce on the side; like a mayo & sriracha fusion. (Looked nothing like the pictures I just saw on google) Soy Marinated Sea Bass - my boyfriend got this, he ate it all so it must have been just right for him. I had one bite- it was too sweet. It was glazed with the soy or something else. Crab legs - our friend got this, HUGE portion. These legs where longer than my arms and I'm not a little person. These were excellent, glad it wasn't lathered with anything. Some lemon, PADowww... Happy mouth. Our other friend had French Onion soup - I do not try this. However by the looks of it, it looked like cheese with a little bit of soup (Bahahaha- I see a theme here!) She kept saying, "I've had better" and unfortunately she couldn't dig into our dishes as she's allergic to fish & she'll fish. Would I recommend this place, no. You are better off walking down the strip for the same dishes at far more reasonable price. If the prices are roid up because celebrities go there... We didn't see any. We took the left over crab legs and poke tuna to the hotel. Late am drunk eating had us go for the legs, the poke is probably still there, hehe.

    Omg I ate so well that night! My hubby and I decided to have dinner here on a date night. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because of the wait, there doesnt seem to be a real reason to make a reservation. I saw many people who had just arrived get seated before me.. the next day I did a little research and saw on a few sites that apparently greasing the palms of the hostess/dudes with ear pieces on will get you seated faster. I dont know if that is true but I will tell you I was there long enough to see that there seemed to be people who got priority. Although, I'm happy my wait wasnt as long as some of the other people who reviewed the place. Anyway, on to the food! The steak was just perfect. We ordered the scalloped potatoes as well. The sides are served family style, as our server put it, so they are plenty to share. We had left overs galore. Everything was awesome, it had been a while since I had a good steak so I was glad to devour this one. lol I will note that the place was allot louder and casual then I expected from the outside. There were children yelling and wandering around when I was there (10 p.m. on a Thursday), vacationers probably, but I guess I expected something more romantic. Would I go back? Eh.. if someone really wanted to go. I loved the food, dont get me wrong.. it was the ambiance that I didnt particularly care for.

    This food was great. The restaurant was a bit stuffy and even with the reservation we waited a few minutes. The ambience and Decor were great. The filet was great and we really enjoyed appetizers and fried Oreos. We had the raw meat app and I wish we lived closer so we could go back! Downside, the restaurant was REALLLLY loud and the people were a bit snobby, but everything we ate really was fantastic.

    Not saying new here as far as the Resv's debacle - But, if you have any interest in actually sitting down anywhere near the time you wanted, just go somewhere else. The lobby of the downstairs reception area is more crowded than the worst nightclub in south beach - the exact opposite vibe of what I/my friends wanted. This place needs a new GM; a new overhaul on they operate. Keep the waiters, which were outstanding + very apologetic, (and none of this is their faults obviously) ... and the food is good. But getting elbowed in the ribs by patrons waiting for their table and service staff walking by needing you to get out of their way, and the absolute clueless team of people up front, who have absolutely no idea what in the world they are doing - Overall, it's just not the way I want to spend my night. And this was for a birthday dinner ... we were the definition of "hangry" by the time we finally got seated ... (7:30 pm RESV ... seated after 9:00pm - over an hour and half of a wait.) Not. Worth. It.

    Hands down probably the best meal i've ever had. A few things were just ok, but the high points were extremely over the top. So to start my date and I had dinner reservations at 7:30, and were motioned over to the bar to wait until our table was ready where we had a couple glasses of wine, and chatted with a few other people at the bar. I don't believe we were sat until close to 9, but were entertained so didn't seem to mind the wait as much. After finally being seated we took a look at the menu, and had more trouble deciding what not to get, than what to actually order. We ended up with several different things: Oysters, Tuna Tartare, Steak and lobster tail, and a potato side dish, which was the only thing that wasn't good at all. The oysters were phenomenal.. We are spoiled and only like the ones for the west coast, so stuck with 6 of them. They were all handled well, and came fairly quickly. Next was the Tuna.. I've never in my life had such a tender, melt in your mouth, perfect tasting piece of fish. Next up was the steak and lobster. Both of these things were cooked to perfection. I can't think of a better lobster tail i've had, and the salt on the steak was absolutely delicious. I can only hope to come back here often. Probably never have the experience that I did that night again, as I find its the people you're with that make the experience great, but at least I can enjoy the food.

    I would have given them a 5 had it not be for the delay in our reservation. What's the use in reserving if a restaurant does not honor the reservation at the proposed time? I had the prosecco, the 14oz new york strip, the deviled eggs w/ truffles and black caviar, oysters, mac n cheese, mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. A lot right?! There was more than enough for leftovers. Our waiter was awesome and attentive. The ambiance was great. I fully intend on going back. Hopefully my reservation will be honored in a timely fashion. Maybe the restaurant should work on it's turn over rate.

    Horrible experience. I have been to Prime Italian several times and have always had a great experienced. I was looking forward to trying Prime 112. I had a group of six and a 7:30pm reservation. We did not get seated until 10pm. That is inexcusable. We were constantly told that we would be seated soon, we were next, etc. I would watch customers hand money, in full view, to the maitre d. I'm no fool and i understand that that happens, but have a little respect. To make matters worse, we spoke with the manager after our meal and he said he would see what he could do regarding cutting a couple cocktails off of our bill. He walked away and returned the bill to us with nothing removed. You never know who your guest is and it should not matter. Will never return and I recommend that you don't either.

    Decided to try this place as I was given to understand that this is one of Miami's hot spots!! Went there for a business dinner a while ago. You definitely need to reserve in advance as it really gets crowded. We were lucky as we were seated in 15 mins. Very nice and trendy, great selection of food and wine coupled with excellent service. And yes , this is a steak place so get into it. The Lamb Rack was great too. Will visit when in the South Beach Area.

    Find another place when you want red meat. Overpriced and not worth it. I'm sure some people like this place, but we had an awful evening there. It resembles nothing more than a cheap shot at Smith and Wollensky which is 2 minutes away. The valet parking started us off, we pulled up on a Harley and put it into a space between 2 cars on the street, and they ran over and tried to make us pay 10 bucks to "watch" it and said it wouldn't be safe if we didn't pay them. My husband had to threaten them and tell them we lived only a couple blocks away and that he knew the scam and if it was damaged he'd handle them differently for it. The portions here are big, but the meat is tasteless. Its like it has no personality, no real flavor, you're looking for even a bottle of ketchup to wake it up. Oh, and we learned the hard way, that anything marked Kobe beef, may or may not be Kobe. I think the management may get it from a company that is partially owned by Kobe Bryant to be able to stamp the name on it. We read up on it at home after, and it seems they've had problems with it in the past- allegations of false Kobe being sold. The crowd in there seemed too enthralled to be dining out than to have a sense of what they were actually ingesting. Like beginners night in an expensive restaurant. Sorry, maybe thats harsh, but its what we felt like.

    You should go here - I won't write too long a review, just some main points. - Awesome atmosphere and ambiance - Tremendous service - Lengthy Cocktail/Liquor/Wine List - Much to other reviewers dismay - we had a reservation and waited maybe 20 minutes to sit down - Food was perfect Having had marvelous steaks the night before at Bourbon Steak, we decided to opt for other items on the menu: Appetizer: Crab Cake ($22) - Best I've ever had Entree: Her - Scallop Appetizer ($28) - HUGE order, served with beef short rib atop garlic mashed potatos. Entree: Me: Rack of Lamb ($47) - A little overcooked but that might be my fault for not stressing the rare in medium rare. Sides: Lobster Truffle Mac & Cheese ($25) (everyone recommends this) I COULD EAT THIS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE Sides: Roasted Brussel Sprouts w/ Bacon ($15) - Great (HUGE) order Dessert: Fried Oreos ($15)- you get 5 of these and they are the greatest ever - pretty sure the ice cream it came with could be bought at a super market but who really cares right. I absolutely loved Prime 112, will certainly be going back. Pricey but well worth it. Also, how can you not love a place that serves fresh, thick, maple bacon at the bar. Cmon, bacon ... at the bar ... with alcohol.

    Prime 112 is a super snazzy place with super snazzy clientele. I didn't quite feel like I was up to their standard, but the food was pretty good! This place is decorated beautifully. We didn't sit inside so I didn't get to see everything, but what I could see was beautiful. The hostesses there are even gorgeous! I think they are working there to wait to meet their future basketball player husbands...I swear they are all models. Anyway, back to the food. I came here for a specific reason, to try chicken and waffles. I have always wanted to try them but we don't have anywhere to get them in Detroit (at least not that I know of). My boyfriend had this dish at Prime before and raved about it, so I knew this would be a good place to try it. I do have to say that this place is not cheap! Oh, and make a reservation otherwise you will wait a long time. To start we began with a special they had, which was Hawaiian big eye tuna poke with avocado. The tuna was super fresh, and almost purple in color. I have to say that it wasn't the best raw tuna dish I've had, but it was good. I think the pieces of tuna were too large for my taste, although the flavor was good. I also got the blood orange caprihina to drink, which did not look or taste like blood orange at all (it was green!). I thought it was a little too strong, so I asked the server to bring it back and add a little more citrus and then it tasted much better. I wouldn't order it again, but I am the kinda girl that likes a well balanced drink, not the stiffest drink possible. So, now to the chicken and waffles. It was HUGE, and I mean huge! I think the chicken breast was larger than my head. They pound out the boneless breast, so it is thinner which I liked but wow was it big. The waffle was everything you would want from a waffle and paired really well with the chicken and maple syrup. They also served it with hot sauce which I did not use. I think that stuff is disgusting personally...I really liked the dish but I am not sure it was worth the $30 it costed. Honestly, it was a fried chicken breast and a waffle...I think the maple syrup they serve with it probably cost more! I guess that is what you get at places like this though. We also split the garlic mashed potatoes which were delicious. I wouldn't say they are any better than any garlic mash I've ordered at restaurants but they are good. I have to say that the service was great. Our server was attentive, but also left us alone which I love. I think I would come back here again, just to eat inside and see what it feels like (and come during happy hour for the bacon). They have a great menu with steaks and american comfort food classics. Just be prepared for the hefty bill!

    Had reservations there a week ago for a dinner with a friend, we had reservations for 7:30p and arrived on time. It was pouring rain so when we got there was told theirs a wait but they would text us when our table was ready. We went to wait at the bar that was hard to make our way to but we found a spot. We waited for over 3 hours for our table and we never received the text message. We left and went to Joe's Stone Crab that was equally as busy but were seated and had a great dinner. Find it hard to want to try again. Very disappointed to say the least.

    Came here last night and had a great meal. I ordered the bone in rib eye with a side of parmesan crusted scallop potatoes. Everything was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and the potatoes were cheesy and warm with a crispy topping. The server was really nice and came by periodically to check on us (caught us with a mouth full of meat on a couple of occasions "thats what she said"). The only complaint I have is that we were seated some time after our reservation. We made it for 9:30 and were not seated for a little over an hour after that.

    Waiter was terrible, had a reservation and that's just to guarantee that you can wait for a table. Had to walk outside around the corner to enter the other part of the restaurant. Table was between the bathroom and kitchen, noisy and not in the good way. Bus boy spilt water on me and was like "its only water", and the waiter pushed his balls up against me while he was placing plates on. Really?????!!!!! I expect better service from such a "high-end" restaurant. Oh and they forgot the candle on the cake we ordered.

  • Joseph S.

    First: steak was awesome. I had the NY Strip and wife had the filet. Sides were just ok, but massive portions. I'd cut down the size and improve the quality/taste. Cost is close to absurd, but the steak was worth it. Ambience is very cool and waiters are attentive - but food comes out SLOOOW.

  • Lauren B.

    Anyone who gives their steak a bad review really has never had good aged meat. I've eaten here many times and each time the meat is better than the next. I've shared their ribeye. I've had their prime rib and I've had their filet. Arguably, this is the best steak I've had on the east coast and I live close to nyc where there are an abundance of well known steakhouses that don't compare. Their sides are inventive and not your typical steakhouse sides. They have those too if you want them. I love their creamed corn with black truffles, their sweet potato wedges, cauliflower gratin, Mac and cheese, spinach with shallots, Brussel sprouts. Starting your meal with cheese biscuits and an incredible bread basket should prove to you haters that their food is outstanding. I highly recommend their chopped salad as well. The fried Oreos are good but I prefer their key lime pie and apple crumb dessert. I've never had rude service. I prefer sitting outside because it's quieter. The staff has always been accommodating. I've had one overcooked steak in the past and was given a brand new one and the manager made sure we were content with the meat temperature before he would leave us. That's good customer service. This is my go to steakhouse when I visit south Florida a few times a year. People complaining about the prices are crazy too. The sides, salads and appetizers can easily feed four people. I've seen crab claws the size of your arm. Get over the negativity. Prime112 exceeds my foodie expectations. I can't say enough good things about the food quality and I will continue to frequent it when I come to visit

    Hey, you know something? The beauty of Yelp is that you can read such different reviews! Prime 112 is what it is! A fancy place in South Beach to see and to be seen where they charge you 40 bucks to park your car in front of the place. Other than, the Sunday evening prime rib is excellent and service is attentious. They will see us back.

  • Tiffany D.

    I highly recommend this to be one of your places to eat in Miami. Now because Yelp doesn't give me the option to click the "$," I will warn you, this place is very expensive. Me and a party of 9 celebrated my best friend's bachelorette and we chose Prime 112 as a place to dine for the last end of our trip. This was great place just to get together and talk over amazing food! I ordered the Miso Glazed Chillean Seabass and it just melted in my mouth. I wish I had a chance to eat steak, but from the look of everyone else's face, the feeling was mutual. Other than the food, the service was great and consistent. Next time I'm in Miami, I plan to come back, can't wait!

  • Mr. Pleco S.

    Wanted to try the "Best" steakhouse in Miami and both of us were very disappointed with the Steaks which really were lacking in taste, surprisingly. Also we feel that the charring actually imparted an unsavory taste as well. The staff was very good and the restaurant itself was nice, but very cramped. Also should mention that the tomato, onion, and Bleu cheese appetizer (which comprised of less then half an onion and tomato) was $18!! I'm not a frugal person, but this was ridiculous. Strongly recommend finding another steakhouse to ensure an excellent experience!

    I am drooooling just remembering when I came here. I had been dying to try Prime for a while & of course for our Anni. my boo surprised me by bringing me. Since I'd obsessed and memorized the menu long before had I knew exactly what I wanted to try lol ! The porterhouse for two was perfectly cooked & the béarnaise sauce was it's match made in heaven. I wish we had a dog, I would've brought that little punk the juiciest bones he'll ever have in his life lol ! The boo & I also had the garlic mashed potatoes to share & the sliders. But the real star of the night was the fried Oreos. Enough said !

    What a great meal. One of the best steakhouses I've even at. Had an outside table, halfway through our meal the rain came and the quickly transferred us inside. The atmosphere inside is popping (a little loud at times), so hard to have a conversation. But cool vibe and totally worth the meal.

    When we have guests in town, Prime One Twelve is one of the best places to take them or to recommend. It's a consistently great meal with first class steaks, side dishes and desserts. You must make a reservation. If you don't have a reservation, stop in for a drink at the bar and sample their Bacon which is served in jars like pretzels. The bar is usually packed but if you wait, it will usually clear.

    Everything they say it is and then some! Bone in Rib-eye to lust over. Attentive and humble staff, top notch cut selections. The drinks were on point. I can go on and on but I have not a sad thing to tell and it's making me hungry. And you must have the Bacon at the bar. (Bacon must always be capitalized. Holds a special place in my heart.) Just go and don't look back. I hear the fried oreo's and the beef tartare are worth a visit. I'll sacrifice myself.

    My honey took me here for my birthday dinner last month as we were celebrating in South Beach from California. We had reservations and only had to walk across the street from our hotel at Bentley Beach were seated promptly. I ordered the meatballs and they were so good!!! The servers were very friendly and knowledgeable.

    My boyfriend and I frequent high-end steakhouses when we travel and were looking forward to this restaurant based on the menu. When we were seated outside, I noticed the chairs were plastic, very unsturdy chairs. The waiters seemed rushed. My boyfriend had the bone-in ribeye which was average at best. The steak wasn't juicy but the portion size was good. My bone-in filet was more medium, when I had ordered medium rare. Fortunately all of the sides were good. The waiter never stopped by the table to ask how everything tasted. We expected much better steak quality for the high prices we paid. I'd recommend skipping this place and dining at Joe's Crab Shack or Smith and Wollensky.

    Horrible service. Manager doesn't help at all. Worst experience of my life. Never have been treated so rudely in my life. Ruined our evening. We had a reservation and had to wait for 1.5 hrs and manager had no apathy at all. I would not wish this upon my worst enemy - mediocre food, poor service, subpar ambience.

    Great food and Dan was a great server. The only issue was we had reservations and then had to wait 30 minutes for our inside table...or could seat outside right at our res time. It was very cold and left it a little uncomfortable.

    Just ok. Overpriced.

    Everyone should be aware that while the food is good and wait staff was awesome, BE PREPARED to understand that your reservation means nothing. We waited 90 minutes past our reservation, which is unacceptable for any place. Had the desk told us when we checked in that they were running behind and set the expectation it would of been our decision to stay. Unfortunately we were kept being told 15 minutes and 15 minutes. Needless to say by the time we were seated our dinner was tainted. By the way no apology or anything. Now for the food, it was good, the fried Oreos for dessert were amazing. The steak was good, however there are many other steak places that I can give my money too and I will. We will not be back. Someone told me to try BLT, better food and they respect there patrons more.

    I'm being generous with the three stars - this place is highly overrated. We frequent high-end restaurants in Manhattan and are used to waiting, even with reservations, but this place is a joke. Dined here on a Saturday night, after checking in for our 9:30 reservation, we were asked to wait at the bar, which is fine. After about 45 minutes started noticing that practically everyone surrounding us at the bar and front lobby was complaining about the long wait (most were already waiting for over an hour). Everyone was complaining at the front desk. We were finally seated, ordered quickly, waitress was very good and can't really blame her for this, but our food didn't come out for an HOUR after ordering. We filled up on bread, the food was soaked in butter - ordered bone-in filet, truffle mac and cheese, truffle fries, oysters and creamed spinach (on waitress's recommendation). Overall, we ordered way too much HEAVY food (in the sense that it was ALL DRENCHED IN BUTTER), so we left feeling overly full, kinda sick and ready for a nap. Steak was good but nnot great as it wasn't eve cooked to our liking (we ordered medium and it came out medium rare) - we were just so annoyed at that point, that we didn't even want to bother sending it back as that would mean spending more time waiting - we just wanted to leave! Avoid the hype and go elsewhere for an actual great steak.

    Was in Miami this weekend and had dinner and LOVED it. Get the chopped salad...it's huge and amazing! Truffle Mac and Cheese YUM...steak cooked perfectly. I really liked it. I'm a Maestro's guy. Good restaurant. Dirty martini was done perfectly. Fried Oreos were the perfect ending.

  • Jennifer D.

    I rated this restaurant as a 2 star because it is poorly run. It is overcrowded,, LOUD and overbooked and the service is less than superb for what is actually a good restaurant. Everything we ordered was delicious and cooked to perfection but we were so angry at having to wait an hour and 10 mins to be seated when we had a reservation, it was impossible to enjoy it. There is NO EXCUSE for this at a top notch restaurant.

    Food is extremely overpriced. Ambiance completely lacking - felt like I was at TGI Fridays. Waiter couldn't have cared less about our dining experience. Could definitely think of a few better ways to spend $500.

    Best birthday dinner I've ever had in my life. Below is what I've ordered. I recommend make reservation and order the below, if not more. Absolutely amazing and completely worth it! The waiter/service was exceptional, as well. - NY Strip Steak w/Peppercorn sause - Creamy Corn - Mac and Cheese - Shrimp Cocktail Appetizer (jumbo sized) What I would like to make a note of is that we were actually in the hotel restaurant, Prime Lounge and not Prime 112, next door. Apparently, my BF made resos 3 weeks before we came and they mixed it up with Prime Italian or something like that. Prime 112 is actually a zoo and they the management should never let so many people a.) wait to be seated and b.) allow them to wait inside in the masses. It's not a way of handling things in a classy and well respected manner. Also the noise level was off the charts due to the massive amount of people wanting a seat - Though most of them would not be seated at all, or if they would be - it wouldn't be for a while. Anyway, my experience was amazing, but I could see various ways in which it could have not been. I think there is room for improvement when it comes to management/reservations. As for the food - Super recommend it, but also recommend making reservations. You're not gonna be able to just come here and get a table.

    Best Steak Ever. Best Steakhouse experience ever. Relax, have a drink and order a rib-eye. Wow... Prepare to be amazed. people who are telling you about the wait, bar, and other things, are dead wrong. This place is amazing. If I could afford it, I would eat here ALL THE TIME. Cheers!

    My review is like most you will read below - the reservation game is awful! I made a reservation over two weeks ago - showed up promptly at 9p only to be met with a line of people out the door waiting to check in! Some for 8:30 reservations! I cut the line and crushed my way to the hostess stand only to hear stories like "... I've been waiting since 8..." Or my favorite, "I've been here since 7:30 how much longer could it be..." And then to be told "just a little while longer". What??!! I made some assertive attempts at getting my voice heard only to be drown out by many other voices. Fights almost ensued as nobody knew we all had like stories. I left really pissed off and fed up - went up the road to The Local House which was fine - certainly not what I had planned for the evening but, fine food, nice atmosphere and very attentive waiter. You all have got to let Prime 112 go - stop enabling them to treat potential patrons with such disrespect.

  • Steffany H.

    As far as the food goes, this spot was AMAZING. As far as the service, I damn near want my money back! Maybe it was our fault for hoping they could accommodate our party of 10. Although we had a reservation, there was SO much chaos it took a few minutes just to get in the door, and another 30 minutes of waiting even though we arrived on time. UGH this bugs me - why did I take the time to make a reservation?! Not only did we wait 30 minutes for our table, we were literally seated in a make shift table right behind the hostess stand. The table was crowded with people standing around the table (awkward) and our waiter had a hard time bring our food and drinks through the crowd. Everyone had a great time, enjoyed dinner but overall, the management team needs a better system there and they need to find another way to accommodate large parties, or just not accept large reservations.

  • Lauren H.

    I love this place. Nice ambiance, good service and GREAT food! I went here last year for my fiance's 30th bday and was very much impressed. The food: -Appetizers- Kobe beef sliders- These were ok. Nothing to write home about. Ceviche-delicious. -Entrees- Bone-in ribeye- This was so good. The meat was tender, juicy and very flavorful. King crab leg- This thing was huge! I couldn't even finish it. -Sides- Roasted garlic mash- Your standard garlic mashed potatoes. Creamed Corn w/ Black Truffles- I don't even like creamed corn but I was won over by this dish. Truffled Lobster Mac n Cheese- OMG. Succulent pieces of lobster mixed in with cheesy goodness with hints of truffle oil. This is to die for. -Dessert- Fried Oreos w/ vanilla ice cream-I'm still craving these things till this day! I will definitely be coming back here the next time I'm in Miami.

    What is not to love! This place was the highlight of a blah visit to Miami! I went on a Sunday, and lucked out by avoiding a hectic Friday or Saturday night crowd. The atmosphere was nice. I sat at the bar, and met the best bartender ever. She was a kindred spirit! She also made a killer bellini! A cool waiter came and suggested I get the bone in filet, and I'm glad I took his advice! It was nothing short of perfect! I ordered the parm scalloped potatoes. Yummmm! You get a huge portion of everything. Even the martini glass was pretty large. The money spent was well worth it. If I come back to Miami is Prime will be one of my go to places!

  • Javid F.

    Went to Prime 112 twice - my first and last time. I was ready to leave after waiting 45 minutes past our reservation but didn't want to make a scene among friends. I don't care if I'm sitting next to Bill Clinton - it's incredibly unprofessional and does not create a buzz when you make people wait that long with a reservation. The food - lobster mac and asparagus were fine, nothing to die for. wedge salad had nice chuncks of pancetta and a picante blue dress, steaks are unimpressive. It's obvious they char their steaks ahead of time and bring them up to temp per order. This does not allow the fat in a rib eye enough temp to melt. Resulted in chewy fat. Overall seems like it's run by amateurs for what's being called a premier steakhouse.

    If you are looking to impress you came to the right place.. This place is one of the best steakhouse in America. It exudes class the minute you step out of your car and let me say, that if you are not driving a $100k car do yourself a favor take a taxi. I started with the seafood tower...lobster, crab, oysters, tuna tartar(amazing). The bone in filet is unbelievable, cooked perfect and full of flavor, broccoli, scalloped potatoes & creamed spinach all great! . The wine list is very extensive and expensive. If you can fit the desert they all looked very good. This is the place to be and be seen....don't be surprised if you spot a celebrity or two. If you like to people watch, this place has beautiful people...runway models everywhere. Just a hint bring your wallet and if you have a second wallet bring it as well, you will need it. ENJOY!...you only live once.

    Plan on waiting long after your reservation. Made a 10pm res on saturday night. Was seated at 12:30am. However, it was worth the wait. Ordered a $500 off the menu seafood tower that could have fed our group of five, but we still ordered steaks all around. One oft the best veal chops I've ever had.

    Good food mediocre service. Requested main dinning room but wasin sat south wing of the restaurant. nice decor but a little tight tables a little to close to eachother. Me and my wife ordered the Sea bass. Good portion, Cooked perfectly. one of our friend order never arrived. It was taken off the bill and given to her at no charge. Good cheese bread. I will go back.

  • Jeremy S.

    I can't recommend this place. Okay I'm a food snob from San Francisco, so I'm more about the food then about the scene. I had three major problems with this restaurant: 1. Super loud I'm not talking about loud, I'm talking about super loud. I could barely talk to my brother who was 2 feet away. 2. Packed in seating Tables are almost on top of each other and it felt like we were dining with another couple. Also my chair was near the path to the kitchen which meant every couple minutes I'd get bumped by someone, super stressful and impossible for me to enjoy my food. 3. Rushed service I guess it's all about the table turns. Our waiter blazed in and blazed out. The pinot noir he recommended was watery and we felt like he was pushing our meal along the whole way through. Alright Jeremy, but what about the food? Not bad, but everything was supersized and extremely rich. The fois gras was the largest serving I've seen, but was tasty and went well with the pineapple puree. My rib eye was equally gargantuan and was properly cooked. Had the ambiance and service been better (or even normal) I'd have given it four stars, but as the saying goes... too much sizzle, not enough steak.

    Amazing place!!! Always packed reservations are a MUST... I always eat at their bar though. Bacon in water goblets are the 'bar animals' at this place! They are known for their steak and huge sides to share. The s'mores dessert is the best! Bartenders are great and fun. It's a very 'showy' valet area too... Always see a RR Phantom or two during the night. Been there weekly in the month long, fun stay in South Beach.

    I shall preface this that I ate here on big pharma money so it may be a big skewed....but this place is mia chic to the fullest....packed sexy pretentious people watching. bone in filet steak, vino, oysters, tuna, lobster bisque was just A ok, perhaps its bc I believe lobster is overrated, but have had better. sides galllore, I couldnt even bring myself to order dessert even to go....we had a nice big table and service was impeccable but it was packed as shit for a thurs night, people were yelling at the hostess and pissed. yikes. waiter told me it was the highest grossing restaurant in the country for its size...i believe it

    Great night with good friends, lots of laughs, amazing food and a delish watermelon martini. The gals ordered some oysters as an appetizer. I stuck to the amazing biscuit that had cheese cooked into the top. I know I wasn't the only one devastated when our server took away the basked to make room for our entrees. Since I'm a seafood-aphobe, I went with the 8 oz. filet (amazing!) with the bacon and cheddar chapeaux, with a side of the five cheese truffle mac. I am a sucker for Mac-N-Cheese and will try it just about anywhere it's served. Other sides at the table were steamed broccoli w/cheddar fondue, roasted garlic mash, and one other that escapes me at the moment. The sides we ordered were large enough for us to all share and taste each others. After finishing up with our dinner, we decided to check out the dessert menu. Since we were sharing, we ordered: Peanut Butter Snickers Pie, Donuts with chocolate and strawberry dipping sauces, and the Fried Oreo's. I think the group favorite was the oreo's. The donughts were good, but weren't as unique as the others.

  • Manny K.

    Let me start by saying this is a great steakhouse. The steaks are excellent and cooked to perfection, thinly chard and nice even pink throughout - really enjoyed the 12oz filet. The salads are family style and very fresh and tasty, really enjoyed the caesar salad with anchovies. I was a little disappointed with the side accompaniments as they did not live up to the caliber of the steaks and salads. Specifically the lobster mac and cheese and the scalloped potatoes - good but not great. We shared a number of desserts with the table and would highly recommend the key lime pie - tart and sitting on an excellent graeme crust. The doughnuts were also very good, but the creme brûlée was disappointing and it lacked a firm consistency - too mushy. Service was very good - both helpful and attentive. It is a very happening place but did feel a bit on the cramped side.

    Easily one of the best restaurants I have been to. Complimentary bacon at the bar, large portions, and fried oreos. Need I say more?? Celebrity sightings, wonderfully innovative food, and a fantastic ambiance. Pricey but worth it. Do yourself a favor and check it out, you will not be sorry!

  • Nela D.

    Disappointing. Waited 1 hour for our 7 pm reservation ( bartender admitted that they always overbook). That would not ave ma de me give them a poor rating, it was the steak! Bone-in sirloin for 2 was not good, small portion (my husband could've eaten the whole thing) and nothing to rave about. Certainly not worth $70+! Waiter was also inattentive, forgot our drinks and more interested in the celeb at the bar. I'd give it another try but was sadly disappointed.

    I am going to make this review short and sweet. While I have dined at many steakhouses (I'm a huge red meat lover), I believe Prime 112 is my favorite thus far. Yes, it does get crazy crowded especially if you go on a Friday or Saturday and you will probably end up waiting even if you arrive on the time of your reservation but the food is well worth the wait. They have an extensive wine list and yummy cocktails too! I love all their food, from their amazing apps like the truffle provolone cheese fondue (I could bathe in that cheesy goodness) to the Mmmmm I could eat a steak here every day if it wouldn't put a damper on my bank account or my booty. Big portions and you will be stuffed after your meal but do not skip out on dessert, it is a must.

    It's difficult to review this place because of all the hype. So you begin to question if the hype let you down or if indeed my personal dining experience. I have to say, i need to re-visit to clearly determine. The place is great in it's own right. Great menu, a distinct selection of prime cuts of beef, including a numerous selection of Kobe cuts. Additionally, the menu is loaded w/ a wonderful appetizers and sides. (The broccoli and parm stuffed beefsteak tomatoes are to die for!) My g/f ordered the f/mignon 8oz which was delectable, tender, and buttery smooth. I went out on a limb and being the urger freak that I am, I ordered the 1Lb. Kobe steak burger, medium. It was HUGE! I felt like the guy from Man Vs. Food (Adam) from the Travel channel. however, to my disappointment, it really wasn't all that great. The patty was not tender, not much flavor to it, and quite frankly, the second half of the burger (Yes, I only ate half of it) after warming up in my oven, tasted slightly better w/ ketchup/mayo. All in all, I will be going back. Definitely not for the KOBE burger but to try the steaks, which is what I should of done the 1st time. I'll keep you folks posted on part II.

    Born and raised in Miami, I have been eating here for years with good reason: food and service were excellent. Nowadays, though the food is still delicious, you can count on being seated at least 45 minutes past your reservation. When I get a craving for the filet and truffle mac and cheese there is nothing that can stop me-even the wait.

  • Linda B.

    If in Miami, Prime One Twelve is a MUST to visit. The food menu is diverse, you have seafood, meat, truffle mac and cheese with lobtser, and amazing salads and desserts (fried oreos). The atmosphere is very cool- totally Miami, but DO MAKE RESERVATIONS.

    This was my first time eating at this fine establishment while on vacation with my husband and 3 other couples. And fine is just an understatement!! The food was absolutely incredible. Everything was well prepared, flavorful and just melted in your mouth. At the suggestion of our waiter, Kyle we ordered their famous Kobe meatballs appetizer. They were tender and delicious. It was a great choice to start. After that, we all ordered a variety of Steaks and Seabass. Everyone at the table was truly satisfied with their entrees and their wine selections. The side plates are set up for family style dining and was plenty for us to all share. Needless to say, we were too stuffed for dessert. The overall dining experience was outstanding and the white linen service and ambiance was very upscale. Kyle was an excellent waiter and extremely knowledgeable about the menu, the way the food is prepared and just the overall dining experience. We can't wait to go back!!!

The staffs were so amazing. I had brussel spouts and Sea Bass, and they were sooo delicious! I wish I could take some of them home b/c the portion could definitely feed two people. Oh, did I mention there is free flowing bacon slices at the bar?? Amazeballs!!!

    Great food! We loved the atmosphere. Chris, our waiter, was top notch. He knew everything about the menu, made us feel right at home, and was incredible anticipating our every need. Expensive but worth it! The Tuna Poke was amazing! Sweet Potato Mash with vanilla bean was to die for. Kobe beef sliders ("with cheese" as Chris insists) were so good I only got a bite before my son "pounded down the other 3. A must when in Miami!

    How can anyone rave about the food when one is treated like cattle. This restaurant is so poorly run one can hardly sit back and enjoy what is one of the highest priced menus in Miami. An 8 oz filet of beef with a luke warm roasted garlic bulb on a plate hardly get's one over the anger of having to wait over 2 HOURS!!!! on a holiday weekend, with a reservations. Too late to get in anywhere else and that is how the restaurant keeps people there. I am mortified that my house guest's, who were treating us, paid over $475.00 + tip (5 people).$20 bucks to valet. No wonder there were absolutely no local residents dining there. By the time we got to our table, next door, we were already spent and tired. Hungry when we arrived, the greasy Bacon in a glass as bar food was sitting heavily in our stomachs, it was just gross. Stars and Atheletes, please don't give them your business, you feed the flames. To all you mere mortals: DON'T GO...save yourselves, the food is not worth the extraordinary aggravation. The restaurant does not deserve to be in business, even by Miami standards.

    We wanted to go to a nice steak dinner in Miami. We sat outside on the patio. We had a tasty steak. It was very very crowded- you def need a reservation. They had Yummy cheddar biscuits! This is Danny Devito's place! They have bacon sticks at the bar which is sorta cool!

    Best restaurant in Miami? thats what i heard . reservation was at 11 PM but i showed up 30 min earlier, STILL I WAITED TILL 11:30 REALLY CROWDED. this is totally an upscale atmosphere and ranks the top of the restaurant list in Miami. Foodwas amazing. campaign ....one glass was $35 which i didnt know but ordered, when i was ordering the 2nd glass, she actually spoke to us saying 'is...it worth ..,it? you want to look at drink menu?' some people may take it very offended by thinking 'what? u dont think i can afford this?' but i thought the waitress was actually being thoughtful. As i expected, cocktails were pretty much the same price as other upscale hotel/lounge price (around $15 ) . Bar was super crowded and i saw some celebrities too. Housewife of Atlanta girl was there some hip hop producer was there too. I heard miami basketball team players also enjoy going there too. So many top ranked sports cars right in front as well Steak ,Filet mignon, WAS AMAZING. i got medium rare it was JUST RIGHT! Truffle fries AWESOME. wow! yum! except the fact that we waited 1 hr and it kinda raised the bill (bc 4 glasses of cocktails $15x4 = do the math) and $35 glass of campaign..haha but i enjoyed here. Great food indeed def i would go back

    Seat me on time. If not, let me know that UM football team alumini trump my 3 week reservation. God Bless the former Marine bartender for recoginizing a fellow serviceman in the crowd and helping me find a glass of wine for my wife. We waited 2 hours past our reservation time for food that was of lower quality that of a Ruth's Chris. Don't bother.

    If you like char-grilled steaks, then this is place for you. If you don't, like me, then do not go here. Every steak, no matter what cut you get, is charcoal on the outside, juicy on the inside. For me the charcoal on the outside ruins it, but I know others who love that flavor. If you do, then this is your restaurant. On the other hand, Prime One Twelve offers an array of sides that are so mouthwatering, you will want to try them all. Our table had the garlic mashed potatoes and mac and cheese, which were both delicious. We saw jaw dropping orders for onion rings and lobster tail go out to other tables. They all looked gorgeous. Most of my table ordered steaks and were disappointed by the charcoal-grill taste. One person ordered the salmon and said it was very good. So next time, I will be ordering fish. Be prepared. The restaurant is very loud and small. The tables are kind of bunched together. While the food was lacking, the highlight of our visit at this restaurant was our celebrity sighting - Chad Ochocinco. He was there to celebrate his daughter's brithday and he was nice enough to take a photo with us. So if you like char-grilled steaks, superb sides and want to see some celebrities in Miami, this is your place! (I hear it's a hot spot for celebs.) P.S. Bring the Bejamin's with you. This place is pricey.

    Disgraceful service. Kept us waiting hour and half for our table after we had reserved two weeks before. Waste of time. Many better places.

    We had a 7:30 PM reservation and were not seated until 9 PM. We were actually seated before others who had 6:30 PM reservations but this may only be because we were willing to eat at the adjacent "satellite" restaurant; they were not .willing to compromise. Whether the fact that we were actually seated at a different restaurant with a different kitchen accounts for the pedestrian , mediocre food we were served is unknowable since we were not willing to wait three hours to get the full Prime 112 experience . That the host and hostesses did not even apologize or make any accommodation for their unprofessional conduct suggests that waits of this length are not unusual ; the fact that this is standard operating procedure was confirmed by the staff. Perhaps the long waits for patrons with reservations is because the host was accepting $100 bills to seat people out of turn . It is a great mystery how a restaurant of this caliber could still be in business, much less busy enough to treat their patrons in this manner. Too bad this restaurant is not in a more discerning market as it would soon disappear. Do not bother.

    I wish I could give this 4 1/2... I ate there tonight and the food was great - obscenely large portions. The service was quick - almost too quick though... it was like, bam, here's the next plate, and bam, they're taking the plate away. Granted... they did have a huge line - but if I'm going to drop that amount of money, I shouldn't feel rushed. Additionally - I wish people would take a look at dress codes. The dress code clearly states dressy. I was sitting next to people in jeans. Seriously? But I definitely recommend the truffle mac and cheese and the truffle fries. Oh.. and the giant smore. Definitely the giant smore.

    What...the...Best meal my husband and I have ever had! The bad reviews should be ignored. Yes, it is pricey, but it is not as though you don't know that going in. What would be disappointing was if it was pricey and you got small portions/poor food, but that is NOT the case. It is pricey because you get huge portions and the food quality is out of this world. Our server, Jonathan, was fantastic. He had a passion for the food and was very helpful. He made sure we didn't over order and made the best suggestions! The portions are family style so my husband and I split everything. We started with tuna tartar which was on special and was a bigeye tuna from Hawaii. Jonathan said it was going to change our lives and it did. The tuna was so fresh and melted in your mouth. The accompanying sauce had just enough kick. We both agreed it will be hard to go back and eat regular sushi again. We then had the scallop and short rib appetizers. Ahhhh this was seared to perfection and the short rib fell apart. The mashed potatoes were heavenly. Next, was the lobster bisque. It seemed there was a whole lobster in the soup! Typically when we've had lobster bisque at other upscale restaurants they throw in one measly piece if lobster. Not here! Delicious with the cheddar biscuit! Then came the bone-in ribeye and truffle Mac and cheese. We wanted to cry at this point. The meat was so flavorful and the Mac and cheese was gooey, salty, excellent. Go! Please! The food is the star. Jonathan is a beast at what he does. The atmosphere is comfortable, yet posh. Go!

    Made a 10:30 reservation. Showed up on time to a massive crowd and told we would have an hour wait. I made the reservation well in advance for a special occasion. Unacceptable for a high quality restaurant. I will never done here.

    Don't waste your time. Waaaay overrated and ridiculously long wait. Was not seated for a 7:45 reservation until 10. Hostess misled about wait time repeatedly. Bar crowded and hard to get a drink. Many more choices in S Beach.

    Be careful when you go in a big group.. The waitress tend to add more items in the menu... I spend 30 min trying to figure out the extras ... I ordered a side salad and never was informed that it could feed all of us the table of 12 !! .. Great atmosphere .

    Hypothetical: If you could have dinner with anyone (historical or fictional) who would it be? Where would it be? If Ghandi said "My iron is low, I need a NY Strip", then he would rocket up to 1st on my list and this is where we would go. Sans shirt and shoes most likely. If he's gonna do it, do it right. I've been several times and never left disappointed. Once I even "misspoke" and asked if they had room for 5. They led us upstairs into a small hotel room complete with plasma TV's, a dining area, a bedroom and a private bath. OK, it was disappointing to leave there. From start to finish the meals are excellent, beginning with the bacon served at the bar. Though I've never tasted the lobster bisque, I've been informed by someone with a severe shellfish allergy that it's to die for. Hence a fortifying spoonful of Benadryl before the first spoonful of soup. The steaks are well seasoned and cooked to your liking. And as for dessert, what's better than lying in bed with a glass of wine watching the Comedy Channel. Cozy up with Mahatma and you've got my kind of sit in.

    Fantastic steakhouse - great for catching a celebrity. This place lives up to the expectations - the steaks are great, the service is good, and located in a historic building on Ocean Drive, the setting is also really cool.

  • Marie A.

    Great food....even better atmosphere. Dined there two days ago and the people watching was great. Definitely a hot spot = crowded, loud, upscale looking and pricey. As others have written, this is a celeb haunt. Chris Bosh (Miami Heat) was there dining with a group of twenty when I was there. Food- Fried oreos - good in a State Fair way. Get 'em. Crab cake- huge and great quality meat! Great sauce on top. Lobster Mac- gooey cheese with huge lumps of lobster meat. Great. Drinks....pricey and strong. Parking- valet is great since this place is crowded and finding parking sucks in SOBE but there are meters a few blocks away.

  • Rich N.

    I went here a week ago during the lunch time. Here's some tips. Parking: Unless you're impressing someone, use the parking lot next to prime italian. The difference between two dollar parking and twenty dollar parking. The food: Pro's. The steak salad (not what I ordered) was just ok. Two in my party had the Kobe meatball sub. Tremendous reception. The seafood salad was passed around and it was also an overwhelming hit. The table shared two desserts and they were equally awe-inspiring. For pricey business lunches, this is top notch, the best on the Beach. Cons: It is expensive. Just because it says Kobe, does not mean it is Kobe. Real Kobe from Japan is available for 30 dollars per ounce, or so I am to understand, I did not try it and really didn't miss it in the meatball sub. But to be warned is to be aware.

    Definitely one of my favorite steakhouses in Miami. However I have always had a much better time with larger parties. When I have come with three people or less they rushed me out. I went their for Lena C's birthday last year and they brought out our entrees while we were eating our salads and put the check on the table before we asked for it. Guess they need to turnover those 2 tops. I would suggest asking for the new dining room because the main is hectic and frantic but if your a hipster you probably like that. The food is excellent. The oysters or seafood tower great starter. The shrimp are huge. Rib-eye is so flavorful get this medium rare.(never ordered anything else.) truffle mac is good overrated in my mind unless you love truffle oil. Potatoes yessss can't go wrong. In the rare occasion that you have some room leftover Can you say bananas foster cheese cake. Eat It!

  • George T.

    Surprisingly, the negative reviews in my review is actually the food. We felt that we received good service and didn't face any attitude. However, for the reputation this place holds, the food s mediocre and definitely does not match the pricing. The steaks were not the best cut and flavorless, though I usually like the charred flavor. I do suggest to get the Truffle Mac-n-Cheese and the bread pudding for desert. We also really enjoyed the tuna tar tar as an appetizer. Surprisingly, the proportion is very generous which then justifies the pricing at times. However, if you are only a party of 3 or less, that amount of food isn't necessary. They really should offer sizing in their side dishes. You do catch a few celebrities while eating here. Though Ron Jeremy is the last person I wan to sit next to when trying to enjoy my meal.

