    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of dining at LT Steak & Seafood, located within the beautiful Betsy Hotel in Miami, and I must say that Franco made our experience truly unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, Franco's warm hospitality and attentive service set the tone for the evening. He greeted us with a genuine smile and took the time to explain the menu, highlighting some of the restaurant's signature dishes and his personal favorites. His passion for the culinary arts was evident, and it made choosing our meals an enjoyable experience. We started with the fresh seafood platter, which was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Franco's recommendations were spot on, and he expertly paired our dishes with the perfect wine selections. The steaks were cooked to perfection, tender and juicy, showcasing the kitchen's commitment to quality. What stood out most was Franco's ability to create a personalized dining experience. He checked in on us regularly, ensuring that everything was to our liking and that we had everything we needed. His knowledge of the menu and genuine care for our experience made us feel truly valued as guests. The ambiance of LT Steak & Seafood is also worth mentioning—elegant yet inviting, it perfectly complements the exquisite dining experience. Overall, I cannot recommend Franco and LT Steak & Seafood enough. If you’re looking for exceptional service and a memorable meal in Miami, be sure to ask for Franco. He will take great care of you!

    What a wonderful meal! We thoroughly enjoyed all the sushi we ordered and our server was so patient (we dined with our young kids). They even made our daughter her own salmon maki roll, which was a hit! Would absolutely recommend.
