The story
At Trump National Doral, BLT Prime delivers the kind of American steakhouse experience where the quality of the cut is the starting point, not the afterthought. The kitchen works exclusively with USDA Prime or 100% Naturally Raised Certified Black Angus beef — a commitment that runs through every plate that leaves the grill.
The steak menu reads with quiet confidence: a 22oz bone-in Cowboy ribeye from 1855 aged Angus, a 36oz Porterhouse built for two, a Wagyu Skirt sourced from Australia, and a Delmonico finished with garlic confit and bone marrow. Accompaniments range from classic béarnaise and peppercorn to chimichurri, giving the table enough latitude to make each cut its own.
BLT Prime doesn't stop at steaks. The menu broadens into sautéed Dover sole with soy-caper brown butter, a 2lb Maine lobster with sauce américaine, and a rack of lamb under a pine nut crust — making it a genuinely versatile fine dining destination rather than a single-note steakhouse.
An Italian specialties section adds further range: trofie alla bolognese with a Tuscan beef-pork ragù, wild mushroom and truffle risotto, and shrimp scampi over spaghetti with oven-roasted tomato. It's an unexpected but welcome addition that reflects the broader BLT Restaurants approach to American dining.
Raw and chilled starters — oysters, lobster cocktail, tuna tartare with potato gaufrettes — set an appropriately elevated tone before the main event.
Wine Spectator recognized BLT Prime with its Award of Excellence, a distinction that reflects the care behind a list that moves from Napa Cabernets and Russian River Pinot Noirs to Italian Chianti Classico and Argentine Malbec. By-the-glass options are broad enough to support a full meal without committing to a bottle.
The cocktail program holds its own alongside the wine list, with signatures like the Vesper (Botanist gin, Wheatley vodka, Lillet Blanc) and a Mango Mai Tai that nod to both classic bar craft and the Miami setting.
For private events or a straightforward dinner in Doral, BLT Prime offers the full range — the bar, the dining room, and a kitchen capable of anchoring a serious American steakhouse meal.
