The hungry yet uninitiated may enter the new 1986 Steak House, glance around and wonder whose likeness that is on the wall.<\/p>\n

Soccer (or futbol, if you prefer) fans know better: It\u2019s Diego Maradona, who led Argentina\u2019s team to victory in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.<\/p>\n

That fact also explains the name of the new steakhouse from the hospitality company Grupo Orfano, which is opening the restaurant on the ground level of the Mayfair House Hotel & Garden<\/a> on May 4 with a cocktail program created by one of the best bars in the world.<\/p>\n

1986 Steak House is Grupo Orfano\u2019s first new concept in 20 years and the first restaurant under the helm of U.S. operating manager Mexican-born Stefano Cremasco, who is of Argentine descent. The group operates 18 restaurants in Mexico, the United States and Argentina, including PM Fish & Steak House<\/a> on South Miami Avenue in Brickell.<\/p>\n

Cremasco, who has years of experience in the hospitality group\u2019s restaurants Cambalache Polanco in Mexico and Puerto Madero in Mexico and Buenos Aires, calls 1986 Steak House \u201cmodern and sophisticated yet unpretentious.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c1986 Steak House is an elegant yet down-to-earth Argentine parrilla that honors its heritage while boldly pushing boundaries and drawing inspiration from American steakhouses,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Coconut Grove\u2019s strong sense of identity makes it the \u201cperfect home\u201d for an Argentine steakhouse, he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Miami\u2019s oldest neighborhood, the Grove is deeply loved not only by its residents but by the city as a whole, serving as a bastion of the local Miami community,\u201d he said. \u201cToday, it is experiencing a true renaissance, one that locals are eager to help shape and be a part of. 1986 Steak House was created by a local team as a concept built for this community. Having personally lived in Miami for over a decade, Coconut Grove was always at the top of the list when deciding where this concept belonged.\u201d<\/p>\n

The restaurant serves beef from Argentina, the U.S. and Japan and is served steeped in the concept of asado, which Cremasco calls \u201cmore than a meal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a cultural ritual centered around fire, where meat is slowly cooked over wood or charcoal,\u201d he explained. \u201cIts true essence lies in the gathering itself \u2014 family and friends coming together without rush, where conversation, wine and food flow naturally. That spirit aligns natural with what Coconut Grove represents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cremasco worked closely with chef Marcel Daguerre at PM Fish & Steak House, and together they have worked to perfect the techniques used at 1986 Steak House. Using a traditional Argentine parrilla grill, Daguerre leans heavily on two elements \u2014 fire and salt \u2014 to continue the tradition.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a profound respect for Argentine cuisine and flavors,\u201d he said, adding that the charcoal-grilled foie gras is \u201cdecadent and unprecedented.\u201d<\/p>\n

The menu includes other appetizers from the grill like chorizo, sweetbreads and romanesco and raw bar selections like beef or tuna tartare, octopus carpaccio, hamachi and oysters. Because this is Miami, there\u2019s caviar service, but you can also order more low-key items such as meat, ham and cheese or spinach and cheese empanadas as well.<\/p>\n

There are salads and a couple of pasta dishes, and dishes like salmon, a grilled half chicken and Maine lobster tail. But the focus is steak, from Argentine skirt steak to American ribeye and New York strip. There\u2019s a bone-in short rib, a wagyu flap steak and Japanese A5.<\/p>\n

The cocktail program has been created by the team at Tres Monos, a Buenos Aires bar that was named The Best Bar in South America by the World\u2019s 50 Best Bars in 2025 and is ranked as the no. 10 bar in the world<\/a>. The collaboration with 1986 Steak House marks the first time that Tres Monos has partnered with a U.S. restaurant, and bar manager Agostina Gerling has moved to Miami to train the local team.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that 1986 Steak House is Argentine immediately grabbed our attention,\u201d she said. \u201cTheir creative approach meshes very well with our own, as does their warm hospitality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Expect drinks like the Miami Red Wine (red wine, sweet vermouth, strawberry, blueberry, lemon-lime soda); Diego\u2019s Julep (Amaros, strawberry, mint, miso and grapefruit, served in a Maradona-shaped mug); Tom & Cherry (Glenfiddich 12-year, sweet vermouth, amaros blend, cherry and jasmine); and the Chimi Highball (Johnnie Walker Black, pineapple, honey, chimichurri and ginger ale).<\/p>\n

Steakhouses have proliferated across Miami-Dade County in recent years, but Cremasco believes there\u2019s room for 1986 Steak House in the mix.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve always believed that in the restaurant world, there is more than enough opportunity to go around,\u201d he said. \u201cMiami is experiencing an incredible moment, with a wave of strong, well-executed steakhouse concepts, and 1986 Steak House is coming in with a distinct point of view to contribute to that momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n