    When you pay this kind of money for food, shouldn't it be out of this world? That is what I was saying to myself and my girlfriend, who I took here for a 1 year anniversary. We started off with the cheese fondue which I believe was around $18. Not only was it not that good, The Melting Pot blows this out of the water. By the way, I'm not a Melting Pot fan. We both then ordered cocktails. Hers was very good (The Purple Drink) and the one I ordered (A pomegranate martini) was nothing special. It tasted more like an orange crush. Then came out my fillet. It was cooked correctly, medium rare, but was just OK. For the 40+ bucks I just spent, this should not be on par with an Outback steak. I also ordered a side of lobster Mac and Cheese which cost me $25. Once again, it was just OK, nothing I should have spent that amount of money on. Overall, this place left me feeling only one thing....... regret. I can't believe I spent $160 at this place and I wasted my 1 year dinner on it. All I can think about is how I want my money back. Thanks Prime 112, I know where NOT to go now. Can I PLEASE have my money back?

  • Angie R.

    Celebrated my birthday there last month. That tuna tartar still crosses my mind. We were a party of 6, so we had a bit of everything and it was all very very good - appetizers, mains and sides. That tuna, though, was special.

  • Jessica G.

    Steak and I have a love affair, but don't let my Vegetarian friends know... I love the food here and have no problem dropping money on good food, but one complaint is the insanely expensive wine list. I drink a lot of wine, and not in a snobby way but in a "it warms my soul" kinda way. Anyway, we're in Miami here so they can tone down the wine prices and not charge 2x most steak places charge for wine. I'm done ranting and I'm sure I'll still go there but I would go like every week if I could be lured in with better wine prices... that is all.

  • Stacy S.

    This review is for everyone who has yet to dine at Prime 112. I was oscillating between three and four stars. I am going to go with four as it is a beautiful day out, and I am in a good mood. The following review was given by me, a native of South Florida, who has dined at Prime 112 since the first week it opened. *My review is not exactly how I am treated as I have been many times. I am stating what I see, and how the "average patron" is treated here. So, I am bitching on behalf of others as I am treated well here for the most part.* Your reservation: you will not be seated on time especially during season. Unless you have someone in your party who goes by the name of Jay Z, forget it. If it is a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night during season, and you are in a large party (6+) good luck-unless Duane Wade is dining with you. So please don't go during Art Basel with a party of 8, at 9pm, and whine about how crap the service was. You have been warned. The bar area: it is tiny and cramped. Since the expansion they do have more outside seating and a little more breathing room, but not much. They do provide bacon to eat while you wait there. But that is contingent on your actually getting up to the tiny bar to get a drink. The drinks are potent. They are typical expensive South Beach prices. I don't look at prices (my eyes will start bleeding) but I guess the drinks are $18 or so. There is nowhere really to wait. But just do your yoga chanting and try to block out the cramped spaces and high noise levels. The seating: is screwed up. The Browns hotel (the structure where the restaurant is located) was built over a hundred years ago. What that means it there are columns and structural issues which make it impossible to change the configuration of the dining room. So there are basically 4 tables in the entire restaurant which aren't cramped, or have people walking by with their behind in your face. But hey, maybe that is cool for some people. Service: it is always good. I have had experiences where the entrees have taken a long time to arrive, but it is what it is. I know when I go out in a party of 6 on Friday night, for example, it might take a while. The kitchen is only so big. The servers have always been professional and nice to me. I have probably been waited on by every waiter in the place. No one is rude or trying too hard to up sell (a la Mr. Chow). The wine list: great. If anyone comes here and complains of the wine list, tell them to run down to a Total Wine and buy whatever they fancy and bring it in. The list is pricy like everything here, but it is a good wine list. Obviously you are going to pay something like $200 for a Nickel and NIckel Cabernet (I am using that as an example as I don't remember if it is on their list). If that upsets you, you are going to run into that same issue at all the expensive places, especially on The Beach. Food: I usually am predictable and order the signature salad as everyone seems to love it. It's fresh and delicious. I recommend it. But it depends on what you are in the mood for, as the crab cocktail, lobster bisque, oysters, and shrimp cocktail are all delicious. Occasionally I will order the steak. When I do, it is the 8oz filet with the peppercorn sauce. I have to say, after so many times dining there, they only screwed up the temperature once and were quick to fix it. Most of the time, I order the grouper, or Salmon. Seabass is good, but I have a friend with a fish farming company and I know it is a scam, so I try not to order it too often Sometimes they have a fish special and I will select that, just to have something different. All the sides are great. I am not a sweet potato mash fan, but I am sure it is good for those of you who are. They could chill out on the Truffle oil for the french fries but they are good as are all the other potato sides. Usually I eat there late and try to have more vegetables (asparagus, spinach) than starch for a side. I eat one bite of dessert for every 10 times I dine here, but they are all great. I don't know how anyone has room after a huge meal, but kudos to you if you do. Hope this was helpful. Enjoy!

    This well known restaurant in Miami Beach did not disappoint. While we had to wait a little for our reservation, we hung out at the bar where bacon was served as the bar snack rather than nuts and it was really freaking good. We sat outside which was great because we could watch the array of exotic cars pull up to the valet and people watch. To give you an idea, the Miami Heat is known to dine here. The steak was great - sides were awesome - wine was good - service was perfect. With a bottle of wine, two entrees and a few sides, you can definitely expect to spend $250+ for two people. Come hungry because they give you A LOT of food.

    Ok I cant believe I forgot to write a review on this, I think it was before I was all about this Yelp thing! Anytime I go to Miami, this is where I need to go for dinner at least once. I went here for my girlfriends birthday a year or two ago and my god..AMAZING. You walk in and hte decour is decieving. A small white house is this modern steak place, wow! The staff was great and to me not your typical Miami snutty-ness. Made reservations and got the whole "have a drink while we check on your table routine." No problem, the seemingly large Kettle One Dirty Martini I had made the night start right. Got our table and the service was impecable. I mean spot on with suggestions to service to everything. The dinner overall was great and looking at the open kitchen while we enjoyed dinner was good. We did at one time or two feel a bit rushed but the food quelled that notion by all means. Food: we started with some salads (don't remember which ones) got some truffle mac and cheese with our filet's and they were cooked to perfection! Dessert was great too....man I wish I could remember what I had..GRRRRR. Anyway, if you are a food lover, decour lover, just want to try an amazing place and are in Miami, check this place out. I am due back for a Miami visit in the end of March this year (2011) I will be here one of those nights, come have a drink with me!

    Been to Prime 112 about 10-12 times over the past 3 years. One of the best Steaks you can get in the South Beach area. Very pricey but the food is top notch. If you like desserts you can not pass them up. The food is some of the best around, the service is just ok at best (but that is expected in Miami), prices are very high. But if you are looking to take a date out or some business partners and you don't mind paying a little more, then this is a place for you.

    Going here for dinner after 9PM is like trying to get into CAMEO at 1AM.... unless you know someone who works there you'll be waiting for over an hour to get a table and that's with a reservation. The food is pretty amazing though and well worth the wait but what's even better are the drinks!! Also a great place to spot celebs!! The first time I was there I saw Matt Damon and the next time Jamie Foxx. I know you're thinking to yourself that they're always around the beach but point is you're almost guaranteed to run into someone. PS. Don't bother to valet because there's plenty of meter parking on first st. and around the corner. Plus you'll want to walk after eating here because their portions are pretty big.

    Oh the scene! This restaurant lived up to all I heard and then some!!!... we had 9:45p dinner reservations, we were not seated until 10:30pm they say thats the norm. I must say that the wait was worth it as we were seated at one of the best seats in the house: in the middle of the place. Our waiter seemed annoyed he actually had to wait on tables -wtf ?!..? We ignored this, and enjoyed the meal and sitting back, watching the cast of celebrities walk into the restaurant like Romero Britto the artist and Haslem from the Miami heat. After a few more Miami Heat players rolled into the restaurant with pat Reilly The steak was outright delicious! a perfect medium with a nice kick! . The sides to die for ... What a nice great first fun experience at Prime One Twelve!

    This place is absolutely delicious and I cannot wait to return this summer! The decor is simple, classic and still chic. The steaks were incredible, as were the seafood and salads that half of us ordered. I'm sure it's one of the pricier restaurants in Miami but I think it's worth it.

  • Patty T.

    Holy Moly.. I think I just ended up in food heaven. This place is top notch. Where to start.... Porthouse maybe the most amazing piece of steak I have ever had, Hawaiian Big Eye Tuna Tartare with cassava crackers is to die for, I also can't eat it but heard the Lobster Bisque is out of this world, forget the salad and go right for the sides - Five Cheese Truffle "Mac" and Brussels Sprouts with pancetta sooo amazing..I can't really think of anything that could be bad there... Totally make sure you stop when you hit South Beach

  • Michelle C.

    Don't forget to stop by the bar for their specialty items, cockroach and bacon. Yes, there was a cockroach running up the wall behind me as I was waiting over an hour after my 9:30 reservation, having a glass of wine and enjoying the bacon they have at the bar. We notified the maitre'd, and he came over and swooped it up in a napkin and walked away. Things happen, but you can't apologize for that? It was nasty and made me not really want to eat my meal, after having waited for over an hour, and then the cockroach. Bleh. When we sat down we asked the waitor for some wine. He forgot to bring it over until we reminded him 20 minutes later. The filet was good, the desert was good. Nothing unbelievable though, or worth it for the price.

    I have heard about this location for years but never bothered because i am not much of a steak person but my friends convinced me to try for myself and found out that it was a lot more than that. The first problem we encountered was getting a walk in reservation on the day before New Years Eve which was practically impossible and they let us know that they were not taking walk in reservations. We ended up eating at the bar of the Prime Hotel which was the same food but just a stone throw away. We started off quickly with appetizers namely, Oysters (3 different varieties) then Crab Cakes and a Crunch Belly of Pork. They were cooked to perfection. We also had Asparagus tips Next came the infamous Tuna Tartare which was accompanied by some Crisps. It definitely was a taste bud pleaser and it was very fresh and you could taste several flavors in one bite. By Now we were justs being greedy and we ordered the Rib eye medium rare and it was ridiculously good.They had it sliced for us to make it easy on us being a shared plate. It was a great cut and even better tasting . We ordered Cocktails and the Bartenders Georgia ( I can only remember the girls name for obvious reasons) and the fella were very helpful polite and engaging at the same time that i didnt miss not having a waiter. The prices are high but thats kind of expected for a place like this. Whenever i have a hot fancy date or money to burn i definitely will indulge more often.

    Went on vacay in the Jammy a while back and stop by here. The place was real upscale. Lots of beautiful people. The waiters and waitresses actually WAIT on you. Like... they don't leave ya table unless you need something. I no longer drink but they had some of the best wine I've tasted. It seemed like my glass never got empty. Lol. I cant recall if we had reservations but they found us a table right away!! The food was to die for. I got the Maine Lobster, Garlic Mash, and Asparagus. I think... As you can see the wine was that good by the fact I vaguely remember the experience. Lmao! NOW!! Their Fried Oreos?? Oh my goodness!!! I've never had such a creative desert. With their ice cream that taste like its home made. This is enough alone to take a trip out to the MIA for a midnight snack.

    reading a few reviews everyone mentioned to make reservations.. well- i decided to go there last minute- called them on my way from the hotel & they mentioned they can seat us..we arrived 830pm.. & asked to sit inside but said those seats were Reserved...Yea- RIGHT..... anyway- we sat outside, it wasn't so bad but the inside was empty..(they were telling everyone the same..guess they wanted the place to look busy from outside in..i get it..) we ordered drinks- porterhouse for 2 (which wasn't cooked as we ordered it - this is where they lost a star) but it was still good..but dry :/ the lobster mac n cheese- is a MUST- so freaking good.. my husband & i usually go overboard with appetizers etc. but the portions are huge.. so when we ordered we decided on no potatoes or salads LOL I do wish now i got the ceviche :( but it's all good- until next time! Desserts: Ducle de Leche bread pudding & Fried Oreos- DROOL - we're going back there before the airport -to take out... our waiter was very nice too :) he brought us over some delish bacon - Thank you !!

  • Gary S.

    Update from last trip there 9/6/08 The bacon at the bar was not as crispy as last review and the 20 oz. kobe beef hot dog was too strong. I was remembering that dog way past midnight. The lobster mac and cheese was a big hit with my friends but I did not see it. It was still good and still the best steakhouse in SoBe wut I will be taking back a star. From 5 stars to 4. Sorry. Original Best steakhouse in South Beach! From the crispy bacon at the bar. (Thats right I said bacon!) to the 20 oz Kobe beef hot dog. Anyone can tell you about the great steaks but who will rave about free bacon at the bar? I went when the NFL teams were there for the last Miami Super Bowl and personally ate more then the NFL Players! This is a must go.

    Big $$$$$$ but i think its a wonderful restaurant. like Miami, Prime 112 is totally over the top from their cuts of meat to the amount of lobster they put in their "Lobster mac and cheese"... i recently stopped eating red meat but would def. go back just for their sea food, sides and overall experience. probably one of my favorite dining experiences in all of Miami.

    This is the place to be seen. I went on a friday night with my date and two other couples. It was super packed. While there, we saw A-Rod, Cameron Diaz, some basketball players, Gloria Estefan, and some designer I forget the name of. Every so often a member of our table would say "ooh! there goes X!" craziness. the crowd in here is very rich. lots of hot, young girls with sugardaddies. lots of impeccably dressed people. this place is def the place for the fab to feel fab and to be seen. my date pulled up in a ferrari, and definitely wasn't the only one. there were multiple lambos and other similarly fab vehicles lining the street in front of the restaurant. the food was good, not stellar. i remember the salads being the high point of the meal: delicious!. the steaks were just OK. i thought the steak was dry and salty...eh. the drinks were good. i remember being impressed but not blown away by the food. i recommend coming here at least once if you can get in! :)

    If this place could just get their reservation system down I would have given them 5 stars but it's such a complete cluster every time I go there it becomes a deterrent. I was here last Saturday night with a 9:30 reservation. We showed up on time and went to wait with the crush of humanity currently at the bar. I do like the bacon strips offered on the bar and my Manhattan was proper fishbowl size so I was happy. Finally at around 10:15 my friend went to the Hostess stand to check on our reservation and the Hostess said "oh, your table is ready" huh? so if we hadn't checked would you have given it to someone else? I'm thinking so. We sat down at a really awful table that was in the direct line of every waiter rushing past but we were only 2 and we were starving. We decided to split the Filet, the baked potato and the asparagus. The Filet was perfectly cooked the baked potato was appropriately boat like and the grilled asparagus was just right. Our waiter was very good with suggestions and was funny as well. We had a bottle of the Ridge Three Rivers Zinfandel which is one of my favs and complimented the meal nicely. Every time I go to Miami I have to stop in because I love this place...must be the masochist in me.

    I came here for my company Christmas dinner and it was amazing! Not to mention that while dining, the Miami Heat players walked in after JUST finishing a game not more than an hour earlier!!! It's a bit pricey, but it's worth every penny! Celebrities are spotted often and the view of Ocean Drive is spectacular! The Bacon at the bar, amazing! I had never seen that before! For appetizer I ordered the Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail that was delicious! We ordered the Porterhouse steak that serves 2 and it was butterfly cut, it was really really delicious and juicy!!!! As sides we had the Scalloped Parmesan Potatoes, the Serrano Ham and Manchego Cheese Gratin, Creamed Corn. All of which were really amazing!! From tasteful, to satisfying it just hit the right spot! The dessert was the best part! We ordered a few and shared. We were able to get a little taste of everything from the Tahitian Vanilla Creme Brulee, to the warm chocolate pudding cake and the warm Dulce de leche bread pudding!

    Down by the tip of South Beach, in a little old hotel is a gem of a steakhouse. You see great stuff about Prime 112 in all those "Where to eat..." deals and you wonder whether it's just PR or the real deal? Well, let me tell you, it's the real deal. First of all we have to address the most insidious bar snack in the history of bar snacks... strips of crispy warm bacon in a tall glass. I was tempted to take away a star for such an insidious offering. Do you ever fear going to a Mexican restaurant and loading up on the chips and salsa before your entree makes it to your table? This insidious crispy bacon snack raises that fear up another notch. I had to use every bit of will power to only eat two of those strips of bacon. Major points for creativity and audacity though. The wedge salad is crazy huge, but has a wonderfully balanced flavor. For my steak, I went back to bone in filet again accompanied by the truffle butter. The steak, was, charred just right on the outside, but still big, thick and oh so juicy. You could tell this was not a cheap cut of steak, high quality meat with an exceptional flavor. The truffle butter worked well with the steak too. I think I made a bad call on my starch. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the baked potato I got. I just happened to be envious when I saw some of the other sides. Oh well, next time, right? The dessert was a really fun experience. Think county fair food gone upscale. Deep fried oreos with vanilla ice cream. The oreos are battered in a beignet like batter and deep fried. Put a little dollop of ice cream on and bite in and I guarantee you'll smile. A very fun and inventive dish. Prime 112 is not going to be comparable in price to your Outback Steakhouses, you're going to pay for the privilege of eating here. However, unlike many other Miami Beach experiences, you'll feel like you got a meal worth the price you paid for it. It doesn't feel like the old "Miami Beach tax."

    Prime One Twelve is not only my favorite restaurant in Miami but it also happens to be my favorite restaurant period. Ive been here quite a few times so its going to be tough picking out my favorite dishes. There really isn't anything to dislike about the food or anything about this place at all. It is pretty much the default restaurant that my family chooses whenever we have something to celebrate. Even thought it is expensive, I can't think of a better indulgence than Prime One Twelve. Ambiance The minute you pull up to the valet you can't help but notice that you are about to experience something special. The sidewalk adjacent to the door looks like a car show featuring the most expensive cars you'll ever see. Seeing a Phantom or a Lamborghini parked outside is pretty commonplace. Inside, the dining room is always packed and full of people that look important. Money and plastic surgery are never scarce at this place. The bar is also a fun spot to hang out at. They make good drinks, have a great wine selection, a few select beers, and some delicious bacon strips in lieu of your standard bar nuts. The atmosphere alone of this place is ALMOST worth the price of admission, so to speak. Food The food at Prime One Twelve is amazing. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. With that being said, I'll just go ahead and mention the items that I feel are a "must try" when you dine here. For appetizer, the diver scallops and short ribs are spectacular. It's quite a large portion, as if pretty much everything else. Other highlights for me would include the humongous shrimp cocktail that come with the best cocktail sauce I've ever had. The fondue and lobster bisque are great as well. Every time I come here I get the steak. You can't go wrong with any one of them. Just go with whatever cut of meat you usually prefer and they will cook it to perfection. The last time I was there I had the bone-in filet which was amazing. I've also heard great things about the bone-in rib eye for two. The side dishes here are probably my favorite part. If you decide to come here, please do not leave without trying the five cheese truffle mac. It is simply my favorite side dish out of every restaurant I've ever been to. The combination of cheeses perfectly compliment each other, the crust on top gives it a great texture, and the truffle oil elegantly brings it all together. The sweet potato & vanilla bean mash is also great and so is the creamed corn. You really canny go wrong with whatever side you choose. And they are all large enough to share even though you probably won't want to. The desserts are amazing. My favorite is the dulce de leche bread pudding. It's huge, warm, delicious, and well worth every single calorie. The pudding is topped with vanilla ice cream and candied walnuts. It's a great way to end your meal. Other desserts that I've tried and loved are the fried oreo's and the chocolate pudding cake. I've been dying to have the cookies and milk as well but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Service The service here is always really good. They have plenty of tables but plenty of servers as well. The specials are always explained in detail and your requests are always met. I love how they perfectly time when each course is served. Most importantly, I never feel rushed to hurry up and eat. No matter how busy the restaurant is you always feel like you can just sit back and enjoy the experience. The only thing about this place is no matter what time your reservation is, you will probably have to wait a while. But when you're in a place like this and are about to experience one of the best meals you've ever eaten, whats the rush anyway? If you haven't eaten there yet...just go. I guarantee that you won't be disappointed. Unless you are someone that complains about everything and is never satisfied, I really can't imagine how anyone could ever have a bad experience here. I've been to a lot of places but Prime One Twelve is my favorite for a reason.

    My wife and I could not have had a better dining experience at the hottest restaurant in Miami than Prime 112. We were sat upon arriving for our reservation, outside without request. We literally had the best waitress on south beach. Everything she recommended was unbelievable and she was so excited that we took her recommendations and loved them. The food portions here are crazy and well worth the price. We started with the featured app and it was a meal on it's own. 3seared large scallops, sitting on garlic mash, next to a braised short rib, finished with a reduced Pinot noir sauce. WOW! Next up was the 32oz bone-in Ribeye with white truffle lobster Mac n cheese. The steak was cooked to perfection, pre-sliced for ease, with bone on the plate. The fat on this ribeye was to die for. I could have had this alone and been in heaven. The mac and cheese is about as rich and decadent as it gets. I felt like had lobster and truffle in every bite. It was the perfect consistency as well. Be ready to spend some money but every dollar is worth it. They have a nice wine selection though a bit overpriced. I have many bottles on the list and they were charging a bit more than I thought they should. It is a place to see and be seen and for that reason alone I didn't mind. Overall a great time and my favorite experience on south beach, regardless of price. Thanks Prime 112, we will be back next trip.

    Well, I wish I could write another glowing review for this Miami hotspot, however, my experience last week makes me wish I could leave ZERO stars. The only thing earning TWO stars was the food. Last year I waited over 90 minutes to be seated for my reservation, this year I didn't have to wait at all, but was pretty upset when the hostess led us to the Prime Hotel lobby instead of the main restaurant, which is a COMPLETELY different atmosphere. I asked why we weren't being seated in the main restaurant and the reply was that, we had a party of 5, they don't seat parties of 5 in the restaurant. OK, but they have tables for 2, 4, 6, and 8 in the main restaurant? They played terrible elevator jazz music the entire night. I asked TWICE for it to be changed. Once was rejected by the girl who "works for the hotel, not the restaurant." She suggested I ask my server, which I did twice... to no avail... While we sat there, 4 tables around us were sat and promptly got up and left, which we could have done, but didn't feel like trying to find another restaurant to go to with no res. Needless to say, they should warn you when you make a reservation that you may not be sat in the actual restaurant. This ambiance ruined the entire night. Ambiance is half the reason I go to restaurants, we have plenty of good steakhouses in Chicago. Second gripe. My wife tries to order garlic broccoli, not broccoli rabe, and the waiter replies that he can't do it. I reply that we were here last year and there was no problem ordering regular broccoli sauteed in garlic. He replies that Prime 112 cooks for 500 people a night and they don't take special orders. At this point I was livid and my friends were encouraging me to ask for a manager. I decide I don't want to talk to a manager since by this point the experience was ruined. I don't normally write negative reviews, but for the price point Prime 112 charges, they better clean up their act. In my eyes, it was a birthday dinner for myself that ended up being ruined by a terrible atmosphere and a rude server. The food was good, not great. Garlic mash was the highlight for me. The $52 filet was undercooked from how I ordered it and didn't have much flavor, but was tender and I dealt with it. My friend had the crab legs, which were excellent. The truffle mac n cheese was above average. The waiter was nice enough to bring out some mint chocolate cake for my birthday, which I did appreciate. I wish I could say I would be back next year for my annual trip, but I can't support a restaurant who charges 5 star prices and delivers 2 star attitude and atmosphere. If you have to seat people in a hotel lobby, make it the people who walk in without reservations or let the people know at the time of reservation there is a chance you may be sat NOT in the main restaurant. I equate this to making a reservation at the Ritz and having them take you across the street because they are overbooked, yet charging the same price... I hope other have a better experience, but based on the 4 tables that walked out while I was there, I can imagine others feel the same way. And if you ARE going to stick people over there, play some better music. PERIOD.

    Prime 112 is amazing. Although I'd still go to the Forge for the best Filet, Prime 112 had plenty to offer that the Forge does not, especially in the "Appetizers" category. Great vanilla bean Sweet Potatoes. Truffle Fries were awesome. The Kobe Sliders were PERFECT, I wish I got that flavor out of a bigger version of the sliders. The Filet was, great, but I've had better. It's very loud inside, and pretty tight.

    Ritzy South Beach steak and seafood joint, packed every night of the week with beautiful people eating beautiful food. Although I did not try the food, it did look delicious, with price tags to match. Drinks were no different. For example, a dirty Ketel One Martini with Blue Cheese Olives set me back $19, while an Absolut Vanilla & Soda was had for the bargain price of $12. A bottle of Corona was $8. Definitely not the cheapest option in town, but if price is not an issue, I would definitely tell you to check it out when in town. The bar is always packed and reservations are essential - even on a Tuesday night.

    This is a really great steakhouse and I will go back someday... We went on a Saturday night and it was extremely crowded, but the drinks were potent and the bar provided applewood smoked bacon in lieu of beer nuts/wasabi mix/etc. So from the start, our expectations were high. In our table of 3 couples, we ordered a couple of appetizers (ceviche and oysters), lots of sides (brussels sprouts, mac & cheese, creamed spinach, tater tots & hash browns), two porterhouses for two, and a veal chop (our 6th person managed to fill up on bread and bacon before we ordered). All of the meats and seafood were of excellent quality and were well-prepared. The porterhouses did run a little on the rare side, though two of us preferred them as such and the other two found no fault with the steaks coming out more medium-rare than medium. Although the food was excellent, the drinks were good, service was good and they gave us complimentary bacon, I still could not bring myself to give 5 stars. The reason for this (which is also the same reason why one person was already full by the time we ordered) is that even with a reservation, it took a VERY long time to be seated. Regardless of when you arrive for your reservation, you will have to wait. We were told that our wait would be 30-45 minutes and that was an accurate estimate. Other parties were told 20 minutes and waited longer. In spite of the wait, I will go back. Who can say no to free bacon?

    Too bad we were too drunk to enjoy the food. From what I remembered, the food was amazing. Service was great for our party of 6. This restaurant was extremely crowded and there was really no where comfortable to wait except at the bar, which was full, or outside. We did bring back most of the food and the next morning, we had a feast! Sorry, couldn't tell exactly what we ordered. I know there was a salmon, prime rib and that yummy mashed sweet potatoes and broccoli. Everything was still good the next day. Will definitely go back again next time.

    Was just here for the first time with my friends and it was AMAZING! #1 Loved the bacon at the bar, what a brilliant idea! #2 White Truffle French Fries were unbelievably delicious #3 While we had reservations, we had so much fun with other guests at the bar and bartenders we chose to eat at the bar. #4 My filet was absolute heaven I will absolutely be back!

    If only, there was a Prime 112 in Washington, DC or metro area O boiiii!!! I apologize for such a late review, given that I visit Prime 112 South Beach Nov 2009. One of my closest friends' planned a trip to Miami for her birthday. Although, I have never been to Miami before I was super excited! A co-worker (who visits every year, maybe even twice) recommended this restaurant. So since, she was so very passionate that I would love this place because of my passion for food; I made reservations (she suggests it would be best for my group size). When we first arrive on Sat 8:30, the place was full of people and very live; our table was not prepared, since we were early; I let the host know that I was there for a reservation under Moore for six. The host was very polite and told us that our table would be ready shortly and suggest we wait across the street (Prime 112 bar/lounge, I think). When I approached the Bar/Lounge across the street it was just as crowded with people but much more lively and the atmosphere was so Miami (if you know what I mean)! After having a round of shots & drinks (awesome) the host came and told us our table was ready. Since, I was with such a large group I was able to get glance of Prime 112 menu choices, and everything taste great and the presentation was beautiful. The choices, which were selected include: Pan Roasted Boneless Half Chicken w/Garlic Mash, French Beans & Natural Reduction Grilled Wild King Salmon w/ Whipped Caper Potatoes, Asparagus & Lemon Nage 8 oz. Filet Mignon Prime 112 Chopped Salad w/Romaine, Spinach, Hearts of Palm, Cucumber, Celery hearts, Grape Tomatoes, Asparagus, Smoked Bacon & Green Goddess Dressing Everything was well worth the 5-10 min wait. The food tasted smelled and looked beautiful; portion sizes were large and I would indeed recommend this place to any and everyone. This place service was awesome and had spectacular host/s to help make our experience one to remember. I agree with Mike, Prime 112 is not comparable to the places I visit while I was in Miami for a short visit and the price for everything was totally worth it! Now that is what you call quality food!

    I bought in to the hype...and being a steak lover I thought we could not leave Miami without trying this place. We eat at a lot of good steak restaurants near home, and this one was definitely comparable with a few surprises on the menu. They serve some wonderful sides and apps - LOVED the truffled caviar deviled eggs and the fresh creamed truffled corn - probably the best corn I've ever had. Not too creamy and rich, just right. My steak, (filet) was very good, I would not say it was better than our usual places, but it was certainly delicious, and I was happy. Atmosphere and service was very good too. Extra things were a little sketchy - for example, the restroom was out of toilet paper for a very long time....and there was only one toilet for a huge restaurant. Nothing nice in the restroom either - like you would expect in a swanky place. Hmm. nice towels perhaps? a little cleaner maybe? These details were really lacking in the place. Key lime pie was good, not very tart, my husband could handle it! Quite an interesting eclectic crowd to view as well....go and see for yourself, there were some good specials mentioned, but we didn't try them. I would return for lunch and try some of the other lighter dishes.

  • Russell T.

    Arrived for a 9pm reservation and was told it would be 30-45 minutes. What good was the reservation? Apparently this is part of the plan. They almost never seat you right away. As if $50 steaks weren't enough they want to get a pre-dinner drink out of you. Went somewhere else...

    I really want to give Prime 112 four or even five stars because I loved the food. But the poor service is hard to ignore. I went on a Tuesday night and it was jam-packed at 6:30pm. The hostess was disrespectful. My mother, who is on crutches, informed her that we our party had arrived and the hostess, making no effort to un-glue her eyes from her computer screen said "inside or outside?" referring to where we wanted to sit. When my mother, unable to hear to over the roar of the restaurant, did not immediately respond, the hostess shouted "INSIDE OR OUTSIDE?" Needless to say, my great expectations for "the best steakhouse in Miami" were quickly diminished. As a fan of second chances, I figured service would improve with our waiter. Wrong. He had little interest in being friendly/hospitable and basically rattled off a few of the things on the menu (that he was blatantly reading over my father's shoulder) as recommendations with no explanation of any dish. Moreover, I felt like I was on speed the entire meal because the service was SO fast. While many would see this as a plus, it was clear that we were being rushed. Luckily, we did not let it affect us and we proceeded to order not one, but two, rounds of coffee following dessert. Aside from the service, the food was very good. My major problem with steakhouses is their lack of unique appetizers and sides. However, the menu had a variety of both. One thing you must know and understand about Prime 112: THE PORTIONS ARE HUGE. As an avid herbivore who is constantly disappointed by the classic "house salad" composed of three leaves of iceberg lettuce and two pink tomato slices, I am always wary of ordering salads at steakhouses. However, even a family of rabbits would be satisfied with the salads at Prime 112. Sides are also very large. I do love and appreciated the fact that everything is served family-style. What I ate (our party order all of these things and so I tried a little bit of everything): To start: Solid bread basket- loved the pretzel-like salted, brown bread. Prime 112 Chopped Salad: Huge salad with a great proportion of veggies to salad greens. Great salad. Organic Field Greens Salad with Shaved Apples, Candied Walnuts, and Poppy Seed Vinaigrette- While I am a sucker for fruit-and-nut salads, this one was disappointing. This was literally a mountain of lettuce with a handful of walnuts and FOUR apple slices. In order to do this salad justice, I had to request more apples. Oysters- Out of a dozen oysters, our table did get a couple "bad" ones. Great mignonette. Entree: 48 oz. Porterhouse for Two, Medium Rare- shared this with my boyfriend. It was delicious and perfectly cooked but there was a significant amount of fat on the steak. A notable portion of what was left on our plate when were done, aside from the dinosaur-sized bone, was excess, inedible fat. Sides: Spinach & Parmesan Stuffed Tomatoes- delish. Huge, juicy tomatos. Sweet Potato Steak Fries- Thick-cut and soft. I love the fact that they offer sweet potatoes! Sauteed Broccoli Rabe with Garlic, Chilies, and Lemon- As a broccoli rabe- connoisseur, this was very good. Sauteed Forest Mushrooms Dessert: Key Lime Pie- Beautiful presentation and awesome semi-sweet but not cloying filling with buttery graham cracker crust. Overall, I would like to give Prime 112 a second chance just because there was such a variety of good-quality food for a steakhouse. However, the disappointing service will make me think twice about making a reservation next time I am in Miami.

    No one is too old or too young to enjoy Prime. I am a dad/father of 2....and as respected and appreciative as any of this great steak eatery. Just be sure to make a reservation in advance and not have to deal with significant waits if you walk in, unannounced. Waiters tend to be considerate and attentive. Fighting for a spot at the bar (shoulder to shoulder) and eye-ing a bartender to muster up your favorite bev can be a chore. Prices are high; fashion is high, also. Hopefully you get a 2or 4-top upstairs. The DB level can be higher downstairs. Want to enjoy a good convo?: you'll need to ask, politely, for a linen-topped table up the stairs to the 2nd floor. All beef presentations are plentiful. Salads and fries are a must. The wine list is extensive (mostly California bottlings)....their prices per bottle are most typical of a high end dining spot. We did not bring our own, though, so no idea of corkage fees. Not good for groups or kids, in my opinion.

    Always has been and always will be my favorite steakhouse in Miami. Went with a group of 5 guys, everyone agreed it was the best meal we had while in Miami. Bone-in Ribeye and Fried Oreos are must haves.

    Sunday 645PM reservation, we are seated before 7pm, and no, I am not a Heat player. The service was excellent, the waiter was very attentive, and made plenty of suggestions, including: "one side is good for 2 people". We had cocktails, one was a thai spicy sauce drink, a mojito, and a couple of others, $15 each, and were all just okay, nothing to rave about. They serve awesome breads to start, could have had a second dosage of the bread, one was cheesy, another had raisins and cinamon. We went straight to main course, and ordered the In bone 32oz RIB EYE for 2, I'm gonna say the dish was $78, $50 dollars of which was throw away fat, $10 dollars was the bone, and $18 worth of actual edible meat. Our relatives ordered the same dish, and they did not have the same problem. So it was just our rib eye, I got the short end of the stick, a $78 short stick. The actual meat we got tasted pretty good. If I could have a do over, i might go with the $98 porterhouse for 2, in hopes of getting a full serving for 2. The 2 sides were the mac and cheese and a cauliflower dish in a cream cause. The mac and cheese may be the best I have ever had. We skipped appetizer to hit desert and we ordered the Smores Peanut butter (nominated on food network's best desert I have ever had). I don't like peanut butter, and still this desert was delicious!! Awesome marshmallow, which they make in house, I regret not finishing it off. We also tried the dulce de leche bread pudding, and it was really good too, regret not finishing that one as well. The crowd was Mixed; mostly young russian model escort types with elderly CEO types. The bill was just shy of $300 4 ppl not including tip. Would I go back? The unique dishes were the sides and the deserts....so maybe when I have a peanut butter craving

    People still go here? Really? More money than sense, I guess. If you want to be seen eating overpriced steak and sides, this is your place. Otherwise - Capital Grille is really REALLY good and just across the causeway.

  • Ashley H.

    My boyfriend and I were recommended by a friend to come here during our visit. WE LOVED IT HERE.... the 8oz steak and truffled mac and cheese was amazing! It was kind of funny when we finally sat down, our waiter just served the table of 6 guys sitting next to us with the table piled with plates of food and nowhere left for them to put their wine glasses or bottles. And after I finally decided what to eat, I looked up to see them finish everything.... I JOKE YOU NOT.... EVERYTHING WAS GONE. Is this even normal? Anyway, that was an additional confirmation to us that this restaurant was totally legit/worth our while. I was also told that the fried oreo desert was very good! Though by desert time we were already way too stuffed! NOTE: I would recommend that you call in advance well to reserve a table because when we arrived at the restaurant there already was a huge line.

    People that love this place know nothing about steaks. Overpriced is putting this mildly, I've had better steaks at outback. A quick example of what i mean: Medium doesn't mean you burn the crap of the outside of a steak for a short time leaving the middle raw. Medium means you cook it slowly, so its red throughout with a slight crust around steak. Too hot of a stove made every steak look like a hockey puck, puck on the inside too if you decided to chose medium well or well done, puck and raw on the inside of your choice was medium. Yuck for these pucks.

    3-stars because I have been there in the past and the food is very good. The drinks, on the other hand, are not so great; especially their martinis. I went there last night after the Heat game. We had some friends in town, and I made a reservation a week prior. Mind you, it was a Monday night. We waited 45 minutes, with a 4-top and a 2-top ahead of us STILL, before we walked out. 11:15pm and no one had eaten dinner yet. 2 parties walked in, obviosuly some high-rollers, bc everyone went on their little walkie talkies, and they were quickly ushered through to tables. Hey, Prime 112: Our money is just as good as theirs.

    I had dinner at Prime 112 for my birthday 2 weeks ago. I read all the reviews and was really afraid for the long wait. I was actually late 30 minutes and I checked in anyways. The hostess made a note of my name and we went to grab a drink at the bar. We literally waited about 15 minutes, (as long as it took to order our drinks and much on some bacon at the bar) and we were seated right away! Fabulous! This was a Saturday night and it was packed but we asked to be seated outside where it was more quite. The food was amazing, the service was good. I will definitely come back!!

    I would've given this 4 Stars, but unfortunately the service was horrific and left much to be desired. We were out for our first night in Miami and excited to try this place, but unfortunately were very disappointed. I was with a party of 6 and we had a reservation but still had to wait 40 minutes. When we sat down, it took our waiter awhile to make his way to our table. Once he did come to us he just asked if we were ready to order. Didn't ask if we wanted wine/drinks or if we wanted to start with appetizers. He was very quick with us and really tried to rush us out. With our dinners we ordered a few sides for the table. All of us got our entrees and were halfway done before side dishes were even brought out. Before they came out we attempted twice to get the attention of our waiter, all to no avail.....He also never came to check on our table once, and never asked if we wanted another round of drinks...I am really not one to complain this much about service, but I was very frustrated when I left. It was beyond bad. Regarding everything else: It is a very nice steakhouse with a trendy atmosphere and food was really good...The only problem is it was all overshadowed by the terrible service.

    This is my fathers favorite so I've been here more times than I can count. It gets pricey.. However, I feel you pay for the experience and the quality as well. Not only do I love the atmosphere, but I have never had a bad meal here. The steaks are consistently amazing. The scallops are a close second to being my favorite. Even the fried chicken with waffles is mouthwatering. I won't get started on how phenomenal the lobster bisque is because I wouldn't want to keep ranting.. So to wrap this up: Prime One Twelve definitely ranks superior. Must try.

    "Best Steakhouse"....period. Reading some of the reviews......just surprised. If you want to have the Prime 112 experience.....an absolutely perfect steak in a place considered one of the most famous Steak Institutions in the USA.....1)expect to wait a little....2)expect to be in a crowd....3)expect people like Britney or Dwayne Wade to be treated with VIP service, yes....even if they walk in after you...lol Pulled up to Prime...Valet $40 (Keep it up front) An older lady selling roses right outside.....SoBe cozy look from the outside. Some tables set up on the patio area as you walk in....full of people....everywhere. We walk in.....Elegant Steakhouse Decor. The restaurant seems as if it was an older Miami Beach Apartment Building ("older" only in classic design. ..the place is not old at all) ...people checking in with the hostess....alot of energy..... hostess immediately to your left as you walk in.....confirmed reservation and walked over to the bar. The bar area was packed.... busy......but how these bartenders take care of everyone's drinks at such a fast pace is unreal. Lychee Martini for her.....Redbull/Vodka for me.Having drinks at the bar here is always fun.....last night, ran into some NBA players (unfortunately not from the Miami Heat)... everyone is smiling and looking good (must be the lights in this place lol) At the bar counter....most places have complimentary peanuts...well, Prime112 has several crystal glasses packed with bacon strips. Redbull/Vodka/Bacon/SoBe/Hot date/Steakhouse....hmmm.....heaven? The bar area in itself is an experience.....people having drinks....friendly....bartenders very alert....glass always full. "Miami-style" crowd...well-dressed...elegant & beautiful. Our table was ready....escorted to our table by one of the hostesses....and in the moment.... forgot to get our change back from the bar. I guess the bartender figured we probably didn't want to leave an $80 tip....and located us after we were seated to return our change.......Class-Act. Appetizers: 1) "French Onion" soup....the best I have ever tasted.... 2)Mac&Cheese... how do you create a "gourmet" mac & cheese??....they did...amazing. All very common-sounding appetizers...but that's where they get you.....they go over-the-top with flavor and spices. BTW....We love the beef Carpaccio appetizer served at Prime Italian (same owners)....just across the street....and asked our waiter if they serve that too. His response...."we don't serve it here....but I will have it brought over for you!" Really??????? Unbelievable.....now with service like that.....I can't say enough! Main Course:When the Rib-eye arrives... (ordered it Medium) ... Mmmmmmm Perfect!! Just grilled a little Crisp outside.....soft and perfectly flavored inside.....it is here that you realize......Miami (beach) has the best steakhouse in the US....and btw...in the "sexiest city in the U.S." . Yes....NY...Texas...and LA...I've been there. .....pure-perfection. You always hear about the A-list crowd at Prime.....but if you're here.....regardless of who you are.....you are treated as an A-list guest. Prime 112....is 5-stars and beyond!!! From food to service to atmosphere. Sit back....enjoy the scene.......pamper your significant other....and enjoy! AND if a world famous super-model is seated 2 tables....3 seats....and 6 1/2 steps away...with her 3 girlfriends......well.....Welcome to Miami! The perfect Evening.

    Our server was UHmazin'. Enough said. However, the food was also worthy of 5 stars. She recommended far too much food for my boss and I to share. But we enjoyed it all even as we had to force feed our overly stuffed selves. I would recommend not eating the rest of the day to ensure enough room to enjoy all the food that will arrive to your table. The portions are large and satisfying :).

    The wife and I went here in June of 2006. And you know what?? The drinks, appetizers, service and side dishes were all great!! But the steak itself?? It was just OK and didn't justify the price of eating here. Ruth's Chris filet is better than the one here!!

    Great location in South Beach know for steaks but the show stopping tuna poke was phenomenal. Crabcake was wonderful and 4-bite cocktail shrimp were $9/each- dang! Excellent wait staff but people in Miami are rude and extremely cynical. We heard one d-bag telling the server that he wanted the lobster but wouldn't order it unless she took it out of the shell for him. Guess he needed help wiping his ass too.

    In Miami for work and we decided to head to Prime One Twelve. What an excellent choice. First, it is a really cool location, old house that is nicely updated. We had reservations and were seated right away. Our waiter, Carlos was awesome. Older gentleman, great sense of humor, attentive and helpful in answering menu questions. Started off with the wedge - it is to die for...large chunks of apple bacon, lots of blue cheese chunks and big enough for 4 people. We moved onto the dinner. The accessories (sides) have generous and the bone-in ribeye was excellent. At the end, several people at my table got the deep fried oreos - looked delicious. Overall, great experience, from the atmosphere to the wait staff to the food - all excellent. Only caveat, it is pricey, but worth it.

    Love love love this place. I try to go to a good steakhouse in each city I visit and this ranks at the top. The service and ambiance were great, fun upscale Miami crowd without too much pretentiousness (there is a little, it's South Beach, but if you know what you're in for then it's great). The food was amazing. Starting with the cheesy bread they bring as a starter, yummm. Then we had the house special salad, which was not only awesome, but could have been a full meal for three people. The petite filet was excellent, cooked to perfection. Since we were pretty full from the salad and bread, we only shared one side, the garlic mashed potatoes. I dont know what they put in those things but they were, by a mile, the best mashed potatoes I have ever had. So creamy and savory and delicious! Overall I loved this place and will definitely be back next time I am in Miami. Huge fan!

