What should you order at Salty Flame? Wood-fired steak

Brickell’s latest steakhouse leans hard on DJ energy and Asian fusion but keeps the wood fire real.

July 25, 2026 About Salty Flame

DJ lights can't mask seed-oil fusion chasing the vibe.

The Take

Salty Flame scores 52 as a Brickell fusion steakhouse chasing the vibe more than the plate. Order the wood-fired steak or grilled protein with simple sides if you must go.

Former Novecento bones give it classic elegance, yet the club lighting and DJ energy drown out substance. Asian fusion defaults to seed oils with thin sourcing details.

The Verdict

Skip the fancy cocktails, starters, and brunch gimmicks. Salty Flame delivers solid wood-fired protein only when you keep it simple and hit the $28 weekday lunch.

The score stays 52. Order the wood-fired steak or grilled protein with simple sides or stay home.
