Beverage Manager - Steak 954

A smart, modern update of the classic steakhouse template, this is South Florida dining that is effortless in its elegance. Nestled into the waterfront W Fort Lauderdale, by restaurateur Stephen Starr, Steak 954 takes full advantage of its breathtaking natural surroundings. Sweeping beach views during the day and luminous starlit nights set the scene at this luxury boutique steakhouse, designed with a fresh, clean, nautical feel that draws deep inspiration from the ocean- just look at the centerpiece reef aquarium, home to live jellyfish that gently undulate as you eat. Meat and seafood lovers will find plenty of indulgence on the menu, featuring dry-aged prime and American Wagyu beef, locally caught fish, decadent side dishes and a global selection of fine wines and spirit.