    Ever bit into a steak? Closed your eyes and sighed? Yes, that good. Food Porn action going on here. "That's huge." {---- what she said. We are talking about all of the oversized portions here. Like coming home to mom's for the holidays style. Haha, I took my family here and they couldn't stop taking pictures of the food. Forget the family pictures, that was 1999. (Asian stereotypes joke) I love this place and the waiters in their cute suspenders. Oh, by the way... -Make reservations early on the weekends, because telling the front desk people is a disaster. It feels like they are ignoring you and there's no where to sit. -I don't trust the Valet parking, I usually park on the streets.

    What a great place to unwind with friends. Attentive and knowledgeable service staff. Food was amazing and a great place to people watch for the rich and famous. Have eaten just about every item on the menu. Big props for this place! Well worth the prices.

    I'm sure people are going to hate me for saying this, but Prime One Twelve just isn't all that good of a steakhouse. This place is more of a place to be seen at, rather than a place to get a great steak. The dining room is cramped (on purpose, I'm sure) and you have to book several weeks in advance to get a table. If you're looking for a good steak, you're better off going to Ruth's Chris, which makes a far superior steak. Quick note: Skip the deep fried oreos for dessert. I thought it would be great, but all that happens when you deep fry an oreo is that it gets all mushy and gross. The batter totally overwhelmes the oreo flavor and it just takes like a crappy donut.

    Horribly over-rated. Don't waste your time or money. We had a reservation for 10pm, not seated until 11pm. Manager offered us free drink as an apology, but did not deliver. Freezing. Had to keep on my coat the entire time. One in our party was not served with the rest of the table - she had to wait. Sliders were overcooked, inedible - buns were burned and scalding to the touch. Waitress said it wasn't worth trying again, because hamburgers had to be well done. So our friend didn't have dinner. Ribeye eye was adequate, sides (lobster Mac 'n cheese, sautéed spinach, mashed potatoes) were good but nothing extraordinary, filet mignon was better, sauces were nothing great. Terrible service and mediocre food - don't waste your time.

    This place does many things well: people watching, food, and service. What it doesn't do well: price and comfort - get over it; you're in SoBe. Come here, have fun, and don't pay attention to the prices. Enjoy the ribeye and fried oreos!

    One of the best restaurants we have ever dined in. In fact it is one of the reasons we keep visiting South Beach is to dine here. The food is spectacular and wait staff is excellent. Our dinner here in July was a birthday celebration and the entire experience was perfect. We have a huge raw bar platter; two story tower with oysters from BVC and large shrimp followed by a plate of tomatoes. The tomatoes here with olive oil are incredible and it seems like someone just picked them off the vine. We wife had a Filet cooked perfectly and I had fish which was amazing. You must order the truffle fries as they are the best in the US. Wife had a chocolate dessert. Wine selection is incredible. Prime 112 is one of the best restaurants in America. One warning; the tables are tight, literally impossible to fit one more person in and it is noisy.

    I seriously do not know how this place is 4 stars on Yelp. Maybe it's because I'm from Los Angeles and I lived in Chicago for a bit and I've been to a ton of fancy steakhouses. Now call me crazy but if you are paying a premium to eat out, I would expect a much better experience! The other Yelpers kid you not, our reservation was at 7:30 PM for a Saturday night and we got seated at 9 PM. Seriously?! And sure, you would think you can park at the bar but the bar has maybe 6 or 7 seats and it was packed! People standing everywhere, elbow to elbow... 2 bartenders that you can barely get to. And, they put out cups of bacon for you to eat if you're hungry... really, bacon? If you're going to make me wait for 1 and a half hours for my table, can you give me something that will actually hold me over for that long without killing me? We were finally seated.. tiny little 2 person table that was unlevel and kept rocking. JOY. We ordered our food... foie gras to start, split a bone in rib eye, truffled mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes. Food was okay.. my favorite part of the meal was their cheese biscuit they brought out first (note, I was FAMISHED by this point). Foie gras was not very good... flavors were not very balanced. I usually LOVE foie gras but this one I couldn't do more than one bite. They brought out the wrong steak to us... we ordered the 22 oz to split but they brought out the 30 oz instead. Too lazy to send it back so fine, we'll eat it. It was just okay... it's a freakn steak.. if you're at a steakhouse and they can't cook your steak correctly.... And then the truffled mac that the waiter was raving about was just okay. It was cheesy, creamy, truffley.. all of those things. But, truffled mac has been good everywhere I've had it to date so I cant say these were any more special. The potatoes were fine. Scalloped with cheese... At the end of the day, it seems like patrons keep going back to the restaurant which enables them to continue this kind of behavior. I have no idea why... maybe it's because it's Miami and it's a beach city... but I know for one that I will never, ever go back... service was atrocious and food was just okay. Have fun and don't go hungry if you're going to go check it out.

    Decent food, but TERRIBLE service. Made a reservation about 2 weeks in advance for a party of 6 at 8:45 on a Saturday evening to celebrate several birthdays and other good news. The restaurant called to confirm that afternoon and we verified that we'd be there. We arrived and checked in right at 8:45 and informed them that our entire party was present (at this point there was no indication how long the wait would be, but we assumed it wouldn't be more than 20-30 minutes since we had a reservation). We sat down on some little couches in a hallway to talk and wait, and a waitress soon came over to ask if we'd like a drink. At that point, my husband went to ask the hostess how long our wait would be - if we were just going to be waiting a few minutes, we'd just get drinks at the table. He was told that "there's only one other party of your size in front of you" but was given no indication as to the timing (we still assumed it wouldn't be that long). Fast forward to 9:30, and we're still sitting on the couches. I get up and ask about the wait and am told that "we're just waiting for a party to finish up," again implying that we'd be seated soon. Fast forward to 10:00, and we're hungry, bored and annoyed by the throng of people waiting for tables who have made their way into our hallway. My friend goes up to the hostess and informs her that, in case she cares, we'll be leaving in 10 minutes if we're not seated. She says that they've asked a table of people to get up (so we assume we'll be getting their table). At 10:10, we stand up, gather our things and are about to head out when we're approached by another hostess and told *miraculously* a table is ready and she just has to grab some menus. We watch as she walks around, grabs menus, seats some other people, walks around some more... etc. We flag her down and she says just a minute, they're just setting the table. We're all standing up at this point and she looks around, puzzled, and says "you were waiting for a table for 4, right?" SERIOUSLY LADY!?!? We've been sitting here bugging you people about M**** party of 6 for an hour and a half! And our reservation, which your establishment confirmed just a few hours ago, is for 6 people! She sighs, says "just a minute" and vanishes again. A minute later we decide we've had enough and on our way out the door when she appears with menus and asks us to follow her... out the door. So we go out the door, down the street, turn the corner and follow her down a side street for about 20 feet before she disappears into another doorway. We're seated in a very nice, small, quiet room, but the menus are from "Prime Lounge," not "Prime 112." We're assured that it's the same kitchen and the menus are the same, not to worry. All the while, there's not one apology from she or any of the other hostesses, wait staff, etc., no one offers us a free drink, bottle of wine, appetizer, or even a glass of water. We ordered, food was served in a reasonable amount of time and we generally enjoyed our meal. I had the salad with candied walnuts, apples and poppyseed dressing and was disappointed by the mountain of lettuce and (literally) 1/4 of an apple sliced and dumped on top for $19, but it was decent and filling. Most of our table had some sort of steak, which everyone enjoyed but no one was blown away. Desserts were very good (had the smores, creme brulee and cheesecake); all were very large portions and were definitely the highlight of the meal. 18% gratuity was automatically included; lucky for the waiters as I don't think they deserved more than 10%. All in all, I really just can't get over the fact that it took over an hour and a half (with a TON of b*tching on our part) to get a table in the lounge next door with no apologies. This was supposed to be a fun, special night and while we enjoyed spending time with friends, we got back to our hotel after 1:30am and had to be up at 7am. I guess maybe an hour and a half wait on a Saturday night is the norm for this place - so it's clearly not the place for me.

    After visiting Prime 112 for dinner last night, I was reminded of why I love it so much. The tuna tartare appetizer was delicious, the filet mignon was perfect, and their burger is probably the biggest i've ever seen. Prime 112 boasts an extensive wine list and so many scrumptious desserts that it makes it near impossible to chose one! The most delicious item i've tried so far is the truffled mac & cheese. It is so wonderfully delicious I think i'll be having mac & cheese dreams for the rest of the week! If maintaining my waist line wasn't such a concern i'd go there twice a month. The portions are so huge you're guaranteed a plentiful doggie bag! Prime 112 is DEFINITELY worth a visit!

  • Keith N.

    Messed up our reservation, upsold the size of the sides(so much left over), HUGE gap in time between the salad and the (literally 70 min) steak, 4 out of 6 steaks were well overcooked, Spilled food all over the table when delivered... New steaks were good but service and first round make me think twice about coming back. Seemed like they started off on a bad foot and then just couldn't recover.

    It was our first time in Miami and this restaurant was highly recommended. We got a 10:30 reserv for a Friday night and the place was super busy. Luckily, we were promptly seated in the dining room. This place is definitely sceney and a celeb spot, which probably adds to the hype. The service was great as the waiter was attentive yet not overwhelming. I had the filet and bf had the lamp chops. The lamb chops won the taste test. Despite the raving reviews, I actually wasn't a fan of the mac n cheese... it was waaaay too gooey for my taste with none of the crispiness I like. But the winner for the night was the deep fried Oreo dessert. DELICIOUS!!! Overall, we had a great experience and I would definitely go back next time I visit Mia.

    Definitely the best resturant overall in miami. it is a quality unmatched anywhere else in food especially the tuna poke and the seafood platter. this is a resturant where you get your money worth although the wait can be annoying.

  • jen r.

    i cannot believe i hadnt reviewed prime 112.. when im recommending it all the time!! so the jumbo shrimp are huge and super fresh. there is a salad there (cant recall the name) its the best salad ive ever had in my life, literally. it has apples and nuts and the dressing is deliciously divine! the filets are great, tender and juicy and grilled just right. i got suckered into getting one of the sauces. totally unnecessary and honestly a waste of money. the steak is better without it. the sweet potato mash was really good as was the asparagus. then on to dessert. oreos (my fave cookie) and fried with ice cream... omg i must have died and gone to heaven. this place is very expensive and a total be-seen kinda place but its worth the experience every now and then. my only pet peeve is that it so crowded. hello really do you have to squeeze so many tables together. i had to get up to let the ppl next to me out. quite ridiculous for such a high end place.

    I was just here this past weekend for a bachelorette party - for which the scene was quite perfect. Of course when you're in a party of 11 girls, you don't pay much attention to the food - which was fine. While the portions were huge, the taste wasn't. Healthy it was not. (I guess I should notate that I don't really eat meat) I had some of the house salad that came drenched in dressing (so of course it TASTED good). Then I had the crab cake..it was...okay. I normally can finish off a crab cake easy, but I actually left half of my plate there (I guess I had filled up on the tasty bread!). We had a few sides and I couldn't help but sample the truffle mac and cheese and the mashed sweet potatoes - both were sinfully rich, so a bite or two was just enough (thank goodness). We were too stuffed for dessert! It was pricey, but I guess it was expected. We had a great time but I doubt I'll ever go back. On a normal basis, totally not my scene or my menu, but it was fun for a rowdy night out (and I don't even want to talk about the giant hot dog!).

    My hubbie and I were walking along and decided to stop in for lunch. We were seated outside. The server was lovely. I can't remember her name but I know she was getting married soon. Anyway - my cocktails was so tasty - it was bellini but unlike any bellini I ever had. We also the most tasty/fresh shrimp cocktail and crab cocktail. We also tried the Prime Italian restaurant across the street a day later lunch and had a subpar experience. The service, food and cocktail were just ok - especially in comparion to Prime 112. Looking forward to coming back and trying Prime 112 for dinner.

    Rather than eat at this place, this place can eat me. Had reservations for 10pm on a Saturday night (that they called to confirm that morning at a convenient 10:38am), took ten minutes to navigate the layers of douche to check in with the hostess then got seated @ 11:15pm...thanks... the food wasn't worth the wait. The ceviche was fine, steak was buh and the salad was just ridiculously large and bland. $200 later (for 2 people), I left and regretted calling for the "reservation."

    I don't see what the big deal is here. Hasn't anyone been to a good steakhouse before? My dismay began the second I walked in the door. After reading all the fab reviews and "hearing" all the good things, this restaurant does not stand up to all the hype. The decor is blah along with the design of the restaurant. My adventure began on Saturday with a reservation at 9:30. The place was packed, but not with Miami's elite crowd; it was all tourists. No beautiful people here this Saturday. To top it off there was a 5 to 1 ration of men to women! We waited an hour and a half for a table. The wait time is no big deal for me, as long as I am comfortable and having a great time. Like when you go to The Forge-- half the fun is the people watching (if you know what I mean). Unfortunately, the design of the place is terrible, so many spots are two or three people deep, and often it is next to others enjoying their meal. It's like your hovering over ones table and being shuffled around like the cattle that is soon to be your dinner. I was super excited to see the waiters uniforms as one yelper said they were cool. I don't know why beer gutted men with burgundy suspenders is cool, or even attractive. Gross was more like it! The menu had a large variety of food which is great. We ordered the scallops (yum), Kobe meatball (fair), and the bone-in filet (left us feeling disappointed). The prices were fine, as long as your willing to pay big $$$$ for a great steak. I was hoping to have the fried oreos, but changed my mind. I couldn't take much more disappointment. Needless to say, I will not be coming back.

    I am a South Beach local I love the food at Prime 112 but last night the service was the worst ever. I was treated bad along with my girl friends. The waitress was upset about bringing us drinks our glasses where empty. She was so rude and unhappy with her job. She also did not count the money right and accused us of under tipping, She recounted and walked away with an attitude and did not apologize for her mistake. This morning I check my bank statement I was charged twice!!! So where my friends!!! Now I have to wait a week for the money to be returned.

    This is definitely the place to see and be seen. You're pretty much guaranteed to see a celebrity or athlete when you go. Last time we went, we saw the guys from American Idol (Simon, Randy and Ryan). The time before that, we saw T.I. Definitely make reservations, but don't hold them to it on a Friday or Saturday night. Be prepared to wait an extra two hours before you're seated. But that's OK, because it's part of the whole experience. Just get some drinks from the bar, kick-back and do some of the best people watching on South Beach. Once you're seated, the service is usually pretty good, and so is the food. The filet mignon is excellent, well-seasoned. The notable sides are the tater tots and the truffle mac & cheese. Look out of the burger, it's enormous! Bigger than a plate! And tastes good, too!

    We chose Prime One Twelve for our last night of our honeymoon after reading many amazing reviews on yelp and chowhound. Our experience with the restaurant was mixed, but overall I'm giving them a favorable review. We could only get an 11pm reservation on a Saturday night because we didn't book it until Saturday afternoon. Our mistake. But when we showed up at 11pm we were made to wait until midnight before we were seated. All the while people would show up in Ferraris or limos and be rushed right to a table right from their car. I even saw one guy approach one of the hostesses and say to her "can you get us your next table?" She appeared to know the guy, who seemed like he could have been a celebrity, but was definetly very rich, and she said "I'll see what I can do." He and his companion sat down before we did. The whole place was a scene. The foyer was packed with people waiting for tables and outside on the sidewalk was an even bigger crowd. Everyone was well dressed and well connected it seemed. Eventually we were seated after standing around for an hour. Our waiter had no sooner taken our orders that a hostess came over and asked us if we would move to another table so she could give our table to another party. Ordinarily I don't let things like this bother me. I want to make life easier for the hardworking restaurant staff whenever I can. But after everything else we had experienced so far, it seemed like a big slap in the face. Fortuantely I glanced over at our waiter, Dominic, and he looked mortified. It was clear that he not only knew she was going to do that, but clearly was upset that she did. We agreed to move, and then Dominic came over and apologized and offered us free drinks, dessert, whatever. We declined but were happy that he offered. I ordered a filet, my wife ordered the chilean sea bass and we got both the stuffed tomato and the beet salad sides. This proved to be an obscene amount of food, way too much!! The tomatoes were nothing special, but the beet salad with the goat cheese "croutons" was out of this world. Dominic asked us when we ordered it if we had ever had it before and when we told him we hadn't he said "you are in for a surprise." He was right. The "croutons" were pretty big balls of soft goat cheese cooked with a pecan crust around them. They were incredibly rich and delicious and went perfectly with the beets. My filet was decent. It was covered in salt, clearly cooked with the salt, which surprised me for such a well-regarded steak house, but it was still good. The sea bass was outstanding, the best fish we had in south florida the entire week. After we finished, Dominic brought out a bread pudding for us without us asking. I thought this was a pretty classy move. We had declined to take the free dessert when asked, but he brought it out anyway. It was a huge bread pudding, and it was rich and delicious. We couldn't eat more than a couple of bites of it because we were so full. But if you love bread pudding I'd suggest saving room. When the bill came, I was excited to see that we came in under $200. I was prepared to pay more and was so pleased that we got a first class meal for such a bargain, despite the b.s. we went through getting to our chairs. Also, when we left this place close to 2am it was still hopping. And the owner was in the place going from table to table hobknobbing with the guests.

    This restaurant consistently overbooks. We had a 9:00 PM reservation for an indoor table for 2 and were only seated at 10:40 PM, outside table. We ordered a salad and a steak. The salad, frankly, was fantastic. By 11:30 no steak so we canceled the order and left. I can understand a busy restaurant may not have tables to even take a reservation. I understand this is possibly not the fault of the staff in the restaurant at the time of reservation, but there was almost a mutiny by the time we were seated.

  • Diane P.

    The pros: some of the dishes are quite tasty and the beautiful people go there, many of them scantily clad, most of them surgically enhanced. The cons: no respect whatsoever for reservation times, ridiculously huge portions, ignorant staff who do not know one vintage wine from another and could not care less when they serve you an inferior year, serious attitude from hostess desk, absolutely no place to sit while you wait for the hours past your reservation time to pass, dry short ribs, dry grouper, unclean water glasses--need I go on? Who on earth thinks this is a good restaurant?? The pickings must be very slim in South Beach if this is considered first class dining.

    Absolutely not worth the time. Although it may be common place for this establishment to be waiting 2hrs with res. to be served over priced over cooked food with a staff with an absolute malaise / attitude is not worth the hype nor cushy price tag. After receiving a obviously over cooked steak which both that were ordered were average at best we were asked if we wanted to speak to a manager to which we obliged. However after waiting another 35 mins while being completely avoided by the staff with attitude for days there was no manager to be seen! However we were seated in a wind tunnel on the curb 50ft from the actual restaurant. So please for your consideration skip the ridiculous crowd average food and complete snob staff and choose another place. Unless that sounds appealing to you hah. The reviews are true ppl I read then myself before arrival thinking the same thing it couldn't be that bad?

    Everyone should experience this place at least once. First time here, my husband and I sat in the main dining room just a stone's throw away from Pat Riley, Jerry Bruckheimer, Vivica A. Fox and a few other celebs. The restaurant is lively and almost always playing Jay Z in the background. It's a hip place. Service is great. The food is good- I can't judge the steak, which I believe they're known for, but I've had their stuffed tomatoes, Organic Field Greens salad (salad with apples, blue cheese and candied pecans) and their Pan Roasted Chicken. My first time here, the food was wonderful. Second time, it was good, but not as good. The portions of the salad and stuffed tomatoes are huge. Love their cheese bread. Really enjoy this place for the atmosphere and excitement that's brought on by the fact that you're likely to see at least one celeb dining amongst the rest of the crowd which can't help but make you feel a little more special and cool than usual;-)

    Decided to check this place out on my last trip to South Beach after hearing about the deep fried oreos. Come hungry, as the portions are large. The salads are on the larger side, perfect for sharing. I had the 16 oz. bone-in Fillet, medium, that arrived exactly as I ordered. I've been to similar priced "steakhouses" that couldn't get a smaller portion cooked right. The fillet was very tender and juicy, probably the best I've had yet. We ordered the Scalloped Parmesan potato's that were delicious. The deep fried oreos with Vanilla ice cream hit the spot. We made a reservation, but had to wait a little bit, no big deal to us, as we were on vacation. Our server was top-notch and explained the menu and food portions to us perfectly. Definitely has become my number 1 place to visit when in SOBE.

    It seems I have become one of those people. Had a bad experience at a steakhouse in Boca and, because of arrogant and out of touch managment of the place, just had to Yelp it. So because I have no yelping time I am only doing negative yelps. I hate that. Let me fix that by giving a good review to a So. Fla. steakhouse. I had previoulsy reviewed a dessert here, and recently had occasion to have an entire dinner. In terms of traditional American Steakhouses (I would submit that Peter Luger is a different experience), this is probably as good as it gets, at least the best of the places that I have been. Would go back in a heartbeat. Oh, and the lounge of the adjoining hotel that they just opened is equally magnificent. They serve a full menu there, making their fantastic food more available to the never-ending line of people who want to eat and be seen there. Yes it's expensive. But aren't all steakhouses? Don't you always leave steakhouses going, "That was good, but where did all that money go?" Wouldn't you rather spend 5% or 10% more on your bill and leave saying, "Yes!!!" (add fist pump here)

    I don't eat meat but I'm a fan of Prime 112. Is it because everyone always seems to order too much food and I get to take a doggy bag home? Or is it because I'm a sucker for their sweet potato mash and Oreo Tempura Cookies? Please, trust me, do your best to save some room for the Oreo Tempura dessert. I always get so mad with myself when I eat too much lobster, truffle fries, and the amazing walnut and apple salad (enough for three people).

    Not good. Just touristy. If you want to go to people watch you'll be happy. If you like the steaks you are clueless.

    The food is definitely worth the wait! The truffle Mac n cheese is to die for! I haven't had anything on the menu that wasn't good. Make your reservations in advance and earlier than you would like to eat because even with reservations you will wait an average of 45 minutes especially on a Fri/Sat night.

    I went here to check out the seen. Any night here you will see a celebrity or athlete when you go. We made reservations, they still make you wait a long time on the weekend. We waited an extra hour before we were seated. But that's OK, because it's part of the whole experience. I think they make more money from the drinks they sell to the patrons waiting to be seated. Once you're seated, the service is usually pretty good, and so is the food. The filet mignon was my favorite, well-seasoned. The notable sides arethe baked potato and the truffle mac & cheese. My favorite place south of 5th on Ocean

    What a joke! I am now calling this place Subprime 112 in honor of our crappy economy! Thanks for wasting 2 hours out of my evening in Miami! We had reservations at 9 pm. Come 11 pm and we still weren't seated and the place was a complete zoo. The staff was completely clueless and looked like they were operating in slow motion. I can understand a place being crowded, but the staff was so disorganized, they eventually had no control of anyone's reservation or table. There was no where to sit or stand without being in someone's way, or being felt up!! It made me feel extremely uncomfortable. If you have the slightest case of claustrophobia, avoid this place like the plague! The managers walk around with their ear pieces like they are someone important in the CIA. Where did they find these guys? Did they import bouncers from L.A. nightclubs (*ahem* Area! *ahem*)? They seemed vaguely familiar. They have to have been aholes with clipboards outside of whatever the happening club happened to be at the time in a former life. I asked one of the worthless management staff if he knew what Yelp was? He didn't... What a complete dipshit! I tried to ask him what the deal was with our table and he was like, "Don't talk to me! I'm listening to my earpiece!!" This guy was RUDE with a capital R. News Flash: The restaurant industry is all about the service, respect, and courtesy. Especially in the higher end restaurants. Subprime 112 is apparently clueless when it comes to this sort of thing. I have never been treated with such disrespect. Here's a thought Subprime 112: If you can't handle the sheer crowd of people, then don't allow as many reservations. You don't have to showboat and take on a bunch of reservations that you can't possibly accomodate just to make your restaurant seem popular. It doesn't help your business... If anything, it pisses people off. I didn't hear one happy person in that sea of people waiting for their tables. It was complete chaos! People were so hungry, they were ordering food and eating outside on the sidewalk. I couldn't help but wonder if Subprime 112 was the only somewhat decent steakhouse in Miami... but then I got my food. Subpar at best. I've had better steaks at Denny's! The exterior of my steak was burnt... bring on those carcinogens baby! The interior was not medium rare as I had asked for and it wasn't all that great. The waiter was Subprime 112's only saving grace that night. And after having to tip the hostess $100 just to be able to get our "reserved table" (2 hours after our reservation time), I think the only person who was deserving of that tip was the waiter. The rest of your staff blows and needs an attitude/reality check. I'd organize a boycott or set up shop with a better steakhouse right next door but I decided that ya'll were not worth the effort. I will not be back... And I will be posting this review a few places. Maybe then your dipshit manager will finally learn what the hell Yelp.com is. Duhhh!!!

    oh.my .god. What is the deal with Miami? Are all of you insane? I've never seen a scene like this. Old coots with young girls fresh from breast augmentation surgery. Tables crammed into narrow hallways, right next to the bathroom. A bar so narrow that yes, someone is going to rub up against you, and you probably won't like it. Old ugly dudes with too much money offering drinks to young women who know better. This place was my idea of purgatory. For those of you unfamiliar with words of more than two syllables, "personal hell" will work too. To be fair, the food was good, but not great, and suffered from an overreliance on and a heavy hand with truffle oil. STOP THE MADNESS!. Appetizers we ordered included crab cake with way too much mayo, a majestic tower of cold shellfish, way overdone foie gras, Kobe "sliders", and deviled eggs. Of those, the Shellfish tower was the only truly perfect dish - how could you go wrong during stone crab season? The deviled eggs were also very good but were redolent -- no, STANKY, with truffle oil. (as an aside - my caproinha was very good...but my boobs weren't big enough to get refills for free). Our entrees were too big. My salmon entree (supposedly wild) was enough to feed a small family. The grill marks were unappealing and amateurish - no cross hatch, just a simple chunky dark line. My potatoes were doused in truffle oil, which made me gag. The sides were more fun to eat, but again were over-truffled. Creamed corn was dripping with truffle oil. At least the broccoli, served plain with a cheese sauce on the side, was completely plain. No truffle, no garlic...and no salt. Bless you Prime 112 for doing something without canned panache. Desserts were a disaster. They were far too large, inelegant, and clunky to cap off an otherwise average meal. Our bread pudding was big enough to serve the same family mentioned above. A chocolate 'pudding' cake was more 'goo' than 'pudding', bananas foster cheesecake was the largest slice of cheesecake I'd ever seen, accompanied by a sloppy plate of gooey bananas, presumably cooked in the style of foster. For a meal just a few steps above cheesecake factory, Prime 112 is not a good value. And for those who want to be seen -- by all means, please do go to this place. Presumably you won't be eating and you'll be spared the offense of paying too much for ample servings of mediocre fare.

    Every year I go to South Beach with my best friend and this is our annual "first meal" of the trip...when you want to start your trip off on the right note this is a great spot to do that... Now as everyone has said...this is a scene...no problem. Isn't that why we are all in South Beach anyway? If you wanted quiet you wouldn't be in this part of FL. My friend and I had a 9:30 reservation and we were seated at 10:15. This is pretty standard at this place. If you yell at them it will not help you and based on the number of reviews they are not hurting for business so threatening to leave...well they could care less...so bring your calm attitude...don't be in a rush and be prepared to be seated much later than your reservation time. Go to the bar...get one of their delicious drinks or come with someone you actually want to talk to while you wait. As for the food (oh yea that's why we are there)...we ALWAYS get the caesar salad. It is enormous (I wish they would offer half portions because its such a waste). But I crave this salad all year and think it is the best salad I have ever had. As for dinner I have had many things over the years but this year I ordered an app as my entree...the diver scallops with a braised short rib and parm mash. It was delicious and the perfect amount. Unfortunately we were too full for dessert. Maybe next year... This is definitely a go to place and should be on everyone's list...bring your money though...because you are going to need it!

    This place is definitely a scene and swimming with the celebrity scene in Miami. We got there on time for our 9:00 PM reservation, there was a bit of a line to check in with the hostess but when we sat down we waited for 60 minutes. the filet mignon off the porter house was excellent as well as the mac n cheese, cream of corn and salad really yummy. The cheesy biscuits are also trouble.. we ordered the broccoli fondue but that was a flop, I was expecting a heated fondue of cheese but it was actually just poured on like nachos.

    Upscale restaurant that is well worth the money. We ordered the Stuffed Lobster (with crabmeat) and it was the best dish I have ever had. I think the cost of the lobster dish was $150.00 for a 2 + pound lobster. I remember my husband praying for the food and the aroma coming from the plate had me begging for my husband to finish praying fast!!!!! My husband shared the dish with me but also ordered the prime rib. We were not impressed with the prime rib because I make one that is better than the one they served. My husband ate the bar out of their bacon strips they have in glasses on the bar counter. Be prepared to spend a lot of money. We would definitely go back when we are in the mood to spend that much money like special occasions. The restaurant is small and quaint and reservations are required. I highly recommend it for couples wanting a romantic dinner.

    Last night in Miami so wanted to make sure we tried this place out, have heard so many things. First off, be prepared to wait, even if you have a reservation. Grab a spot at the bar and people watch, this place is great for that. Don't get anxious and start asking the hostess for an update on your table, I think it just pisses her off. My wife and I were in the mood for some oysters so, we ordered a half dozen Kumamoto. They were delicious, all perfectly shucked and fresh as can be. For the main course I ordered the 8 oz Filet Mignon and my wife ordered the Prime Salad. As a side we ordered the truffled Mac and Cheese, a signature dish at the restaurant. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The salad was tremendous (serves 2). The Mac and cheese was delicious. Overall a very good experience at this restaurant. I'd recommend it to anyone coming down to Miami and would definitely come back the next time we are in town.

    Always a must when visiting Miami. The lobster bisque is the best I have ever had. The steak wonderful. Next time I need to make room for dessert! The only down fall...even with a reservation you still have to wait. They need to work on that!

  • Cynthia T.

    Made reservations but we ran about 15 min late, so we had to wait no biggie. I ordered a mojito and it was way too strong, I couldn't enjoy it. I've definitely have had better ones. The food was good, service was good. Everything was fine.. Nothing amazing.

    It was Sunday night before Halloween...we didn't know where to eat and my bf looked up this place and I guess he was in the mood for some meat! Called the restaurant at 8:30 and they had the next available table at 10:15. We got there around 9:45 and the place was just crazy packed. I guess people in this city just don't work but I'm sure most of these people are tourists like us. We didn't sit down until a little after 10:35. Place is dark and pretty loud all around with chatter. Definitely not a romantic date place if you're looking for a quiet atmosphere. We enjoyed the warm bread basket. Cheesy biscuit and the onion-y rye bread...delicious. For the appetizer, we had the pan seared scallops with braised short rib over mashed potatoes. Scallops were a little too salty but when you mixed it with the short rib and mashed potatoes it tasted alright. I did like the short rib and sauce...but they only give you one short rib! An expensive appetizer for so little. I'm a Southern chick so I got the chicken and waffles. They supposedly had an article written about it so I thought I'd give it a whirl. Big ol' portion!!!! Definitely two or three people can share this. The chicken was so big that you couldn't even see the waffle underneath! Again...the chicken was just soooo salty! I thought maybe it was just the breading but when I ate it without the batter it was still super salty! I'm not much into salty foods so maybe I'm overexaggerating, but still! If you like it salty, get it! My bf got the veal chop...it looked good but when I took a bite of it, the meat was like a tough pork chop. Unimpressed. Our waiter was nice and on point with service. I wished that we had room for dessert but we were just too stuffed. I hear this is a happening spot for celebs. I think I may have seen Eva Pigford from America's Top Model. Our dinner came out to be almost $150 with tip included.

    We dined here on Sunday evening (7/31/11) family of four, two adult sons. I was totally disappointed. The decor and ambiance were worthy of 5 stars, the food I would rate 3 stars, and the service 2 stars. Our waiter was polite enough, professional, but rushed and harried. One got the impression that this has become a "Turn and Burn" enterprise as many such establishments evolve into after the over hyped reviews and marketing based on "celebrity sightings". I understand the impetus to turn tables quickly when there are long lines, and waiting list of people eager to drop $50.00 + for a steak, but when maximizing profit becomes the primary driver, invariably quality suffers. Three people in our party ordered appetizers, my crabmeat cocktail did not show up by the time the rest of the party was finished their appetizers, though I was told it was on its way, I asked the waiter to cancel that item. When our main course showed up the side dishes trailed by about 5 minutes each - sweet potato and spinach, I was told the lobster mac and cheese was on its way, but it never showed by the time we were three quarters the way through the steak. I asked the waiter to cancel, to his credit offered to provide a complementary serving of the same, but we declined, it seemed pointless as we were almost finished our meal. At one point the assistant waiter while refilling our water poured in such a way that the water pitcher dribbled on my son's steak, we did not make a big deal about it, but commented to each other on the sloppiness of the service; this level of service I would not be surprised at from Perkins (RIP), Denny's or one of the other venues further north on Ocean Blvd, but not from an establishment that will cost you $100+/person. I ordered a T-bone said to be 20 oz, seemed more like a 20 oz sliced in half. The taste was fair, not a stand out by any means, the roasted garlic was unique, a nice touch. My wife raved about the key lime pie, I cannot comment as I did not sample. We dine at the major steak house chains on a regular basis - Ruth's Chris (my favorite), Del Frisco's, Morton's, Capital Grill, all stand head and shoulders above this establishment.

    If you like to see and be seen, then this is the restaurant for you. Very chic, very expensive and great for celeb spotting. The best reservation I could get was for 9 p.m. on a Friday and we showed up and still had to wait for over an hour for our table. The food is really good, but it's essentially the same thing as Morton's, Ruth's Chris, The Palm, etc. - just set in a younger/hipper atmosphere. If you're on vacation or it's a special occasion and you're looking to splurge, then go ahead and do it at Prime One Twelve!

    After arriving in Miami late in the evening on my birthday, I unfortunately found that most of the restaurants I had planned on trying were no longer serving dinner. However, I was excited to find that Prime 112 was still serving dinner. The weird part was that upon entering and asking the hostess if they were still serving dinner she seemed confused and after checking with someone told us no. Very quickly afterward, another woman, possibly a a manager berated her and informed us that they were still open. Food/quality: Upon sitting down and viewing the crowd here and the menu, I felt like I had unexpectedly ended up in a place where I would enjoy the best steak. Quite frankly, I was unimpressed with my steak. It was cooked medium rare as I ordered it, but it was burnt and dry on the outside. I barely touched the sides, particularly the broccoli. When I ordered it, I didn't expect to have huge uncut chunks smothered in cheese that were awkward to eat. The creme brulee for dessert was just ok, but I enjoyed the mint chocolate cookie-like chunks included with it. Overall, the champagne we ordered was the best thing we ordered. Service: Aside from the hostess situation, the service was very impressive -pleasant, efficient and detail-oriented. Atmosphere: I don't have to say much here as other reviewers have covered it. This restaurant was full of people (women) who wanted to be seen in trendy outfits. Value: I didn't feel like this was a good value for two people, unless it was just a bad night for the quality of the food.

    Been going to Prime since its opening. We have had dozens of good experiences over the years .....until recently. Seems now too popular to worry. Understand reservations for 800 covers on a Thursday night. The last two out of three experiences have been hit or miss in terms of service. Last Thursday night is the last time we will go there. The hostess could care less about the customers. Wait staff no longer well trained. Avoid seating in the lounge, as completely different experience. We will now go elsewhere in the future.

    Long wait with a reservation...I get it, all good. Great server!! Average food at best. Chilean Sea Bass was flavorless. Grits were cold and poor quality, brussell sprouts great, steak fair but overcooked. Prices were a bit high for the quality of the food. Really have heard amazing things, maybe it was just an off night. Everyone has them.

    This place never disappoints. The food and service is consistently good here. It's nice to know you are going to get treated well at a high end restaurant before you walk in. I'm a creature of habit and mostly order the 12 oz filet with gorgonzola. The place is usually packed, it's good to know you can walk next door to Prime Hotel and get the same food without all the commotion. Out of town people should expect to pay up, this is freaking sunny Miami Beach. My only regret is i don't come here more often, one of the cons of working in the nightlife business.

    I've been to Miami twice and every time there has been a trip to Prime. It's by far my favorite restaurant in Miami! The steaks are juicy, the appetizers are really good, and most importantly, SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT!!! The desserts here are nothing short of excellent!! My personal favorite, the delicious chocolate chip cookie with a glass of ice cold milk!

  • Ivonne Marie C.

    I love fine dining, but this place is definitely overrated. The food was not all that, average really if you consider the price. I've been to cheaper steakhouses where the service is 10x better, and the food amazing. 1. They brought the cheese fondue for everyone on the table - the melting pot's cheese fondue is much better. 2. appetizer: I had the escargot for appetizer - it was fine... nothing out of this world; my hubs had the onion soup, and felt the same way 3. entree: i had the tuna - nothing amazing; my husband had the 8oz fillet Mignon - it wasn't great, he ordered it medium and they brought it well done, the outside was crispy. 4. dessert: i ordered the smore's - returned it - nuf said! 5. drinks: i had the lycee martini - bad; hubs had a gibson - bad, the only good part of the meal was the cognac he ordered after dinner, but then again, who can mess up pouring a drink from a bottle into a glass. We went there for our office xmas party. we had the room from 7-9:30 and true, we took longer than 9:30, but there was no other party waiting for the room. The waiter told us he'd bring our desserts in a to-go container b/c our time was up. He even got upset when everyone wanted coffee!!!!!!!!!!! I really don't see what anyone else sees in this restaurant other than being able to say they had a very expensive steak - definitely not worth it, it is not a place I care to ever visit again... needless to mention they had a $25 hot dog - i don't care if it's made w/kobe beef - that's still insultingly ridiculous!!!

    Smores dessert was amazing and definitely up there on the best thing I ever ate list. Service was super fast once we got seats, even when super crowded. Entrees were good, but sides topped the entrees. All in all a great experience! Especially sitting at the bar and served by OG.

    I recently went to this restaurant for my sister in law's birthday and I have nothing but great things to say about the dining experience, except the amount of time we had to wait to be seated. Our reservation time was not honored and we waited about an 45 minutes to be seated. However, after we were seated, the night could not have gone better. I ordered the jumbo crab cake (yum), pan seared scallops (they melted in my mouth - delicious), and the chilean sea bass (divine - best I ever had). We had a great night with family..couldn't have been better.

    This place has become something of a birthday staple in my family for the last few years. I was lucky enough to spend my last one at home in Miami and we figured "hey, what better way to celebrate another year of living than by gorging ourselves on meats and delicacies accented with truffle oil?" The steaks are delicious and the portions pretty generous. Having recently become a fan of escargot, we decided to get some for the table and it was surprisingly subpar. Definitely not the best I'd ever had. Despite that brief garlicky snail stumble, everything else was delicious. This place has one of the best steak tartares ever. Like, seriously. I can't get enough of it.

  • Carrie H.

    What a disappointment. This restaurant reeks of snobbery. As a visitor to Miami Beach, I guess I expected a little more warmth and friendliness at a restaurant of this caliber. My friend and I had been on a hunt for Key Lime Pie and stopped in Prime One Twelve simply for a piece of pie and a drink at the bar on a Sunday afternoon. We felt like we had leprosy. We both couldn't wait to get out of this place. We're still not sure why we were treated so strangely, but I won't ever step foot in another Prime restaurant again.

    This is THE STEAKHOUSE in Miami Beach - awesome place for drinks, dinner and just to hang out. I LOVE veal chops and order it at almost every steakhouse I visit and Prime has the BEST veal chop I've ever had. No joke - their bone in chop is super tender and served with a stuffing stuffed beef steak tomato and is EXCELLENT! I also highly recommend the truffel mac and cheese, and if ou make ie early enough in the night ask for bacon strips for your table. The drinks here are awesome as well and I've had multiple steaks on the menu and have never had a bad experience here. Prime does accommodate groups in the large rooms upstairs which are cool for bday parties and group hang outs, but alway always always make a reservation at least two days in advance whether your a group of 2 or 12 and expect to wait about 30-45 min after you show up to be seated even with a reservation.

  • Patricia d.

    (Part of the "I MISS MIAMI" series of Yelp reviews) This place is like, totally like, what's the word?! TRENDY!!! Show up in your CU-test outfit; something short, tight and revealing, if you want to be noticed. The crowd is 90% - people who want / need to be seen, and 10% people who are really there to enjoy a meal. I mean really - I saw at least two Angelina Jolie look-alikes and a Jennifer Gardner wanna-be all on one night, and tons of DOMs (Dirty Old Men) on the prowl. Lots and LOTS of plastic and collagen in there... Now - if you want to actually enjoy their delicious - perfectly cooked meat and sides, then try wearing something more comfortable. ;-) I usually get the 8 oz. filet mignon with fois gras, and I can recommend ALL their sides (which are served in large portions, family style). I've also tried their kobe beef. Just thinking about it makes me shiver, so de-lish. I've never tried their seafood, which even surprises me because I usually choose seafood before meat...but I haven't heard anything negative. It's a pricey meal, but worth it...on occasion. Three stars. (I started with 4, but minus 1 just because it's so DAMN crowded in there!!!) Oh! And yes, the hallways are iiiitttty biiiiiitttty.

  • Theo H.

    It isn't the restaurant's fault, but sitting outside for lunch feels like a construction zone - there is literally construction going on in every direction. The food is delicious and the Malbec was a great pairing. I wasn't 100% impressed with their steak sandwich, but then again, I had high expectations. I did, however, love the tomato soup and my friend's lobster bisque was even better! So, despite being known for their beef, I would absolutely return for the soup.

  • Sean B.

    The wait was insulting. We had a reservation for 2 at 7:30 on a Sunday night, and we weren't seated until 9:30. The hostess lied to everyone who entered, claiming that the wait was 45 minutes. They intentionally overbook reservations and tell people the wait is much shorter than it really is to entice people to wait. It created a madhouse atmosphere. The food was fantastic, but the experience was horrible. I would never go back.

  • Carlos P.

    Came here about two weeks ago and they surprisingly overcooked my steak. Really surprising since I used to order between grades here and they would get it right. Though it is possible that the waiter did not here me saying medium rare, and gave me a medium (it was pretty loud). Anyways, I should have sent it back but thats my own fault or mentioned something (the waiter did not ask). The sides are still great, cesar salad is good (more than enough to share). To be fair, I have never had less than a 4 star experience in the past, but its hurts a bit to leave slightly disappointed from such a traditionally great steakhouse.

    Prime One Twelve is one of my favorite places to go.... The services is spot on. The food is to die for. Get a table outside at sunset and a good bottle of wine - sheer bliss! My last meal there consisted of the following: Shrimp Cocktail, Kobe Steak, Truffle fries, Oreo Tempura... Large portions. Well worth the money! The Kobe steak was melt in your mouth wonderful. Salads at lunch are also a hit. There is something for everyone on this menu, not to mention the wine list is quite extensive and the selection is good.

    I ate at Prime 112 this December to celebrate something special, the birth of me. I really like this restaurant. I think I am partially giving it a good rating because of the experience and not necessarily the food and service, so keep this in mind. We started at th bar where the serve huge water glasses full of bacon for the clients to snack on. Applewood smoked bacon. Bacon, people, bacon. The bartender made great drinks but I would not classify her as exactly friendly. Then we moved on to the dining room and had a great waiter. He paced everything perfectly. Food came out slow enough to enjoy the experience but fast enough so it did not seem like we were there forever. We shared oysters, a scallop appetizer on a small bed of mashed spuds, and 1 filet mignon on the bone and some grilled aspapragus. Absolutely everything was delicious and well prepared. Not a damn thing to complain about. Our last night in SOBE, returning from a long drive down to 7-Mile bridge, we stopped in again at Prime 112 and shared some kobe beef sliders. Damn, those were the bestest sliders I have ever had. The bun was slightly sweet and they put some caramelized onions in there to accompany the luscious beef. Very good experiences, both times. Good food, all around good service.

