Would you spend $50 on a good steak?

What about $100?

How about $150?

You have the option to spend even more than that on a slab of meat at one Brevard restaurant. While it might not be routine to spend that kind of cash on a meal, at least the option is there if wanted.

In fact, there are a few establishments in Brevard that have dishes you might need to save some dollars to devour.

Here are some of the most expensive meals available on the Space Coast.

Steaks at Ember & Oak

Ember & Oak, located at 712 E. New Haven Avenue in Historic Downtown Melbourne.

This downtown Melbourne restaurant is known for feeding diners celebrating a special occasion. There are a few items on the menu that may have you doing a double take, starting with the caviar service. You can get amber osetra, which is from France, for $100. That’s a bargain compared to the price of some of the steaks. The “Jorge” is a 32 oz. bone-in ribeye of Flannery beef that will set you back $175. If you feel like splurging, spring for the 14-day dry-aged, black diamond hand-selected prime beef. The 50 oz. porterhouse is $200. At 50 oz., chances are two, or even three, people can enjoy.

Seafood at Djon’s Steak & Lobster House

It’s called the Grand Seafood Plateau for a reason. The elaborate dish comes with one dozen raw blue point oysters, a 2-pound Maine lobster, eight wild-caught jumbo shrimp and lump crab. This grand serving cost $155. If steak is more your thing, order the 48 oz. tomahawk chop. The USDA prime 30-day dry-aged steak costs $140. Not looking to spend quite that much? There’s a 14 oz. Jack's Creek Farm wagyu N.Y. strip for $139.

Wagyu beef at Umami Restaurant and Sushi Bar

Wagyu strip steak at Umami Restaurant and Sushi Bar in West Melbourne.

A certain appetizer at this restaurant is a unique splurge - roughly 4 oz. of wagyu beef. The cost is about $100. Here’s the caveat, it comes raw. Servers provide a hot stone and guests cook the meat themselves, just a few seconds per side for each piece. The serving also comes with some onions, mushrooms and asparagus.
