One of the best meals I had was at the SW steakhouse in the Wynn.
Delmonicos was great here as well, but SW had them beat in my book.

Peter Luger in Brooklyn has good food but I felt like the staff thought they were doing me a favor by letting me eat there. Not stuffy, snooty, pinky in the air atmosphere, more like aren't you lucky to be eating here sort of vibe.

Wolfgangs in NYC is a real treat as well.

Every year for our anniversary, my wife and I go to an upscale steak restaurant for dinner. I have many I like, but the best we''ve ever had was at Smith and Wollensky in Washington DC. It may be because it was our first anniversary over 11 years ago and what started this tradition, but man, it was fantastic.

Others that were memorable that we've enjoyed: Smith and Wollensky (Philly), Capital Grille (Philly), and recently Le Cellier (WDW - Epcot) to name a few. I don't remember being enamored by Ruth Chris or Morton's. Very good...don't get me wrong, but not quite as good.

Re: Favorite Steak House
 

Great call on Delmonico's. That was one of the best, and most expensive meals I've ever eaten. Quite worth it.

Manny's here in Minneapolis. As long as I'm not buying. ;) Drop dead great food and service.

Oh, and Doe's Eat Place in Greenville, MS. One of the most unusual steakhouses I've ever been to.

Re: Favorite Steak House
 

I am with you on Doe's Eat Place for the unusual category for sure but would not place it on the great steakhouses list even though it is very good and much cheaper than most of those on the great list. I enjoy going there - also the ones in Springfield, MO and Baton Rouge, LA are good.

Re: Favorite Steak House
 

Don't have any favorites. Never found one that makes them as good and as reasonably priced as I can make at home! And it's always cooked right. And it is always the right steak. my wife and I at at Texas Road House in Knoxville 2 nights ago. She ordered a NY Strip, I had the Rib-eye. The steaks came out, they were the same steak. I told the cook guy that delivered the steaks. He told me I was wrong, that mine was a rib-eye. I just ate it. Not worth the argument in the public. But, there is a definite difference between the meat texture (regardless of the definite shape difference) between rib-eye and NY Strip. And what I had was a strip. Same price on the menu, and I also like NY strip, so wasn't the end of the world. As I left, I told the manager, who didn't appear to give a damn. Thus, no more Texas Roadhouse for me!!!

I'll stick to Clifford's Steakhouse!!!

+1 on NYC Smith & Wollenskys.

In the same area, Mancini's in St Paul. Great service, great atmosphere. The best garlic toast, right off the grill. Perfect.