    I'm not really sure what the hype of this place is all about. After reading the reviews and seeing that a lot of celebs go there often, I decided to give this place a try on my birthday. I had a party of 9, and made reservations. Unfortunately half of my party was 30 minutes late, and were told we can no longer have the table they had reserved for us indoors so we were seated outside. My grandparents were not thrilled since it was a chilly night and my grandma had a cold. But with their outside heaters we managed. So the servers came and introduced themselves. They brought some good bread to our table.Our main server was very snotty and even though he made faces like he was upset, he did accommodate us when we asked to exchanged the very salty onion soup my grandma had ordered for the clam chowder soup. This soup was also salty so we sent both back and my grandma ended up eating from my plate and my mother's plate. I ordered the tuna sliders and the truffled macarroni and cheese, and a mango mojito. They were all ok, my brother had the chicken and waffles and I tried it and it was good. My uncle, grandfather and mom had the bass white fish, and it was ok as well nothing spectacular they say. One of my friends had a churrasco steak that she said was ok, and my other friend had a quarter chicken with mash potatoes and for the price, she thought was ridiculous. Also since we were outside everyone's food got cold fast =( For dessert we had a creme brulee with like 3 little mint chocolate brownies on the side and some berries. It was ok as well, I personally didn't like the brownies at all. So for the amount of money we spent. I was expecting wow quality food, and it wasn't. I don't think I will ever go back.

    If I could give this place ZERO stars I would. My rating is not based on the food, vibe or layout - it is purely on the service. A few friends of mine visited Prime for a celebration dinner. The place was packed and the front area was a complete mess. Thankfully our reservation was quickly honored and we sat down. One of the members in our group had a friend whose brother was a waiter at Prime. We thought we were lucky enough to get the friends brother as our server. While we didnt really expect any handouts we did think that at least we would be looked after. Perhaps the waiter was having a bad night. While we received our food and - good food might I add - the server was mostly uninterested and frankly forgetful, ie. not bringing food out at the same time, forgetting drinks. Anyway, I can live with that, but close to the end of our steaks a HUGE cockroach scurries across the table. Of course we alert our server. What is the normal response from a server? Perhaps a free drink? A free desert and apology at the very very least. Nope, not any of those, instead we get the response, "Hey, its Miami, what do you expect?" What do I expect? is this for real? I ask to see the manager. I retell the story, I tell him how disapointed I was in the server's response, that it was unacceptable at a highly rated restaurant that is VERY expensive to blow off our concern. I told him I am from NYC and have seen the biggest cockraoches in the world - but not on my table at a supposedly 5 star restaurant. So what was the Manager's response? "It's Miami, it happens here." Perhaps I am in the twilight zone - perhaps everyone expects a little extra protein in their food. Look, i get it, there are bugs, they get into things...but lets try, just a little bit, to be professional about it and just apologize. I will clearly never go back to this establishment - and it's too bad - the food is good and it's a fun place. I guess I am just a bit bugged.

    We had the best dinner at Prime 112 in South beach this past holiday weekend. Food was amazing and everyone ordered something different from seafood to chicken to chicken and waffles all was amazing. The staff was very hospitable and we had a lg party with a private room which was great. The desserts were amazing also, definitely try the fried oreos and Reese's surprise if you have room from all the food they provide. They also provide fresh bread but if your smart you will hold off because the food is that good!! I will definitely be going again when visiting FL. P.S.Lobster Mac melts in your mouth literally! :) Cheers!

    Arrived a little early for my 7:30 reservations and the line was out the door. Took 30 minutes to get to check in. Big crowd with people shoving and others trying to cut in line. Was told it would be at least 2 hours and when I asked why, he said read our reviews everyone waits at least 2 hours. Their customer service is very bad. You cannot find a place to sit, cannot get a drink, this place is awful

    I love this place; been several times and it's consistently excellent. The bone-in ribeye steak is my favorite, along with their truffle fries. They have an extensive wine list and while always busy, once you're seated the service is great. Expensive but well worth going back to.

    I guess i'll have to be the bear here. This place is popular with the high-end tourist types and south beach snoots. But one thing many people fail to discover is that this restaurant lacks a lot of etiquette in service, thrice in quality, timing, and courtesy. in fact, take away its location and its clientele and you could've sworn it was a kitchen shack by some dumpsters next to an old shopping plaza in hialeah. I've been here a few times and it has been inconsistent. There have been moments of goodness, particularly for their steaks...but going on different times ordering the same steak...one day it was good, next day...not so good. the funny thing is the day i got a good steak i had some really crappy table service..which consisted of a waiter taking your order then goes david blaine on us disappearing for half an hour without ever bringing out utensils or drinks. The day i had the terriblly undercooked steak they had great table service. that waiter was nice at least. It may seem like a high quality joint..thanks to the popularity with the people but i know deep down Prime One Twelve is too Jekyll and Hyde for my time and money. there are better restaurants with better food and better pricing. seriously! just search on yelp and you shall see

    This is not a dinner review but an overall review. We went there on a Saturday night and it was packed. A friend said it was a great place to eat and had a bar but we had decided to eat at wish and just stopped in to check it out. This was a sexy steak house and the food smelled amazing. There were cups at the bar filled with what looked like dried bacon. I ordered the chocolate martini that was so amazing it made me want to write a review. The service was good and the atmosphere was hot. I'll go back for dinner the next time I'm in town. The bartender was acoomidating to our non-drinking friend and put her bottle of water on ice to keep cool while the rest of us had a drink.

    The gold standard for dining on the beach...a place to see and be seen, and a place to save for a special occasion. The best cuts are the bone-in cuts designed for sharing. The 48 oz. Porterhouse for two is easily shared by 3-4, allowing a group to round out the meal with some of the ridiculous sides: truffles lobster Mac, sinful tater tots, etc. Best perk: bacon at the bar.

    The food was excellent! My wife and I had the 8oz filets and they were great but my mom had the sea bass and it was by far the best I've ever had. The bread was great and my kids probably would have eaten just that if we had let them. They don't have a separate kids menu but the waitress suggested the Kobe beef sliders and my kids loved them. I tried the sliders and they were very good but I'm not sure I could pick out that they were Kobe beef. The only thing I didn't like were the home made tater tots. They were so big that you ended up with a low ratio of crispy outside to gooey inside. I prefer having more crispy than gooey. A great steakhouse but its definitely on the expensive side.

  • Carolina M.

    I went to this restaurant twice, and both times they overcooked my filet mignon...I ordered it medium-rare, not well-done...Anyway, I still don't see why people like it so much...maybe I was not lucky...twice. I prefer Smith & Wollensky a million times.

  • Diego F.

    My Favorite Steak House!!!! Choose any cut you can't go wrong. If you like Lobster you must have the Lobster bisque. Hands down the best ANYWHERE! Be careful you might choke on the chunks of lobster. It's fantastic. You can't go wrong in this place.

    Extremely loud, lots of prostitutes with older men.........decent food, but possibly the loudest restaurant with the most obnoxious people I've ever had the displeasure of dropping 150 bucks at... Go to Mortons or Capital Grill instead if you're an actual fan of steakhouses. This place is a bastardized Miami version of what a steakhouse should be.....

  • Matthew C.

    I wish I could give it 5 stars. My steak was excellent and with the bacon butter smeared on was truly delicious. But the only side that I got to try was the lobster mac and cheese. And it just wasn't that good. Shula's has a crab mac and cheese that is just so good, maybe the lob mac&cheese just didn't have a shot? I wanted to get appetizers (kobe mini burgers sound great) and more sides, some sort of potato, but didn't have the stomach to handle it all before a big night on the town. Will definitely have to get back to Prime 112 to see if they can earn that extra star. Also... dress to impress, as there were many beautiful women scattered throughout. Hostess and bartenders included.

    I should have trusted some of the other negative reviews on yelp. We had a 8:45pm reservation on a Friday night, arrived at 8:35pm. Hostess says there is a 30 min wait for a table for 2 that we reserved. We did not get seated until 10:15pm!!! After the 30 min wait, at 9:15pm the hostess said we would be seated soon so we decided to wait. While waiting, the bar and entry area was packed full of people so you could hardly move. People just seemed pissed off that they were all waiting so long for a table, even with reservations. Seems like the restaurant overbooks reservations on purpose to get people to buy drinks at the bar while waiting. I can't believe the hostess just flat out lied about how long the wait would be. The rib eye for 2 that we ordered was only average in taste, and really nothing special. The french fries we had as a side was also only average. The waiters were really busy in the restaurant, so the table service was not particularly good either. I mean, the waiter was nice enough but service was slow. I really don't understand why this restaurant has such a high rating on yelp and zagat. Perhaps these ratings reflect past food quality and service? The restaurant really needs to take fewer reservations. It can't handle the volume it has now. And the hostess has to be honest. If we're not going to be seated for an hour and a half, it would be nice to know it. There is a huge difference between saying the wait is 30 vs 90 minutes. Some of this could be forgiven if the food was good, but it was not. Waiting this long for food that was blah really just ruins your evening.

    The food was good, but very, very, exceedingly rich. Granted, I got the crab stuffed grouper and truffle mac and cheese. But even the parmesan and spinach stuffed tomatoes were heavy (although the tomatoes were incredibly fresh). The ceviche was tasty, the poke was good. The tuna was very fatty which tastes good, but again, is heavy. Service, on the other hand, was not good. While our waiter was courteous, he was not attentive. I sat for over an hour with an empty water glass. Note, that we were at a business dinner and not drinking. However, I think because we are four female, young professionals, we somehow blended into the scenery.

    One of the worst dining experiences ever . I made a reservation 4 weeks in advance , they called to confirm and we thought we would have an amazing dinner. We arrived 20 min before 7:30p reservation time and were told we would have a table almost to our res time.we went to the bar and had drinks, more drinks actually$150.00 in drinks for 4.my husband checked numerous times with the 4 hostesses and they kept assuring him of our table shortly. He then proceeded and gave one of the hostesses $20.00 to speed up the process. After 11/2 hours and no table we approached the maitre 'd. In my opinion he and the 4 hostesses are useless to anyone who is not a regular, movie star or a non senior citizen. The maitre 'd did finally find us the worst table in the house, loud and next to the bathrooms. By this point my husband freaked out and we decided to leave.I went to the maitre'd and asked back for the $ 20.00 tip for the table.... all 4 hostesses looked at me like I was speaking an alien language the maitre ' d reluctantly reached into his wallet and gave me back the $20.00. Then we left for more abuse , it took 25 min To get the car from valet. We went home to ft Lauderdale very angry and extremely hungry.

    There were several things on the menu that were good - steak, sea bass, kobe sliders. There were several things that weren't good - foie gras, tuna, all sides, ceviche. There was one thing that was great - fried oreos with french vanilla ice cream. This is a pretty typical power steakhouse. Lots of flash, not a lot of substance. It was crowded and cramped. Service was nice but a little slow (which is funny because when we were done they all but broomed us out the door). There are a lot of things I might like to try on the menu but I'm not sure it's worth it. This is a see an be seen kind of place and I'm not sure you'll see me here again. I give it a slightly upturned face.

    I had the worst experience with this restaurant. My husband and I were here on vacation from D.C and prior to arriving we made reservations to come here for my birthday with friends. It was going to be a party of 4. We received a confirmation call the morning of our dinner so we were all set for the evening. My friends drove 4 hours as well to join us for dinner and for my bday celebration. In short we get to the restaurant and it is super packed. My thoughts were its fine because we have a reservation. I get to the hostess to check in to be seated and it is the exact time for our reservation and the hostess asks me for a cell phone number to reach me to text me when a table is available. I ask well how long will that be and she informs me that I will have to wait 1.5 to 2 hours. WTH, totally unacceptable. If you can call me to confirm a reservation you can call me to let me know you are running way over on wait times. I immediately left and was pissed. I have been to plenty of 5 star establishments all over the world and this was poor. Will not be returning. I may not be a face that you recognize but you never know who you are serving.

    Don;t go counting pennies, but the food here is just amazing. Make sure to get their aged beef, otherwise it is regular meat. Also, the Foie Grass is excellent, and so is the Kobe HotDog. Don't go in a hurry, even with reservations you can expect to wait.

    It always cracks me up when people knock a restaurant on South Beach for having a long wait, being too crowded/loud, and being too much a part of the "scene". If this isn't appealing to you, then South Beach probably isn't your bag. Our party of 8 absolutely loved this place after dinning there this past Friday. Steaks were perfect and the Mac-and-cheese is a must have. The in-bone fillet was well liked by many others in our party. The Sushi started was the one of the best I've tasted and the s'mores desert was heavy but fantastic. Our waitress was more than attentive and provided excellent recommendations for the "accessories" (side dishes). To be fair, we were seated on the private balcony above the front door but that was out of shear luck it was available. Definitely ask for it when weather is good (it does have a heater for cooler nights). Downstairs will be noisy and crowded (not necessarily a bad thing) while upstairs is broken into rooms and will be less noisy). Can't wait to go back next time we're in town.

    In Miami the locals call this place "prime one tweezy" its really popular with celebrities, locals, and tourists and with good reason. The drinks at the bar are unique and only fresh juices are used. Its Incredible steakhouse food but typical for miami some really interesting offerings like Kobe Hot Dogs & Bacon as others mention. All of the sides and soups are incredible and their lobster mac puts Captial Grille's to bed. A+ Try the desserts as well, you will not be dissapointed.

    Car show for the young rich and flashy. Hostesses were a little pretentious and snobby but we were seated pretty quickly although not at a table we would have liked. Our server was very nice and the drinks were quite good. Now the food. First of all. WHITE TRUFFLE FRIES. Incredible crispy French fries with white truffle and the veal well it was quite overdone. The desserts are huge and definitely worth sharing. Over all a very hip and trendy place to eat.

    I recently had the luck to dine at Prime 112 for the second time in my life. And i MUST say that this is one of the best steaks i have ever eaten. They really put it up there. I mean, i have eaten in lots of places where they cook a steak to perfection, but that's pretty much all you can do as a chef. Cook to perfection! That's where human touch cease to make an impact. Again, i have eaten by many chefs cooking to perfection. And then we have Prime one twelve. They DO cook to perfection, but what they have above that is the primary product. That's it! Absolute perfect product cooked to absolute perfection. THat's Prime One Twelve! I totally love this place and i wouldn't hesitate to come back a third time if i'm in Miami Beach again). (Would have given it five stars is the Scalloped Parmesan Potatos wouldn't have been breaded our second visit. It dried this supreme potato dish out, giving it a burned kind of flavor.) But: SPOT ON!

    My bf was very excited to take me here as he's been here a few times and it was my first time dining here. It was our last night of vacation and we wanted to make it count! Since I'm not the biggest meat eater, I was skeptical of the menu but was VERY pleasantly surprised at all the options they had - salads, seafood, tons of veggie friendly sides. We started with some fresh oysters and shrimp cocktail. The shrimps were huge and delicious! the oysters were very fresh. My bf ordered the prime rib and I had the crab crusted grouper...amazing!! I had to try to the steak since it looked so good and it exceeded my expectations. For dessert, we had the dulce de leche bread pudding and it was scrumptious! It is very pricey here but the food and service are worth it.

    Definitely can't underestimate the "see or be seen" panache of this place with multiple Rolls Royces parked out front and a building full of "beautiful people". It would be hard for a place like this to overcharge when you recognize that you are simply paying a price to be part of the scene. That said, the food and service are extraordinary. It is one of the few places this expensive where you walk away saying "that was a good deal". I had undoubtedly the best New York strip I've ever had. There is an Hawaiian Big Eye tuna appetizer of huge pieces of sashimi served in a large quantity with a delicate miso sauce. Spot on. Oyster Rockefeller were perfect. We didn't get a salad but we saw a table of five served from one salad for $18, not a bad value.we had the lobster macaroni, not my favorite dish to order, but it was very good. Dessert was deep fried Oreos with ice cream. Could have used more ice cream. Just a great night rolling with the high rollers.

  • Berta C.

    Delicious birthday dinner celebration. The service was top notch and the food was so yummy. I highly recommend trying the savory lobster bisque but it is a huge and very filling. The salads are big enough for at least for 4 people to share easily. Save room for dessert, you will definitely regret it if you don't save room. Food portions are large. We shared the creme brulee with peppermint brownies and the fried oreos. I hate the combination of mint and chocolate but these brownies were a piece of heaven. Everyone at the table loved the fried oreos.

  • Bambi N.

    This restaurant is a glorified and overhyped steak joint. The service was the best thing here but most items we ordered was inedible. 1) Salmon- dry and flavorless. Sat on top of too much butter-creamed sauce. 2) Steamed broccoli- huge florets without any taste of broccoli. Instead was stale and accompanied by a coagulated lump of "cheese". This "cheese" was absolutely horrid. Colored a light urine yellow and tasted like cardboard. 3) Tater tots- humongous. Outside was crunchy and was promising until you bit into it. Inside was a complete mush without any indication that it was made from potatoes. 4) Sea bass- farmed, not caught. That maybe better for wild fish but it meant the fish lacked flavor. As the fish is in your mouth the texture is similar but flavor does not pan-out. Weird to be eating something you know should taste a certain way and it looks the same, texture the same but its like eating your pillow. 5) Truffled fries- cooked right. Again, where is that pungency of this awesome mushroom? Temperature, salt and texture were all there but where was the taste? 6) Spinach- ok, finally something worth chewing. Not your typical mush of greens but had substance. 7) Beans and rice- another item worth chewing effort. Rice aldente with just appropriate butter. Beans were also done well. 8) Donuts- I love dessert and this was a waste of time. Sugared so much that wiping it off didn't work. Rather would have it plain as it was served with chocolate sauce and raspberry sauce. We've always heard of quantity over quality. This restaurant exemplifies that and way more.

    2.5 stars mostly because of service. I did not enjoy my experience due to a waiter named Dominick. Granted that he became "nice" after I asked for his name. To me it was candy coated and does nothing to my experience beside giving me extreme irritability from early indication of fake-abetes. After trying to get his attention numerous time. At one point we made EYE CONTACT but he turned away and act as though he did not acknowledged my call. "Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but I'm eye fucking you, so come get my order now already!" 30 minutes later, he finally came over and I asked him to recommend us ladies a good choice of wine to accompany our steaks. Simple and typical request. Can you guess his FIRST response? Flat-out and ostentatiously he said, "Depending on your price range" .............. **Bitching alert** OH the fuckery...I had to breath and control myself from whisterneffting him across the face. That was rude! I never had any waiter ask me for my price range BEFORE asking me other questions first. I am sure I will be able to manage whatever you recommend, Sir Dominick. If you have forgotten I am able to afford to dine here and not serve here. Ridiculous. Is this a new radical tactic the Myles Restaurant Group is staking to "profitize"? I would recommend sticking with humble good ol' service. Maybe I am ahead of myself and Dominick is actually a billionaire's son and is bored and wanted to serve people for fun. Regardless, please train your staff. We got tuna tartare, the rib-eye, and churrasco. Steaks were good well seasoned but not amazing. So what is all the hype about this pretentious eatery? I seriously do not understand. Oh some celebrities go here every now and then? I enjoy my steaks better in DC and the President goes there not some D-List celebs. This place to me is like Paris Hilton trying to be classy. It doesn't work.

    My husband and I had dinner at Prime 112 on 1-15-14 for my birthday. We enjoyed everything from start to finish. The hostesses at the front were charming. Our waiter, Reggie, was excellent - professional, but friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. Both of us had the 8 -ounce filet, and they were the best we have ever had! We ordered two sides - 5 cheese Mac and cheese with truffle oil, and Brussels sprouts with bacon. They were very good, but one side would have been sufficient, as they were large. The dark chocolate pudding cake was wonderful, and the Pinot noir wine went well with everything. It was a memorable birthday evening, and we highly recommend Prime 112!

    My colleague and I took a group of guests to Prime 112 for a late dinner after a company event. We had reservations at 9:30 for which we arrived on time for but the entrance was such a hot mess (way too crowded and unorganized) that by the time we pushed our way to host stand to tell them we were there it was 9:45. Not to worry though, our table wasn't anywhere near ready. I called some other colleagues that lived in South Beach and it turns out that's normal...insane. After living in NYC and multiple other huge cities all over the world I've never not been seating within 15 minutes of our reservation. We waited until about 10:20 and were seated at a lovely table and we didn't let the wait disturb our moods or our meal. Now, here's where it gets good. Loved seeing my favorite wine on the list...Newton, The Puzzle. We had 2 bottles. We ordered a couple of items from the raw bar (oysters and tuna poke), 2 salads (signature and tomato), truffled deviled eggs, 1 steak (bone in Filet), Lobster mac & cheese, plantains, broccoli rabe, & tater tots. Last but not least we had the fried oreos. INSANITY. The food was great-- our service was also great although the wine service was slow-- apparently the sommelier was super slammed. The portions are so big that it's actually not a bad value (for South Beach). All in all we left happy and stuffed. If it wasn't for the seating/entrance situation I would have given it 4 stars for sure but it's all about the first impression and the one we received left us a little disappointed.

    O stars. Never got a table. But I did eat some nasty, greasy bacon while I waited an hour and a half for a table even though I had a reservation. The crowd isn't so hot either. Have no clue what the hype is. BLT is much better.

  • N.N. R.

    Obsessed... yeah, that's the word I'd use here. I really really love this place. I love the Jay Z music that they have playing, I love the bacon as a bar snack, I love the crowd, the drinks, the food. Can you tell I'm a fan? The bar is a great place to mingle and grab a yummy drink. Their drink menu is pretty awesome, but if you opt for something else, it appears the bartenders are well versed in making a cocktail. Bacon as a bar snack - something new, but seriously, why not? It's a steak house, this bacon was surely appropriate. The food @ Prime One Twelve is delicious, as it should be. The salad that we ordered was an endless mountain (I believe it was their signature salad). All the ingredients were immensely fresh and tasty and dressing was wonderful. The Steak was cooked perfectly, as we requested it medium rare. We shared the 22oz t-bone between 3 girls, we were left with something to take home. Lobster mac & cheese, pretty much you have to order this. Chunks of lobster, delicious and perfectly cooked mac n' cheese (my mouth is watering as I type this). Phenomenal. Even the veggies are delectable treats - brussel sprouts topped with pancetta, YUM! Dessert was a surprise but we ended up w/ fried oreos on our table... THANK YOU , Prime One Twelve. Even these fried oreos were fried to perfection. I'm running out of flattering adjectives for this awesome place, really... Our server was so pleasant and so wonderful, she made the experience just that much better. We even went back to the bar after dinner for more drinks - because this place is THAT awesome. The crowd is super cool, the staff is cool, it's just awesome. Wait, did I already say that? *sigh* Obsessed.... Plain & simple, obsessed.

    I will NEVER GO HERE AGAIN! We showed up for our 7.30 reservation at 7.30pm. There was a line, so we said we had a reservation at which point about 50 angry and hungry people turned around and told us that they too had reservations, some of them were already waiting 1.5 hours! After waiting 1.5 hours we had a choice to go to the sister restaurant around the corner or keep waiting. We chose the former. The food was good but we also had great steak (just as good) at a restaurant called BLT in the same neighborhood . People were offering to pay to be sat, people were screaming at the hostess (who didn't even wince), all for the privilege to pay $100+/person....where were we- Bizzaro land? Why put your family through this? The only good thing that came of it is that we had a story to tell people when we got home....I WILL NEVER GO TO THIS RESTAURANT AGAIN! Fool me once shame on Prime, fool me twice....I think not!

    I noticed quite a few poor reviews about this restaurant lately and my wife and I have eaten there many times but not lately until tonight. We've been hitting the gym hard and dieting hard so we thought we would have a "cheating day" and check it out again to see whats up. First of all we live in Miami Beach and we know better than to go to a nationally renowned restaurant on a weekend or at prime time, so all of the folks complaining about waiting "for hours" after their reservation time on a Friday night or at 9:00 PM., well "DUH"! Its one of the most famous restaurants in Miami Beach and its small. Do they really think they are going to saunter in at 8:30 PM. and be seated immediately when there is a line on the sidewalk? OK that's my rant, now to the meal. I made the call for reservations Monday at 5:00 PM. for reservations that night at 5:30 PM. (smart) when they open for dinner. As a side note, we've walked in many times for lunch without reservations and have been seated immediately. It's the same menu, no waiting ever. We arrived for dinner 25 minutes late, (Miami time) valet parked in front of the restaurant ($40) and were graciously greeted by the host and hostesses (by name) and immediately taken to our table. There wasn't another customer in the place. Each and every waiter greeted us as we passed by. So far so good. Our waiter arrived immediately (his name is FLEX and I highly recommend him), and he knew the menu from top to bottom, inside and out. In fact, after listening to him for a moment, instead of pouring through the menu we decided just to ask his opinion on tonight's recommendations. We told him we were both working out heavy and dieting and didn't want to go crazy on fat and carbs. We started with the big eye Ahi Tuna sashimi appetizer ($36) and a 2 shrimp cocktail ($9 per shrimp, however many you want). The Ahi was simply amazing. This is Japan quality Tuna that melts in your mouth like a pad of soft butter. Worth every dollar if you appreciate ahi tuna. The two shrimp were huge, more like prawns - and delicious - perfectly cooked. My wife ordered a Mojito made with splenda and I ordered a house pinot noir. Both choices were excellent. Main courses consisted of grilled chicken for my wife (she swears its the best chicken she's ever had anywhere and even though it's a steak house she always orders the same thing). The waiter will tell you that the chicken takes 30 minutes to cook. I ordered the 8 oz. fillet minion with a side of grilled asparagus. Everything was done to perfection and just couldn't have tasted better. The home made bread basket is amazing, but we only picked as we are watching the carbs. D*mn! From the beginning to the end of the meal the service by Flex and the other staff was top of the line. Always full water glasses, good conversation when necessary, I ordered a black napkin as the white one was getting my black trousers full of lint and I was given one immediately, always attentive if we needed anything else, just splendid service, but not overbearing. The check was $250 + $50 tip + $40 up front parking for: 2 Mojitos, 2 wines, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 1 after dinner drink, and not having to wait for the car.. Expensive - yes. Expected - yes. You are going to go to the best restaurant in Miami Beach. Just like in New York, LA., Paris, or Monaco you expect to pay a lot for the most renowned dining spot. I was at the old The Oak Room at The Plaza Hotel in NYC and when the bartender found out I was from Miami Beach, he said, "do you eat at Prime One Twelve?" Will it bother you if Lebron James or Billy Joel or J.Lo or Kobe Bryant or Gloria Estefan is at the table next to you? Probably not. it's happened to us many times. BTW, when we were leaving at 7:00 (1 1/2 hours for dinner) the restaurant was packed and the line at the host station was out the door and onto the sidewalk on a Monday night in August. Like I said, if you don't want to wait, go early or go for lunch. If you don't want to spend $$$$ go to TGI Fridays up the street. If you don't want "the scene" buy a steak at Epicure and throw it on the grill. But if you want the scene in South Beach, a great meal and great service go to Prime One Twelve.

    the steaks were not bad, but if you want a killer steakhouse this is not the place i'd go. it's more a scene than a culinary experience, but it does embody miami. to LH, who thinks that anyone who rates this less than five stars is someone deficient...if you have to bring money into the equation, you probably were the guy who just bought his first BMW...a 10-year-old model, used. those who talk about money don't fucking have any.

    My wife and I dined at Prime One Twelve last Thursday night. After waiting an hour past our 7:30pm reservation we were seated with no apologies. When asked it was a crazy night because of the Miami Boat Show, we were told by staff no they always behind and late seating people, and this night was not busy at all...We ordered a Porterhouse steak for two cooked medium. They served the steak or the well side with only a few slices passable for medium...Most of it was tough. The tune poke was excellent though as well as the mac and cheese. The recommended wine was mediocre at a $150+ per bottle. Waitstaff, servers, and bartenders did a good job overall in service level.

    Like many others reviewing Prime 112, my group had a reservation only to wait in line to speak with a rude host informing us that we had to wait for a table. Our wait was over an hour and a half. There are only a few restaurants in the South Beach area worthy of a short wait and the prices this restaurant charges. Prime 112 is not one of them. Apparently, they are coasting on fleeting fame from a few pseudo-celebrity visits. When the hype settles, the product stills needs to shine; treating customers like chattel and providing them with a mediocre meal and service only shortens their sustainability.

    Prime One Twelve redefines class! If you do not show up in a Ferrari be ready to stand in line just to tip to the hostess. Prime One Twelve has upped the ante with customer service and will not sit anyone who does not tip before sitting down. The hostess will be snotty because she works at a nice restaurant and is therefore better than you. Than she will ask "what are you wearing?" This is normal just go with it. Push down any need to question whether this snotty gal ever graduated high school. I would recommend buying a Ferrari or being on a reality TV show before making a reservation, anyone in a Ferrari or on a TV show gets in right away.

    OH sweet Jesus. This place is phenomenal. The steaks are amazing, as well as the sides ( i ordered the mashed potatoes both times) and steak sauce. I literally come here every time I'm in Miami, and will continue to come here. The only issue is seating. We had a reservation made about 2 months in advance (it was a birthday dinner) and we waited two hours to be seated. I didn't notice the time too much, as we just hung out at the bar drinking champagne. If it wasn't for the champagne, I would've not been thrilled with that wait, esp. because we did make reservations. Outside of the wait, the service was great and attentive.

    5 stars on the food. Res was for 8; seated at 9. She had the 8oz fillet and the potato, I had the 14oz NY Strip and scalloped potatoes. Steaks were cooked to perfection - both medium. Spent about $225 for 2, tips drinks food. Would go again and just expect a wait, enjoy the bar while you wait.

    My friends have told me about this place for close to a year so when I first came to Miami, this was the place I was most exciting about visiting. Upon entering the general vicinity of the area, I noticed how upscale this restaurant was. Everyone inside and outside of the restaurant was well dressed, pretty/handsome, and there were even celebrities that were getting their chow on. We saw Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg walk in as we waited for our reservation. I could tell right then and there that the atmosphere and ambiance was every bit a part of the experience as the food was going to be. We waiting for about an hour and we sat down at our table when Scottie Pippen walked by. For one of my friends, this seemed like probably the greatest experience of his life considering he is a die-hard Chicago Bulls fan. I don't think I ever saw his eyes so big in my life. In terms of appetizers, I only had the cocktail shrimp (a must order in my opinion) and the stuffed tomatoes (which I grubbed off of a friend). For my entree, I ordered a New York Strip which was succulent and delish. I closed the evening like Mariano Rivera with the Fried Oreos. The food was very good but it wasn't the best that I've had at a steakhouse. The atmosphere and ambiance is the biggest reason that you are coming here. You are here to people watch and to be seen. I could have swore that someone there thought I was Dev Patel because there was someone at a table a few yards away from mine that pointed at me and everyone at the table huddled together and whispered. The waiter was a wise ass but being from New York, I actually loved it. He was also brutally honest which I respect. Despite the high prices, I had an extremely good time and would recommend this to anyone looking to enjoy themselves in Miami.

    Fell in love with this place ! It is snobby, crowded, pretentious, expensive.....SoBe Baby ! We were in town for Ultra Music and one of my girls met a music promoter who took us to Prime One. We rolled up in his Bentley, three ladies in very short skirts and very tall heels. Doors opened, champagne was popped ! He must have known someone because we were seated in less time then it took to get a drink from the bar. Great table with a view of the open kitchen. We had fun with the menu and ordered a little of everything, shrimp cocktails, oysters, kobe sliders, lobster bisque and one we all (and the table around us) got a huge laugh out of. One of my California friends ordered the Kobe Beef Hot Dog not quite knowing what is was. Well it is not your standard hot dog... It is more of kielbasa size and about 14 inches long served on a small plate and when set down in front of this petite blonde the look on her face was priceless. I shared a filet that was excellent and barely had room to have a taste of the fried Oreos ordered for the table. Great people watching, several local sports celebrities and we were introduced to a couple of the DJ's from Ultra which lead us to another adventure at Story nightclub later that night (another review :)

    Holy mother of Jesus this place is outrageously decadent. If you want to know how decedent, the bar snack consists of glasses of crispy fried bacon arranged like bread sticks in a tall glass. Those and my pinot noir could have been a satisfying meal in itself. When we were seated, we were led out the front door of the restaurant. I was like WTF? We entered through another front door on the adjacent building. I was kind of bummed that we wouldn't be in the room where we had been enjoying some old men/young chick people watching. Not to worry, there was plenty of that next door as well. In fact, The next door room was decorated just as beautifully. As I read the menu, I almost believed that someone was reading my inner thoughts. It must have been written by my twin. Every item on the list was incredible and tempting, even the salads! How the hell can people eat like this in Miami? Well, maybe it is only the old men eating, not their young companions... Ordered a 8oz filet and split the sea salt potato and asparagus. Washed it all down with a wonderful pinot noir. I stayed simple, but there are all types of butter and sauce options. There is actually a very long list of potato choices...a weakness for me. Dessert is the reason that we called it an early night. The choices were so difficult, but we finally settled on the chocolate and peanut butter smores w/vanilla ice cream. Heavenly. Next time I am in Miami, I will return!

    Great Filet, but what's the rush? We (my fiancee and I) finished our dinner in less than 1 hour. I think that's a first for a steakhouse. The good news is that we didn't wait like other yelpers experience, they sat us down right away, but the seats were not very comfortable as our table was right near the kitchen and her seat gets bumped but waiters and arriving and departing guests as they walk by. Here's what we ordered: Meatball (Special) - It was huge, and it was delicious, probably shouldn't have ordered this as appetizer. Bone in Filet Mignon - With the bone, you get so much more flavor, why doesn't more restaurant do this? Mac & Cheese - Another heavy dish, and another reason why they need to make truffle oil a fragrance or Cologne, lol Creamed Spinach - not memorable Overall, its a bit of a let down as we were expecting a fancier looking place but end up squished near a walkway. Its no bargain either. Decor: 3 out of 5 (seen better looking steakhouses in NYC) Service: 2 out of 5 (rush, rush, rush) Food: 4 out of 5 Value: 2 out of 5 (over $100 per person)

    A negative ( - 3) three star rating would be appropriate if Yelp had the feature available. Why? Let me tell you: We made reservations for 7pm, we showed up 5mins before and checked in. When were we going to be seated? None of the employees bothered to tell us except to say that we should wait by the bar, which was already packed with eager patrons waiting to get their tables. The way they will identify you is by writing down what you wear and then look you up and down to determine whether you were the person they were looking to seat. I have never ever seen this method of managing reservations. 8PM....more and more people showed up to confirm their reservations. People ahead of our party with a 6:30PM reservation were still waiting to be seated. Can you blame them for being upset about the situation? Did the hostess offer anything to compensate patrons for the delay? Absolutely not. By 8:30PM, multiple irate customers demanded to be seated, including myself. All the while, the hostess just kept flipping her reservation printouts and re-reviewing names. Heck, I was told twice that I would be next to be seated; it never happened. The man working at the reservation table was short-fused and rolled his eyes while unhappy customers wanted to know when they were going to be seated. He was rude and ignored my wife's question about when we would be seated. This type of service is absolutely unacceptable for ANY high-end restaurant. PERIOD. I wish I could have based my ratings on their food. But, the folks running the reservation desk never gave me a reason to wait anymore beyond the 2hrs that I had already wasted.

    I'd give this restaurant five stars, except for one small (well actually kind of big) thing that I'll mention at the end of the review to avoid totally turning you off to this place... My friend and I ate here on a Wednesday night and had a 8p res. We chose to eat outside, which is the one thing I would not choose to do again (more on that later). The atmosphere is great, think beach house chic and the crowd was friendly and fun. The table next to us started chatting us up as soon as we sat down, which made us feel comfortable right away. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. Here's what I ordered: Drink: Dirty Martini (forgot what it was called on the menu, but it was your basic dirty martini with green blue cheese stuffed olives). The blue cheese olives are extra ($3?) and you need to request them when ordering. The drink was pricey and strong, so I only had one. Appetizer: Tuna Sushimi. Delish! My friend ordered the deviled eggs, which were UNREAL! The best I have ever had. Reason enough to come back here. Steak - T Bone (forgot exactly which size, but the smaller one). Very flavorful. Cooked medium. Charred on the outside and pink on the inside. Yum! Sides: Brussel Sprouts with Pancetta. Tasted like they were glazed with balsamic vinaigrette. The pancetta was crispy and very flavorful. Very good. My friend ordered the lobster mac and cheese, which she said was phenomenal. The sides are very large, although they don't look it at first, but are very filling. I was already full from my appetizer, so I didn't go to crazy with sides, but the options looked delicious. We were both in a food coma, so opted out of ordering dessert. Can't speak for the vibe inside, but the bar was packed and looked very lively. Didn't see any celebs, but were seated outside, and would assume they would venture towards the inside to remain relatively incognito. I thought this place was great from the atmosphere, to the food, to the service. It is pricey. Unlike the rest of Miami/ South Florida the tip is not included in the price. Expect to spend at least $150 person, even if you order very minimally. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because at the end of our meal a gigantic roach ran across the patio and was hanging out under peoples tables. I'm from Manhattan so I'm no stranger to roaches, and this was a big one, and he was fearless. There is construction going on next door, so assuming that is a contributing factor. Also, it is Miami. I'm not going to lie, it was gross and I'm happy I saw it towards the end of my meal. I don't think it is a reflection on the cleanliness of the restaurant, more circumstantial due to the construction/ tropical city locale. That being said, next time I return...I'm eating inside!

    Prime One Twelve was obnoxiously crowded and loud. Far too sceney and the space too uncomfortable for a restaurant that charges as much as they do. In the end, the prime steak that I had was not one of the best I'd ever had. It was fine, but not superb. The side dishes were actually the highlight of the meal. Have the variously flavored fries and the macaroni and cheese.

    Approximately two weeks ago, I made a reservation for dinner for 2 at 9PM on February 2, 2014. It was to celebrate my anniversary. We arrived on time, but there was a long line to check in at the reservation desk. People were everywhere pushing and shoving other guests. I did not see any maitre d present to organize the chaotic situation. The woman ahead of us was involved in a long argument with the hostess who was insisting she did not have a reservation(which they ultimately found.) When we were finally able to check in with the hostess, she told us it would be a 20-25 minute wait for our table. The restaurant was so overcroweded getting to the bar was an impossibility. We waited at the entrance way once again being pushed and shoved by others trying to enter. After waiting 20 minutes and not receiving a text for our table, we left to dine elsewhere. Due to the crowds, I was unable to even reach the hostess desk to tell them I was leaving(not that they would have cared!!!) By 11PM, I still had not received a text that my table at 112 was ready. I called them and asked what happened to my table-the hostess said I NEVER CHECKED IN!!!!! I told her that I had and to please have someone from management call me to discuss the events of the evening. It is now Monday afternoon and I have not heard from anyone. I used to love Prime 112 and it was one of my favorite restaurants. After Saturday night, I doubt I will ever consider making a reservation there again. Obviously, they over book and do not honor them!!! Yes, the food at Prime 112 is fantastic, but th restaurant sorely lacks any type of sophistication in terms of management and common courtesy.

    Let me preface my review of Prime One Twelve with the set-up: I'm in Miami during the boat show, and I had a 7:30p reservation for three. Review: We arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes early, and there was a line out the door of people waiting to check in at the host stand. Bad sign. The inside of the restaurant was packed with people waiting for tables. Bad sign number two. But it gets worse. Order broke down in the line, with customers cutting to the front and intimidating guests who were waiting before them. If you were able to make it to the host stand (our party did not), you were informed that the restaurant would honor your reservation...four hours later. This led to some customers starting a bidding war to grease the palm of the hostess, upping bids by $100 increments. After waiting 45 minutes without even getting to the host stand, we went next door to Prime Italian (review for that is coming). What I saw was unacceptable for a restaurant. They had lost control, and were unable unable to get it back. I've dined at some of the finest restaurants in the country, and what I witnessed at Prime 112 was the worst scene I've ever seen. I will never give this restaurant group another penny.

    I love this place , I was really impressesd with the quality of the food the wonderful staff . I went for my bday about a week ago with my sister and my friend .I made the mistake of making reservations at their sister resturant ,yet they still gave us a beautiful seat outside on the patio . The lobster coleslaw blew me away and I'm not a fan of coleslaw at all. The portions of food is worth t, it you can share the fried shrimp were so big I just laughed when I saw them as if .......The bacon at the bar yummy to my tummy with my gin and tonic . For dessert of course I had to try the fried oreo's lol .So there ya have it !!!! See ya soon Miami abd congrats to the Heat on thier Championship :)

    When you go to Prime 112 you're not just going to a dinner, you are going to an experience unlike any other dining experience in Miami. The restaurant is a celeb hang-out and as a result the hostesses who work here act a little more stuck up than they normally would (some not all). I've been a big fan of 112 since its opening but the way its changed over the years is a little of a turnoff. I see how they hostess' treat non-celebs and while I am sure its the way they're trained to act by the owner, it does get ridiculous at times. I could careless where I sit in the restaurant. I've sat in the main dining hall, outside, and in the hotel. I do not need to be Frank Lucas at the Ali- Frazier fight with all eyes on me and wait for hours just o sit in the original building. As long as I sit near my reservation time and not an hour later it doesnt really matter because the food will taste the same. Now to the food. Like almost all steak houses they start you off with bread. I am a firm believer that the bread that is served tells you alot about a restaurant. Prime has a great cheese bread and a brown onion loaf. I hate onions and I refuse to eat them but I will pick apart it for pieces without onions. I have fu**ed up in the past and ate so much bread that I couldnt enjoy my steak. I usually start my dinner off with an order of 2 gigantic cocktail shrimp. The cocktail shrimp are the best in town and the sauce that it is served with is second to none. It's a must order. The crabcakes, imo, are the best in town as well. Recently, I tried the fried chicken sliders and absolutely loved them. Some say it tastes like a chicken sandwich from chik-fil-a but thats one hell of a compliment. As for the steaks, I am a bone-in-ribeye person. If its on the menu it will be ordered. I feel that those who order filet's do not have the true knife-man-ship to work with a bone-in-steak. We all know that the closer to the bone the more flavor a steak will have. Thats besides the point though. The NY Strip is one of the better cuts at this restaurant. I am not a filet mignon type of guy so I cannot comment on it but my friends have said other steakhouses have better filets. I usually order my steak medium well but closer to the medium side (I know, I know, steak should be ordered medium or less). When the steak is cooked to the right temperature there is not many places that could hold a candle to 112. The quality of the meat is so flavorful and the simplicity of how they char the steak is uncanny. Now, in the past I could say that no matter what the steaks would taste the same. However, the last few times I've been its been hit or miss. Either the steak is cooked perfectly or it is overcooked. Maybe thats on me for ordering medium well but If you pay such a hefty price it should be perfect. The lobster mac and cheese is a perfect pairing to go along with the steak of choice. It's a generous portion of lobster with the right mix of cheese in the mac. The garlic mashed is also a great selection as the smoothness of the mash compliments each bite of steak. I wish they would add broccoli as a side dish. I have tried the majority of the desserts and must say that I wish there was a better selection. The most popular is the fried oreos. There good but not great (tony the tiger voice). The creme brulee is up there in terms of being the best. My whole beef is I wish there was a chocolate cake or souffle or molten cake. Now for my rating, on food alone I give it 4.5 stars. 5 stars if the service and food is more consistent as it should be. Places better than: Smith and Wollensky, Ruth Chris, Mortons, Flemings, Capital Grille, Chophouse, PM, The Forge Places comparable if not better: Gotham Steak, Red the Steakhouse, STK

    Everything was perfect. The service, the food, the atmosphere. All great. The outside setting is beautiful and perfect for a romantic date. The cheesecake is the best I've had. Salad portions are huge and for the whole table. Too much for just two people but for a small gathering would be great. If you're in Miami Beach, it's a must.

