Frommer's Highly Recommended

The best steakhouse in town, Grill 23 is a wood-paneled, glass-walled place with a businesslike air. A briefcase-toting crowd fills its two levels and chows down on traditional slabs of beef and chops, traditional steakhouse side dishes, and sophisticated yet traditional desserts. The meat is of the highest quality, expertly prepared. Steak au poivre and lamb chops are perfectly grilled, crusty, juicy, and tender. Fish dishes aren't quite as memorable as the meat offerings, but hey, it's a steakhouse. The bountiful a la carte sides include out-of-this-world garlic mashed potatoes, ginger beets, and "tater tots" drizzled with truffle oil. Desserts are toothsome but (this is not your father's steakhouse) don't always include cheesecake. The service is exactly right for the setting, helpful but not familiar. Caveats: The excellent wine list is pricey, and the noise level rises as the evening progresses. Still, you probably won't realize that you're shouting until you're outside yelling about what a good meal you had.
