PB Steakhouse in old Joe Allen's location in South Beach


Last night I tried the 5th Pubbelly restaurant called PB Steakhouse at the former location of Joe Allen’s on Purdy.


It is clearly the largest and nicest of the Pubbelly restaurants. It was loud, good music and packed. Great décor with 4 outside tables.

The salads were just OK and the oysters were lousy. Not Joe Beef quality oysters despite the fact that they came from Canada.

The sides were great and the steak was just OK. Not as good as Sardinia next door.

Not sure if I will go back.

7.5/10 when compared to other steakhouses.

$135 per couple(no drinks) and $15 valet parking although you can park across the street for $3.00.

Betto's Ristorante Italiano in Bay Harbour


Last week we went to Betto's Ristorante Italiano in Bay Harbour around the corner from The Palm where Davinci’s used to be, next to Asia Bay.

It is owned by the once former partner at Riggazi and they do not as yet have a website. His father owns Emelio’s across the street.

The food was really good but the service was slow as the just recently opened.

Everyone loved their food and my veal chop stuffed with mozzarella was amazing.

It is not as good as Casa D’Angelo or Valentino’s but I will definitely go back due to its proximity to me.

8.5/10

$140 per couple with $5.00 valet parking