    I have eaten here many times, and I am a big fan. But if you are considering going to this place, consider the following so you can have an wonderful night. 1. make reservations generally two weeks ahead of time for weekday nights, and 4 weeks for Friday / Saturday nights. They are also cool about it that they call to confirm your reservations with you. Be prompt and on time for your reservation, with how busy this restaurant gets, they are inclined to give your reservation to someone else quick - real estate in the restaurant is prime (no pun intended). 2. Come a bit dressed up. No, not your tuxedo, but the jacket that makes you think that it'll get you laid. If you don't care about your appearance, then come with your $100K watch or a big ring. The place is sceney, and at times there are famous people there. 3. If you choose to stand by the bar, be super nice and generous to the bartenders. That's not going to go well with your insecure g/f because the bartenders are very attractive. But your generosity will assure you prompt attention by the same bartenders as they are being yelled at by the mad crowd in front of the packed bar, as you are being humbly presented your drinks while standing in the back. 4. Come hungry. I made a big mistake having a big and late lunch and then coming to this restaurant. Believe in sharing with whomever you're there with. 5. Fame - if you see anyone famous, leave them alone, let them eat in peace. I had the privilege of drinking with few, they really want to be left alone when they are dinning. If you want to annoy them for an autograph, do it after dinner outside of the restaurant. 6. Come with money - for two, and to have a great time expect to spend $200 without alcohol and $325 and more with liquor or wine. Highly recommend the Kobe beef sliders, devil caviar egg, porterhouse for two. If you have room, fried Oreo. Every time I come to Miami, I make an effort to come for one night - well worth it!

    The food is always top notch quality. Never had a bad meal at Prime One Twelve or across the street at Prime Italia. I generally order from the Prime One Twelve menu even when dining at Italia. The staff is always accommodating polite and cordial even sometimes in the midst of the hectic chaos of personalities that arrive and fill the place. Portions are large and I tend to share everything family style always starting with the special Ahi Poke. (Not the appetizer on the menu but the special). The strip and a filet pre cut makes for easing sharing. If you did your sit ups and ran 5 miles that day maybe treat yourself to the amazing sinful mac and cheese. While you are at it might as well finish yourself off with the fried oreos.

    We had a huge group of 17 so we called the day before for reservations. They had our candlelit table setup outside which was nice touch. Our waiter David was great--friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and great memory! The lobster bisque was delicious! The only downside: i thought some of the sides were way too salty and...so heavy. Made my totally sleepy after! Also, my medium-well steak was a bit too charred for my taste. bleh.

    When you are going to Prime 112 it is best to have someone on hand that is willing to pay the bill. We ordered Stone IPAs and sat at the bar waiting for our table for awhile. We did have reservations so that was annoying but at least they have bacon instead of peanuts. If I am given an option, I will always choose a rib eye bone-in steak. I want it medium-rare but closer to rare and I want it to be so juicy that it melts in my mouth. I also want to eat my steak with creamy mashed potatoes and preferably asparagus. The meal o' the Gods. Prime 112 did not disappoint me. My steak was amazing. Everything was so big you would think they were feeding the Flintstones. The only reason I didn't give it the full five stars is because the price and the fact that we had to wait regardless of our reservation... That and the hostesses were kinda snotty..

    The Lugers of Miami, Over-Rated!!! I went her twice over a 2 year time frame. Both times it was disappointing. I wonder what people think is good food? This place was awful. The steak was dry, not seasoned, the prices are high, the place is crowded, and the seating is awful. Other than that I have to complaints! The crowd is great. The scene is great. Sport Cars, Roll's Royces, that is what this place is about. The food, horrible, I would never go again. I believe sometimes people get caught up in big names, and it makes you think the food is good, when it really isn't. Either that, or 90% of the population were born with bad taste buds, and you can put cr*p on a plate, and they will think it is good.

    Saved my 200th review for the kind of place that everyone should save up for to go at least once. Prime 112 is definitely a trendy, see-and-be-seen Scene. Celebrities, athletes, rich people, and regular people trying to get a peek at that world... everyone and anyone. And that's also the reason while there will be a long wait to be seated unless you happen to have the owner on speed dial (and even then, he has a story of having to deny Shaq a quick table once because the place was so packed.) We waited for a special occasion to check this place out... made reservations... and it was definitely memorable. Started out with the deviled eggs (ooooomg), then we got a steak and the short ribs. I know, you're sitting there shaking your head, asking why I didn't get a steak. I'm not a HUGE steak fan... and I wanted to leave space to try all sorts of other things. Also got a side of the truffle mac and cheese... and I'll just say that I could've eaten 4 servings of it!! Finished off the evening with fried oreos. While I've had fried oreos before, and even made them at home, I ordered them... and they hit the spot! While we didn't see any celebrities this time around... the meal and evening were perfect.

    The food here is amazing but the wait is atrocious. We made a reservation a month and a half ahead of time, it was for 8pm on a Saturday. We didn't get seated until about 10:30pm!!!! There were a couple of pro athletes there that night and I don't doubt that contributed to our reservation push back. The bar was SUPER CROWDED so that wasn't much of a consolation. When we finally got seated we got a horrible table right by the bar and people who were hanging around the bar kept leaning against our table. It was obnoxious, but it was just that crowded in there. We finally got our menus, the server was very professional. We ordered the chopped salad and the pan seared divers scallops with short ribs as appetizers. These were possibly the best things I've ever ate. What made the salad so special was probably the bacon, they make their own thick cut delicious bacon! The scallops were AMAZING, I regretted that I didn't just get that as my meal 'cause they were just that good. I order the 6oz. Fillet Mignon as an entree with mashed potatoes and lobster mac and cheese. These were good, but I'm not a huge steak fan and didn't think the actual meal came close to the appetizer. The food is def worth going back for, given the super high prices and the crowd I'm not sure if it's worth it. It was hard to rate because the food is 4 stars, but the experience is more like a 2.

    I would have loved to write a review of the food but we ended up leaving soon after walking in. After making a reservation, putting a hold on a credit card for the reservation (and being warned we would be charged per person should we not show up) we showed up for our reservation, only to be told we would have to wait at least an hour for our table. For restaurant this popular, they need to learn to manage expectations and reservations.

    I have a very high opinion of myself. So while it was annoying that my friends and I had to wait an hour after making a 10:30p reservation on Saturday night, it made me feel good that Alonzo Morning had to wait at least 20 minutes too. Prime 112 is the place you take to impress a hot girl, or to party with good friends. However, for starters prepare them for the wait. Not only is the place packed on weekend and the owner actively seeks celebrity business, because the hostess will personally look for you when the table is ready she will spend a lot of time looking for parties who have already left in frustration. It is a very inefficient system which of course adds time to your wait. Once you sit down, the service does improve. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. The wine list is madness, even more than Quattro's. Plan to spend at least $100 on a decent bottle of wine. We ordered a BV cab blend that had to be marked up 300%. It was tasty, just caveat emptor. I didn't bother with the appetizers because I am not a seafood guy, but my friend says the crab cake is excellent. We also ordered the truffled mac and cheese, which was insanely rich. Four bites were enough to fill my mouth with yumminess. You must order this, you won't be sorry. My buddies and I all ordered the filet, and it was quite good. One complaint was that the outside was more charred than he expected. As a veteran of Smith and Wolesky's (we cook our steaks in hell), I didn't mind it so much. All agreed the inside had tons of flavor, and we were all in a coma after consumming the 12oz. We ordered the mashed sweet potatoes as a side, and it was equally good. For dessert we tried the fried oreos. They tasted like New Orleans beignets with a soft Oreo in the middle. Unique and very good. If you are in South Beach and you want a good scene with a quality meal attached, Prime 112 is for you. But it ain't cheap.

    Amazing steak. Amazing sides. Total South Beach scene (if you're into that). But the highlight of the evening? Deep fried red velvet cupcakes that were off the menu. They were orgasmic. And probably 5,000 calories. Worth every one!

    I'm a fan of this place. The atmosphere here is dimmed and intimate, which is great for dates or catching up with old friends. The meatball appetizer here is delicious.

    2 years ago after leaving Miami after college I hadnt been back in a few years and we had one night to stay at the beach on our way back from a wedding in Islamorada -I wanted to make sure we picked the perfect place. I struggled with where to go and I had a lot of reservations about going to Prime One Twelve. It was recommended to me by several people but also others had warned that it was pertencious and like a lot of resturants in Miami- over rated. I decided that despite a few warnings we were just going to go- I mean they have bacon on the bar instead of bar nuts- how bad could this place be! I am SO GLAD that chose to have dinner here. It was amazing- the drinks were fantastic- great wine list. We started with a drink at the bar and of course had some of the bacon- which was everything we hoped for! The place was packed (it is busy everynight) and Sunday was no exception. The menu is amazing- they have a lot to chose from and everything looked great. We started with the Short Ribs appetizer (amazing)! I had got the filet and they have amazing sauces and butters that you can select to go with them- I had the goat cheese one that was fantastic. My husband got the kobe beef hotdog- it was def picture worthy- we died when it came out- it was basically the width of the table. The only complaint I have is I will not be rushed through a meal- our server was definietly trying to move things a long quickly but I pushed back and we took our time and we had a fantastic time and meal. Next time we stay in South Beach there isnt a question that we will be eating at Prime One Twelve

    Yum!!! The food is great. I would recommend going w a couple of people because they do have "family style@ options. You do want to make a reservation... And if with a reservation plan to wait at the bar for a bit before your table is ready... But if you want a fun and yummy food experience- I would def recommend going here.

  • Sara S.

    The food is great, the service is awful. I've been there a few times and know to expect a bit of a wait, but this last time was ridiculous! We had a 9:00 reservation and by 10:30 still hadn't been seated. We finally went up to complain and were told that they would seat us right away. They did, but it was outside basically in the alley. My menu actually was blown out of my hands. After ten minutes, we were finally reseated inside. Had we not complained we probably would have waited until midnight for a table. I really don't ever need to go back. Yes the food is good, but there are a lot of other placed that you can get excellent food and service.

    I will not return. It must be a tourist spot. To begin, I have eaten at most great steakhouses in U.S cities (I'm a steakaholic, have eaten at 4 different prime steakhouses in 1 week and yes, I may have a heart attack at a young age). The good: Overall, my NY steak was very good. I wasn't blown away. The rest of their food was also good. The cost was what I expected and on par with most prime steakhouses. No complaints there. The bad: Arrived at 9:45pm for our 10:30pm reservation, seated at 11:40pm...and that's only after bitching multiple times that my wife was pregnant, couldn't stay on her feet much longer, and needed to eat. Some poor people were seated at 10pm for their 7pm reservation. This a greed, incompetence, or a combination. Most likely greed. The entire place was packed. I felt like I was at a college bar and could hardly move around. This is not an exaggeration. Our waiter was average at best. There are plenty of steakhouses to go to with great food and excellent service who will honor your reservation. NOT EVEN WORTH GREASING THE MAITRE D'S PALM. Did I mention I won't be returning?

    Real: 2.25S Food: 3S Ambiance: 2S Service: 2S My girlfriend made reservations for us way before weeks before we arrived in Miami. We stayed at a vacation rental 10mins walking distance from Prime 112. We can the day of, forgot which day..I think Saturday, 1 hour before and there was a crazy herd crowding around the receptionist like they were handing out government cheese. We checked-in and they said 45-mins. So we opted to go to the bar and get a drink...that was so full we couldn't get the bartender's attention. So we opted to go back to the reception area and wait instead. Upon our arrival, I examined everyone's faces and saw nothing but frustration and desperation. After talking to a few couples, some who have come back here year, after year and some for the first time like us, we discovered everyone was waiting for 1.5+ hours without being seated. They were also informed the wait was 45minutes. My girl wanted to wait..but I told her we should go somewhere else for dinner and try to comeback another day...not during peak period. They really should be up front with customers that the wait is more than 1.5hours WITH A RESERVATION...DON'T LIE....DON'T SAY YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN EVERYONE IS WAITING FOR 1.5+ HOURS. We came back on a Tuesday night, with reservation, 30minutes early...around 545pm. No crazy line and we were seated immediately. Thank the steak gods!!! They sat at us very close to the kitchen, where our waiter happen to station himself the entire time. His eyes on us as if we were going to dine-n-ditch. I was looking at the menu and he kept bothering us to rush us. To end a long story, I couldn't really enjoy my $200 meal because him LITERALLY standing next to our table the entire time and his eyes might as well be on my steak. The steak was a steak...nothing fancy. This place is pure hype. A place I do not crave for the food or relish the service. Prime 112? More lke Forget 112.

    Waited over an hour for our table when we had a reservation. The staff was very rude especially the manager. Food was mediocre at best and way over priced. Never again coming here.

    Fucking amazing!!! Steak tartare was delish; first time for me having it. I ordered the wild salmon that came with mash potatoes and asparagus. My friends dish was perfection---lump crab crusted grouper on a bed of spinach with horseradish sauce. Fucking perfection; I was upset that I didn't order that. OMG!!! The service wasn't anything amazing but it wasn't bad either. A must while in Miami. And its really not that expensive. $70 with tip for glass of wine, app, and entree.

    Ugh. I really wanted to like this place. The good: The steak! We had the porterhouse for 2. It was cooked perfectly medium rare as ordered. Raw/seafood bar was excellent as well. Oysters, Alaskan crab, shrimp cocktail were great too. Cocktails were solid. Key lime pie was good (not great.) The bad: Maybe it's my fault for coming on a weekday, but I thought that this place was supposed to have some sort of Miami scene happening. Instead, it was just a bunch of doughy middle-aged guys doing their thing like at any other steakhouse. I mean, I could have been at a Capital Grille in Stamford, CT or Providence, RI. Coming down to Miami from NY, you expect an entertaining crowd. That's why you come to Miami. But nope, just pudgy, reasonably affluent, balding middle aged guys. And a few leathery women who could have been Real Housewives. Lame. Minus one star. The service: Our waitress sucked. Not in the kind of inattentive, slightly incompetent way that servers generally are less than awesome in Miami. Sucked as in tried to ruin our meal. Example: trying to get us to order accessory butter, sauces, and other gunk to destroy a perfectly good steak. I acquiesced and got some truffle butter on the side. It was disgusting. I'd of rather had some old guys toes in my mouth. Thank god it didn't go directly on and ruin the $98 dollar steak. And then there were the constant, standoffish attempts to up sell everything on the menu: Yes, I understand you have $50 a piece stone crab claws. Yes, I'm sure they're awesome. No, I don't want them. We went to Joe's last night. No, I want my martini with normal gin. I don't need some horseshit super premium variety. No, I think with the 48 ounce steak, we don't need more than one $15 side for two people. Please don't give me that appalled look, I've eaten a lot of meals at better and more expensive restaurants than this one - I think I'll be OK with my menu decisions. Minus two stars. (Note: the bussers were totally nice guys.) Here's my final verdict: great steak and seafood that wasn't quite ruined by a lame scene, bad service, and that Miami thing of a place and people trying too hard, not succeeding, and just ending up being totally retarded. If you have a Keens/Luger/Sparks/Strip House in your neck of the woods, stick to that. Miami, I hate to say it, this is probably the place you deserve.

    It's not cheap - but you're not eating here if you're not planning on going all out. Portions are huge. The salads looked like mountains, and pretty much everything is built to share. A shrimp cocktail is $9 per shrimp, but those were the biggest shrimps I've ever eaten. Lol. Server guy was attentive and friendly. He did the typical upsell on expensive appetizers and things which was typical of pretty much every place we ate at in Miami. Normally I hate that, but I guess that's just how they roll out there. Side note, one of the hostesses looked straight up like Sofia Vergara, oh man. Oh right, everything we ordered (shrimps, truffle mac, NY strip steak, potatoes, etc.) was pretty good.

    The wife and I went out to dinner in the design district, go check that place out it is awesome. We got back to the beach and wanted a glass of wine and dessert, this place had some great choices. We were quickly sat outside, the place was packed and there were a lot of people waiting at 9:30 on a Tuesday night. Our waiter James V, greeted us quickly and we told him that we were just doing dessert. That was the end of our service. We ordered the bread pudding which give this rating it's two stars. It was phenomenal. I am not sure if James was disappointed we took up a table for a 50.00 tab or he was just having a bad night. He was not very attentive and we got the impression that we were just a bother. I not going to waste my time with a long review. If you are going just for dessert you may be treated poorly

  • Leslie W.

    Food and service from our waiter Kyle were EXCELLENT, but waiting nearly an hour and a half with a RESERVATION is absolutely unacceptable. The host stand was a total clusterF and so was the bar (I felt sorry for all the tables in that area). Felt like being in line for a nightclub rather than an upscale restaurant. There is MUCH room for improvement in the way reservations are handled and I would not go back because of it.

  • Gary S.

    One of the best steakhouse's I have been at and not over pricey. I had truffle oil fries, filet Mignon with cappuccino and fried Oreos to top it off. Paid less than 100$. Must try the fried Oreos leave some room. Try their bacon strips by the bar.

  • Christopher L.

    Without a doubt I always go to Prime One Twelve every trip to South Beach. Great atmosphere, fantastic salads and appetizers. You can never go wrong with a steak, great taste and quality. Recommendation: Ask for the main seating area. Last year they opened a dining area adjacent to the main area. These tables lack the excitement and energy of the main area. Always make reservations well in advance. Reservations mean that your wait will be considerably less than if try to do a "walk in".

    I initially reviewed this place after stopping by for a few drinks, but not having dined here. Well I came back here a few months after my review for the full dining experience. My expectations couldn't have been higher and this restaurant couldn't have surpassed my expectations any further than it did. First off, the atmosphere at the restaurant is what I would consider perfect. Trendy, cool and people having a great time. I ordered shrimp cocktail, a t-bone steak and rum soaked plantains. I was blown away when I saw rum soaked plantains on the menu given that I'm Jamaican. The steak was the best steak I've ever had. I've been to Delfrisco's in NYC, Ruth's Chris and some other notable places, but this steak exceeded all I've ever tasted. The rum soaked plantains were just as delicious as they sound and the shrimp cocktail was delicious. This place literally couldn't be more awesome and now holds the reigns as my favorite restaurant. I will be coming here every time I go to Miami and I've made numerous recommendations to others who've gone. All have come back with the same result, this place is amazing.

    Excellent dinner this evening at the bar. Bartender was great with her service too - especially with a very busy bar. Highly recommend this place! I also went back three days later. Same situation. Busy bar, great attentive staff. This time I had the sea bass entree. It was exceptional!!

  • Rob T.

    Loved this place! Open late, great vibe and very attentive service. We started with appetizers, I had the tomato bisque with the mini grilled cheese sandwich and my date had the lobster bisque. My soup was phenomenal and could serve as a meal on its own. The lobster bisque was even better, I'm told, and contained approximately an entire lobster in the bowl. We then shared a T-bone steak for dinner with a baked potato and giant tomatoes stuffed with spinach and parmesan. Our dry aged steak was cooked perfectly and the flavor was fantastic. Both of the sides were excellent as well. We had absolutely no room for dessert, but I did see that the table next to us ordered a slice of cheesecake that looked amazing and was absolutely huge. Overall, a perfect spot for a late night dinner, romantic or just casual.

  • Sam A.

    This is one of the best steakhouses I've been to. Everything we tried was fantastic, from the cheddar rolls and lobster Mac, to the bone in rib eye. If you want an unforgettable dinner or lunch experience in Miami, this is the spot.

  • Anie D.

    I was a bit apprehensive on coming here for my birthday after hearing bad reviews on their service and waiting times. However, I still decided to make a reservation and I am glad I did. We had a reservation for 5:00 which is when it opens so minimal waiting time. The only reason we waited was because the staff was in a meeting, but it was no more than a 15 minute wait. Once we were seated our waiter was very friendly and checked on us frequently. One thing I liked was that as soon as we were done with our appetizers they began to clear the table and bring out the dinner right away. The same was done once we were done with dinner and ready for dessert Their portions for the sides are huge. They are definitely meant to be shared. We had the kobe meatball as the appetizer, the filet mignon, the lobster mac and cheese, and the fried oreos. Everything was delicious.

    This place is completely disorganized! If you have reservations when it rains , you may as well go elsewhere. Our reservation at 9 pm never got seated. There had to be a fire code issue as you couldn't even move In the restaurant while waiting with all the other individuals all facing same dilemma. Worst experience ever and customer service just kept saying "your coming up" after waiting over an hour. I've lived in south Florida for over 15 years and this place isn't worth the hassle. 2nd time this has occurred

  • Lily M.

    I am not sure where to start with this review because I have mixed feelings. Therefore, I am going to separate my review based on customer service and then on the food. The Service... My friends and I had a reservation at 10:30pm on a Saturday night. We got there exactly at 10:30pm thinking our table would be waiting on us, and that's when we discovered that this dining experience would be like none other that we've ever experienced before. There was a worker outside yelling at everyone to get in line, regardless of if you had reservations or not. The line was outside of the door. As we waited in line questioning what kind of circus show we were taken apart in, the time just went on and on. I figured that going to a steakhouse with prices as such, we would be seated within a timely manner of our reservation time and treated with respect. But instead, we were yelled at to wait in line. 30 minutes after waiting in line (thank goodness we made it in the doorway right before the rain started), we were at the host/hostess desk to check in. We were then told that our wait for a table would be 45 minutes. As we looked puzzled, the host told us that, "your reservation means you will get a table. It doesn't mean that you will be seated at the time of your reservation." This is absolutely insane to me. I've dined at many nice restaurants, and never have I experienced such mediocrity. Since we had already waited 30 minutes in line to check in, we figured that we may as well stay and continue to be disrespected with below par customer service and bad attitudes from the workers walking back and forth. One hour and two drinks later, we were finally called to be seated. The only bad thing was that we were handed umbrellas because we had to walk to the building next door to actually be seated! As we walked next door in the rain, all I could think about was how bad the service was. If you care about how you are treated and don't want to spend a load of money on horrible customer service, I urge you not to come here. If you don't care how you are treated and have hours and hours to waste, you should give it a shot. The Food... Two hours into our visit at Prime 112, we were provided with complimentary bread that was warm and very good. I had to stop myself from eating the whole basket. I ordered the Jumbo Lump Crab Crusted Grouper. The crab was great; however, the sauce mixed in with the fish had a weird aftertaste that I didn't love. This was an ok dish, but it wouldn't be a meal I would want to order again. We also ordered Lobster Mac and Cheese for the table, and it was devine. I do wish that the mac and cheese would have been served a little hotter so that the cheese would have been melted more, but regardless, it was still delicious. One of my friends ordered the King Salmon, and I did enjoy tasting this a lot more than the Grouper that I ordered. My other friend ordered the 8oz Filet Mignon, and I had a bit of that too. I am not a steak eater, so my opinion shouldn't be granted here, but I can definitely say that I've had better. For dessert, we ordered the Doughnuts, which were good when dipped in the sauces that they provided. Finally, at 2am, we got up to leave Prime 112 nice and stuffed. What I do it again? Absolutely not! Even though our waitress was very nice, the first impression of this place with the host and hostesses ruined it for me. Do I recommend it? Perhaps, if one can get an early reservation or to someone that has a lot of time to waste. I would rather take my $250 dinner bill somewhere where it's actually appreciated.

    I will never go here again nor will I ever recommend this restaurant to anyone. We had a 7:15pm reservation. Got there at 7:00pm, saw a huge line and figured we'd surpass it and just go up to the host since we had a reservation. When we got to the front, the host informed us that the long line was for people checking in for their reservations. So, we walked to the end of the line. It took about 15 min to get to the front and when we got to there around 7:15pm, the host told us that they were running 30 minutes behind and told us that they would text us when our table was ready. So, we went across the street to Prime Italian to grab a drink. At around 8pm, one member of our party walked back over to check on the status of our table. In order to do this, he had to get back in line! 10 minutes later he got to the front and they told us that our table would be ready shortly. We finally sat down at 8:15 and it took about 10 minutes before our waitress showed up. When she stopped by we ordered a bottle of wine immediately. 20 minutes later, our wine came. When she delivered the wine we jumped on the opportunity to order some appetizers because we didn't know when we would see her again. Before the salads came out we flagged her down and ordered dinner. Three out of the four of us ordered wedge salads. These salads were three times the size of a side salad and two times the size of an entree salad. You would have thought that the waitress would have had the good sense to inform us that these salads were XL and told us to split one. Luckily I ordered an appetizer for dinner as did my sister. The men ordered a steak dish and a shrimp dish and split it. All of these meals were completely average. When the bill came we felt robbed and just wanted to get out of there. The next morning we were all filled with regret and remorse...spending the amount that we did on a below average dinner! From one yelper looking out for another...avoid this place at all costs. There are SO many better restaurants in Miami that are worth your time and money.

    Happy 29th bday to meeee My BFF(who's also a bartender here) took me out to dinner and it was worth every single shiny penny. Peach Ciroc & lemonade- cool, crisp, and refreshing: yelp.com/biz_photos/OVW6… Raw Oysters accompanied with horseradish, vinegar & hot sauce- tasty & went down smoothly: yelp.com/biz_photos/OVW6… I ordered the chicken & waffles- came with hot sauce & syrup. Chicken was boneless and melted in my mouth. the waffle was sweet and soft: yelp.com/biz_photos/OVW6… My friend ordered the steak. Came with mashed potatoes and peppercorn gravy. So DELICIOUS(and I don't eat steak): yelp.com/biz_photos/OVW6… My other friend ordered the salmon: yelp.com/biz_photos/OVW6… I would defiantly recommend dining here. Everything we ordered was amazing. The service is superb, the other patrons were friendly, the atmosphere was exceptional. A couple also got engaged. Such a beautiful moment to experience. *If you go to the bar, ask for Antonia. She's awesome just like the rest of them.

    So... I've been wanting to come here for a few years... For the past four years, I've been visiting Miami. My BF and I came on Columbus Day 2013. After reading reviews, we decided to show up early on a Monday at 6:30pm. My BF and I DO NOT tolerate that pretentious BS that Sobe/this restaurant is infamous for. I made reservations 1 week before we planned to dine. Someone from Prime called the morning of to confirm we were still coming. I advised we would be there at the said time. Once we got there, we were seated right away. No line for the hostesses and no overcrowding at the bar. In fact, the waitstaff were the ones crowding near the kitchen with nothing to do... When we first arrived we were 1 out of 3 couples dining since it was so early. We were greeted by our waiter, brought ice water, and he took our drink orders. I had a simple Cosmo which was pretty strong and good! A little after that the warm bread was brought to our table. I tried them all, and they were pretty good. The cheese bread reminded me of cheezits! We provided our appetizer and entree orders simultaneously. I ordered 3 east coast oysters (appetizer), 8 oz filet mignon, and lobster mac. My BF ordered the NY Strip and the loaded baked potato. My BF liked his steak, but said it was over-cooked. I had a few bites of his potato, and I thought that was pretty good. The bacon bits (I mean chunks) were in abundance and huge! They were more chewy than I liked, but still good. My steak, however, was cooked perfectly medium! The filet was a little charred on the outside, but the inside was delicious! I wasn't too crazy about the lobster mac... The lobster bits in the lobster mac were too chewy for my taste... OH and the oysters were superb! Perfectly shucked and came with outstanding accompaniments. All in all, it was a good experience. The service was great and food was good, but wasn't the best thing I'd ever had... If you just want to experience the food without the waiting BS, go around 7 or 730. As we were leaving the place was full, but there wasn't any overcrowding in the waiting area or the bar. If you want to go for the scene, by all means make reservations for 9pm on a Friday or Saturday night...

    The food was ALL amazing. The filet was perfect and so yummy with the peppercorn sauce. The truffle Mac and Cheese is amazing and must have. My party shared the classic salad that fed 4 of us and we still had leftovers!! My friend got the chicken and waffles and it beats any place I've ever been too. This Cali girl will definitely be coming back!!

    We made a reservation for 7:30 at this restaurant. When we arrived at 7:15, we noticed a line out the door and down the block. We went in and they told us this was the line for check in for all reservations. We eventually check-in by 8:00. We were seated at 10:00pm, 2 and a half hours after our reservation! If you want to eat here, expect to wait at least 2 hours after you check in at your reservation time. Although this is a "popular" spot, we did not spot any celebrities inside or outside the restaurant either. You've been warned. None of their food is worth the wait.

    The bf and I ate at Prime 112 on a Friday night, with a 7pm reservation. We did not get to check out the interior, because we preferred to eat outside to enjoy the warm Miami breeze and people watch. Our dinner got off to a shaky start, literally. Our table was wobbly to the point that my apple martini spilled all over the place when the waiter put the bread basket down. We were promptly moved to another table, but were met with the same shaky table predicament. Fortunately, this time they were able to fix the problem with a leveler. I didn't mind the move so much, but I would think that for such a swanky restaurant, they'd check the tables prior to opening the area up to diners. Now on the food. The bread basket consisted of different types of bread, but my favorite was the cheesy biscuit. Amazing! I ordered the filet mignon with the Prime 112 steak sauce, and a side of the white truffle fries. The bf ordered the short ribs and a side of the truffle mac and cheese. I ordered my filet medium. but it came out more like medium well. Luckily, it was seasoned beautifully, and I really enjoyed it. The steak sauce was nothing spectacular, but I had no complaints about it. My bf's short ribs were amazingly tender, and cut like butter with just a fork. I love anything with truffles, so the fries and the mac left me fully satisfied. Keep in the mind, the sides are large enough for 3-4 people. The menu offers seafood, Kobe steaks for a higher price, and desserts. Unfortunately, the bf and I were too stuffed to check out the desserts. The apple martinis here were delicious. The service was so-so. I had different waiters take my order, give us the check, and so on. It wasn't slow enough to put me in a bad mood, and I understand that we dined on a busy weekend night. All in all, I would love to come back and try different steaks and sides. Come here expecting an elegant environment and clientele, and good but not great food and service. Also, expect to drop at least $100 per person. In a place where restaurants are plentiful and choosing a place to have dinner was hard, I don't regret our decision to dine here at all, and I will return here on my next visit to South Beach.

    First off, I agree that reservations are needed. Now for food This place isn't cheap, so I had high expectations. It's known for steak, so steak was what I wanted. I went with three others and total for the table we ordered a 14oz ny strip, 8 oz filet, garlic mash, spinach Parmesan stuffed tomatoes, lobster Mac and cheese and sautéed broccoli. For drinks we had two watermelon martini a a cucumber martini and some other crazy drink I don't remember. Total cost was $270 not including tip. So yeah, not cheap. I've had better steaks at Morton's or almost anywhere else. The strip had a piece of gristle in it running the whole length and the filet was ordered medium, but was dry as if it were well done. Not what I expected from $50+ cuts of beef. They were just ok. The sides were decent, te best being the garlic mash believe it or not. The spinach and Parmesan stuffed tomatoes should have been called croutons sprinkled with cheese and a few shreds of spinach for color. Honestly, not great. The lobster Mac was kinda tasteless. Yes a lot of cheese but that's about it, very one note. The garlic mash was tasty but let's be honest, it was a $14 bowl of mashed potatoes. The broccoli was good but again, $14 for broccoli not much different than whT I make at home. Dessert we had the fried Oreos which should have been called batter balls with some Oreo in it. I could taste only batter. Service was eh. The waiter looked pissed that we were sharing steaks. But nothing to complain about overall Save your money, or go spend it somewhere with seriously good beef and food. This place is overrated and I won't be back.

    I would give this place four stars if it wasn't for the waiters, because the food is fantastic. I have been here three times, once with friends, once with a date, and once with a date and friends. If you are with a date, the waiter will strongly recommend the special (usually some kind of seafood appetizer). Even if you say you don't want the special, the waiter will insist it is really good and encourage your date to get it. Your date will then change their order and you get the bill and "market price" ends up being $70 for a single crab claw that you can get at the supermarket for like $8. Are you going to tell your date "hey, thats too expensive don't get that it makes no sense"? Of course not, thats why the scam works. What is unacceptable is that the waiters are persistent and really try to jam you. Additionally, if your order is similar to a special, they might bring you the special instead which is 3x the price for no reason, for example the allegedly amazing tuna "fedexed this morning from Japan". I have had good tuna from Japan, this is not it. If you try to contest what they bring you or simply tell them you dont want the special, they will keep being pushy and try to embarrass you in front of your date. This is unacceptable. The two other times I went, I went with friends who knew what was going on. The wait staff attempted the same scamming and I was very terse and insistent and didn't let them do it. The result is a great meal. One big tip as well is to not order too much because the portions are utterly humungous. Usually one serving of something is enough for 2-3 people, so if a waiter encourages you and your 100lb date to get two steaks, two appetizers, two sides, and two deserts, thats basically enough for 4-5 people who aren't obese. I split the prime rib and a side with a guy friend of mine one Sunday and it was the perfect amount of food for me to be completely full but not want to puke after.

    I can't even comment on the food because this place was so poorly organized that I couldn't even get a table, despite having made a reservation months in advance. It took nearly two hours for my car to be valeted and to CHECK IN to tell them that I had a reservation, and then they wanted me to wait an additional hour or so for the table to be ready. Meanwhile, the famous person behind me walked up to the desk and got a table right away. No regard for paying customers, and reservations mean nothing. Don't give this place your money.

    I wanna give this restaurant 5 stars so bad but the wait for the table was annoying. Almost two hour wait even with reservations is nonsense. Thankfully the bar had amazing drinks and bacon to keep you occupied. Food is by far the best I've ever had. I recommend: creamed spinach, cheddar grits, swordfish and for dessert fried Oreos and red velvet cupcake. Soooo yummy! You will leave there full and very happy.

    Prime 112 is the worst restaurant I've ever been to. We waited for 1.5 hours after having a reservation and the front door staff had no remorse. It is a fire hazard and I will never be back.

    I booked my reservation for a night out with my wife about a two weeks in advance of my visit for 9:30 on a Saturday night. Since getting to this restaurant is over an hour drive for me, I called twice to confirm my reservation and they even called me in the afternoon of my reservation to confirm with me. I arrived at 9:30 for my reservation and was shocked with what I saw. They place was so crowded, it was difficult to get to the hostess check in. When I made my way to the front, I was greated by very rude hostesses who advised me that it would be at least another hour wait. For such an expensive and supposedly nice restaurant, I was surprised to find out how poorly managed the reservation system was. I asked to speak to a manager and it took almost 20 minutes until a manager would see me. I spoke to the manager about the situation but almost immediately he shifted his attention to another patron who had just arrived and handed the manager $200 in cash. The manager then ignored me as if I did not exist and proceeded to seat the gentleman who provided the bribe. I decided to wait a little longer to see if the manager would come back to assist me but that never happened. The place was so busy and people were waiting at the bar so long for their tables, that drunk customers were literally tripping on each other. Again, this would not be so unusually at a local tavern or sports bar, but for a restaurant that costs over $100 per person, I can not understand how they stay in business with such poor management and rude staff. Meanwhile, when I checked in they said they would send me a text message when my table was ready. I left at about 10:15 when the manager never came back and went to a different restaurant. As I type this review it is now 1:00 AM and as of right now I have still not received a text message about my reservation being ready. With so many choices for fine dining in South Beach, I will never go back to this restaurant and will make sure to let all my friends know the same. It is one thing to have an off night or poor service, but quite another when management does not care about anything more than who has the most cash in their pockets to bribe the employees.

    Great food Great staff Great people watching If they know you well they will treat you like a VIP Even if you are a VIP in your normal life but they don't know you be prepared to wait & wait & wait They charge $20 for parking and $40 for VIP parking which means you get your car within 15 minutes....what a rip off Still worth the experience

    KOBE BEEF MEATBALL! You.Must.Get.This. Prime One Twelve is one of my favorite restaurants and this experience was no different. They have the kobe beef meatball special appetizer on Fridays and Saturdays, but if you ask nicely, they will bring you one from their sister restaurant across the street. :) We shared this one pound meatball of kobe deliciousness with its tomato sauce of perfection, hints of fresh basil and house made ricotta and it was just as good as I remembered. Next time I think I will just order this as my entree and I will be a happy camper. Best meatball ever. The rest of our meal was also quite good. The filet mignon I had was charred perfectly. A bit crisp on the outside but perfectly medium rare in the center as I ordered it. The lobster mac and cheese was rich and so filling and the creamed spinach was so cheesy and rich as well. We were just two of us and couldn't finish everything but it was absolutely delicious. Next time though, I think we will just get the mac and cheese and maybe a less rich vegetable dish (if any). The creamed spinach was so filling and heavy and we couldn't eat more than a couple of bites before we were stuffed. Service was quick and friendly, prices are typical for a steakhouse. I will definitely be back here (or their sister restaurant) for my next visit to Miami for sure.

    Absolutely AMAZING! The scenery is great! They were playing Jay-Z the Friday night I was there, which was fun to listen to while having a great dinner. It is expensive (no less than $50 a person). I had a salad, great! Filet, cooked to perfection. Sides of asparagus which were mouth-watering and the 5-cheese mac and cheese which was amazing! For dessert we had the creme brulee with peppermint brownies - I melted!! The service was a little slow, but it didn't bother me. We also had patio seating, which was fun to watch others coming and going because of the busy area. Valet is available for $20.

  • Jasmine C.

    First timer, HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Party of 6 with reservation still waited 40 mins for our table. Then sadly waited another hour for our food (which two plates were returned because they were cold) the waiter will tell you the plates bring enough for 3 people but really is good just for one person. If you just want to flash your clothes, horribly spend hundred$$ to wait for hours for your table/food then go ahead.

    Oh Prime one twelve you have the potential to be a five star restaurant, why don't you try harder. No thanks to U S 1 traffic jam last night, we couldn't make it to Shula's. My sister and I ended up at Prime one Twelve. Here's the breakdown of last night Beginning: Last minute reservation Valet parking: no need for it, if the valet guys can't do their job. Entrance/ host stand: I felt like I was at Red Lobster on a Sunday afternoon or evening where everyone come to eat after church. But wait I think I'll rather be there. It's first come first serve, you can actually talk to the host or hostess, you get a buzzer and an estimate of your wait time, so no need to be inpatient and no one will skip you unless you leave. At Prime one Twelve I saw a bunch of annoyed and angry people faces who have been waiting for more than an hr. Hostess had no clue when a table was going to be ready. no star Bar area: Seriously, did you just send me to your overcrowded small Bar area, all I can think of, is drinks being dropped on me. no thank you. no star Celebrity Spot : OK, I could care less for who's there. I forgot to mention Jaime Foxx was. What startled me, while I was awaiting patiently and reading the yelp reviews about this place, was the loud scream from the ladies standing with flowers in hands by the host stand awaiting to get Jaime's attention and trying to figure out where he's going to be at. And nope they didn't have dinner there. My favorite celebrity was the guy who rolled in with his luggage in hand. no star Venue/ noise : nice venue, nice decor, it might as well been a night club as loud as it was in there. 3 stars Food: after 50 minutes of waiting, Thank God I didn't make the 1 hr mark. App: crab cake 3.5 stars sorry you didn't beat Shula's. Steak Tartare this where I started to Hum 5 star. Entree: Sea Bass 3.5 star 12 ounce filet mignon 4 stars Mac and Cheese 4.5, a bit too acidic. Dessert: fried oreo 4 stars Tahitian Vanilla Crème Brulee w/Stack of Peppermint Brownies 3.5 star. keep the strawberries out if they are not sweet. Music: what's the point of playing it ? I didn't know it was playing until I was leaving and there was about 10 people inside. PS: to the owners/ management of this place say thank you to your chef and his team, the celebrities who stop by, and those who give you 4 to 5 stars.

    I went to Prime One Twelve with a big group of friends a couple weekends ago and was impressed with the environment and the food. We split the King Crab appetizer and I had the bone-in ribeye. The food was great and the service at the bar/table was amazing. I will definitely come back again.

  • Dorielle B.

    Had to fight my way through a 50 person line to check in on time for our reservation and the hostess says "30-45 minute wait". No apologies. No offer to get us a drink at the bar. When customers are 15 minutes late, restaurants give away the table. But when they run late, nothing. Pretty disgusting behavior.

  • Janine D.

    Well, if you have all night, give it a shot. Your reservations mean nothing at this place. 730 reservation? You'll be lucky if you sit down by 9. Why? Well, if someone comes in who "knows someone" you are put behind them. This went on for 2 hours. Food looks great, but not worth the frustration. I'm outta here. No place is that good that they can treat there customers so poorly.

    What a place, this is a must if you come to miami beach and want to enjoy a fancy dinner or lunch. Service is quite good, food as well ia very nice. But you have ti make reservations if you dont want to wait for at least one hour before you get seated.

    Had a reservation for 8:00 during week. Got to front f Desk they said it was 45 mins wait why bother to reserve I asked? Reply: then it would be a 2hr wait. There are lot more pleasant ways to spend 200 to 300 per person. Ridiculous!

    Make sure to make a reservation because you will be standing outside for a while! The bacon is amazing. You can only get it at the bar, but if you know to ask you can get a tower of bacon which is amazing! The servings are HUGE! and good! The sides can be split btw 2 to 3 people as well, so get a few to try among the table! The chicken and walffle is great! And big! The baked chicken is good as well! Also the steak is amazing! And the fish is super super fresh! Make sure to try the mac and cheese!

    Food and scene very good, ONCE YOU GET FRICKING SEATED. Getting seated not good (insert understatement). 90+ minute waits. "Just another minute". "You are next". Paper and a highlighter when you check in. Is it 1980? The prices say no. Many seated preferentially.

    I've eaten here quite a few times in the few years I've lived in sofla. They do some things good, some things great and then consistently they do a few things horribly. Do you want good, great, or horrible first? Let's start with horribel and end on a good note. Horrible: - The ladies and gent at the host/ess stand. First of all very "sobe attitude" meaning they think they are very absorbed with their greatness. - Their reservation system. I've never been able to make reservations and be seated on time. And when I mean late seated I'm talking an hour or more. I truly think their plan is to make you so starving that no matter what the food tastes good. What is the point of making a reservation if you don't get seated on time. I've learned to plan ahead so I don't miss events after. - Overpriced drinks. Ok it's sobe, I get it, nature of the beast but it still sucks. - Inconsistency. Sometimes my napkin gets folded when I leave the table sometimes it doesn't. Some visits my water glass is never empty other times I'm parched as a cactus in a drought. These are service level but I've also experienced issues ordering good certain ways. Some servers say yes we can substitute others say no, temperature and taste of items vary from time to time and that really sucks that the menu isn't reliable. If you order a lot you guarantee some items will be delish. So let's move to the good. GOOD: - Ambiance. I like the place and the vibe. The service is meant to be classy and it is mostly, but the servers and bartenders are still cool and normal and down to earth. - Location. Easy in and out of sobe, decent parking and valet options. - Even items that have been great sometimes and good others...I've only had 1 bad food experience and the server fixed it immediately. Great: - The fried Oreos. - How happy the streak makes my boyfriend. He loves this place that's why we go so often. - The portion sizes. Huge I mean they make Cheesecake Factory portions look meager. Def worth a try if you're in the area visiting or going out!

    Hugely disappointed and would not go back. Made our reservation five months ago and showed up for our diner to wait almost two hours for our 7:30 reservation. Requested an inside table, but got seated outside (two hours after our reservation booked five months in advance) and sat through a wind tunnel and chilly temps. Once seated (two hours late), service was good but meal was very very average and not worth the wait or money. Again, hugely disappointed. We could have had a much better experience elsewhere. Would not recommend.

    What an amazing place! Came here with friends for our last dinner in Miami Beach. Seated right at the time of our reservation, and the service was fast as well. I ordered the 12 oz. filet mignon, which was to DIE for. The side orders are huge, so I was able to easily share sides of mashed potatoes and creamed spinach with the others I was with. For desert, the dulce de leche bread pudding was amazing, once again, shared among four people. Overall, one of my new favorite places to go to in Miami Beach. Though it is extremely pricy, the food is worth every single penny. Can't wait to return on my next vacation!

    So it's your boy's 26th birthday, and I thought, "Why not switch it up from the usual $7-a-plate fare?" So I decided to try this place that a lot of over-privileged girls I know have been to: Prime 112. So we made a reservation an hour or so before, and the hostess is a cunt rag, but I'll let it slide because she's probably coked out. We got there and she was ugly and looked like she has spent countless sleepless nights. We were seated in a boss ass table. You could have filmed a Hype Williams video in it; perfect luck for my first time there. The menu was daunting, but the waiter knew the menu really well and helped us out a ton. We ordered the porterhouse and ribeye for two along with garlic mashed potatoes, mac-and-cheese, and steamed broccoli. Everything was cooked to perfection, except for the meat. I felt like the meat was charred on the outside too much and the meat hadn't cooked evenly. However, it was still great and the overall experience was magnificent. It was just the classics executed perfectly, and it felt good to be an affluent Miamian. I'm looking to come back again.

