Velvet Nights and Neon Lights Meet Tableside Flair with Prime Steaks and Fresh Seafood Serving Pure Energy, Flavor and Celebration.

August 21st, 2025

Walking into Dirty French Steakhouse feels like stepping into a Miami fever dream. Neon bounces off mirrored walls, zebra-upholstered chairs cradle crisp white tables, and silk lanterns cast a warm glow over every dish. Designed by Ken Fulk, the space recalls Parisian icons like Maxim’s while embracing Miami’s neon-drenched ’80s energy. Even the bar draws the eye with a gold-leaf ceiling, Murano glass chandeliers, and a tropical leaf pattern that immediately sets a lavish tone.

Guests are immediately greeted with an array of cocktails and the first offering: warm, pillowy flatbread reminiscent of naan, served with rich, flavorful compound butter. The bread melts in your mouth, setting the tone for a meal that balances indulgence with artistry. The cocktail menu mirrors this energy, offering inventive, visually striking drinks that feel like part of the performance.

Servers in custom pink tuxedos glide across the room, carrying plates with the precision of seasoned performers. Yet beneath the glamour, the kitchen executes each dish with care and precision. MFG co-founder Rich Torrisi and the culinary team blend classic steakhouse tradition with French, Moroccan, and global flavors, delivering dishes that match the visual spectacle.

The experience continues with the Raw Bar and Shellfish towers. Sweet Petites oysters from Martha’s Vineyard glisten under a delicate red wine mignonette. The Giant Grilled Oysters “Bourguignon” arrive piping hot, rich with garlic butter and parsley. Towers of lobster shine like jewels, the cold briny meat drawing diners to their first bites before conversation can intervene.

Appetizers continue the balance of flavor and visual drama. The Thousand Layer Mushroom “Millefeuille” stacks royal trumpet mushrooms with green curry and sweet peas, presenting both elegance and earthy flavor. Lobster Ravioli with Sauce Nantua offers a gentle spice that balances the richness, while Tuna Tartare with Bird’s Eye Chili adds a crisp, lively bite. The Crab Cake Croustillant arrives impossibly crisp outside and tender within, complemented by butterball potatoes and a whisper of cayenne.

Steaks dominate the menu with prime-aged cuts including Filet Mignon, Ribeye and New York Strip. Diners seeking bold cuts can order a 40-ounce Porterhouse or a Wagyu Tomahawk. The meat comes from the world’s most renowned purveyors including Snake River Farms, LaFrieda and Dakota. Simple seasoning with salt, pepper, butter and garlic highlights the quality of the beef. The New York Strip delivers a crisp, caramelized crust with a tender, juicy center. Sides like Dirty Rice and Whipped Potatoes complement the mains with depth and comfort. However, my favorite side was the perfectly sautéed Creamed Spinach. Brimming with flavor, it proves greens can feel indulgent and celebratory.

Seafood offerings remain strong throughout the evening. The Dover Sole Meunière is delicate and buttery, served tableside for a flourish of theater. The Duck à l’Orange offers crisp skin and aromatic Moroccan spices, deservedly of the high praise from other diners. It truly is showstopper. With a subtle smokiness, its sweet and tangy orange glaze hits the palate perfectly, balancing savory depth with bright citrus notes, while hints of cinnamon, coriander and cloves elevate each bite. It’s the kind of dish that lingers in memory long after the plate is cleared. However, the spit-roasted Prime Rib is another skyscraper of flavor, perfected at MFG’s New York Grill, it arrives tender and flavorful, its texture demonstrating careful preparation and timing.

Desserts close the meal with flair. Soufflés by pastry chef Stephanie Prida rise elegantly, while tableside flambés add drama. Triple Chocolate Layer Cake, Strawberry Shortcake Sundae, the Classic Crème Brûlée or Hot Beignets (reminiscent of New Orleans own Café du Monde) complete the finale and while their extremely tasty, they’re just no match for just how good the main dishes were.
