Sunny's Miami reservations go live on Resy 30 days in advance at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Friday and Saturday tables can disappear immediately, so search as soon as the date opens and keep an earlier, later, or weekday time in play.
There is also a real walk-in route. Sunny's holds its indoor bar and terrace bar for walk-ins, and co-owner Will Thompson recommends arriving at 5:30 p.m. for the best chance at an indoor bar seat.

How to book Sunny's Steakhouse
Start at the official Sunny's website and follow its reservation link to Resy. The live venue policy says reservations enter the calendar 30 days ahead at noon ET.
For a dinner on November 16, for example, search on October 17 at noon Eastern. Sign in beforehand, decide which times you would actually accept, and use the correct party size from the start. Sunny's guarantees the reservation only for the number of guests confirmed in the booking and may not be able to change that number at the door.
Resy's July 2026 interview with Thompson, How to Get Into Sunny's in Miami, provides unusually useful first-party detail. Thursday through Saturday are the busiest nights, while Monday and Tuesday are the least busy. During the week, outdoor dining room tables are more likely to remain available.
Sunny's does not yet have its own page in Resto Mojo's restaurant directory, so this guide complements the Miami restaurant hub rather than competing with a dedicated landing page. If the date is sold out, the restaurant reservation concierge can monitor for an opening without promising inventory or a guaranteed booking.
The 30-day noon release strategy
Be ready before noon Eastern
Open Resy a few minutes early and sign in. Search at noon local Miami time on the day your preferred date reaches the 30-day window.
Do not spend the opening seconds debating between several dates or rebuilding the search around different party sizes. Peak weekend inventory can move immediately. Choose the best acceptable table, then review the booking details carefully before confirming.
Use time flexibility deliberately
An 8:00 p.m. Friday or Saturday is the hardest target. A table further from 8:00 p.m., an outdoor reservation during the week, or a Monday or Tuesday dinner gives you a better chance without changing the restaurant.
Sunny's seats 220 guests and turns each table two or three times on a typical night, according to Thompson. That creates more inventory than the restaurant's reputation might suggest, but demand still concentrates around weekend prime time.
Keep the party size accurate
The live Resy policy says bookings are guaranteed for the confirmed party size. Email hello@sunnysmia.com or use the reservation confirmation text thread to request a change, but do not assume the restaurant can enlarge the table when you arrive.
Parties of nine or more should contact the restaurant directly at that email address. A standard online reservation is not the right route for a large group.
What to do when Sunny's is sold out
Set a Resy Notify for every time you would genuinely accept, then keep your plan flexible. Thompson says the restaurant sees substantial changes close to the date, especially the day before and the morning of service.
A notification is an opportunity, not a held table. Open it quickly, but confirm that the date, time, seating area, party size, and fee terms still work before booking.
If monitoring does not produce a table, try the walk-in route. The indoor bar and terrace bar are reserved for walk-ins. Arrive at 5:30 p.m. for the indoor bar, or consider the more flexible terrace if drinks and snacks would still make the night worthwhile.
The restaurant does not publish a dependable peak-time wait. Weather, traffic, city events, and the day of the week all affect it, so a walk-in is a useful fallback rather than a promise.
Cancellation, arrival, and seating policies
Sunny's permits cancellation without a penalty until noon on the booking date. After noon, a late cancellation or no-show carries a $35 fee per guest.
Arriving more than 15 minutes late can lead to a different seating area or an abbreviated dining experience. Build in extra travel time, particularly when Miami traffic or a major event can make the final miles unpredictable.
Outdoor courtyard reservations are honored rain or shine. If weather would make the table unacceptable, address that before the free-cancellation deadline rather than expecting an indoor switch.
Sunny's does not state that ordinary reservations require a deposit on its public venue page. The exact payment authorization shown during checkout remains the controlling term for a specific booking.
Why Sunny's is worth the reservation chase
Sunny's grew from the team behind Jaguar Sun and its Sunny's Someday Steakhouse residency. The official restaurant site describes the permanent Little River restaurant as the group's next chapter, while Resy's feature identifies chef Aaron Brooks and co-owner Will Thompson as central to the operation.
This is a Florida steakhouse rather than a copy of an old New York room. The dining spaces sit around a banyan tree, with an indoor bar, outdoor terrace, courtyard, and multiple dining rooms. The menu mixes steaks with crudos, raw-bar dishes, salads, and a compact pasta section.
That lighter range matters in Miami. A table can order like a classic steakhouse party, but it does not have to commit to only large cuts and heavy sides. Specials rotate, while popular dishes remain part of the restaurant's identity.
For broader context, Condé Nast Traveler's Sunny's review highlights the restaurant's seafood, pastas, steaks, and polished room. The July Resy interview is more useful for booking, because its release and walk-in details come directly from the restaurant.
What to order and how much to expect
Start by checking the current menu after you arrive, since Sunny's says a meaningful portion changes over time. A balanced table might pair chilled seafood or a crudo with pasta, then share a steak and sides.
The restaurant is listed as $$$ on Resy. Current item-by-item prices were not available on the official website during this verification, so old menu screenshots and third-party menu aggregators are poor budget guides. Expect a special-occasion check and ask about sizes before ordering multiple large cuts.
Sunny's permits outside wine for a $75 corkage fee per 750 ml bottle, with a maximum of two bottles per reservation. Confirm that rule in the live booking policy if bringing wine is part of the plan.