    Super trendy steakhouse on Ocean Drive. Rip Hamilton was at this spot. So this is where the ballers eat. (See what I did there?!) Oh yeah, Lil Wayne walked into the restaurant. So yeah, I guess famous people eat here. Gives you the sense of what kind of place this is. Called to make a res for 6/7pm. Only available at 5 and 10:30. Hokay..10:30 it is. Got there at precisely that time, passed at least 20 people standing around waiting for a table, went in to see a packed house. Waited at least 10 minutes for a hostess to even GLANCE at me as I stood right in front of her. Took 5 more minutes for her to greet me and ask what I needed. No eye contact until she looked me up and down, wrote down a description of what I was wearing (for someone else to eventually to find me in the crowd) and said there'd be a wait. Went outside and waited for an hour, literally. Checked with the same hostess about 30 min later, she said "Should be soon". Finally sat down at 11:45. By that time, our party of 4 was ready to eat a cow. So we did just that. My friend and I split the 30 oz Bone-In rib eye (cooked medium), a horseradish cream sauce, "accessories" of the sauteed broccoli rabe and the lobster mac and cheese. Everything was perfectly cooked and our other two friends (one ordered the 8 oz filet mignon and the other ordered the "Sesame Crusted Hawaiian Big Eye Tuna w/ Crispy Ginger Rice Ball, Wasabi Sauce & Sweet Soy") both said they were happy with what they got. All in all, the food was exactly what it should have been, especially at that price point. Fine dining, over hip-hop music (weird..) but maybe Lil Wayne requested it. I don't know. Service sucked major balls. But whatever, I guess. By the time we left, the place was about to close and a different hostess said she liked my dress. Thanks. Also, we got to stare at a Chicago Bulls player lean on a mailbox for at least 40 minutes. Guess it was worth it!

    I really liked this place. I went there 2 nights in a row. The first night I was with a party of 15 but I went back with a friend the next night and sat at the bar. Service is really great and the food is awesome. It is pretty pricey, but the portions are huge. Salads are family style. Had a great time!

    The standards are set high for a restaurant such as Prime One Twelve. I am typically not a huge fan of such posh places because they tend to fall below expectations. Prime One Twelve however, on two separate occasions, did not disappoint. You have to be okay with spending a pretty penny, making a reservation well in advance and still expecting to wait, but once you get past those things the experience is highly enjoyable. We started with cucumber martinis at the bar while waiting for our reservation and they were OUTSTANDING! So fresh and delicious it didn't even taste like an alcoholic beverage. After we were seated it was nearly impossible to resist the bread on the table which is cheesy and warm ( couldn't resist). For dinner we ordered the filet, the sea bass, mashed potatoes, stuffed tomatoes, and the cream spinach. I couldn't even decide which was my favorite if I tried because it was all melt in your mouth amazing. Needless to say the service was up to par and a celebrity sighting or two was inevitable. Great posh scene, excellent service and fabulous food and drinks. Exactly what you would expect from Prime One Twelve. Well done.

    5th and final visit to Prime one twelve. Fabulous Food and Incredible service but I have never felt more disrespected by a restaurant. Our 8:30 reservation turned into a 10:00 sitting and dinner arrived somewhere around 11:15. This happened every single time we visited this restaurant. The most egregious arrogance and not giving a damn attitude of any restaurant we frequent. They book way too many people and then have guests literally tripping over each other in the shoe box sized bar. I'm especially blown away by waiters carrying food for seated guests through a sea of guests loitering in the foyer due to the delayed seating. ( I wouldn't want to eat anything that's been in breathing space of dozens of people). I'm definitely going to miss the incredible meals but I can't support any business that disrespects me as a customer. On to the next SOBE adventure.

    If you are still talking about a meal 8 years later you know it must be special. My wife and I were ranking our all time favorite restaurants and decided Prime 112 is #1 so I had to write a review. From the bacon appetizers at the bar, the juicy steak, incredible wedge salad with cubed bacon and delicious sides everything was absolutely perfect. Service was excellent as well. Despite being pricey you feel like it was well worth the experience. Fortunate I get to eat at a lot of nice restaurants and this one goes at the top of the list.

    We LOVE Prime! My wife and I had the opportunity to eat here one lazy day while we were strolling around SOBE and we raved about it for the next 2 days. Snuggled in the midst of trees and the city scape we found ourselves eating delicious brie, sipping on delectable cocktails and enjoying a positive and pleasant atmosphere. Every person that we came in contact with upbeat, friendly and was willing to do anything to keep us happy. We will continue to come back and we look forward to our next dining adventure amongst the sea!

    This is one of the best steakhouses I've ever been to (2nd-best, to be exact) and that's saying a lot. The Porterhouse for 2 (the true test for a steakhouse) was phenomenal, as were the sides--top notch creamed spinach, mac and cheese, onion rings, etc. But the real surprise here was the dessert. You absolutely must have the deep fried red velvet cupcakes. You read that right. And you can thank me later. Also had the fried oreos, which are in the same batter but not as good as the fried cupcakes. People say this place is pricey, and I suppose it is, but compared to other steakhouses of this caliber, it's about right. Along with cocktails, an appetizer, entrees, two bottles of wine, a bunch of sides, a couple of desserts, a bunch of espressos/coffee, and a few after dinner drinks, our bill (9 of us) came to a little over $1000 which isn't bad at all. If you're in South Beach and you appreciate a good steakhouse, you absolutely have to come here. Just make sure you make a reservation because it gets extremely crowded, especially on the weekends.

    Like a New York steakhouse in sobe. The waiter was extremely attentive and made smart recommendations. The oysters were top notch. The wedge salad very good too. The porterhouse was a 9 out of 10 as well. Overall it's a great place worth visiting if you are willing to pay up...

    Ok so I made a reservation for my husband's birthday. It was for ten so at ten they asked would you like inside or do you want to wait 30 min for a table inside? I hope it's worth the wait cause at this point wondering what was the reservation for. By the way my husband is 6"3 and the bar was so packed we waited with no drinks:( We finally sat down after an hour and 15 min. I am not going the lie the food was amazing !!! But I have a hard time giving anyone 4 or 5 stars for waiting this long the front desk needs revamping. It should really be fair if you book in advance that is the order that you should be seated in. I 'be been to lot's of 5 star restaurants and it's never been this long or that crazy disorganized.

  • Nishika S.

    Hailed as one of Miami's most exclusive and sought after dining venues, my expectations were high. We started off with a selection of Oysters which were fresh and appetising. The rib eye for two which we ordered was exquisite. Each mouthful was succulent, flavourful and cooked to perfection. What came as a rather strange surprise was the fact that not a single sauce or butter came with the $75 piece of meat. Never have I at any fine dining restaurant around the world, be it a Gordon Ramsey in London or Dwayne Cheer's At.mosphere atop the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, been told that any steak sauce had to be ordered a la carte. Perhaps Prime112 would have done better to forego a few bucks on sauces, maybe considering it the cost of retaining some class, as a restaurant of it's calibre would be expected to. The foie gras butter we ordered along with 2 steak sauces was disappointingly tasteless. However, the lobster mac and cheese was unexpectedly unparalleled, offering a sumptuous and creamy accompaniment to complement the meat, a portion of which was plentiful enough for two to share. The Malbec Cabernet we ordered cut through the richness of the food, providing the desired relief to the meal. While the mains surpassed our expectations, the desserts were comparably disappointing. The s'mores dessert was dense and an overly sweet concoction of melted marshmallow, peanut butter and chocolate. The famed fried Oreos were equally unexceptional, and unappetisingly oily, particularly following such a rich meal. We would return here, perhaps just not for dessert.

    Will never go back. Great for cocktails if you want to be part of happening scene with beautiful well to do crowd. Very loud and apparently they have habit of overbooking. We were seated hour past our 8:45 reservation, took another half hour to get served our salad and shrimp apps, and another half hour for our Porter House for 2 that came cold and not best tasting. Staff was friendly and did their best. Just poorly managed.

    Delicious! I've tried the ribeye, porterhouse, onion soup, various appetizers and a bread pudding dessert (whoa!). If you are planning on a nice romantic dinner, have the hostess sit you away from the bar area. Gosh I would totally knock 2 points off just for how annoying the noise was the last time I was there.... BUT that wouldn't be fair considering my entire meal experience including the prompt and courteous service. The Mac and cheese I didn't care for, it wasn't as creamy, more towards the dry side. Why a 5 then with my complaints? The steak my darlings, the steak.

    This is apparently the place to be. And any place that gives you strips of bacon in a glass to eat with your hands is A+ in my book. I came with an obvious bachelorette party and they gave us a huge 18'' or so schlong of a hot dog to enjoy! That almost makes up for the valet asking me if we habla Ingles. Yeah, in Spanish.... Anyway, the food was very rich and VERY filling. My faves were the lobster mac & cheese, brussels sprouts, the amazing steak (very similar to Peter Luger, now that I think about it), key lime pie, and chocolate souffle. Less notable were the button mushrooms, creamed corn, and fried oreos. Oh, they also helped surprise us with a bottle of champagne courtesy of the bachelorette's fiance while we waited for our table. Finally, don't sit outside by the sidewalk if you are a group of Asian chicks. It is not a good time.

    This place is always packed and crowded and I can see why. Complete heaven. Tuna Tartare: (5/5) The color on tuna look like it was just fish out of the water, it was very fresh and refreshing. 30oz Bone in Ribeye for 2 topped with Foie Gras (5/5) Cooked medium rare.. omg it melted in my mouth and was cooked perfectly. Lobster mac and cheese (4/5) it was good but i had better at Mastro in CA Fried Oreos with vanilla bean ice cream: (5/5) Anything fried is heavenly but this was good. Lychee martini is a must here. Its really refreshing. Overall my favorite steakhouse.

    Before I start. If you come here do not expect coupons, groupons, or discounts. You will spend $$$'s. First, the bar. A great place for a drink with professional bartenders. Olga is the one to request. Though all are top notch. The best? Instead of peanuts and pretzels be prepared for a never ending frenzy of bacon in a glass. Yes, bacon in a glass. Beer and Bacon, Wine and Bacon, Anything with bacon! What a concept. As for dinner. Everything is family style and a la carte. Caesar salad. Sure. It will feed 4. Like Anchovies? Well they will bring a full plate on the side. Being a fish guy and in Miami, how about the Grouper? Mine was huge and that is being conservative. On a heaping pile of spinach. Fresh and cooked to perfection. Sides of Lobster Mac, asparagus, etc., top notch. Dessert. Well, OK i did partake in one being the fried red velvet cake. The table also had fried Oreo's. Yep, that was about a 1,000 calorie swallow but hey it was only one right? Service! again from door (with advanced reservations) to bar to table was spot on! My only star deduction was wine. Yep being the puke wine snob their Malbec selection was terrible as was the Malbec. No aerator nor decanter. Pop, poor with no breath. With the $$$$'s spent It was surprising that 112 did not offer this option. Less the wine "whine" this is a repeat and a must go!

    Where should I start?!?!? First the food is awesome everything I had was delicious...and the deviled eggs were fantastic!!!! Of course the steak was cooked to perfection and the sides are great...however I would say if you're going to get the mac&cheese just add the lobster to:) Secondly, our waiter was excellent!!! #3 Only one complaint...this is my second time going and I will go again, however I am finding there is really no point to a reservation. I had to wait both times to be seated and the wait was long enough to go to the bar get drinks and finish them before the table was ready??? Overall great place to go.

    We came here just over a week ago. I'll be short and sweet. Food is very good, tasty as hell. Prices are very high, expensive as hell. Is the food worth the price, mmmmmm borderline if it's your first time. Next, service is pretty bad during the holiday season. New Year's is awful, very crowded, slow, and you may get moved if you're not early. By the way, you need to sign in on your reserved time, so come early, otherwise risk waiting longer. I'll give them a 3.5/5 for two reasons. 1. The food and restaurant doesn't really live up to the hype, prices considered. 2. Although there is an effort made, due to far excessive booking, the service is not amazing, price considered. I stress price considered because I don't mind paying more for a good meal, but I expect, in fact, assume, that my money is being spent on something like better service. Last note, it is a great place to see starts and the like.

    I love coming here. It's just nice for a fancy date on a special occasion or just for a great evening out. You must make a reservation on the weekend. It can get busy and crowded in here. The dinning room on the side is gorgeous much calmer here vs. the bar side. The sea bass is yum and steak is a must. The waiter who attended us was very knowledgable and made a great wine suggestion. The mac and cheese with lobster was delicious but I really expected much more just seemed a bit average. The atmosphere is great, a place to get dressed up and really show out.

    Prime 112 was the restaurant at the top of my list for Miami until last night. But that changed dramatically last night! A dear friend of mine (co-founder and CEO of a major company...) was in town from Boston to spend New Year's Eve and a few days of R&R in Miami with his girlfriend and we arranged to meet for dinner. I had told him so much about Prime 112 in the past that he decided to make reservations for 4 and we agreed to meet there at 9:00 pm. My wife and I got there a few minutes past 9:00 pm, but he and his girlfriend were there already and had checked in with the front desk person and had proceeded to the bar for drinks where the front desk was going to go get them from as soon as the table was ready. We met them at the bar and after waiting a good 15 minutes to get the bartender's attention we finally ordered drinks. There was nowhere to stand without constantly being pushed around, mostly by the waiters rushing around. One round of drinks led to the next and before we knew it it was 9:30 pm and they had still not come to get us for our table from the front desk. We went there to inquire with the front desk twice between 9:30 pm and 10:20 pm, at which point we decided to offer a "handsome tip" to a staff member in order to finally sit us at a table! Even then, we had to wait a few minutes more before they finally proceeded to bring us to a table outside. We sat and waited for another 20 minutes before they took our order. The appetizers came out quickly, but the entrees took a really long time to come out. Our waiter was not attentive at all but thankfully at some point an additional waitress started attending to our table which somewhat improved the situation. By the time the entrees came out and we finished dinner it was almost 12:30 am! We didn't order a bottle of wine or coffee and deserts and I shared my entree with my wife. The bill was $440, not including gratuity of course. They overlooked our filet, contrary to my specific request for a medium-well temperature. In summary, from the stand-offish front desk that took a long time to even get to and was chaotic and the very uncomfortable bar area and inattentive bartenders, to the unacceptable long wait even though we had a reservation and the poor service by our waiter, the dining experience was not what I expected at all from this restaurant. Very disappointed...

    Now we are talking, this place dishes up some crazy good people watching and enormous plates of delicious food. What's not to like? It's oozzing with local flavor, cheesy spandex, incredible glam outfits, and fake hair extensions. Only thing missing are the real housewives. And some claws. The wine list is way overpriced and while the food is expensive, at least you get a lot for your money. I suggest sharing and skipping the lobster mac and cheese. I know it sounds good in concept but there is very little lobster in it and it costs 25 bucks. It was the only item on the menu I didn't like. Had a great night out here but be prepared to drop some serious cash.

  • Johnny Y.

    Your probably wondering about the sides. Simply amazing. Most places usually slop up the sides and only concentrate on the steaks. No this place. It's built to perfection. Every bite you eat. Screams orgasmic. No, I don't work for them or am I employed there. This is the real deal. WHO WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT THE SIDES!? TALK ABOUT THE STEAKS! OKAY, okay. AHem* Hands down. Probably the best steak I ever had in the longest years. I've worked in steak houses. This is probably something of greatness. Especially the variety of butter!? Get the fugg!? Foie Gra butter!? WHO MAKES THAT!? Apparently this place! Crazy good by the way! I would definitely come again. Fair warning it's a pricey joint. Save up them pennies!

  • Jessica L.

    Well worth the 30 minute wait. Enjoyed cocktails at the bar as we waited. They offer crispy bacon strips rather than bar peanuts. I do not eat pork but thought it was a clever alternative to nuts. Friendly bar staff, very crowded but par for the course. Lobster Mac was amazing. Ceviche was nice, filet was butter. However we ordered a bottle of wine and got one glass poured before waiter carried bottle off and we never saw him or the bottle again. Until we flagged him down for our check. Great food. Great ambiance great bartenders but our waiter was not great.

    4.5, It was the best meal I had in Miami. The bar is a great place to have a martini and mingle, and that we did. I agree that this is the spot to have dinner and drinks, even late night. I will admit I was apprehensive even though we had reservations, based on alot of the reviews that I read about the wait time, however, we were seated almost immediately. Maybe because we were a little late for our reservations? Bone in filet, NY strip, grouper, all very good. Sides as well. Service was mostly attentive. We finished at the bar for 1,2, 5 more martini's. If your in the area, I would definitely make reservations. Enjoy!

    Worst steakhouse ever. Had a reservation and still had to wait one hr with people falling all over each other in the lobby. Table with same falling all over people right next to us. 45 min ticket time rushing waiter and if you still even think about coming here the food could be matched at a back yard bbq. 112 you plain suck congrats on your marketing. Worst dinning experience in yrs. The only thing that was quick was the check so they could screw up some else's dinner.

    The food was absolutely delicious. There was a Spanish guy who was bussing tables. This guy had EXCELLENT customer service. He didn't even speak English too well but he worked very hard and made our time at the restaurant exceptional aside from our good meal. I had the filet Mignon and the garlic mash. It taste wonderful. My hub had the T-bone steak with lobster Mac. We were beyond full but we had to have the fried Oreos and they were heaven in my mouth. And the ice cream was yummy as well. Oh and the 3 different breads that were brought out before our meal were great. I wasn't too excited about the onion bread but the cheddar bread and the pecan cranberry bread was delicious. I had seconds on the cranberry bread

    Ehhh not all it was hyped up to be. The host and the service was horrible the night we went. I don't know if it's because there was a big game the next night and there were some nba players there as well but regardless, the staff should be just as attentive to everyone else in the restaurant. The steak itself was mediocre at best which for the price, was very disappointing. Only reason it's getting 3 stars is for the Mac and cheese and the the unbelievable delicious fried Oreos for dinner.

    If you respect yourself as a person do not go to Prime 112 since they do not give a damn about you. We had a birthday party for my family come from Canada. We reserved a table for all 12 of us 4 weeks before for 9PM. When we got there there was a big line up outside. Asking the hostess for our table we were told we have to go to the back of the line??!!!! What???? It is 8:50 and we have a reservation for 9! The hostess did not even give us a second look, we got no table no explanation and NO RESPECT. While waiting people were complaining about having reservation for 7 and they were still waiting in line. We waited for 2 hours and when leaving we were told they will call when the table is ready, 4 hours later, NO CALL. Good steak or not, forget it. My money will not end up hands of the disrespectful pretentious jerks. We went to Milos and had a great meal and a great time.

    Perfectly Grilled Steaks. Obnoxiously Expensive. Came here to celebrate a friend's happy tidings, and had: a perfectly grilled medium-rare Porterhouse All the Sides were amazing (esp anything with truffle oil) Dessert of Smores and Warm Chocolate Goo was great. They did everything right... but: THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS PLACE TO CHARGE WHAT THEY DO. $15 sides. $15 desserts. $20 martini's. $15 cocktails. At least 1.5x more than most other steakhouses. The scene reeked of NEW MONEY. I can not say the steaks here justified the exhorbitant prices. Go Elsewhere. The service tried to upsell everything. FISH WAS NOT GOOD HERE.

    Great, rich, tasty food! Seems like every choice is a can't miss! Good: -Accommodated a party of 12 with a RSVP made months in advance (get there within 30mins of your scheduled time) -Great if you're into eating to be scene, or to see affluent types -If you don't eat at these higher end restaurants you'll appreciate the experience of the the meal with your company that much more Food Picks: -16oz Bone-in Fillet (the bone tenderizes everything) -Sweet & spicy wings -Rum baked sweet plantains -5 cheese truffle MAC -Creamed corn -Sweet potato & vanilla bean mash -Crispy fries -Fried Oreos -Fried Red Velvet Balls Bad: -I don't have context, but parties of 2-4 were waiting for hours...

    If you want celebrity sightings, this is your spot! I was really worried that our reservation for 10PM for 10 people would be bumped in favor of an athlete/celeb. However, we were pleasantly surprised when we got seated promptly at 10, and in a prime location for people watching (near the front). The most notable person we saw that night was Shaq! The food was great as well. Ordered: -Pan Seared Foie Gras (tasted like roasted honey spam at first, but gave way to the usual foie gras taste) great stuff! -Ribeye with oscar (more memorable than anything I've had at Alexanders) -Lobster mac and cheese. Good! Service was excellent despite being a really crowded night.

    5 Stars for food and atmosphere! This is a must when in Miami. Celebrity sightings are frequent. This place has THE BEST STEAKS and SIDES! Cocktails are great! The only issue is actually getting a reservation! This place is always packed and filled with people. Reserve way in advance and be prepared to wait. Also be prepared to spend a pretty penny. The garlic butter and truffle fries are out of this world. The goat cheese salad is huge and has amazing fried balls of goat cheese. Mmmm Mmmmm Mmmmmm! I want to go back NOW!

    Disclaimer: Someone else paid my bill and I got to eat next to Shaq, Chris Brown, and Suge Knight. I mean come on, that's a win anywhere. But here it was just awesomeness. The food is amazing. It's top notch. It's pricey but if you are ok with that then you'll love the food. Again I didn't pay so you probably hate me. Deals. You come here to be seen, to people watch, to splurge, and to eat amazing food. That's why you come here. There is fun to be had. Go find it.

    This will be probably the last time I'll go here, I have discovered that it is part of the pandemic problem of the image of Miami Beach. And, that image is going down rapidly. What with the tow truck companies ripping off those poor schlubs who didn't park correctly, to the police hanging out at the Clevelander, competing with the regulars and the tourists for a quick pick up, or just running over the tourists. To the Urban weekend that apparently turns into a hood-nasium for the delinquent and lawless. Miami Beach has an image problem, but Prime last night added to it. Upon arrival there, the valet asked us if we wanted to park out front. How much was the reply, $40.00 was the quip back. No thanks,and I'm thinking you have to be out of your mind. I used to park there for $20.00. Prime used to be packed, I know it was a Sunday, but at 8:00, it should have been. Just the same they kept us waiting and we went to the bar. For the four of us the drinks cost $130.00, once again are you kidding, and sadly we weren't even buzzed. Once we got seated the sales pitch was faster then the pitch for the food. Apparently Prime is even more interested in money, the Kobe steaks were way out of priced as was the Maine lobster. So back to the regular menu, and the taste of the food seemed diminished. The Shrimp Cocktail was tasteless. The Ny strip was eeehhhh ok, and eeehhh flavorless. I was becoming more and more disappointed, as I remember Prime in there hey day. Out of the four of us, nobody had that wow moment. Had Prime 112, become the Beach Towing of restaurants, the old adage of once you come in we gotcha! I believe they had. For the near $1000.00 that was spent for 4 people, mind you the waiter made $200.00 for what? I don't know, the wines he recommended were astronomical, and the service was ok, but so was the food. However; I left with the experience of being nickel and dimed to death, I was waiting for a stripper to run up to me to grab my last dollar, and say "Did you like my dancing"? The answer is no! I drove by where Nemo's was, where Divito's was and where Tuscan Grill was! They are no more, I'm afraid Prime 112, is headed in that direction.

    I have read a lot of the reviews and expected the worst: a long wait to eat, stuck up staff, and over priced food. My party and I had a reservation for 6:30p, which in my opinion is a great time (not too busy). We only waited about 15 minutes before we were sat, and the hostesses were very nice. I was not impressed by my filet mignon, or the truffle fries, but my friend ordered the ribeye and it was phenomenal. The place filled up quick and it got crowded and uncomfortable. My advice: get there early, order the ribeye and skip the fries. Cheers!

  • Devin V.

    I made a 9:30pm reservation at Prime One Twelve for Tues 11/13/12 a week or 2 in advance. Someone called me the day of the reservation leaving a message to confirm, to which I returned the call and had a chat with the maître d' that I was indeed intending to arrive. At that point I felt as if they were planning to roll out a red carpet upon arrival. Hardly the case. Arrival time was early (9:15pm). After check-in I asked for a notification at the bar when the table was ready. When 9:50pm rolled around I realized there would be no notification. Ok.... so much for the reservation, and time spent with the phone calls. Now, Plan B: fight tooth & nail through 3 different people, and the assistant manager to finally get to a table. Not the way to start a meal. Once getting to the table the service and ambiance were very pleasant. I can personally say the 22 oz. Bone-In Rib Eye, cooked rare as I requested was fine - not spectacular. The warm chocolate pudding cake was delicious. All in all it was a pretty "Ok" experience.

    I have been to this restaurant three times and I am officially over it. We had a confirmed 7:30 reservation and we were seated at 9:15. Who cares if there is bacon at the bar when you are standing there for nearly 2 hours in high heels with no seat? By the time we were seated the atmosphere was turning in to Lord of the Flies with people screaming at the hostess and complaining about the long wait. Not really relaxing. Yeah, we saw some beautiful people and semi celebs but it's Miami, you can see those people at other restaurants too. By the time we sat down we were so aggravated that no matter how good the food was, the bitter taste of the long wait had ruined our appetite. If your go, you must go during the week to avoid this kind of wait. The beet salad with fried goat cheese balls is very good as is the peanut butter pie. The tuna sliders are not good, at all.

    One of the best steak joints I have been to in a while. This place gives Chicago steakhouses a run for their money! Went here for dinner and boy did this place get packed real quick. Can't speak to the celebrity sightings but I don't blame people for flocking here. To start, we had the fondue plate which could have been a meal in itself. I had the fillet with Bearnaise sauce and side of mash potatoes. The sides and sauces may appear pricey but they are intended to be served family style. I had enough left over for lunch the next day... and the steak was just as good the next day! The martini I had was pretty good as well. Minus one for the service at the bar. I wanted some bacon strips to eat but he didn't give us any. (Although every other bar patron had some). So as long as you avoid the bar the service here is good. I highly recommend.

    I honestly think with this restaurant, the earlier you come, the better. From other Yelp reviews, I see a lot of Yelpers stated that their reservation was not honored and they were seated at a later time than their original reservation. First of all, be prepared to pay $20 for valet. Yes, TWENTY DOLLARS! I'm not from Miami, and I trip on paying twenty dollars for big concerts or other events held at arenas, so imagine my surprise when I pulled up and was told $20 to park! And the valet was waiting on me to open my car door. Uhhhh sir, last time I checked it's part of valet's job to open car doors. I refuse to do their job especially when paying $20 for it! At first, I didn't realize they had valet because a vehicle was blocking their stand and no one was at their post because they were all congregated in a construction looking gated area off to the side of their valet booth (I later found out it was because they didn't open for another 15 minutes, at 5:30pm, but still, someone should have been at the booth even if all the other valets were taking a break or whatever it was they were doing). There IS parking diagonally across the street for Nikki Beach, however, I circled thrice and was not successful in finding parking. I asked one of the valets (upon leaving Prime 112) about other parking options for Prime 112 and he expressed the best bet is valet or metered street parking if you manage to find one. There is free wifi here! Upon entering Prime 112, I did not feel "welcomed" by the hostesses. I asked to be seated and I was merely told "Restaurant isn't open until 5:30pm. Bar is open though." I didn't even get a "Hello, Welcome to Prime 112" greeting. I decided to go hang out at the bar and the first thing I noticed, were the squeaky bar chairs. I felt like it was going to break. I did, however, enjoy my Mango Martini drink (I think it was called Mango Martini) which was sweet, not overbearingly strong and served very cold which I loved. I also enjoyed the bacon bar snack served out of a wine glass. To start, I did not care for the $26 bowl of their lobster bisque. It had plenty of visible lobster chunks which was great but the actual bisque itself, was lackluster and this was the FIRST time I did not finish my lobster bisque at a restaurant (and lobster bisque is my favorite) so that is saying A LOT. My waiter, Flex, made some good recommendations for my entree and I ended up ordering the Jumbo Lump Crab Crusted Grouper which came in three layers: bottom layer- wilted spinach (not overly cooked, still retained its vibrant green color), grouper (by itself, lacked flavor), topped with the crab meat (very good mix which really took this dish up a notch). DESSERT: I will ALWAYS come back for their fried buttermilk doughnuts. OH MY GOODNESS! The display was really nice and formal especially when you think about doughnuts. It comes with 10 warm, fresh out the deep fryer doughnuts, sprinkled with sugar and served with two sides: a strawberry sauce and a caramel sauce. YUM! Bring your appetite though because I tried so hard to force myself to eat it all but I was stuffed and could only eat about half. Whatever you don't finish, you might as well leave at the restaurant because it doesn't taste nearly as good for leftovers even though it is packed neatly in a plastic, cylindrical container. Suggestions to this restaurant: Hire more personable front house staff hostesses and replace some of those bar chairs.

    What an immense waste of time and money! Hey you. You! Don't be an idiot. Do not make a reservation. Do not go and wait sheepishly until your 9pm table is made available at 10pm. Don't order the green goddess salad. It's disgusting. Don't order the truffle Mac and Cheese with Lobster - there's no lobster in it you dumb ass. Just don't go there. Definitely don't spend $450 for 4 people for dinner. Don't leave disappointed. Just don't. Any questions?

    The cheese fondue with truffles is the BOMB! I've been a couple of times at lunch only because getting a reservation is an 8 week wait for dinner. Service is always on point. Decent wine list. I had the filet with truffle butter the first time and it was great. Friday my boyfriend and I shared the lobster roll and steak sandwich. My complaint was the lobster roll was soaked with mayo. Way too much so if your not a fan of gloppy lobster roll avoid it. Although I will say the lobster was nice big chunks. The steak sandwich wasn't anything that memorable either. The Fondue wins me over every time!

    We got the recommendation from a friend and I was told it was one of the best steakhouses by Miami Beach. We pull up and the first thing we get is a Valet telling us to pay $20...Uhhh Since when does valet parking cost so much when there is a public parking lot down the block, had I known we would have parked the car ourselves. So we finally get sitting and places our order, we ordered the House salad, Pulled Shortrib, Tuna Tar Tar, Rack of Lamb, and the Bone-In Rib Eye for two, with a side of sweet potato fries and truffle fries. The salad was mediocre considering it is just chunky chopped carrots and celery..not that impressive. The tuna tar tar was just ehh, it was so salty and slimy, I mean we've had fresh tuna and this was not it, I mean since when does tar tar need to be that salty, all I tasted was soy sauce. The short rib was quite good! Here came the main course, the rack of lamb was good, cooked perfectly. The rib eye not so much. When it arrived to the table it looked great but once we started digging in, I noticed that the meat inside was gray pink..I ordered medium rare. What they did was pre-slice the meat then stick it under the hot over to make it cook faster. This made the meat less desirable. I know what medium rare looks like and that was not it. Was the REAL cook off that day (we went on a Monday). Then to make it worse, the truffle fries were SOGGY, how can you have soggy/ oily fries? It didn't even taste like truffle oil either. Was very disappointed, we did tell our server and she was kind enough to take it off our bill but we told her it was not necessary. The service was great but food was just mediocre, I have had much better steaks around Miami.

    I give this restaurant 4 stars simply because the food was absolutely delicious. But I must mention that I came here with a group of girls for a birthday dinner with reservations, and we still waited about 1 hour to be seated. On top of that the food came out very late as well. The waiter was very nice and attentive which adds alittle for the 4 stars. I ordered the chicken dish with the garlis mashed potatoes which was to die for. It was so good I would go back to get it again.

    -Steak was cooked perfectly with garlic and butter and seasoned just enough -The creamed corn was yumalish with a little kick -The asparagus was below par (plain, overcooked and huge, hard to eat easily and they served you a ton so you feel bad not eating

    oh my gawshhhh. This is as good as it gets. I ordered a special that was tuna sashimi (apparently flown in from Japan earlier that day) and it was unreal. Shared the porterhouse, brussel sprouts, and mac n cheese. All absolutely phenomenal. Additionally, our waiter was very knowledgeable and appropriately attentive. Highly highly recommended especially for a special occassion.

    After spending a little over $900 you would think we would've left happy and satisfied, sadly the opposite is how we truly felt. Beyond disappointed. Checked this place out on a recommendation from someone. We went on a Sunday night without a reservation, got seated promptly on the patio, which was very nice, the atmosphere was lovely with a beach like feeling. Our server, Matthew arrived quickly with bread and to take our drink order. My husband got a 30yr Macallan which he loved but it was down hill from there. We ordered the deviled eggs as an appetizer, a boneless half chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans for me and an A5 Kobe 12oz New York strip (remember that... It's important) and Brussels sprouts (add bacon to the top) for my husband. ($220 on the menu... But totally worth it) watched Matthew write ALL of this on his paper. Waited for an hour and 11 mins before any food hit our table, we are both thinking this is quite a while for an appetizer to take but we were talking and just figured the kitchen must be really busy. In the meantime the server practically ignored us- had to ask the busser to bring us another bottle of water (twice) and the second time I asked him he actually tried to fill my glass with the pitcher of water (c'mon now, we've been drinking bottled water all night) Our food finally arrives... Only it's our main course... What?! So we ask him where our deviled eggs are, his response "oh sorry, I must've not heard you" and walks away. Never asked if we wanted it now, or even apologized for that matter. I've worked In the service industry, mistakes happen, when you have four tables sometimes you forget to order something but for Gods sake, own your mistake, don't blame it on poor hearing when I personally saw you right it down. My chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans were delicious, and so was my husbands A5 Kobe 12oz FILET... Oh yeah that's right, he didn't order the filet, he ordered he strip! When he asked "is this the strip?" The response was "yes sir it is" we just looked at each other and kinda shrugged because it didn't really look like a strip but whatever, after waiting over an hour we were pretty hungry. Also had to ask, again, to have my water glass refilled. (At a 1-2 star restaurant this would've been more acceptable but at 5 stars? Seriously. Be more attentive) After we were finished I asked to have the remainder for my food boxed up, sadly they left the mashed potatoes out, (which were the most delicious item on the plate) kinda disappointed when I discovered that. We decided against a dessert because after waiting over an hour for food and then never getting our appetizer, we didn't want to risk it. On receiving the check we were slightly surprised to see that yes indeed the wrong steak had been ordered. It was easy to see why, the filet was over $400. Because neither of us are the type of people that want to make a big deal about something simply to get something for free, and my husband did eat it, so we just paid for it and left. We kinda got the feeling that Matthew our server had the attitude of "you're here for me, I'm not here for you" which is not what you want to feel in a 5 star restaurant. The sad part is we both feel strongly about tipping extremely well when we have wonderful service. So rather than making just 20% on us (yes we still tipped that even on the horrible service we had) he could've made 50%-100% on us... Trust me, just ask our favorite server at Miami Meat Market. Would not recommend and we won't be back.

    Definitely make a reservation for this spot, since it gets CRAZY packed! I LOVED the cheddar cheese bread-yumm! They also give you two other types of bread to start off with. My cucumber mixed with st. germaine drink was pretty and strong. The rib eye was just ok, and the truffle fries were so not worth it. We barely put a dent in 'em! This place had great service but the pricey food was disappointing.

    I was ready to give Prime 112 five stars since all my previous experiences have been good. But recently, the food quality and service has gone down. The steaks we ordered( bone in filet and regular filet) were either over cooked or under cooked. The service wasn't great. Our waiter maybe come once throughout and didn't ask us about our food. The only good thing was the Mac and Cheese! Omg I love that Mac and cheese. A lot of bread crumbs on top with thick creamy truffle cheese. The creamed spinach was also really good. I was disappointed with the lobster bisque. It used to have a kick in it and was bigger and now it taste like all the other lobster bisque. However, it really does have a good amount of lobster in it. Prime 112 is steakhouse and couldn't even get the steaks right. They tasted normal, nothing out of the ordinary.

    Had to wait 90 minutes for our table even though we had a reservation, and was almost tackled when we tried to check in at the front desk bc people were complaining. The drinks were awful, and the service was awful... The food was mediocre at BEST!!! Would NEVER RECOMMEND!!!

  • Victoria R.

    The wait was too long. Our food was good. The atmosphere left much to be desired. To put our experience into context, I'd like to quickly describe us. My fiancé and I in our late-20's/early-30's, we are both confident and happy people, and we feel at home even at the trendiest places. However, this place felt like people thought that smiling was illegal. Luckily for us, once we were seated, we sat next two really cool tables and made conversation with both. The couple on our right were celebrating their 14th wedding anniversary, and the girls at the table on the left were visiting from Atlanta. Both tables made the experience far more enjoyable. If you care about being at "the" place to see and be seen, then go for it since many people here are waiting for someone famous, and sizing each other up in the meantime; if you care about a fun vibe, then this might not be 'the' place for you. Even though we made the best of it, it wasn't for us.

    Much better service here than most other places on south beach. We'll probably come back for that. Staff is knowledgeable about the food too, unlike other places around here. I mentioned that I was a vegetarian and he immediately suggested an item that they could make that wasn't on the menu. Whatever meat my boyfriend got was good too. I believe I saw foie gras on the menu... Pretty disappointing and offensive to many. It's banned in so many other cities for a reason. But, service is good, atmosphere is nice and so I would recommend the place.

    This place is a top-notch Miami classic that never disappoints. It's located in the highly coveted South of Fifth neighborhood, and is a frequent spot for celebrities to come and grab dinner or enjoy drinks. The staff is always knowledgable and attentive, and the food is AMAZING. All I have to say is... fried oreos. Perfect location for a business dinner, a private party, or just a romantic night out.

    Came here for hubby's bday. I will say that the steak here is fantastic super delicious five stars ah mah gah, as well as the scallop and short rib appetizer (so yummy). Anyway suffice it to say the food is on par with a lot of the other upscale restaurants in this city and comparable cities. However, We had to wait forever and that really sucks. We had a rezzie and my friend was babysitting for us and of course we got home late and I felt bad :(. Also its really expensive and the inside is super loud to the point where you can barely hear someone talking to you. But the steak is good and if you are into the trendy see and be seen atmosphere then check it out.

    I had a great experience here for my boyfriend's birthday dinner. It's definitely pricey but worth it for a special occasion. We got the arugula salad with fried goat cheese, miso marinated chilean sea bass, and the bone-in ribeye with a side of truffle butter. All very delicious. We were stuffed but so happy we got the snickers pie for dessert. I'm normally not a huge fan of dessert, but I could not put my spoon down. We got seated pretty quickly - didn't even finish 1 drink at the bar. I've never had to wait more than 30 minutes here to get seated with a reservation.

    The food here was amazing. I got the 8 oz filet minion, which in my opinion was a little over cooked on the outside because it was kind of hard to cut through. But my boyfriend got the 16 oz T-bone steak and it melted in our mouths. The 2 sides we got were truffle corn and roasted tomato with spinach. Everything tasted so good and the service was a 10. We had 3 different people helping us out the night. I also has a dirty martini at the bar and it was the best I've had. Totally recommend coming here if you're on SOBE.

    Me and my boyfriend booked reservations here a month an advance for my birthday. When we got there the inside was chaotic, luckily we made reservations outside. As we were walking to our table someone waiting actually said "where the f@&ck do they think there going?" This place is over rated it's mostly people that go there to be noticed and show what a douchebag they really are. My filet mignon was so dry it was not enjoyable to eat. Our drink ciroc lemonade was very good. Our waiter was nice but it just seemed like he was rushing us to leave fast. When we booked, there was a section to put a message for your reservations my boyfriend had put it was for my birthday, When our waiter asked if we wanted dessert we said no we're going to continue with drinks. He came back with our bill. I would never come back here again. I definitely recommend Morton's or The Grill in Miami for a great steakhouse.

    The restaurant takes reservations but does not honor them. Our reservation was at 9 pm. We called and told the restaurant that we were running 5 mins behind and they told us they would hold our reservation for only 15 mins. We got there and saw there was a line to just check in with the host and hostesses. It took another 20 mins or so just to check in. While waiting for a table, we learned that there were people who also had reservations and were waiting for a table for 2 hours. After waiting for an hour we decided to go to Prime Italian across the street since they didn't have a wait at that time. We wanted to let the host & hostesses know we were leaving and saw another customer who knew the host, slip him what looked like money. I will never return here again since clearly they have no respect for people's time or know how to effectively run a restaurant. Prime Italian on the other hand is excellent!!! Save yourself the time and trouble and get your delicious steak from Prime Italian across the street!

    What a meal!!! This has to be the best restaurant in Miami. We went (party of 4) and we ordered up a storm. We couldn't make up our mind so we all shared the following: Appetizer for the table: Kobe NY Steak (a-5 rating, which is the highest possible rating for Kobe beef). - This steak wall literally like butter, no knife needed to cut, just use your fork to cut it and enjoy!!!! Best tasting steak ever. Wedge salad for the table - Perfect tasting salad, not too filling. Entrees were all fabulous as well: Porterhouse steak - huge and ridiculously juicy and flavorful. Seabass - flakey and light - amazing fish. Sashimi - very good. Sides: Creamed corn with truffle!! One word (wow) Brussels sprouts - was great! Some type of potatoes side w/Parmesan. We were too full to order desert, but I'm sure it's amazing as well. The meal was $800, but well worth every penny. This meal was fit for kings. Will be back here again next time we visit Miami!!!

    All I can say is "WHOA SALT". I think this place oversalts everything! I have diner here 3x and everytime i have woken up at 3am dying for a glass of water. The scene is hip but I really don't give a crap about the scene if the food doesn't live up to the hype. Be prepared to wait and wait and wait. This restaurant tries to overcompensate for the poor quality by huge portion sizes. Really not sure why so many people rave about this place. Personally think smith and wollensky delivers an all around better experience.

    I have been here several times. The service is really good and I do love the fried oreos desert, I'm not a big fan of red meat so for me the menu lacks more options for fish and pasta. But overall is a great place and i'll continue to come back. Only downfall would be that the place can get very noisy and hard to hear other people if you have a table close to the kitchen. But I recommend this place for dinner.

  • Alessandra R.

    This place was okay. Went on a Sunday night so it wasn't too crowded. We had an 8pm reservation and were actually seated on time. Our first waiter was not very good - at all. It took 20 minutes for us to order drinks. When we did we put our food order in too because we didnt want to wait another 20 minutes. We asked the server to make sure that none of what we were ordering had nuts in it, because someone we were with had an allergy. Not only did he not check, but he never came back to our table. Somewhere along the way we got a new waiter. The truffle fondue was really good - I did burn my tongue towards the end of the fondue so just beware it gets hotter the closer you are to finishing it. I had the 12oz filet. It was just okay. Very salty, and too charred on the outside for my taste. It was cooked well. The rum plantain sides were by far our favorite, the creamed corn with back truffles was good as well. The lobster mac and cheese was a big disappointment. It lacked flavor and was really dry. The creamed spinach was okay - the consistency was a lot thicker than it is at other steakhouse. Fried oreos were great, as was the peanut butter smores.

    Beware of the $10 flat water. Food was acceptable / the Kobe burger- 2 buns and a large piece of meat & the blackened swordfish which brings a tasty lime flavored arugula....They don't even put the bottle on the table so that you don't know you're paying 1000 times for that silly glass bottle they probably refill with tap water. Waiter was making more eye contact with the street than with us. I'm not a tourist & I felt like I was treated as such. Try again Prime One Twelve...PS this water trickery did not happen at Prime Italian and the service there was waaaay better.

    Worst experience ever. I had made reservations for 8 pm two weeks in advance. We arrived on time, only to wait in line to reach the hostess stand for over 20 mins. I was told the wait for our table would be 30-45 min and I would receive a text or phone call. The place was so packed that we could not even get to the bar and went over to Cavalli for drinks instead. We returned to Prime 112 an hour later for our table. I went straight to the hostess stand and was told that I had to wait in line AGAIN to speak to someone. At that point, we were hungry, frustrated and let down-- we saw countless "VIP's" hop out of their Lamborghinis and get seated right away. We ended up eating else where... and I never did receive that phone call that my table was ready! Don't even bother with this place. No one wants to give business to a place with terrible customer service, no matter how good the food might be.

  • Jennifer J.

