We had a great experience! The music was excellent! It feels like a swanky super club! The stained glass windows are gorgeous! Loved the ambiance and vibe! The server was EXCELLENT! The house foccacia bread was delicious! We had the crispy tuna rice and zucchini blossoms and they were literally amazing! We shared a filet, creme of spinach and the duck fat fries. Loved the filet but when I go back I’ll pass on the duck fries. We also had the espresso martini and creme brulee and both were fabulous! The martini was different because they use tequila. Absolutely love this place!

Great atmosphere and the DJ was playing some amazing music! Love the decor and things started off well. We were told we would have a team of servers, so that was cool. Drinks, first and second course came out in a normal time frame and were very good. It took 45 mins to get the third course. We started to run late as we are close to 2 hours in at this point. Only saw one server for 90 percent of the time, he was nice but overwhelmed and not able to keep up. I had to go find him to ask for the check and please just box our desserts as we need to go. That took another 20 mins, the table next to ours didn’t touch their desserts as they had the same issue. We never saw a manager going around to check on anything. Hopefully they will improve on this as it’s a really cool spot with great potential. However, for $150 pre fixe per person it wasn’t worth it for all the time we spend waiting for food and our check.

My wife and I came here for the first time and sat at the bar. We really liked the place right away. The atmosphere is great, the design is beautiful, and there was live music and performances which made it even better.
The staff and managers were very friendly and welcoming. Everyone was nice and made us feel comfortable. Special thanks to the manager and bartender Rico – he’s a great guy and took good care of us.
We will definitely come back again. It’s not easy to find places in Miami and Fort Lauderdale with service like this.
Thank you guys!

Jay’s Steakhouse absolutely delivered. Everything was as beautiful and delicious as advertised online—no surprises, only wins. My family visited over Christmas weekend and had the chance to sample much of the menu, and every dish was on point. The staff was fantastic—attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming—and the live music was the perfect finishing touch. A top-tier dining experience from start to finish!

I’ve been to Jay’s twice now—once on a Saturday for dinner and recently for Sunday brunch to celebrate my partner’s birthday. The space itself is beautiful; Jay’s is a restored old church, and the ambiance definitely adds to the experience.
The Sunday brunch was nice, but extremely pricey. It’s $85 per person, plus an additional $25 for two hours of bottomless cocktails. You can switch between mimosas, Bellinis, and prosecco throughout the two-hour window, which is a nice touch. The buffet offered a wide assortment of pastries, desserts, breads, chicken and waffles, eggs, bacon, sausages, lox with cream cheese and veggies, chicken Francese, prime rib, oysters, shrimp cocktail—just to name a few. While the selection was large, the food itself was good but not amazing.
Our server was wonderful and mentioned she was celebrating her own birthday on Monday, which added a warm, personal touch to the experience. The cocktails were definitely a highlight—really well made.
Overall, Jay’s is a gorgeous spot with great service, and I’d absolutely return for dinner. However, I wouldn’t go back for the brunch at that price point.

G (Guilherme) at the bar greeted us with a smile and some amazing recommendations for our post Broward Center theatre Sunday
happy hour. We were impressed by the pristine crispy tuna, tempura rock shrimp, lychee martini, and delicious Rioja wine! The beef in the steak frites was so tender, I cut it with a fork and the French dip was amazing, thinly shaved meat, fresh bread, and well composed! The gargantuan Baked Alaska with brownie, ice cream, & torched meringue was a sweet finish to an amazing night! We can’t wait it to return!

Spectacular, so many steak places in Fort Lauderdale, but we heard so many good things about Jay. We want to give it a try. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, such a great vibe. Lively but not too loud, and the DJ was spectacular. Playing lots of songs from the 80s that we loved. Our server was Jordan, he was great, very friendly and very helpful. We started off with the Seafood tower for the two of us, to say it was phenomenal would be an understatement. Delicious oysters, huge shrimp, lobster, crab, tuna, it was amazing. Definitely a great appetizer to share, but it’s a lot of food. My cowboy ribeye was probably one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. Tender delicious the perfect amount of seasoning, and cooked to perfection. My wife had the fillet, which was also delicious. We had the glazed carrots they were unbelievable. We didn’t have dessert because we were so full, but the whole night was a fabulous experience. If I had to say one thing, the turnaround time to get a drink was very long, they were busy, but there’s lots of people working in the bar and I don’t know why it took so long for us to get refills on our cocktails. But we will be back and can’t wait to take friends and family there because it’s a great vibe. Yes, it’s a bit on the expensive side, but the food was spectacular so I don’t mind paying for it. Thought to drink prices were reasonable, as were the sides. But it’s such a cool place to eat at

