The Forge Restaurant | Wine Bar by Shareef Malnik

A Blackbook Top Pick – The Forge Miami Beach Hot Restaurant

After a year of cosmetic and culinary improvements, the venerable steakhouse haunted by the ghost of Al Capone is refreshed and revamped with a stunning new look and new name: The Forge Restaurant Wine Bar. Despite the new look, that legendary Super Steak is still on the menu, but thanks to new execu chef Dewey LoSasso, so’s a thousand other dishes, from snacks and small plates to Grand Poobah-sized meals fit for the biggest egos–er, appetites in town. An enomatic wine system turns oenophiles into kids with unlimited funds at Chuck E. Cheese, allowing small, medium, and large tastes of some of the finest vintages from The Forge’s remarkable wine cellar. A gorgeous bar beckons boozehounds with its artisanal cocktails and prime views of who’s in the house. But unlike its previous incarnation, the new Forge isn’t about scene as much as it’s about eating, drinking and being merry on your own terms. No bachannalian parties here, just the boozy sophistication exuded by the been there, done that crowd that knows better.