    Excellent. I was on vacation with my girlfriend and we wanted to have one monumental meal during our stay. Prime 112 delivered without a doubt. Starting with the tuna sliders - wonderful flavor. We both had the filet which was prepared beautifully - sided by the truffle Mac and the garlic roasted mashed potatoes. Finishing off with the fried Oreos - still trying to find a word that accurately describes how great these were. Our server - Isabella - was wonderful. She was extremely attentive as was the bussing staff - there was rarely a crumb on our table. The only thing keeping me from five stars as the others have said - despite having a reservation for 9:30 pm we still had to wait quite some time to be seated. I am glad we ended up sitting outside, the inside seemed a bit chaotic. MUST MAKE RESERVATIONS!

  • Irina R.

    "Celebrity hot spot," "the place to be".... my opinion: eh, whatever. Prime 112 is completely overcrowded to the point where you feel claustrophobia taking over. It's a profitable restaurant and everyone obviously wants to be there, but I did not appreciate the one hour wait time, especially because I had a reservation. The trio of hostesses were haughty and there was something unpleasant about them. Maybe they are stressed out having to deal with the overcrowding? Anyway, the food was good. The couple's food next to my table looked decent too...I couldn't help but look, they were sitting about 4.5 inches away from me. Overrated is the word I'd use for this place. I won't go back there, regardless of the "fame and sparkle" of the guests.

    My wife and I typically visit a nice steakhouse to celebrate our anniversaries and valentine's days. We dined at Prime One Twelve in August 2014 to celebrate our anniversary. I was initially apprehensive on the mixed reviews ... and I'm sorry to say that our experience is in line with many of those. We had reservations (confirmed via phone), however when we showed up for our early (5:30PM) dinner, the hostess "couldn't find them in the system". There seemed to be some confusion, and a few minutes went by while we stared at a nearly empty restaurant (it had just opened for dinner service) ... not off to a great start. Once seated, we did receive excellent service from our waitress - no problems there. We shared the Ribeye for 2 and tried various appetizers and sides. I will say that the apple bread pudding is amazing, however the food is mostly good ... not great. It's just not worth the $400 bill for two. We felt that we could go to steakhouse chains like Ruth's Chris, Capital Grille, Mortons, Palm, etc. and get better food for 1/2 to 2/3 the price. There are just too many options around to warrant visiting Prime One Twelve again.

    awesome food !! many positives and negatives to this place ... Ive been coming here for a few months now with no problem . Recently I went with four of my girl friends and we waited an hour after our reservation (which we had no problem with) and we sat on the side of the building outside near the fire with server- Joseph ... he threw menus on the table and asked what do you want ? I replied were all going to order a bunch of dessert and share it all and be in and out . He said that we couldnt do that and that we had to leave . I asked to speak to a manager and he gave me attitude and said fine what can I get for you , we ordered 4 orders of fried oreos , 2 trays of sugared donuts with an ice cream scoop and an apple flavored dessert, coming out to 105$ ... I work in the resturaunt biz so I know how it is getting a table of people who sit there forever but we were in and out in under 30 minutes and I think his tip reflected his attitude .... We left upset & called later on that night asking to speak to a manager .. the hostess said hes out right now she took my number and said they would contact me and never did .. WILL NOT BE BACK 0 stars if I could ... sucks to see a place with awesome stars be ruined by shitty service .

    Don't bother with a reservation. We made one, stood in line for about 30 minutes just to check in, and were then told we would have to wait another hour at least to be seated. Ridiculous. No steak is that good. Needless to say, we left.

    They are a far cry from the wonderful iconic steak house they were. Service was very bad, very crowded and we had to wait 45 minutes to be seated. Aver-priced, hyped-up, tourist trap. They have grown too much and have not been able to keep up. Stay away!

    I spend too much time in Miami (if that's possible), and I find myself doing dates or business at Prime on almost every trip. The negative reviews here are almost entirely from people who went in with the wrong expectations. Yes, Prime is expensive. Yes, it's kind of obnoxiously pretentious. Yes, at at its heyday (which I think is likely well into the rear-view mirror) it could take an hour after your reservation to be seated. We get it. You just wanted a nice place to eat a $20 sirloin served by a 50 year-old wearing spaghetti straps. The right way to appreciate Prime is simple. If you want to avoid the nonsense, you go before 8pm, and you get seated right away. If you like the scene, go at 9:30 or 10pm. Once seated, you order oysters, raw tuna, and cocktails to start. Then, you order the bone-in ribeye if you're hungry, and the small filet if you're not. Get a bottle of vino to go with dinner. You don't order anything else as an entree. I don't care if there are other options on the menu. You don't order those. Don't even open the menu. As sides, the best choice is the creamed spinach, which is phenomenal. The corn is also top-notch, and there are others that are OK. For desserts, the fried Oreos are tough to beat and come in a set big enough for the whole table. The servers I've had have all been fantastic, and I've always been seated within a few minutes of arrival. Maybe it's my dashing good looks. I don't know.

    If you have any self-pride you will not subject yourself to the arrogant game this establishment lures you into. Reservations mean nothing - they are simply a ploy to suck you in and create a scene and frenzy of people desperately hoping to have some snob high on power finally deem you worthy of a table. However, if you are shallow minded, wanna be who needs to be seen rolling up in a rented luxury car, a woman with zero self-esteem and no respect for themselves trying to sink their claws into their meal ticket, or a secret groupie just dying to take a picture with some celebrity in the background and post it on Facebook - then this is the ideal place for you. This is not fine dining, this is a lounge that serves food instead of bottle service. I know this review will have little impact on their continued success as there is an insatiable thirst for people to posture, pose and fake the funk - Prime One Twelve is the Mecca of South Beach for those who need to see and be seen. However, if you are truly seeking a pleasurable dining experience with a modicum of respect for yourself and for what your money (just as green as anyone else's) deserves, please spend it somewhere of substance and value - not the vanity and insecurity that breeds the success of Prime One Twelve.

    A total DISASTER!! Had a 9p reservation and arrived to a sea of people waiting for tables. Hostess just kept telling everyone a few more minutes and was more concerned with chatting with other hostesses than attending to guests who were clearly agitated. Waited 30 minutes only to find out the party in front of us had 7:30 reservations and still hadn't been seated at 9:30. We walked next door to Roberto Cavalli restaurant, were sat immediately without a reservation, and had a wonderful meal. Every restaurant has a bad night once in a while but this place clearly does not have their act together. If you're overbooked, be honest with your guests and they'll likely come back and try you again. Be disrespectful like this place, and I'll never step foot in there again. Oh and they called at 10:30 to let me know my (9pm) table was ready.

    Our son was heading back to the University of Alabama, our daughter ( UM student ) selected Prime. It was the perfect place to celebrate life, and how fortune we were to have learned about Prime 112. They served bacon at the bar while we waited for our table. That was a nice touch and it went perfect with a dirty martini. David ordered the tommahak, looked line a steam from a dinasore. He said a half dozen times, "what an amazing dining experience, the best I have ever had" ( age 21 ). I am 56 and it was my best dining experience as well.

  • Lawrence P.

    I don't love these type of restaurants. No matter your reservation time, you are waiting at least 30-45 minutes before you are seated... and that's if you are lucky. This is one of the "it" restaurants in Miami Beach and your table is often given to people who just walked in... just because they are they and you're not. And all of these would be somewhat OK if they had a nice bar to wait at. Instead, it's a cluster f*ck with nowhere to go. Yes, the bacon they serve at the bar is nice. What would be nicer would be if they sit you within an hour of your reservation. I should change the "I don't love these type of restaurants" to "I absolutely hate these types of restaurants". Still, it's Prime 112 so we wanted to try it. The first time we went there they made us wait an hour and 10 minutes past our reservation time. To make matters worse, they gave us the first table by the entrance. There might as well not be a front door given the people traffic so, we basically ate in 80% Miami humidity. We brought our wine ($35 corkage fee) and began our experience with some bread and sea salt. We moved onto our dinner. We were a party of 4 so we all tasted their signature chicken & waffles (not bad) and the bone in ribeye which was perfect! Their sides were not good with the plantains just ok and the soggy tater tots. The best in show was the peanut butter s'Mores and buttermilk doughnuts with chocolate & strawberry grand marnier sauce. The second time we went on a Thursday night we had a better meal. We only waited 10 minutes and the sides were perfectly executed. I guess if we ever go back it will be on a weekday. A 3.5 really but once you get past all the B.S. their steaks and desserts are real good!

    I made a reservation for 9:15pm and arrived 2 minutes early. There was already a line out the door, and I thought that wouldn't be a problem since we planned in advance. Unfortunately from the banter of the other patrons in my immediate vicinity, they also had reservations. Some had waited over 1.5 hrs for a table for two. I checked in so to speak and they told me they would find us when our turn came. I'm not sure how they would possibly remember my face since it was more packed than a salsa special night at la bomba discotheque. After about 0.5 hrs I tried to find the status for the wait time. No real answer. After an hour when the crowd had dispersed somewhat and it was 10:15, still had others ahead of us... The wait is unbearable even WITH reservations. Impossible as a walk-in? No places to sit. The bar is more packed than the front lobby. Horrible experience unless you're a regular and they would fast track your tables from those who have waited longer, some MUCH longer. 1 star because it is so disorganized that you will want to question your existence in life--on an empty stomach and false promises of a fine dining experience...

    I spent alot of money on celebrating my brother's birthday dinner and over all it was a terrible experience.The area where we were seated was cramped and the service was slow and inadequate. I will not be going back, very overpriced for the quality of the food and service. I will continue to go to Morton's and Capital Grille as far as steakhouses are concerned.

    Favorite steak house in Miami hands down!! Whenever I take visitors to this restaurant they fall in love with it as well. Last time I went I ordered yummy Foie Gras as an appetizer, filet mignon with a side of truffle mac and cheese as the main course and then fried oreos for dessert. Yummm, perfection.

  • Chevonne W.

    Very chic. I like it a lot and it is very close to where I live which is always a bonus. It is a bit pricey but for the most part, good quality food. This is a great place to take a date for a night of dining and wining. Would recommend also for small parties, very good for that. If you want a neighborhood feel yet feel like you are on a mini vaca, then this is a great place to check out. So grab dinner, then a bottle of wine and walk on the beach with your honey which is just across the street.

    Difficult place to judge because of the still insane lines and drunk tourists all over the place. This place still reminds me of a place that belongs on the grounds of Disney with uneven cooking where one night you can have fantastic steaks and a great experience then the next night where your waiter spills a drink on you, your steak is over cooked and the sides and appetizers are underwhelming. At these prices, there should never be a complaint about the cooking and the service but that never seems to be the case. Unless at a bachelor party or with out of towners, this place should be avoided

    Waited about ten min for our table, got right in and sat down. No problems and good service, bar staff was friendly. Steak is above superb. Cooked perfectly. The best thing here is the sweet potatoes mash, sweet and savory. Order the cream spinach it comes with onion straws on top for a nice crunch. Fried oreos are a must have!! Don't leave without them

    I see reviews for here tend to be great, or not so great. I understand how an extremely busy place can get crazy, especially during busy holidays or events. My experience was fantastic. My first time here and hope to come back again. Went with the three signature dishes, 30oz Rib Eye, Scallions and Spare Ribs and Lobster Mac N Cheese. All where fantastic, service was great, got to the restaurant at 7:15pm for our 7:30 reservation and we were sat down right away, zero wait. Food was fantastic and the cocktail prices were not high at all, the same prices expected at any other top restaurant in Miami. I actually was surprised $15 is really not a bad price at all for South Beach. I guess the key is get there early and try to get an earlier reservation. I am sure it is much busier around 8:30-9:30. I certainly would never try to eat there later on busy night. Only complaint was valet parking took a long time to get my car, along with a $20 fee which is typical for a hotel, but not for a restaurant where you are spending over $200 for two people. Places like Joes, Swine and Capitol Grill have much better priced and reasonably price valet.

    Update: If, after eating here, you feel the need to write a ridiculous list like this one (that I have copied and pasted right here for your entertainment!! LOL! ) Then YOU MUST be out of your mind! __________________________________________________­______ A Yelp Elite wrote this: "For those who scored this restaurant anything less than perfect you probably fall into one or more of these categories: 1. You really can't afford to dine here, but went just to say you did. 2. You had an unusually bad experience 3. You had to wait a while- btw if you throw the hostess some money, you will get seated immediately. If that's not for you, or you think that's ridiculous- don't go here or wait a while... It is what it is. 4. You don't know what good food or service is." __________________________________________________­_______ Read this again, and think to yourself....."Why would I ever come back here?" And to the snob reviewer that wrote it: Let's compare bank accounts, just for fun! Read my review below, and who cares what celebrity dines here, all those celebrity types are half crazy anyway! ....you deserve better. And as my friend Orlando D would write: People that would like it: idiots with lots of $$$ and bad taste. People that would not like it: Anyone with a brain, and an IQ over 69.

    Love. Love Prime 112. The ambience is what all restaurants should strive for. The service was impeccable. Or maybe it's who was seated at our table. I ate my first oyster here. Yay me. It was covered in deliciousness that I didn't even notice what I was eating. For my entree I ordered the blackened swordfish with arugula and papaya salsa. Absolutely delicious. The table was polluted with sides can't even name them all here. No dessert for me, but there was fried Oreos and fried red velvet cupcakes at the table. Sigh. Can't wait to return. By far the best service ever !!

    Overall, not a bad experience but perhaps not worth the price. The restaurant is really nice but the tables are packed in very tightly-- it made it very difficult to maneuver my way into the bathroom during my meal. However, the service was absolutely fantastic- our waiter was very attentive and friendly but did not hover. Very shortly after being sat, my table was brought a bread basket-- I didn't love any of the breads inside. The cheddar-y biscuit-y thing was pretty tasty, but very, very dense and tasted very, very cheesy- I wouldn't be able to finish the whole roll. The pumpernickel was a little too sweet for my taste, and the raisin bread was definitely too sweet for my taste. My table ordered the crab cake as an appetizer and it was delicious- the crab cake was perfectly cooked, the tartar sauce was really tasty, and the corn relish was tasty. I got a petit filet for my main course with the herb butter. The filet was delicious-- it was cooked to a perfect medium rare and had great flavor, which is fortunate because I really did not like the butter. I also tasted the veal chop (to die for!) and the snapper dish (also really tasty.) For dessert, my table of three all shared an order of bread pudding-- it was DELICIOUS but even three of us couldn't finish it! Overall, I had a great experience but I don't think I'd elect to come back (...though if someone were to take me on a date here, I surely wouldn't be opposed.)

    Four couples ordered 4 rib eyes for two, medium rare. All four steaks were sent back. 3 were too well done and one was too rare. I've never sent steak back before, so it was shocking given the hype. The steaks were tasty, I have to say. Not the best I've ever had, but it was pretty decent. The sides were all much too salty. Of note, the brussel sprouts were completely mushy. The crab cake was excellent - chunky, with the right amount of crunch, and the corn went very well with it. We made reservations the day of during a weekday, so I can understand why we should appreciate that we were able to eat here at all. However, that didn't make the dinner experience of our party of 11 any more pleasant. We were crammed into the an inappropriately tight table setting in the bar area, which as one would expect, is too loud for conversation. The setting would have been forgiven if the food had stood up to its reputation. Fortunately, our main waiter gave great service. To be honest, I've had a great experience at the sister restaurant across the street before, so I am disappointed in Prime One Twelve.

    Steak!!! Amazing! So for a huge steak lover this was the place to go! It's also the place to be seen and see the stars! On my 3rd bachelor party to Miami in 6 months I have been craving to go to prime and we finally got the opportunity and reservations. We were set for 8:30 pm so that we can get in enjoy a nice healthy cow and then spend the rest of the night endulging with locals at Nikki beach. We waited outside with others when we got there for about an hour for our group of 8. Luckily we got to sit next to some celebrities and check out the menu. Specials were either larger cuts of steak or unique cut like the Kobe (2ounce per order). We decided to share a few different steaks. Porterhouse for 2, filet, and a bone in ribeye (30ounce!). We also ordered sides the five cheese Mac, creamed spinach both amazing and the mash which was okay. Steak was perfectly cooked and tasty. If your a steak person you will enjoy the fact that they get their steaks from the same distributor as peter lugar's in NY. The decor is trendy and the butcher block table style give a nice feel to the steakhouse. Desserts were huge and good. Peanut butter snickers pie!!!! Wow Excellent wine menu! The best steakhouse in Miami sure would not be disappointed if you go!

    We had a Sunday 10pm reservations and waited about 10 minutes to be seated. The restaurant was overly crowded and tables very close to each other. There is very little privacy and comfort. We ordered the prime rib, which was a good portion and worth the price. It was flavorful and had a nice presentation. The lobster mac and cheese was delicious as always. We also had the fried shrimp with lobster cole slaw. The serving size was huge, but the shrimp had zero flavor! They just fried it and forgot the seasoning! I was very disappointed, but the cole slaw was delicious. We also ordered a lychee martini and prime pain killer for drinks....and they were both great. Service was great and very attentive. Good experience overall. (Rated it a "3" because of the shrimp entree.)

  • Anhara M.

    For years I wanted to come here but always ended up at a different steak house. I have to say it is highly overrated. We had reservation and still had to wait a good 20 minutes. It was loud and crowded. We wanted to get a drink in the bar while we waited and that was absolutely impossible. You couldn't even walk there. We requested to be seated outside to avoid the noise, living in Miami with the warm weather and humidity is no the best decision but I rather deal with that than a noisy crowded area. Lucky for me it was nice outside. The service was good and the food was okay nothing that I think was amazing. I would rather go to Capital Grill or Truluks.

  • Jeff S.

    Always great food and atmosphere. Been going here for more than a few years and it's been amazing every time. Always fresh food and served in large portions. Service is excellent. I usually go for their raw oysters as an appetizer and any of their aged steaks as a main dish. Mixed drinks are delicious. Sides are large enough to serve two people. Make sure you get reservations well in advance.

    Popular celeb spot and now popular and crowded. This is my go to spot when I'm in Miami. Besides being seated an hour after my reservation, service was good. Food this time was average. I first had the crusted grouper with crab cake....dish was a bit flavorless. Sent it back and got the salmon which was cooked perfectly in a caper sauce and asparagus. Fried Oreos for dessert was really good, came out piping hot with a side of ice cream.

  • Chris S.

    Visit tonight was disappointing. Service was good and the drinks were excellent but my NY strip was not a $65 steak. It was cooked medium rare exactly as I ordered but lots of gristle. Very difficult to believe it was a prime cut. Server wasn't interested. Maybe this was a one off but I certainly couldn't recommend it for the price. There is a reason this place is always packed and it's not to leer at the frequent celebrities. Great steak AND seafood with sides so good you wish the entrees were mediocre so you could go there and just have side dishes and dessert. Unfortunately, service ranges from excellent to "you are not famous, why am I bothering with you?" Still, if you are ready to drop big bucks for great steak, it's a very good choice.

    Are you a movie star? How about a pro-athlete? No? We'll be ready to WAIT. Oh, I don't mean as a walk in. I mean if you book your table at 7:30 and show up at 7:20 you are definitely not sitting down until 8:30-8:45 earliest. Don't believe me? Check out the photo of the guy who bought his family pizza cause they were waiting so long.

  • Angelina T.

    I do not see what all the hype is all about. Our order: Tuna tartare had a nice flavor but a bit salty. Shrimp was ginormous, but it could have been a bit more chilled. The shrimp sauce with horseradish was amazing. Watermelon martini was great. It had a balance of sweet and sour and very refreshing. Creamed corn was very watery and not creamy at all. Brussels sprout were over cooked. The color was very dark green and very mushy. Table bread was good. The cheese roll was my favorite. Japanese Kobe $35 per ounce was a joke. I had a better fillet mignon at Ruth's Chris for the fraction of the price. Japanese Rib Eye $220 per 16oz was ordered medium rare and came out charcoaled. Some pieces had a nice taste but the charcoal was overbearing. It doesn't look like there is a chef in the house; just cooks. If that's the case, I can see why such an expensive cuts of meat would be butchered to such mediocracy. Fried Oreos was the best thing on the menu. Our server was on point. Super sweet and funny. Total bill including gratuity $700.

    I've been to Prime One Twelve twice and had a really great time both times. First of all, this place is packed!!! I can't believe the number of people cramming in there - it's like they're giving away free steak (they're not) and free martinis (again, no, they're not). After reading people's lengthy bad reviews about wait times etc, my advice to people who don't want to deal with the epic crowd and wait times here is to make a 6pm reservation. We walked right in and sat down at our table. The drinks are expensive, but delicious. I had a dirty martini and it was standard and good. Sometimes, I judge a steakhouse by their bread basket first. Well, Prime has cheesy breast that's hot, and the only better bread I've had is at the Forge. So, already winning on the great bread front! We had the wedge salad, poppyseed and walnut salad, and French onion soup for apps between our group. I tried them all, and the salads are good and standard, thick cut bacon on the wedge and doused in dressing. The poppyseed salad was surprisingly tasty, and sweet. The French onion soup is the best I think I've ever had. It also has like a gallon of cheese... For entrees we split the filet 8oz and I had their ceviche appetizer and ahi poke appetizer (both specials that night). The seafood was amazing! Fantastic quality and taste. The ahi was truly remarkable. The ceviche was good, but not the best I've ever had (visit Chalan on the Beach if you want the best Ceviche in SoBe). The steak was perfect, with peppercorn seasoning. We also tried the brusselsprouts which are covered with bacon (amazing) and doused in a balsamic-like sauce...they were incredible. Other sides tried were the latke and the sweet potato fries - both standard and good. For dessert, we had the chocolate pudding cake and the apple cobbler. Holy $&@" on the apple cobbler. Totally unexpected massive piece of heaven with a huge crested top Service was perfect. Their portions are enormous! So beware of that! And the price is outrageous, but I think it's worth it. I'm only giving 4 stars because 3/4 steals at our table were undercooked; they recooked two of them and brought them right back. Keep up great work, Prime!

    After reading some of the negative comments, I really wonder if they're legit or other competitors just trying to hurt this business. I ate there today with my wife and child and had one of the best meals & service I've ever had. Casual dress, got there 20min early for my 7pm reservation and was seated within SECONDS! Great waiter and staff. 5 stars...will be back!

    Absolutely amazing. Get there early. We walked straight in even though we had a reservation and got seated early. The waiter, Flex, took so much time to make sure we had an amazing experience. We had the fried chicken sliders, 12oz filet, lobster truffle Mac and cheese, & fried oreos with icecream. Even the bacon at the bar & bread were delish. Best food & best waiter ever! Definitely worth it!

    Three words... O M G! This place was amazing. Not to mention A Rod was dining there when I arrived!!! I was traveling on business and my co workers made reservations here because the trip fell on my birthday. First, the decor is average. The restaurant is a bit small and cramped. There isn't much room for large parties. This would be my only gripe. The food is amazing! I got the braised short ribs. The portion was ridiculously huge and the meat was fork tender. Although the food took a while to come it was still worth the wait. The salad is served family style and is ridiculously large. We all shared a few sides and we were not disappointed at all. My main tip would be to make a reservation. This place was packed! The prices are a high but in comparison to other Miami restaurants of this caliber the prices are somewhat normal. Take time to explore the menu. Everything I tasted was amazing. If I had more time in Miami I would have gone back. Oh and the desserts are just as grand as the food. I had a doggy bag full of food to bring back to my hotel.

    Let me say this first before there is any confusion; this is one of the best meals I've ever had, so I needed to step back and pay respect. This food is ridiculously good. Location: This is a hot spot location right in the heart of South Beach. When we rolled up in our rental minivan, I told the valet not to have too much fun in that bad boy! Ambiance: Its a cool, hip atmosphere with dim lighting. Staff: The staff know their stuff. Our waiter was terrific and was very knowledgable of the menu, the area, and made terrific recommendations. Lobster Bisque: This stuff is crazy good. The portion is very large; plenty to share with someone else or the table. There are giant chunks of lobster in every bite. Definitely blew my mind how much lobster was in there. So delicious. Tuna tar tar: VERY good. The fish was fresh and tasty. A great lighter appetizer option on the menu. Caesar salad: HUGE! I'm very happy the waiter informed us the portion sizes. One salad fed several people. Seriously a couple heads of lettuce was used. Filet: The filet was solid! I loved the flavor and it was cooked to a perfect medium rare. You gotta try this place. It's well worth the price and sometimes traffic it takes to get there. :-)

    I think it goes without saying, this place is absolutely delicious. Of course it's pricey but you definitely get what you pay for here. Service was excellent as well, you will be surprised to know this is one of the few restaurants on ocean drive that does not include gratuity. Which in a way is a good thing because these servers are amazing and probably deserve more then the norm. I order the skirt steak with a side of spinach and side of mash, ALL AMAZING (mouth is watering thinking about it) definitely definitely recommend this restaurant

    Three words - MAKE A RESERVATION! I came to Prime 112 while in Miami and the wait was just beyond ridiculous. I mean, I get it - it's a trendy restaurant where you are bound to see nice cars parked outside, celebs passing through, and a crowd of people hanging outside, but neither one justifies why the wait is just super long! Ok the rant is over, time for the food.... For my drink, I had the strawberry basil which is - veev acai spirit, don Julio, fresh strawberries, lame & basil. It was very refreshing and added a great touch to dinner. For my main course, I had the 22 oz. ribeye and when I tell you it was probably the best steak I ever had, let me put it this way - my tastebuds were the chorus for Britney Spears' - "Give Me More" :). It was so juicy and tender and just simply cooked to perfection. In addition to the ribeye, I had the cream corn as my accessory and it was absolutely delicious! My waiter was very attentive and kind. Two stars shaved off for the long wait and my growling tummy.

    I can see why this place is so popular! I was party of a group of 6 girls who came here to celebrate my cousins birthday over dinner. We waited over 1 hour for our table, despite the fact that we already had reservations. We also waited over 1 hour to get our food after we ordered. It was a 4 hour dinner: very disappointing. However, our food was absolutely delicious (steak, chicken, mac & cheese, garlic mashed potatoes), our drinks were even better and our waiter was great. So I will be back here bc of the great food and bc our waiter was fantastic but I won't come on a weekend, in hopes that the wait isn't as long.

  • Anoolio A.

    Business dinner for 3, ended up being a bit of a disaster. Ordered a bunch of sides and the 44oz porterhouse to share- medium rare of course. Right off the bat we were served sides from another table, which was not really a problem and easily fixed. Sadly it was downhill from there. First time the porterhouse came to us super well done. Our server caught it immediately and returned it. Next up, it came in raw. My colleague actually touched the middle of the steak it was still ice cold... that was also returned. Third attempt still practically raw still cold at center, at which point we'd completely lost our appetite for steak. Clearly we did not pay for the steak but nothing else was offered for our botched dinner attempt. Clearly won't be going back there again. Too many other choices to pay top dollar for terrible product.

    Had dinner here last night- Kyle was our server. Everything about the experience was first class and delicious. From Tuna Tartare appy, to filet mignon, to peanut butter pie dessert the food was all superb. Kyle's great attitude and helpful disposition made it pleasant. Considering we had all just flown in from LA we were tired and wonky but I would eat there again in a heartbeat. Nice job guys.

    2 visits this year, both with friends The VIBE: 4.5 Stars - This place is quite the scene, but a bit more understated and less obnoxious than Nobu. Pretty clientele and great finish out. NOTE - the earlier you get there the better! This rating is based on a 9pm dinner reservation, as the scene was a bit raucous when we left at 1130. The SERVICE: 3.5 Stars - mixed reviews on this part... Good - got some great recommendations from the waiter, meal was never rushed but had constant understated attention. Basically, the moment we sat down to the moment we left was nice, as he even gave us free dessert because he "anticipated we would be waiting at least 20 minutes for our car when we leave." he was right! Bad - Reservation was for 9pm...for 2 people. We arrived at 845 and were told to grab a drink at the bar. We were not seated until 930, Strike One. Valet was $20, Strike Two. Waited almost 30 minutes from walking out the door to actually being able to hand our ticket to the valet to getting our car. Yikes. The FOOD: 4 Stars - First of all, order HALF of what you think you need, the portions are huge! I am not exaggerating, a lot of food goes to waste here, adn it's a shame because everything we had was delicious, from the cheddar rolls and lobster Mac, to the bone in rib eye and the caesar salad. One of the better all-around food meals I've had in awhile. The Bottom Line - If you come here with the correct expectations of waiting awhile to sit and waiting awhile to leave (and enjoy a lively crowd), then you will have a very nice meal here. It is pricey but not ridiculous compared to other Miami options at this level.

    This place has 5 stars in good and delicious food, but the attention of the front desk and the girls who seat you on the table is bad, so bad, my reservation was at 9:30, i have to beg for a table and at 11 they give me a table , is not fair , plus the guy inside the front desk who I supposed was the manager take me out of the desk cuz I was to close to the desk, that even worst , the food was good the server was good , drinks fine But the front desk is the worst ever If you wana wait and feel like they are doing you a favor giving you a table go to prime 112, in this place the costumer is not priority , Thanks

    Items Ordered: Bread Basket - Cheese Roll, Onion Pumpernickle, Raisin Walnut Fried Chicken and Waffles Maine Lobster Roll with Kettle Chips Sweet Potato Mash Fried Green Tomatoes 10oz Burger, Fries Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting Key Lime Pie Warm Dulce de Leche Bread Pudding with Candied Walnuts, Roasted Apples, Vanilla Ice Cream Double Espresso on Ice Amongst the swankiest spots on South Beach and the sort of place where celebrities are known to dine it was just after noon on Monday that parking was secured just down the block from Prime One Twelve and entering the doors of Miami's most storied steakhouse to the smiles of hostesses and waiters both the only thing more bountiful than the quality of the service was the portions of the plates presented, an order of three mains, two sides, and a trio of desserts easily enough to feed a party double the size of ours. Located at 112 Ocean Drive, and as such obviously named, a visit to Prime One Twelve begins with perusal of the extensive menu and with best-in-class Bread Basket soon to arrive the mindful diner is smart to not overindulge, though a roll literally overflowing with soft cheddar as well as savory onion stuffed pumpernickel and sweet raisin walnut bread are apt to tempt, each great even without the addition of overly hard butter. Largely eschewing enormous steaks while fully acknowledging that these items are indeed Prime's "signatures" suffice it to say that even though prices trend high each sizable dish selected was nothing short of exemplary, an enormous burger intense and juicy with a light crust overlying a pink center while the substantial lobster roll was nearly all crustacean and no filler, the chicken and waffles perhaps an unlikely choice but on par with that at Yardbird for best in the city with a pounded breast brined and juicy beneath crispy breading atop a supple waffle more than capable of soaking up pure maple syrup as well as bold, bright hot sauce. Underwhelmed by flavorless fried green tomatoes but more than impressed by fries, chips, and a veritable punch-bowl of creamy sweet potatoes that could have just as well been mistaken as maple-tinged frosting on a blind tasting it was onward to desserts that the meal progressed and with Key Lime Pie plenty tart beneath a heap of schlag the portions of both the Carrot Cake and Bread Pudding were almost comically immense, the former a pineapple studded masterpiece with thick ribbons of surprisingly light cream cheese while the later featured a nearly one pound block of caramel soaked brioche resting in a pool of sticky sauce and roasted apples, the slowly melting housemade ice cream and toasted walnuts adding variance in texture and temperature while helping to temper the intense sweetness...if only just enough to see me eat every last bite before spending the next few hours in a well earned food coma.

    Was here 2 years ago during Christmas vacation, and was sooooo impressed! We were here b/c there pretty late that night, and the famous Joe's snow crab was closed. We were leaving Florida the next morning, so we're hoping to try the snow crabs. Prime 112 was open so we gave it a try, we were so happy we did this. (Actually I forgot this place's name, and wrote this review under Joe's, then realized I was wrong... Had a hard time figuring out this place's name lol) Can't remember many details about this place, but I'm under the impression that it's got nice decor, the ambience was so nice, and our waiter was soooo nice and helpful. We took a table outside, surrounded by bushes and flowers. We had the platter with snow crab, lobster, shrimp, and some other seafood that I can't recall now... It came with four different kinds of sauces. I can't recall the names, but still remember our waiter gave us detailed introductions to each of them, and how to pair the seafood with sauces. The food was simply perfect, fresh on ice, delicious, and also pleasant to the eyes. Now that I'm thinking of the experience, I can't wait to go there again... Something interesting (or not) is I was bringing a fancy looking SLR camera with me that day, and I was taking random pictures while waiting for food. Then I went to the restroom (btw it's got mirrors on all the walls, and the hand wash was scented sea salt/essential oil scrub or something, so fancy...) and when I came back, the bf told me our waiter asked if we were food blogger or something. Of course we weren't, we're simply documenting the trip. But now that I think of it, I'm wondering if that SLR has played any role in that great experience lol. But anyways, everything was great and we enjoyed it. It's on the pricy side, but I think it's well worth it.

    We ordered filet mignon and ribeye steak which was both cooked perfectly!! The lobster mac and cheese was not the best . The customer service was excellent from the host to the waitress . Would definitely come back

    Took my hubby here for his birthday ... We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed the great weather . Great ambiance and pretty good food. Bread was excellent, highly recommend the scallops with short ribs for appetizer ... The steak was mediocre. For desserts I enjoyed the fried Oreos and fried red velvet, which is highly recommended. I would come back for the appetizer dish and make that an entree next time.

    Prime is truly incredible. Atmosphere is great, service is excellent and the wait staff have very unique and exuberant personalities. Very very impressed with my meal, the wine selection, and the entire experience. Only downfall is the price. Bill was just under $1000 for 6 people. Definitely worth it if you're celebrating, or just caked with mad stacks you can drop on dinner every week lol.

    I was so ecstatic when I ended up at Prime One Twelve, for one of my lunch meetings. This establishment has been on my radar as one of the go-to places when in Miami. Much to my surprise, I was beyond thrilled to check off one of my bookmarks on yelp. I was trying to watch my waistline, with all these back to back lunch and dinner meetings, so I was a good girl and chose the blackened local swordfish w/ arugula and papaya salsa. One word: DELISH! It was light, yet so full of flavor, and the swordfish was a really good size. I'm a big eater, but you can still be full and satisfied if the plate was shared. I had a bite of my co-worker's ribeye with peppercorn sauce and it was incredibly soft and flavorful. We all shared a table side Caesar salad, and it was HUGE!!! I definitely would come back here for dinner, because the portions and flavors are spot on. The ambiance seemed sleek and contemporary, so I can just only imagine how much more livelier it would be at night.

    Absolutely amazing!!!! The assorted starter bread selection was different and delicious. The filet mignon was cooked medium to perfection. The lobster mac and cheese was to die for. The ambiance and the staff were fantastic and the service was fast and friendly.

    Typical steak house however amazing service from James! My girlfriend had the Chilean sea bass $42 which was amazing and I had the bone in filet (perfect) $61. We started with 6 oysters of different types at $3.50 each. I recommend the fat bastard oysters. You have to order the lobster mac and cheese $27 it is out of this world and lobster with every bite. Yes its expensive but it is totally worth it. Definitely check this place out.

    Prime One Twelve has very good food. The service was good tonight but in the past has not been so great. On New Years Eve last year my wife and I had a reservation that we made months in advance and had to hold with our Amex Card. If we did not show up we would have been charged $250. The problem is when we showed up for an 8pm reservation they would not honor it. I spoke to the manager regarding this tonight and he apologized and comped us drinks and desserts. Definitely a good way to show us he values our business. The food was great. I would definitely recommend this place if you want a good meal. If there are any issues definitely speak up.

    I love the fries the service is amazing and a waiter even hit on my sister. The steak is a little dry. I am only confused about why do they serve ribs on Sunday I don't think that's a smart idea but the restaurant is pretty good.

    This restaurant was popping! However, the long wait for food even after having a reservation made me take off one star. We order the ribeye for 2 mac and cheese and the beets and they were all phenomenal let's not forget the bread pudding -why did I do it to myself! I almost forgot to mention the dinner rolls... superb

    I am surprised of the negative reviews. I can see what others mean about the wait, but the place is packed and its MIAMI.. People eat dinner at 930pm on Fridays and feel it's a normal time. The food was AMAZING! Portions were huge. Salads were definitely sharable for 2-4 people depending on how hungry you are. Ordered Cesar salad, Filet, and a side. Always get dessert!!! There desserts are AMAZING! Overall, the food is amazing- our server was the best server I have ever had. I like that they are so busy they are efficient and only come around a few times to check in. Lastly, it's a must try for Miami- just to witness the people that go there and cars that pull up. It was an experience in itself.

    I always come here on every trip to Miami. I made a "reservation" for two for 9pm on a Saturday night. We were running 5 min late, for which he called the restaurant to give a heads up. We stood in the check-in line and finally made it to to host by 9:15 to check in for a 9pm "reservation." I say "reservation" because it should really be called "the time you suggest you would prefer to eat" instead of "the time you can start getting seated." We were told the wait for inside table was an hour and the wait for an outside table was 20-30 min. We asked for "first available." Okay okay, so it's Miami on a Saturday night. We can respect that...to some extent. We made ourselves comfortable at the bar. We made friends. We hung out. We started checking in with the host at the 30-min mark. And again at the 45-min mark. And again at the 60-min mark. Nothing. Finally, at 10:50pm, we were told we were next. In our minds, the timing was perfect because we had reached the point where the wait had stopped being fun or tolerable. We were advised to stand by the check-in counter. So we abandoned our seats at the bar. And stood at the check-in counter. And stood. And stood and waited for another 30-min, even though we were supposedly "next." We were seated at 11:15pm for a 9pm dinner "reservation." Oh, this despite a confirmatory phone call from the restaurant earlier that day. Our waiter never shared the specials with us. After a wait that long, it was nearly impossible to enjoy the experience. We were given a comp $15 dessert, but let's be real, time is money. Our remaining plans for our last night in Miami were squandered as we spent almost four hours trying to survive dinner. This visit left a very very bad taste in our mouths, no matter how delicious the food might be.

    SUCKS - had reservations for 7pm - stood in a line that was chaotic. Watched them pick and choose who they wanted to seat. An hour later still waiting. This better be the best steak in South Beach because right now it feels WAAAAAY overrated - pretentious.

  • Felipin F.

    We ordered the lobster bisque. It was very good and very expensive also 27$ for a soup. Also ordered a 16oz filet with the bone. The steak was great but not amazing so don't think it was 67$ worth neither. The 5 cheese mac n cheese was alright The Chinese chicken salad that was ordered was flat completely no flavor.

    I'll be generous and round up to 4 stars for 3 1/2 which is what I would give this place. I rounded up because the food is clearly above average. I don't really have much negative to say about the food. The oysters are fresh. The scallop & short rib appetizer is superb (order it!!), and the steaks are fantastic. I got fried Oreos for dessert. They were fine, but probably wouldn't go that route for dessert again. What I didn't like about this place was the crowd. I understand its right in the middle of SOBE, but this was one of the douchiest crowds I've ever laid eyes on. Old ladies in inappropriately revealing clothes, middle aged douches dressed like they raided Bret Michaels' closet, tourists tackily underdressed, people were sitting in there so drunk they could barely hold their head up. Really a repellent crowd. Also, the food is overpriced and the waits are absurd (even with a reservation unless you "know somebody"). Food is good...everything else is meh.

    The two stars are for the food and our waiter. We had a 7:30 PM reservation on a Thursday night. Someone from the restaurant actually called me around 10 AM the day off to confirm the reservation. So I expected to be seated upon arrival or shortly thereafter since they appeared to be on top of their game. WRONG!!! Upon check in, below is our interaction with the arrogant hostess (AH) and other incompetent front desk staff: Me: Hi, checking in for our 7:30 reservation. AH: Please grab a drink at the bar, and we will come find you when your table is ready. Me: How are you going to remember what I look like or where I am considering the amount of people in the bar area? AH: Blank stare. Needless to say, she never did come find us. Me: Ummm, it's 8:30 now, should we expect to be seated soon? AH: Blank stare. At 9:00 PM, I had pretty much lost my cool and was ready to walk out, when the AH said, "oh I came looking for your party a long time ago." NO, YOU DIDN'T and don't lie to my face! Once seated, our experience was a little better. The waiter was wonderful and knowledgeable. The food came quite fast. And it was quite good especially the steak and the cheesy cauliflower. Sadly, the only thing we took back from Prime is the awful service of the front desk staff. We will never go back, nor ever recommend this place to anyone!

    Whenever we're in SB we come to P112 a minimum of 3 nights. The bacon for crying out loud. The NY strip, truffle fries, lobster and oysters always get our night off to a great start. People watching esp Miami Dolphin players picking up take out is a riot. Hostesses could use a few lessons in cs and your reservation isn't always guaranteed, howev overall great dining experience.

  • Ann S.

    The food was amazing BUT THE STAFF ruined our whole experience. We made a reservation a month ago for 15 people and we were not seated. This is a 5 star restaurant yet we were instructed that we could "sit over there." How is that in any way 5 star behavior? Once seated, we initially asked for separate checks but we were informed that they can't split checks. Basically the waiter wanted to guarantee his 18% gratuity not knowing we would tip more if he has split the checks. He was extremely rude when answering all of our questions. At the end of our meal when it came time to pay, he split the checks in 4 and it took 30 minutes just to cash out. We missed our Uber driver due to his extremely slow service. 5 stars to the chef. 0 stars to the staff. Overall, 2 stars because the food was good. However due to the incompetency of the staff, we will never visit this restaurant again. Management should really look into the behavior of their staff. They are extremely rude.

    This review will cover the following dishes: Appetizers: 1) Jumbo Lump Crab Cake 2) Pan Seared Diver Scallops w/ Braised Short Rib Entrees: 3) Fried "Chicken n' Waffles" 4) Japanese A5 Kobe Filet 5) 22 oz. Bone-In Rib Eye (w/ Peppercorn sauce) 6) Five Cheese Truffle "MAC" Desserts: 7) Key Lime Pie w/ Schlog 8) Fried Oreos w/ French Vanilla Ice Cream "Worth Every Penny" Prime. One. Twelve. Originally characterized to me by a few locals as "overpriced steak" I let an opportunity in South Beach pass by without trying it. However, after I left, I saw a nice feature on the restaurant and realized I absolutely had to go back and try it. I was not disappointed! As are many of the good steak places, Prime 112 is quite expensive, but it is worth every penny. I have only dined here once, so I can't speak to the consistency, but my experience was truly amazing. Now for the food: Appetizers: 1) Jumbo Lump Crab Cake - 8.5 out of 10. I've had some really good crab cakes. This wasn't the best I've had, but the flavor was somewhat unique which I appreciated. That being said, I hadn't had a crab cake this good in a while. Nice. 2) Scallops w/Short Rib - 10 out of 10. Wow. I'm a huge fan of both scallops and short rib. As a result I very often order both dishes when I find them on a menu. This dish at Prime 112 was one of the very best scallop dishes I have had. It had absolutely amazing flavor that was not overly rich. Scallops cooked perfectly and short rib was very tender. Absolute must try. Entrees: 3) Fried "Chicken n' Waffles" - 8 out of 10. As far as Chicken and Waffles goes, it was good. But, don't waste your time with this dish. There are too many other amazing things to try while at Prime 112. 4) Japanese A5 Kobe Filet - 10 out of 10. No words describe this steak. It is ultra expensive, but even if you get a 2 oz. piece to taste (the minimum order size) it is worth the try. This is the highest grade of authentic Kobe. The marbling is evenly distributed throughout the meat so you get amazing flavor in each bit without having to eat around any fat. The cook was absolutely perfect. The flavors were absolutely amazing. Simply: wow. 5) 22 oz. Bone-In Rib Eye - 10 out of 10. This is another spectacular steak. I'm a fan of Rib Eye steaks due to the marbling and flavor. This steak was good brilliantly, flavored wonderfully, and the peppercorn sauce (must be ordered separately) really took it to another level. Overall, this was simply amazing. 6) Five Cheese Truffle "MAC" - 8.5 out of 10. Usually even the best steakhouses fall utterly short on the mac and cheese. This was a valiant attempt - better than most. Desserts: 7) Key Lime Pie - 9 out of 10. Super fresh, tangy, a little bit sweet - really couldn't ask for anything more out of a key lime. 8) Fried Oreos - 10 out of 10. Do not leave this restaurant without having the fried Oreos. Scores a 10 on all fronts including taste, execution, creativity, and plating. I expected the Oreos to be crunchy on the inside, but they were soft. There's really not much to say about this other than to emphasize how amazing these taste. Overall, Prime One Twelve was amazing. It had wonderful food; friendly and knowledgeable wait staff, and the charm of South Beach. You may have to save up a little for that special night out, but it is really worth it. Next time I'm in Miami, I will look forward to coming back here.

