StripSteak proves to be more than a place to dine—chef Michael Mina makes it an experience. If you’re looking to treat your dad to culinary extravagance, visit StripSteak by Michael Mina at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach to give him a VIP Table Experience.

Argentine grillmaster Francis Mallmann knows the importance of family celebrations, keeping “asado” in mind–a major social event in Argentina when family and friends bond over a lovely afternoon meal. This Father’s Day, partake in this enriching cultural experience by taking your dad to Los Fuegos, located within the Faena Hotel Miami Beach, for a multi-course meal of slow-cooked ribeye, wild salmon and more. All fathers receive a complimentary hand-rolled cigar, which they can bring to unwind at the Faena Hotel’s Veranda by the pool. $95 and $45 for children ages 5-12.

CECCONI’S

Nestled in the courtyard of Soho Beach House, Cecconi’s Miami Beach is a classic Italian restaurant where the authentic food stuns just as much as the splendid decor. With a backdrop of twinkle lights paired with hanging plants, Father’s Day will be fully charged with ambiance, creating a day to marvel at long after you walk out of the al fresco courtyard.

SEASPICE

With a meaty special of 32 oz. Wagyu Tomahawk Steak and foie served with roasted potatoes and truffle bordelaise, one thing is for certain: Seaspice knows how to honor fathers on a massive scale. Along with this special, the chic restaurant is also offering a la carte options including Serrano Benedict with serrano ham, poached eggs, chive hollandaise and crispy potatoes. Once dad is satisfied from the hardy meal, he can enjoy live entertainment and bask in Seaspice’s flawless riverside views.

BOURBON STEAK BY MICHAEL MINA 

This Father’s Day, the steakhouse has curated specials fit for a king, offering a complimentary glass of Bourbon to all fathers. Treat dad to chef Michael Mina’s fine cuts of all-natural, organic and hormone-free plates of Japanese A5 Wagyu beef or American Wagyu and Prime cuts at BOURBON Steak located at the upscale Turnberry Isle Miami. If dad wants to forego the decadent steak, he has plenty more options including pan-seared local snapper, paired with any cocktail or a choice of 850 wines.
