Description

Gotham is gorgeous, its two levels cohered by a chandelier of hand-blown glass and glass-enclosed wine tower flowing through both floors. If possible, aim for a table downstairs - it's more intimate, and diners are privy to an open exhibition kitchen where a confederacy of cooks assiduously works the assembly line of comestibles. The front-of-house staff is equally voluminous, and service is spot on. So are steaks such as a 20-ounce Brandt Farms rib eye, easily two inches thick, grilled over hardwood charcoal, and finished on a 1,200-degree broiler ($52). An eight-ounce American Wagyu filet mignon is well priced at $50, and $28 will lasso you a succulent skirt steak sliced and streaked with Southwestern chili rub; you won't find a better bite of beef for the money. Nor will you easily encounter a fish as tasty as Gotham's Florida grouper, which practically melted into a bed of quinoa grains pooled in sprightly tomato vinaigrette. Service is strong, as is the wine compilation of 500 bottles - from boutique vintners to rare vintages. Located just off the fabulously refurbished Fontainebleau lobby, Gotham has staked its claim as one of the Beach's best steak houses.