    Best steak ever , I have nothing but good things to say about this place. My boyfriend and I went to prime on a Saturday & they were really busy but the wait time was less than 20 mins .. We arrived around 12:45 am . I ordered an 8oz steak and my bf ordered an enormous T-bone steak . We had a view drinks and also to top it off we had fired Oreos . The experience and food was worth it and I will be coming back again this month .

    They only got a star because zero isn't an option. If you aren't familiar with the "Prime" chain, this is one of three that I know of....the others are "Prime Italian" and "Prime Fish". I've eaten at all of them and they have always been packed which should be a great sign, right? I have always found the food to be above average and the service about the same. Until last weekend that is. We had a reservation for 3, including an out of towner from NYC. Our reservation was at 930, and we arrived a few minutes early to find the check in line at least twenty people deep. Not a great start. It took 15 minutes to check in. As the restaurant is small, we had to wait in front of the restaurant....and wait...and wait...in a crowd of cigarette smoke mixed with a myriad of hideous perfumes. Finally at 10:30, a full hour after our reservation, we stood in the check in line again...and slipped the hostess some cash. We were seated shortly after that. When I say "seated", I should probably clarify. We were actually walked around the corner to one of two tables on the sidewalk on 1st street. We literally couldn't actually see any other tables at all as ours was clearly not a regular part of the restaurant.... We also had some sort of wind tunnel effect so I spent my dinner freezing my buns off and trying to keep my hair from turning into dreadlocks. Why didn't we move tables you might ask? That's because the hostess ran as far and as fast as she could after seating us, obviously aware of the absurdity. The poor waitress did her best but it's pretty hard to wait on a table that is down the street. The table next to us left shortly after we were seated so it was just us and the sidewalk. We would have left but as it was 1045 pm we were too hungry to walk away. I called the next day and left a message for the GM to call me as I felt we deserved at least a partial refund.... He never called back. I also emailed both him and the owner Myles Chefetz... No reply. The lack of respect for their patrons is appalling. Why bother taking reservations? At least people know what to expect when they go to Joe's. I will NEVER step foot in any of their restaurants again and will make a point of letting everyone I know about my experience. Shame on you!

    Not my first time there but definitely over rated! Had a reservation and still waited 2 hours for a table standing at the over crowded bar. Once we got to our table the food was good but not the best meal I ever had and the service wasn't terrible but definitely not attentive. For what we spent I expected at least a clean bathroom but that really was the kicker for me! The bathroom was horrible! Just feel like for what you will spend a clean bathroom and great service aren't too much to ask.

    This was an amazing place to eat. Kyle was awesome and he did a great job keeping me and my fiancé happy. I was scared to pay $230 for a steak but I realized that it was very well worth it. This is my second time to Florida and my first time to Miami. If you come to Miami please visit Prime one twelve but be sure to get the Deep fried Oreos! And ask for Kyle!

    Wish you could leave 0 stars. I have been here 5 or so times and never been impressed. Two weeks ago went here with my business partner and CFO with wives. I have never had such amazingly bad service to go along with mediocre incredibly over priced food. Our waiter was a complete ass and after he spilled water on my CFOs wife and barely apologized it got confrontational. Then, not one of the douche bags with ear pieces even bothered to come to our table to apologize or even offer a free overly cheesy dry biscuit. This place is a tourist trap defined. Please go to many wonderful places like Pubbelly guys places or Yardbird and save $$$$$$. If you want steak Red or Meat Market are MUCH better. This place sucked when it was small and now it's sprawling and the experience is total crap.

    I gave Prime 112 one star because ZERO stars is not possible. I will never go again and give these people my money. I have eaten at countless restaurants all over the world. I have never been treated so poorly in my life. I made reservation for 9pm and called 3 hours in advance to confirm that there would be minimal/no wait. Upon arrival we were told to wait in line like it was a NIGHT CLUB where the rules don't apply to the movie stars and pro athletes who stroll in like kings. Miami is full of great restaurants that treat their customers as they should be treated.

    As a disclaimer, I came here to Prime 112 with a group of about 20 people for a business dinner, we were offered a pre-fixe menu that had been set by the company hosting us, seafood appetizers and desserts were served "family-style" and I never saw a price list or bill, nor did we need to wait to be seated due to our arrangement. While this review does summarize my experience at this restaurant, the info. above should be taken into account as well. I arrived right on time for our 7 p.m. meal on this Tuesday night, spoke to host, explained which party I was there to meet with and he escorted me back out the front door of the restaurant, we walked all the way down to 1st street, turned the corner and he took me into an entrance there which led to a separate dining space with a glass wall overlooking Ocean Drive, with a warm, modern and updated décor (including 2 chandelier-type light fixtures which were actually made of several drafting desk lamps). We were offered champagne, then the staff set out 4 large ice filled bowls that contained lobster, oysters, dishes of crab meat, and some of the largest shrimp I've seen, along with every type of corresponding sauce and condiment imaginable; Basically they served every selection from this restaurant's raw bar menu, but family style. Everything I tried was excellent, very fresh and flavorful. For dinner, we were given a choice of 4 different salads or appetizers. I chose the hearts of romaine ceasar, which was excellent. For my entrée, I had the 8oz filet....So flavorful and cooked perfectly. Normally I like to have a bit of steak sauce on the side, but this cut was so juicy and flavorful, that no sauce or any other type of enhancement was needed. When our entrees were brought to us, they also sat out servings of creamed spinach, truffle mac and cheese and grilled asparagus for all to share. Again, everything I tried was incredibly good, and my mouth waters heavily even now a few weeks later as I write this review. For dessert, as with the raw bar selections earlier, they set out several trays that contained about 1/2 dozen selections from their dessert menu to try. I only had a few tastes of 2 or 3 of the offerings, as by this time I was quite full and my taste buds were already overwhelmed. We didn't experience any celebrity sightings on this night, and when I came home and looked at their actual menu and checked out the prices, they weren't as high as I thought they'd be considering some of the reviews I'd read. I'll definitely be back here, as in my opinion, considering the quality of the foods, the preparation, the amount of incredible flavor and the fact that my mouth still waters even now days later, I think this prices are acceptable, but would most likely reserve this place for a very special occasion.

    Prime one twelve is the place to go in south beach. The restaurant is nice, usually crowded. It is modern style but yet fancy. Service is pretty good. They start bringing some fresh bread 3 different flavors, delicious. Drinks are very well prepared. I've only tried steaks and they are awesome. If you are in south beach and want to have a nice dinner before partying..... This is it

    My wife and I had a 730 reservation and showed up on time. We didn't get seated until well after 8:30. I asked for bread to hold us over and even that took about 15 minutes to arrive. When I made the reservation I let them know it was a special honeymoon dinner but they could not have cared less. This place has great food but a dining experience is more than food alone. It's about the total experience. For that reason people need to know that this restaurant does not treat its customers the way they should be treated for the amount of $$ they are spending.

    Came here with two of my best friends. We started off our meal with a Signature Salad and do not be scared of the price. That 20 dollar salad is HUGE and the 3 of us had a good amount of salad. My friends had the Grilled Wild King Salmon & Soy Marinated Chilean Sea Bass and by the looks on their face they were enjoying every bite of it. Me, the meat lover had a filet mignon and it was the BEST filet mignon I ever had. So perfectly cooked! Oh we also order mashed sweet potatoes. They were tasty as well but a little too sweet for our taste. Prime one twelve might be a little pricey but their portions are very decent, we left with a doggie bag... And trust me US three we know how to eat!

    So with all the hype and my love of the other restaurants from this group I was sure this was going to be an experience to remember. But alas, I was left wanting more. Definitely don't go here for a romantic experience, got seated in the main dining room which is a scene, exciting but not romantic. So for the food.... Got started with the Tuna Tartare, interesting and tasty. Steak is not the best around but still delicious. Finished off with the Cheesecake which was to die for. I had no hassles with reservations or getting seated timely. The staff was very friendly. Our waiter went out of his way to take care of us and made it a worthwhile experience. Overall I don't think I'll be a repeat visitor. Prime Italian has a much better atmosphere. ....So i did revisit, with friends. Apps were great, steak was OK, dessert was to die for. Peanut Butter smore is a revelation, MUST HAVE!!! Also tried the creme brulee which was good, but not memorable.

    One of my favorite places to eat in Miami. Yes, its touristy. Yes, its overpriced. But the service and quality of food is as good as it gets. Some dishes worth mentioning are the fried chicken and waffles, french onion soup, truffle mac, and deep fried oreos and red velvet cupcakes. Yum! The bacon they offer at the bar if you have to wait for your table is pretty unique. You might be lucky enough to spot a celebrity here as this is a hotspot for people watching.

    This place is absolutely AMAZING!! The salads are enormous and literally fed a table of 8 people. Now I'm from Los Angeles and there is a place called Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. The chicken and waffles served at Prime 112 KILLED Roscoe's!!!...by far!! I can't wait to go back and taste other items on the menu. If you are in Miami, this place is a MUST!!!

    Avoid this wildly over-rated restaurant! My girlfriend and I stayed at the Hilton Bentley hotel across the street from Prime 112. Because it was so convenient and highly-touted, we made a reservation two weeks in advance for the two of us at 7:00 Friday night. We dropped by that afternoon to make sure the restaurant had our reservation and the hostess told us that if we arrived a bit early we would likely have our choice of tables inside or out. We arrived at 6:45 and were told to wait at the bar for our table to become available. The first sign of trouble was when we ordered a bottle of wine at the bar and it took 25 minutes for it to show up. Needless to say, we were already a bit annoyed that we were still waiting for our table. After an hour at the bar we considered walking but my girlfriend checked with the hostess who told her that she was just coming to get us which turned out to be a flat-out lie as another thirty minutes went by before the hostess finally came to get us and escort us to our table. At that point, we were so full from stuffing ourselves with the bacon they have at the bar and drinking a bottle of wine that we were barely interested in dinner. We were tempted to order a couple of appetizers and occupy the table for about three hours to exact some revenge, but opted instead to go ahead and order a fillet (to split between us) as we had heard that they are fabulous. The food was good, but no better than any of a dozen steak houses in Chicago and definitely not worth the inexcusably long wait - it was very obvious that the hostess was bumping us to the back of the line every time someone showed up who knew somebody or was a local VIP wannabe. Our strong advice is to avoid this wildly over-rated restaurant and, instead treat yourself to one of the very charming sidewalk cafes in the Espanola district or along Lincoln Avenue.

    High-end service, food and decor without too much pretension. The fried oreos are delightful as is the truffle mac & cheese. You can't go wrong with anything you order really. This is a great place to come to break the routine and treat yourself and/or your loved ones to quality & decadance.

    Reservations do not matter at Prime 112. We had 7:30 reservations and ended up with a table at 8:30. The table we ended up with was outside and, sure enough, it began to rain. It was clear that management had not considered this possibility. All in all a horrible experience. The food was good (not great), but certainly not worth putting up with some of the worst service we have experienced. Avoid Prime 112!!

    Saturday, March 24th, 2012 8:10 PM Hosts was FABULOUS Manager; Derik [I think] was Kind However!!!! The 2 waiters that worked our table [lower outdoor patio very far corner of Ocean & 1st] never once made eye-contact with us, when he read the special he practically ran away when we were ready to order so we waited and waited. Ordered was placed again no eye contact everything was rushed. What gets my goat is all the money one spends and the B/S service you get. I don't care who comes into your restaurant doesn't mean you should treat the others like crap. It's usually the ones that are quiet, blend in are the ones with the most money. The steak was full of grissle and at these prices I'd expect as close to perfection as possible come on I'm originally from Chicago and know my meat. Don't mess with this kid Star Rating is Based on the Service then Food!

    The restaurant gets two stars. This four-star rating rating is for their SUPERB hostess, Natasha. We made a reservation for 8:30 and didn't seat till 10:15. All the while getting zero answers from the lady running the door, NOT Natasha. The entire experience was soured by the ridiculous wait and main host. Sure it sucks having to deal with an army of starved and irritable guests, but sorry honey it's your job to play nice. Now, let's back up the bus. This restaurant is crazy busy. It's like it's the end of the world and everyone needs a t-bone now. People were jammed into their 6-inch wide bar, desperately hoping their names were going to be called. Luckily Olga and her team of hot bar mistresses were pouring fast drinks and passing out communal goblets of bacon strips to help pass the time. And yes people, they're for everyone to stick their fingers in, so bring your own sani-wipes. The food was tasting, not obscenely priced; the ambiance was great. The managers, esp Matt, who once got a word of our situation (re: 70 mins into it) were very professional and tried to remedy the situation ASAP. Natasha, the only person who dared navigating through the bar of patrons, was amazing. She tried to offer multiple solutions to assist us and was sincere about the scenario. Prime one twelve should make her run the door and tell the other one to wash the pots in the back. Overall, nice meal. But, thanks but no thanks. I'll be spending my Benjamin's elsewhere in Miami from now on.

    Meh.. not the best steak house I've been to. First the review of the service: poor at best. Had reservations and had to wait in a 45 min line just to check in. Wtf?? Then after checking in had to wait another 40 min to get a table. When we did get a table they sat us outside on plastic chairs in the rain!!! Seriously. No joke. At that point I was over it since we waited forever to get a table and I knew I wouldn't be eating for a while if I gave up my table. There was absolutely no organization to the place. It was an absolute circus. Review of the food: overall it was good. I'm from LA so after eating at Cut, Mastros, STK, this place was average. I had the filet. It was tender and had a crisp crust. The sides, scallop potatoes and mac & cheese were great and decadent. They have some different menu items such as chicken and waffles and a meat ball. After all the hype and the notoriety I expected more from this place. I guess you pay for the popularity and the name. Thats it. I wont be coming back here again. Poor service and average food.

    Crazy lines even after making a dinner reservation here. Just guessing this is one of Miami's hotspots for celebs & locals alike. Once we were finally seated the service was good. We ordered a bunch of things to share. Started with the poppyseed salad, seafood plater and truffled mac & cheese. All were tastey but not the best I've ever had. Too much truffle oil in the Mac. Our waitress was sweet, and very on top of making sure to never let a drink empty or a dirty napkin get used again. The space was small but the music was good (Jay Z all night) the people watching also another great entertainment factor. Once our meals starting coming out we realized just how much we over ordered. A 12 oz filet was enough for 2-3 people, the seabass was delicious, the shortrib was flavorful, we also tried the Kobe hotdog which was footlong and had everyone laughing at what a sight it was. I LOVED the mashed potatoes and all the yummy cheesey bread that came out in the beginning of the meal. Definately a must see for people visiting South Beach.

    I work hard for my money. I've been all over the world and eaten at the top restaurants in Asia, America, and wherever. With all of that being said I won't spend a dime at a pretentious sh*thole that doesn't seem to care whether I eat there or not. I made a 9pm reservation and it was 10pm and they still hadn't seated us. We were reduced to standing at the overcrowded bar with 100 other miserable people eating strips of bacon from community bins. If you have self-respect, don't eat here. In my opinion it's better to "be seen" walking away from this place than into it.

    I have such mixed feelings on Prime One Twelve. Overall, 4 stars is about the best I'd ever be able to give this restaurant. They probably deserve a 3 if you take all of their pompous BS into consideration. The hostess (Vivian or something like that. Thin black lady with a shaved head.) deserves 0 stars and a kick in the ass. She is s0o0o0o0o0o lucky that she is working for a restaurant in South Beach where no rules apply. She'd never make it in 99% of other occupations. The most rude and obnoxious human being you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. My brother and I had reservations for 9pm this last Saturday evening. We knew we weren't going to be seated at the time of our reservation, but I never thought it would take until 10:45pm to be seated. The thing that irritates me is that they seat people without reservations throughout the entire evening. I get that they are going to make special considerations for people they know and/or celebrities..... but the regular Joe who doesn't have a reservation should not be able to sit down for dinner until the end of the evening. Oh well, that isn't how they run their restaurant, and people keep packing the joint, so there is no reason to change. Since the broski and I realized the deal with the long waits, we fired up a cigar out front and enjoyed that before our meal. We started with a Poke appetizer, which is considered to be the kobe beef of big eye tuna. The tuna appetizer was absolutely amazing. The texture was like nothing I've ever tasted in Tuna before. If I blindfolded you at the table and told you to try it, the last thing you ever would have guessed was that you were eating Tuna. Supposedly they had to fly someone to Hawaii to get this "rare gem" and although it was delicious, probably wasn't worth $45. As for the main course and sides, we decided to split the Bone-in Rib-eye for 2. A generous 30oz cut that was very tender and served with a horseradish cream sauce that we paid $3 or $4 for. I've never, EVER, dined at a restaurant where they have the balls to charge you a few bucks for steak sauce, but again, I guess rules are different in the almighty South Beach. The sides were nothing to write home about. The White Truffle Hand Cut French Fries were good, but I got so tired of the taste after a handful of them. The Broccoli Rabe was our other side and it was forgettable. It had diced chiles which just didn't add anything to the dish. We probably should have gone with the Hash browns, Lobster Mac and Cheese, and/or creamed spinach with crispy shallots. Overall, the meal was good. Like others have said, if you want to people watch then this is absolutely the place for you. Just remember.... Prime One Twelve is NOT a good place for a date or to bring your family members. They will complain the entire time that they have to wait so long for a table. This is a good spot if you have time to kill, don't care about wasting your entire evening on dinner, and don't mind being treated like they are doing you such a favor by letting you sit down and dine with them. Boy, I am SO thankful that I do not live in Miami. There is only so much of that attitude I can take.

    Amazing ambiance and of course FOOD!!!! You cannot go wrong with this steak house. Beautiful restaurant very elegant and chic. Came here for dinner while on vacation during Labor Day weekend with me and my girl friends bill came out to a little over $200 which included a round of drinks 3 orders of Filet Mignon (so tender and mouth watering) and a few sides. We were seated outdoors and right away I think the inside seating was a long wait but we enjoyed the outside patio. Amazing service you do not even need to think twice about coming here!

    Ran about 30 slow on our reservation, so we sat at the bar which was cramped and they had bacon in a wine glass as a bar snack, so that was fun. Great food (creamed spinach not so much). Not a bad place.

    Weekend getaway to Miami and I called over a month in advance for a reservation, for Saturday night, I was given 7:30pm. Well, we waited almost 2 hours for our table!! The girls at reception continually told me they had to ask "the manager" how much longer we had to wait, I was pushed off with that excuse for over an hour!! Never once we were offered a drink or even a piece of bread while we waited. We planned our day around this reservation, so needless to say, we were starving!!!!!!! If you plan to go to Prime 112 on a Saturday night, plan to eat very very late!!!

    I came here with my ex last fall because it was one of his favorite spots. I ordered the French onion soup which had this weird crumbly texture I just didn't enjoy. The flavor wasn't for me either. So I sent it back and got the tomato soup which was the best tomato soup I've ever had. I detected a hint of cinammon and asked the waiter if he'd ask the chef about it. ALLSPICE. My flavor detective work wasn't too far off. I believe I had a steak, but the fact that I don't remember it very well says that it wasn't the best in the realm of expensive steakhouses. My ex's chicken and waffles, on the other hand, were phenominal. Before trying chicken and waffles, I thought it was some artery clogging death dish straight out of the dirty south. It is actually one of the best things ever and I'm really sad it isn't more readily available in Michigan. Take a perfectly crisped belgian waffle sprinkled with powdered sugar with some fried (but not too greasy) chicken and dip it in maple syrup and you will reach a level of joy that only Aunt Jemima knows. I knew there was a reason she was smiling. And now I know why they call it "soul food". I think I ate back approximately 1/12th of my soul. So now I only need to eat chicken and waffles 11 more times to have my entire soul back. BREAD=amazing. I think they had some assorted biscuit type deal going on? Either way I have a vague recollection of the bread being awesome and unique. My ex liked to order 174386 bread baskets so we'd be completely full before our meal. Pretty sure that's what happened here because I could never say "no" to the waiter before he said "yes". UGH...carbs. They get me every time. Our waiter was a cool bro, and the ambiance was nice. Location was meh--the outdoor patio was facing an uneventful street with a bunch of construction (at the time). We met a stellar couple at the table next to us who were huge fans of the place and had ordered a billion french fries. Overall it was a pleasant experience and definitely worth trying.

    As always, OUTSTANDING!!! We tried a few more things on our most recent visit this week. The tuna and ceviche apps were melt in your mouth delicious. As always, the filets were excellent, truffle mac and cheese, sauteed spianch and forest mushrooms are all so flavorful. I had a bite of the Chilian Sea Bass which was wonderful. Of course we couldn't leave without the Fried Oreos!

    To add protein to a salad is $10 extra, but to add onions, avocado, and cheese is $25 extra. #CommonSenseFail I understand they are trying to deter customization while donning an air of exclusivity vis-a-vis scarcity... Except for the minor detail that there's only two other people in here! Way over-rated.

    I have no complaints on this restaurant, me and my girls went there for an early dinner . For an appetizer I had AMAZING Steak Tartare , for dinner I had lump crap crusted grouper on a bed of spinach drizzled with this horseradish type of sauce. The service was awesome the food was amazing , I will defiantly go back . I think my bill came up to about $70.00 an that's including app, meal and a Bellini drink I had .

    Sad to say the steaks here have gone way way down hill. I have been to prime Italian and prime 112 twice in the last three weeks and I think they just have changed butchers or who they buy from because they always used to have good dry age on there steaks and now you can't even taste it. Tonight they were slammed but they didn't care about waits or the experience it was just bad food. But a few weeks ago they were not busy but they steak was still not good. Other dishes were ok both times but these guys are running out of steam fast.

  • Bethany L.

    The food was good, but not 'amazing'. It may be because we've been spoiled, but the steak did not impress. We went with the giant lobster as well and were a little let down, it was chewy. For the prices, I would have expected something a little nicer. The mac and cheese with truffles was delish tho, def order that! The food is all family style, so be careful, its easy to over order.

    The moment you step in, you can feel the amount of money this place attracts. It's very cozy but at the same time energetic. Girls, come here wearing a dress if possible. Pros: = The Seafood appetizer was incredible. (Ahi poke tuna - out of this world good, Stone crabs, Alaskan crabs, Large shrimps. All of this was extremely fresh and delicious. = Scallops appetizer was also very tender and tasty. = Asparagus was nice and crispy. = Truffle fries were extremely good. = Sweet potato fries were nice and sweet but I wish they had the thick cut ones that Joe's has. = Filet mignon was very tender but definitely not as good as Smith & Wollensky's. = The service was prompt and courteous. Cons: = The Snapper filet encrusted with crab was just horrible. It tasted old and was extremely bland. This is the reason why I didn't give this place a 5 star. = The Brussel Sprouts were too greasy. Tasted too much like butter. = Toward the end of the night, the place smelled like Truffle and this made me very nauseous. For those who don't want to do a sit down dinner, the bar area is small but it's cozy enough to sit down and enjoy some appetizers along with a bottle of wine. Overall, it was a wonderful experience in a very unique place.

    This place is lame. Total attitude for no reason. Food is medium and prices aren't worth it. I'm happy to over pay for good food but this experience sucks. They rush you to turn over the table and from the moment you walk in there is an attitude that makes you feel like your not good enough. I'm actually shocked that the hostesses act like that. I they were so great, intelligent and successful then they wouldn't be seating people. Also, there are no table cloths which takes away from fine dining experience. It felt like an upscale Denny's. I suggest they go to Mastros in LA to get the right idea of a steak house. Food not bad but the experience took away from the taste.

    Quite simply, Prime One Twelve is the best steakhouse that I have ever been to, and that list is quite extensive - surpassing Peter Luger and Keens in New York, Gibson's and David Burke in Chicago, Bobby Flay Steak in AC and Barclay Prime in Philadelphia. Not only was the food outstanding, but the service was too. And of course the scene was great and as expected - very South Beach. But, despite all of that, the food is the real star here. My waitress Catherine was exceptional; she was friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. I had a reservation at 7:00, and was seated as soon as I arrived at 6:45 on the patio. After the (amazing) bread basket, which has the best cheddar biscuit that I have ever tasted, I started with the Steak Tartare, which was served with crostini. The steak was perfectly seasoned, with spices and capers, in a light vinaigrette. Their version didn't come with the raw quail egg on top, which I actually prefer. Then I moved on to the real star of the meal - the 22 oz. Bone-In Ribeye. The ribeye was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and had a great char on the outside. As I said earlier, it surpassed every other steak that I have ever had. The side of sauteed forest mushrooms was excellent as well; they were served in a bordelaise-like sauce. I was too stuffed to even think about dessert, but they all looked and sounded incredible. However, I did polish the meal off with a very reasonably priced Johnnie Walker Blue Label. All-in-all, Prime One Twelve doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it doesn't have to. It beats everywhere else through great execution, great service, and an awesome scene.

    Never disappoints! I would give it a 5 star but the hostesses are a bit too snobby and make you wait unnecessarily. Even if you make a reservation on a 'prime' day thurs- sun... You will still have to wait to be seated. Great scene, great crowd, great ambience. Amazing food!

    Who goes to Prime 112 and doesn't order a succulently juicy, tender, perfectly cooked NY strip or Prime Rib? Me! Although they are delicious, the winner on the menu is the awesomely amazing Kobe Burger. This thing has to be a full 16 Oz. of top tier beef. It's one of those burgers you have no choice but to cut in half. Loving red meat, I order this baby Medium-Rare, and at 112, it certainly comes out that way! All of the starter salads are delicious, and as a side, I'd suggest the French Fries or amazing Hash Browns that they offer. On a Saturday or Sunday, the Bar is a happening spot with plenty of classy, upscale clientele to strike up a good convo with! Oh ya, **Make sure you call ahead and get yourself a reservation for dinner, that is, unless you'd like a 1-2 hour pre-game at the Bar! Prime is an experience, so go, eat good food, and enjoy yourself... you might be lucky enough to see a celebrity or two!

    Last night we ate at Prime One Twelve. The valet tried to charge us $40 when we overheard him charge car next to us $20! Our reservation was honored and table ready. We ordered drinks and when we passed on ordering the "platter" appetizer. The waiter instantly acted like we were a bother. After ordering a bottle of wine, he brought one and displayed it quickly to us. Luckily, one of us does know wine and looked at the bottle and realized that was not what he ordered....it was over 3 times the cost! Beware and always look before you drink. The food was mediocre. All of South Beach adds tip of 20% automatically to bill, but rarely do they tell you so. When we went to get our car they told us 30 minute wait. We will not return and do not understand any accolades this restaurant receives.

    The evening did not start good. Our reservation was for 8:30, and when we arrived, the check in was a madhouse. Something has to be done about the reservation system and check in process. It was horrible! After about 15 minutes, I finally got to the Maitre D, and checked in. It was right at 8:30. We didn't get seated until 9:15. Very frustrating beginning to our evening. Fortunately, that was the worst of it, and the food we were about to experience more then made up for the failures of the front desk!!! In fact, honestly, I forgot about it until I sat down to write this review. This was one of, if not THE best all around meal I've ever had. My words can't do the food it's justice, so I'll just do my quick synopsis. We started with this unbelievable tuna sashimi that was just out of this world. It wasn't even on the menu, and was a special, so I don't know how long they'll have it, but if they do, GET IT! Following we ordered the arugula salad with goat cheese crochets. I really enjoyed this, especially since the goat cheese was encrusted and deep fried. It allowed me to determine how much cheese I wanted to eat without having it sprinkled all over the salad. But the crust on the cheese balls was yum. For our main meal my wife ordered the fillet, and I ordered the rib eye. My wife ordered hers med rare, but it was definitely not. It was more like medium at best, but she didn't seem to mind. I ordered med rare, and mine was spot on. Really great steaks! And we ordered the truffle creamed corn as our side dish. That stuff was YUM! We ate every last bit. The table next to us was raving about the deep fried oreos for dessert, but we were both so full at this point that we couldn't do it. Still a little upset with myself for missing out, but hey, you have to draw the line somewhere. A side note: we saw a whole host of NBA celebrities while we were there. It's great for star sightings! This is definitely one of the most expensive meals I've ever paid for two people, but I would do it all over again if given the opportunity! Prepare yourself going in that getting seated can be torturous, but that once seated, it will be worth it all. Because I forgot about the seating debacle until now, I stuck with 5 stars! But seriously Prime 112, get it together up front!!!

  • Caroline C.

    Excellent food! I had the 12oz filet with a side of garlic mashed potatoes. Which were excellent. I got a sauce too but sadly I can't remember the name. For dessert I got the Peanut Butter S'more which was out of this world! It had vanilla ice cream in the middle of it and was absolutely delightful!

  • Brittany R.

    I've now been here twice. I've never been unsatisfied with the service, however the parking (valet) is absurd. It's $25 to valet a car, which is pretty disgusting. Joe's down the street doesn't even charge a third of that cost. When you pay so much to go to a nice place, they have nerve to charge that to drive your car a block away. The food was great both times. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the sides were great. We all ordered filets. The mac and cheese was delicious. The asparagus and the potatoes are also great. The scallop appetizer was everyones favorite thing all night. Was absolutely amazing. I always leave feeling sick from over eating. Don't plan a night out after this place. You'll never make it. Dinner is a slow wine and dine type, will always be at least 2 hours. Definitely make a reservation, the wait gets to be extremely long after 6:30.

    NEVER AGAIN. I'd give it no stars if I could. We had a 9:30 reservation for my birthday, just 2 of us, made months in advance. We arrived at 9, knowing how crazy it would be. Should have gone to Ruth's instead. To the frizzy haired hostess that just stepped out of 1982, news flash--15 year old high school kids are capable of doing your job, quit acting like you deserve celebrity treatment. Making us beg for you to even check in because your too busy flipping papers around, then telling us we would have a wait of less than 30 mins knowing that's not true, is a completely unacceptable way to treat people when you're a restaurant hostess, one step above a janitor. Needless to say, we waited...and waited...and were NEVER seated. All night. If you can't seat people, don't take reservations. I understand waiting 30 minutes or so on a Friday night with a reservation...but not ever being seated at a "world class" steakhouse is absolutely unacceptable. I'd recommend anywhere in Miami over this dump. I'd rather order Pizza Hut then set foot in Prime 112 again.

    I get taken out here at least once a year when I'm in Miami. At the beginning of "South Beach", so you're not quite in the hectic uber-touristy area. To avoid the wait, we were sat outside once on a seemingly clear night--started sprinkling at dessert and downpour once the bill was paid. On another night when we had a party of 8, we were sat in the back away from the crowds and the experience was most enjoyable. However, this place is very busy and the spaces are super tight. I think the most spacious area was the men's bathroom! The simple fact that it's a near-fight to simply maneveur around the reception area and bar downgrades the experience (only because you're likely to wait). The food is good. Ordered a shrimp dish and I swear, the shrimp were the size of sausage. I ended up eating at the bar and the drinks were also well-prepared, especially any with blue cheese stuffed olives. Cougars and Tommy Bahama-lovers everywhere.

    I've eaten here several times and have always called to make a reservation in advance. Showing up at the time of your reservation does not guarantee that you will be seated at that time. I've waited anywhere from 15 minutes to nearly two hours past my reservation time before I have been seated. The wait time tends to be shorter if you dine on a weekday or if you have a smaller group of people, but the restaurant is always packed. Dining inside versus outside can be a tough decision, and is largely dependent on the weather. Sitting on the outdoor patio grants you a prime seat for people watching. The possibilities of what you will see are endless... celebrities, expensive cars, questionable attire, and male/female combinations that will leave you guessing as to whether they are husband/wife, father/daughter, father/granddaughter, or male/female escort. The service as this restaurant used to be much better. While you can count on your water or wine glass being full, the attention to detail that used to be standard is now lacking. Waiters/waitresses used to be much more attentive. For example, during my most recent visit, I noticed that the waiter did not assist with serving sides (i.e. salad) which can be tricky to serve because it arrives piled high on a plate and if not served properly, will cause a mess on the table. Also during my last visit, the entrees did not arrive at the table at the same time. There was at least a 5 minute wait between the arrival of my boyfriend's steak and my dinner salad (the salad arrived last). I normally think it's rude to start eating before all of the food arrives, but I urged my boyfriend to start eating because I didn't want his meat to get cold. Otherwise, the servers are always friendly and will happily ensure that you leave with a full stomach and a shopping bag of leftovers. I should note that I am a vegetarian (no meat, no fish), but the salads and sides are delicious. Despite my food preferences and the fact that I am dining at a steakhouse, I do highly recommend the signature salad (romaine, spinach, hearts of palm, asparagus, tomatoes, etc. - minus bacon!), and the sweet potato vanilla bean mash (tastes like dessert)! The only input I can provide about the meat is that my boyfriend has always raved about the meat entrees that he has ordered, but hasn't cared for the additional sauces. Whether you live in Miami or are vising from out of town, it's worth eating here at least once if you can get a reservation.

    Very busy, jammin' Miami hotspot filled to the brim with as many tables they can possibly squeeze into the place. One of my reasons for knocking off a star. The bread that they serve comes warm and is so good that you can't stop eating it. Caesar salad could feed 6 people, and was good, but not necessarily the best I've ever had. Sometimes when portions come in such a large size, it kind of ruins it for me. I would take quality over quantity any day. Lump meat crab cocktail was terrific! Very spicy sauce with extra hoseradish! Mmmmm! Truffled lobster mac and cheese is so rich and creamy, delicious! The steaks (NY Strip and Filet) were perfectly cooked, had lots of flavor, juicy, good crust, and were delectable. We also ordered some kind of peanut butter and marshmallow dessert. It was sickeningly sweet and just so-so. Again with the enormous portioned dessert...Maybe we just picked the wrong thing... Will definitely come back with more people to share new entrees with!

    Love this placee! Good: -Staff is friendly -Decoration is nice. - Starters: The Tomato Basil soup is incredible. Everytime I go, I order it. The portion is big and it comes with a super tasty cheese bread. The oysters from their special menu are amazing. The french onion is also really good but you cant beat the tomato basil soup -Main course: the steaks are yumm yumm yumm, you cant do wrong with their steak. I highly recommend ordering the steak if its the first time you go.The hawaiian big tuna is also incredible. -The sides are gigantic! One side is enough for 3 hungry people. The spinach is really good and extra creamy - The bread that they bring is sooooo good. Three different kinds and all amazing -I've only tried the Oreos for dessert and they are sooo good Bad: -Parking is always a pain but totally worth it -Not a big fan of their grouper fish

    Dessert Alert! Save space for the amazing dessert selections. We ordered the Amazing Reeses Pie, Mini Donuts, and Killer Fried Oreos. The fact that the jerk waiter challenged my tri-dessert order stating "that's a lot" (while staring at me and my 3 lovely female table mates) almost drove me to order another one, but I got my told you so when he removed the three nearly licked clean dessert plates. I called late in the afternoon to make a reservation and the earliest they could accommodate four was 11pm. At 9 we decided to take a risk and show up early grab a drink and see if we could get seated early. When we got there we were told that seating was available at the restaurant across the street which is 'the same' but has a different name or be seated outside immediately. The weather was reasonably nice and we were pretty hungry so we opted to sit outside. At first we were excited to have fans but then we realized that the fans were annoying and managed to irritate all of our eyes. So beware of where you are seated. Now to the meal. Let me preface this by saying that I love Miami and all of it's show me what you got glory. But as we all know looks are not everything, a restaurant and its meals still need substance and lets face it Prime 112 is a pretty restaurant with little substance. We started off with an order of premium oysters (I can't remember what kind I ordered). The oysters did not seem fresh. I feel that restaurants located near the ocean should uphold a high standard for great seafood, and these oysters were far from great. Next we ordered the chilled lobster cocktail which did live up to my good seafood standard and was great to share. We all ordered filet mignons with assorted chapeauxs, mine was cheese and mushrooms. I felt the cheese was salty and after a couple bites it managed to drown out the little flavor my filet had. For sides we ordered Truffled Mac & Cheese, Broccoli Fondue (which really was just Brocolli smothered in very salty cheese), Mashed Potatoes, and Mushrooms. They were all lack luster but the leader of this not so impressive pack was the side of mushrooms. Overall, I felt the food looked nice on the outside but lacked the depth of flavor I would get at a traditional good old stake-house, the service was pretty crummy, but the dessert was amazing! If I ever returned it would be just to grab a drink and dessert at the bar and enjoy the ambiance.

    The food was beyond amazing. Totally worth the 30 minute wait after our reservation scheduled time. Make sure to save room for desert & to be ok in crowded places. Even at 10pm on a Saturday night, this place is PACKED!

    Fantastic spot for dinner/ drinks in South Beach. Highly recommend sitting at the bar and snacking on the complementary apple smoked bacon. We enjoyed the Arugula Salad w/ Roasted Beets, Goat Cheese Croutons & Aged Balsamic Vinegar and the Pan Seared Diver Scallops w/ Slow Braised Short Rib, Truffle Mash & Pinot Noir Sauce. I also hear the Fried Oreos w/French Vanilla Ice Cream are to die for.

    Out of all the restaurants on the strip this is one of the two amazingly good ones on the pricey side but so worth it . From the drinks to the food is great but try and not visit during a tourist rush or you will be waiting on service .

    This used to be my favorite restaurant until Prime Italian opened across the street. I still love the fact that every time I have been here I have seen a celebrity. Usually if there is a concert or sporting event in town, this will be one of the hot spots they could end up at. I feel that if you are going to go to Prime Italian then ordering a steak is a must. They are all delicious so order your steak as you enjoy it prepared. The side dishes are fantastic and I always joke that I could go to Prime Italian and make a meal out of only ordering the side dishes. I highly recommend the creamed corn and the mac and cheese (also served with lobster!). I am not a fan of brussel sprouts, but I am told they are delicious too. It is tremendously hard to save space for dessert, but if you do you won't have space for long! I love the fried oreos or large baked chocolate chip cookies with ice cream. Bring your camera when you go. No matter when I have dined here, I have always seen a celebrity.

    What does Prime One Twelve think it is? Listen, you're not in NY or DC. So, chill. You are NOT going to make me wait more than a damn HOUR to get seated after making a reservation. No, thank you, I would prefer to eat 5 day-old pizza served by a 60-year-old man with no teeth. I've worked too hard and frankly, I'm too fancy to wait.

    Went with a group of 20 for dinner & drinks on a Fri 4/19/13. Really cool place, with a great scene. The place was packed, and even with our huge group, we were able to get drinks at the bar (tight quarters - we kinda occupied the whole bar area) and get seated very close to our rez time. 5 of us decided to eat/drink like it was our last meal, and ordered 2 Ribeyes for Two, and 1 Porterhouse for Two. Lots of wine and sides for the table, including the wine glass filled with crispy bacon strips. Everything was good and our server took control of the table and banged out the entire order effortlessly. Will definitely return here.

    One of my absolute FAVORITE steakhouse restaurants EVER !!!!!!!!!!! The lobster bisque is to DIE for, right along with everything else on the menu from the NY strip steak to the Kobe beef burger and stuffed lobster tail...I've tried almost every item they have there...NO COMPLAINTS!!!!!! The Service has always been outstanding as well :)

    Pros: 1. Great people watching 2. Great menu, quality, presentation & service 3. Exceeds expectations every time 4. Chocolate Peanut Butter S'Mores - to die for 5. Portions are huge, but still fantastic (quality AND quantity) 6. Sides are as great as the entrees 7. Cool ambience Cons: 1. It's loud 2. All those people to watch are sometimes obnoxious 3. It's expensive, but you've got to know that going in 4. Tables are close together 5. South Beach valet parking is absurd

    This place is amazing. Bf and I came here for the first time our last trip to Miami and before we reserved our hotel rooms we made a reservation to come here. The food really is great. We shared the smaller bone in ribeye, 20 oz i think. And we had plenty left over. The truffle Mac n cheese is to die for and crispy white truffle fries are yummy too. We also had an added bonus of sitting like a foot away from Jaime foxx and were audience to a 30 minute joke-a-thon!!! Fun!! Though when I snapped a photo of our bone in ribeye to share with friends and not of Jaime it was very clear where my priorities were that evening!!

    As long as you have the peso's you'll enjoy an amazing meal. Started with the largest and freshest shrimp cocktail I have ever had. I've enjoyed this staple at many NYC joints but never like this. My girlfriend had the crab cakes and it was perfect. Each were prepared with care and a professionals touch. Next I had the Lobster roll and she had the steak sandwich. Both continued to be spectacular. Our waiter played the kind of roll I'd expect in this type of place. Witty but also able to give great recommendations. Throughout the meal I enjoyed a moscow mule and she guzzled pinot grigio. Boy do I enjoy the finer things in life.

    The food at Prime One Twelve is positively outstanding. I base this on the kobe beef meatballs, bone-in ribeye, truffled french fries, creamed spinach and fried oreos. Just looking at pictures of other selections makes my mouth water. But more than the food, I must applaud them for their above-and-beyond service. I am currently in a unique situation - after coming to Miami on vacation, I broke my water at 29 weeks pregnant, and have been on bed rest at Mount Sinai for 5 weeks. I am now scheduled to be induced, and my husband wanted to plan a special, last supper of sorts before the big day. Prime One Twelve came through big time, comping us those meatballs I spoke of, and DELIVERING the food to the hospital (via the hands of chef Mike Sabin!). That a restaurant of this caliber would even think twice about my situation and accommodate it in such an above and beyond way is unheard of. Prime One Twelve - you're a classy joint.

    Had 6:30 reservation. Got there at 6:20. Checked in and was told there was a 1 hour wait We were persistent and they ultimately sat us "next door" at Prime Hotel twenty minutes later. Food with huge portions, expensive, typical fatty greasy steak house. Other reviews confirm same issue about long waits Food may be good. But customer service not a priority Take business ELSEWHERE ...consumer be aware!

    Just go there. No review will give it justice. If you're not famous you will need a reservation a month in advance and depending on your credit limit you may need multiple CC's for the bill.

    Realized I had left this review on the wrong Prime... Redo.. Good, but not the formidable force of dining experience I had expected. Maybe there was too much hype and like that highly anticipated movie everyone says will blow you away and then it doesn't, you leave a little disappointed. When we arrived, our reservation was missing. No biggie, was with a friend from out of town, so we said we'd wait at the bar for a table and catch-up. The bar was a cluster. Very crowded and loud. Drinks were ok. The table we were seated at was outside. A homeless woman was trying to sell flowers. :( felt bad for her plight in juxtaposition with our gluttony. The salad was huge, as was the cut of meat, as was dessert. We definitely ordered a heavy meal. It was...abundant, but not extraordinary. The service: our waiter didn't seem to like us from the minute we sat down (and this is the main reason I am rating down to 3 stars). He loved the table next to ours, so I knew he had it in him. Selectively attentive and professional isn't great. In no rush to return.

    Food and drink were great, but a 1 hour wait on an 8pm reservation made 3 days in advance is not acceptable. 3 times we checked and were told 10 more minutes each time. No drinks or comp or apology were given. Have enjoyed this place with clients and friends, but will be my last time here. Can you imagine me taking a client to dinner and being told to wait an hour? Unacceptable at a restaurant of this quality. My advice: get the front of the house in order. Reservations were at 8pm on August 13.

    Phenomenal place! I've heard that any reservation beyond 7:30pm and you wait for an ungodly amount of time (60-90 mins beyond the reservation time). Being the smarty that I am, I set up a reservation for 6pm and we were seated as soon as we walked in the door. Wonderfully cozy place, warm ambiance, excellent food. The wait staff was prompt and attentive. (I think this was due to the fact that it was still early enough in the evening. I've heard their service suffers a bit the later it gets.... probably because of the amount of patrons - who knows.) GIGANTIC portions. You've been warned. We had a big laugh (as did the wait staff for our table) because we kept asking to have things boxed up to take home since the portions were so big. It may be pricey but it's worth it...
