The Precinct in Cincinnati, OH

Jeff Ruby owns it and he knows his steaks.

Plus he shot Lee Harvey Oswald!

When disregarding price, my favorite is Morton's in Chicago. Sad you can't smoke a cigar after dinner there anymore.

Gibson's is good too, had my last legal cigar in a Chicago restaurant there a couple years ago with Julian, Mike and Alex.

The Met. Grill in Seattle is a classic grill down top the white coats and superior service. Best Steakhouse in Vegas is Mortons.

Jeff Ruby's Waterfront or Precinct
Better than any other steakhouse I have been to in any big city. Including, Shulas, Ruth Chris and Mortons.

Thank God he does, otherwise people would be ordering steaks well done with ketchup.

I need to make a trip to Wayland! Thanks for the heads up about this place....it's going on my list of places to try.

Moses, what makes you like S & W more than Grill 23? I've yet to go to S&W which is why I'm asking.

I like the decore at S&W, along with better wine glasses than Grill 23 and more reasonably priced wine list. S&W has a similar quality steak that costs a little less. There's less hassle getting a seat. The potato crisp thing is really good. The desserts are very similar. The wine presentation is the first thing that comes to mind though. Don't expect S&W to be "better"; they're all on a similar playing field except for Capital Grill which is a small step down.

To me, it's about service, plates-cutlery-glassware, and wine. Anyone can cook a steak and it's just a meal. The fine touches are what set it apart. Does the wine come out at the right temperature? Do they decant it through cheese cloth?

A&L does have Ch. Musar on their wine list for a good price; that alone is enough to get me to A&L first.

We have 5 prime steakhouses within 2 miles of my house: Eddie Merlot's, Ruth's Chris, Hyde Park (chain out of Cleveland), Mitchell's (chain out of Columus) and J Gilbert's. We go to Gilberts 2-3 times a month, the others about once every 2 or 3 months.