7pm reservation on a Saturday night – greeting was prompt. I wasn’t stoked about the table but I also didn’t request a different one, so that’s on us. We sat at a very small table in the corner, with barely enough room to squeeze between our table and the one next to us. In fact, several times during the meal, waiters bumped into our table or their table when delivering food.
Most of the food was fantastic. My husband devoured the lamb chop lollipops and said they were “ridiculously good” — we even got another order to-go for the sitter. The burrata was good – add the prosciutto. Main entrees were the sea bass and the bone-in strip. Both were excellent. Added a side of bearnaise which was good. They have a salt flight, which is the greatest addition I’ve ever seen on a menu. I need this with every steak from now on. Hubby ordered an espresso and we shared a piece of chocolate cake. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s huge. The table next to us was in awe. And it was stupid good. Those multiple layer cakes tend to be dry. Not this one — moist, decadent, not too heavy. It was reallllly good….as it should be for $24 a slice. I probably wouldn’t have ordered it if I had seen the price before, but I’m glad I did, and was worth it, if splurging, or if money is no concern.
The downfall was the sides. Maybe we just chose poorly, but they were not good. The Dauphinoise potatoes were unseasoned and had a weird thick layer of what looked like shredded cheese on top. The mushroom society looks really good… but it was wet mushrooms sitting in a bed of mushroom water. Zero caramelization if that’s what you’re looking for. We hardly touched either.
It’s pricey – it was over $400, including tip and that also includes three glasses of wine. We would likely go back – hopefully they fine tune some of those sides. Other sides, like the lobster Mac and the pommes puree, looked good from the table next door.
It’s not a place for a quiet dinner. I must have said “what??” a dozen times, trying to hear. The vibe was good, but know it’s loud with live music on one side. The building itself is beautiful with stained glass near the bar and thoughtful details throughout.
I would give the place 4 and a half stars of that was a thing. The sides kept me from giving it 5 stars.

Jay’s Steakhouse is so much more than just a steakhouse. It is a full experience that everyone in Fort Lauderdale and beyond needs to enjoy at least once.
From the moment you walk up to the beautifully restored historic church, you know you are in for something special. Inside, the vaulted ceilings, stained glass, plush leather booths, and dramatic red velvet curtains create a space that feels both glamorous and cozy. Every corner feels like the best seat in the house whether you are on a date, celebrating something big, or treating yourself.
The food absolutely lives up to the setting. The truffle duck fat fries, lamb chop lollipops, rock shrimp tempura, bone marrow, Lucky Duck oysters, and the impressive seafood towers are all unforgettable. The prime rib trolley and the tomahawk steak are true showstoppers, served with classic sides that feel elevated and fresh.
The cocktails are worth the visit on their own. Each drink is crafted with care, beautifully balanced, and full of flavor. It is the kind of place where trying something new feels exciting.
What truly makes Jays stand out is the ambiance and weekend entertainment. Live jazz, soulful music, and a lively late night atmosphere create a setting where you want to stay long after dessert. It feels like dinner and a night out all in one.
The service is exceptional. Warm, attentive, and polished without ever feeling stuffy. A special shout out to John the manager who goes above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome. His professionalism, genuine hospitality, and attention to detail take the entire experience to another level. You can tell he cares deeply about ensuring every visit is memorable.
Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, planning a date night, or simply looking for a memorable dining experience, Jays Steakhouse should be at the very top of your list. Incredible food, stunning ambiance, handcrafted cocktails, amazing service, and weekend entertainment make it one of Fort Lauderdale’s must visit destinations.

Visited Jay’s Steakhouse on a Thursday for ladies’ night. It’s a cool concept; a converted church turned into a steakhouse, which makes for a unique and visually interesting space. As an event producer, I was hoping to get a better look at the venue for potential events, but there were private events taking place at the time.
The drinks, food, and service were all good and met expectations. One thing that genuinely surprised me, however, was that dogs were allowed inside the restaurant. For a space positioning itself as upscale, this was unexpected. Personally, I don’t feel dogs belong in dining environments, as it takes away from the overall experience.
Overall, solid food and service in a unique setting, but the pet policy may not appeal to everyone seeking a more traditional upscale dining experience.
