This luxury hotel near Miami Beach just opened its first classic steakhouse

When is a burger bar no longer a burger bar? When it is transformed into an upscale steakhouse. That's exactly what is happening at the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort, which has just turned its burger spot BH Burger Bar into a classic steakhouse, BH Prime. The restaurant is the first steakhouse concept at the luxury resort, which has been a Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five Diamond property for 13 consecutive years. With a classic atmosphere — red leather banquettes, white tablecloths, dark wood — the restaurant seats 38 diners inside and 20 outdoors. Led by executive chef and Florida native Adrian Colameco, the kitchen focuses on steakhouse classics like a prime boneless ribeye that's finished tableside in what can only be described as a dramatic smoking presentation, as well as Japanese wagyu New York strip. For those looking for a seafood option, there's miso-glazed sea bass with coconut ginger sauce and baby bok choy as well as ora king salmon with Castelvetrano olives and fregola sarda. The restaurant also boasts a raw bar, where you'll find chilled jumbo shrimp, oysters, a seafood tower and more. There are also soup and salad options, including roasted rainbow carrots with spiced Greek yogurt, cilantro pumpkin seed pesto, artichoke, avocado and lemon thyme vinaigrette. And in case you missed the word 'luxury' earlier in this story, know that the restaurant has an exclusive caviar program in partnership with Petrossian, offering guests access to the world's most exceptional selections, from Tsar Imperial Ossetra to Royal Daurenki. Burger lovers need not despair, though: You can still find burgers at BH Prime. Priced $28-$29, they're of an elevated nature, like the bison burger topped with maple pepper bacon, cambazola cheese and a sweet and spicy Buffalo Trace barbecue sauce; a brisket burger with a brisket patty and short rib; or The Champ, Argentine chorizo with provolone cheese, chimichurri, roasted tomato and cilantro garlic sauce. Colameco calls the menu 'timeless yet globally inspired.' 'With the menu at BH Prime, we set out to create a true steakhouse experience,' he said. 'We're marrying the traditions of a classic steakhouse with refined techniques and flavor profiles that reflect both my roots and the international energy of our St. Regis guests.'
