From the moment Business Insider's Erin McDowell reached the velvet ropes outside Papi Steak in Miami, she knew she was in for something different from the traditional steakhouse experience. Since opening in Miami Beach in 2019, Papi Steak has become known for its celebrity clientele, extravagant menu, and club-like atmosphere — and soon, McDowell would come to understand the hype. Within an hour of sitting down for dinner, the sultry, dimly lit steakhouse had transformed into a full-blown party. Music thumped through the packed dining room as servers zigzagged between tables, carrying over-the-top presentations: a cocktail and caviar served inside an Hermès Birkin bag, decadent skillets of lobster mac and cheese, and wedge salads dripping with creamy dressing.
