Christy's is timeless. We have been dining there since 1988. Although under new owners, the new owners are the same team who was managing it for the original owner. Including the Chef. Enjoy a classic dinner at a very classy restaurant. My favorite if the prime rib.

not your typical miami steakhouse. it’s old-fashioned but i mean that in the best way! it’s been around since the 80s. my grandparents would go there on fancy dates and stuff. very nice inside (they remodeled like a decade ago) with an awesome waitstaff and amazing food. it really felt like an upscale experience and the delicious food solidified that

We hadn't been to Christy's in over 10 years, I'm so thrilled we decided to try it out again! The food was delicious, so much flavor, and cooked perfectly. Our waitress was so sweet and the service was outstanding! The cost of our meal was great considering how crazy Miami restaurants have gotten with their prices. We will definitely be back again!

Oh WOW! We were impressed from the moment we arrived and throughout our evening. Our server Luna was so attentive, knowledgeable and personable. We ordered delicious drinks and appetizers, Caesar salad, wedge salad and escargot. Our entrees were out of this world. Sea bass, lamb chops and tomahawk steak with several sides, Mac and cheese, spinach, Brussels sprouts and French fries. All amazing! It was truly a special treat that even our 6 year old loved it! We’ll be going back again and again!

Very disappointing. Shrimp cocktail was ok sauce tasted like it came from a bottle. Onion soup was bland and light, was not that rich dark broth it should have. Filet was under cooked very disappointing as well. Came back over cooked. Best thing was the truffle mac n cheese. lol Definitely will not come back!!! Oh the maitre’d moved a table side ways to fit 5 people, for her purse, lmao.

This place has been located in Coral Gables from the 70s and is one of the first steakhouses in Coral Gables. It delivered an excellent meal wow and more while from the salad to the steak the amazing side and last but not least the most incredible baked Alaska Dan table side you won’t be disappointed with the show, that’s done table sign and the Caesar salad is one of the best ever and don’t forget try the wedge salad also with the blue cheese one of the best I’ve ever had so if you’re a steak and potato this is a nice white tablecloth restaurant that you won’t be disappointed and make sure you make reservations because they’re very busy if I could give more than five stars I would

For my 29th birthday, I chose to celebrate at this restaurant with my family of five. When I called to make a reservation, I specifically requested a corner table. I was told that all the tables were round, which was fine since my concern was the location, not the shape. Despite this, we were seated in the center of the room, which was disappointing. The experience was further disrupted by two guests standing right behind the table behind us for over 20 minutes, laughing loudly and blocking the narrow hallway. This gave the restaurant a chaotic, cafeteria-like feel, and despite the inconvenience to the waitstaff, given that they couldn’t get by, no one asked them to move. Sitting with our backs to a busy hallway made the atmosphere feel cramped and uncomfortable, adding to the noise. Service was another issue—the wine we ordered took more than 30 minutes to arrive. Despite these drawbacks, the food was enjoyable. The mac and cheese was exceptional, and the dessert was equally impressive. This restaurant has potential, but better attention to seating arrangements, service, and ambiance would greatly improve the experience.

Absolutely outstanding. Never fails to meet expectations. Start with their famous caesar salad. Perfectly cooked lobster tail and tomahawk. The best mixologist in town. Espresso martini and la diabla cocktail a must try! Outstanding key lime pie. Have the baked Alaska as well. Superb
