Description: No flash in the pan! Christy’s is the Grand Dame of Coral Gables restaurants, still packing them in after thirty years with its simple formula of great food and impeccable service. Politicians, CEO's and Celebes have all made this landmark a local favorite. From Rod Stewart to Tiger Woods. From Michael Jordan to Governor Jeb Bush. Yes, this is THE place for great aged steaks and prime rib, grilled lamb chops, fresh Florida seafood and homemade desserts. The awards keep rolling in—from CNN, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Miami Herald and the Zagat Survey. But the line at the door tells the story. This is the place to be. Best bets: the award-winning Caesar salad served with all entrées, shrimp cocktail (man eaters), prime rib, fresh grilled yellowtail snapper and signature Baked Alaska. Please visit our website for further details. **For reservations of 10 or more guests, please contact the restaurant directly.

We were flying to Costa Rica on Christmas Day when American gave us a horrible schedule change. We now had a layover in Miami for six hours! Who wants to spend six hours at an airport! So we called and got reservations at Christy's in Coral Gables. It was just a quick cab ride away from the airport. We arrived... More

Christy is an average restaurant. The food is okay, but the decor is outdated. The prices are average for the area.

Christy's is always above average consistent excellent dinner experience. It is perfect for a business lunch or dinner or dinner with friends. They pour a great drink, the steaks and chops are excellent as are the fish selections. Don't miss the ceasar salad or the jumbo shrimp cocktail

However ,I am very happy to report that the restaurant is now back to where it was when it began under its present management, the best damn steak... More

Wonderful steaks, great Caesar salad (with anchovies, if you like), good bread, not as expensive as Flemings or Ruth Chris, and a very satisfying experience. I have never been disappointed, and I have been going to this restaurant for over 15 years.

If you enjoy prime rib then this place is for you. It is one of their specialties and they do it the way I like it-- very rare. Baked potato as a side plus a Caesar's salad. Start with their French onion soup to get into the mood. Excellent service. Only problem is parking. No lot and you feed the... More

Had a great dinner last night at Christy's! Service was super and the food was a wow! While the menu is traditional steakhouse, all the food was great. We had the escargot and oysters rockefeller for appetizers and, of course, filet for dinner. The au poivre sauce was a hit with us. We were very impressed by the inexpensive but... More

Repeat visitors to Coral Gables and we wanted to try another steak house. After reading reviews of Christy's, it sounded perfect. I made my reservation via open table and requested a table away from the front door. I was accomodated. Very professional wait staff was knowledgeavble and attentive without being pushy. WIne list is good, though beware that vintages on... More
