Papi Steak
David Grutman's over-the-top steakhouse. Gold-wrapped tomahawks, DJ booth in the dining room, and zero subtlety. SoBe maximalism at its finest.
Only you see this. What you ordered, what you'd order again, the table to ask for.
The Story
Papi Steak opened September 12, 2019 in Miami Beach's South of Fifth neighborhood, a partnership between Groot Hospitality's David Grutman and David "Papi" Einhorn. The concept grew out of a single dish: Einhorn's kosher-style steak with his own secret sauce became a bestseller at Grutman's Komodo before earning its own restaurant. In 2025 the 93-seat space closed for a Rockwell Group-led redesign and reopened November 13, 2025 with a "tropical luxe" look of velvet banquettes, gold accents and a crystal chandelier.
Known for
The signature is the Papi Steak, a Tomahawk cut finished with Einhorn's dairy-free secret sauce, alongside kosher-style dishes like latkes, Wagyu pastrami and chicken schnitzel, plus a theatrical Wagyu "Beef Case" tomahawk presentation. Expect a party atmosphere with DJs, a full bar and cocktail program, and a room built for celebration as much as steak.
Worth knowing
Reservations run through Resy and go fast on weekends, this is as much a scene as a steakhouse. Dress code is upscale casual: no hats, tank tops, flip-flops, shorts or beachwear. Valet parking is available on site.
