I just went to Peter Luger's yesterday. It beats every one of the restaurants in this poll. One of the best steaks I have ever had. I had a really good ribeye at this restaurant called twist in Las Vegas. I like this steakhouse near Anaheim I've been to twice. It's called ranch or ranch house. Always forget the name, but really good.
The Ranch. Their prime rib is great.
Prime rib isn't steak though. It's a roast, which is quite different.
Aware of that, was just clarifying the name of the place for LS. I haven't tried any of their steaks so can't comment on them.

Gus's steakhouse in Sonora. I am not a fan of anything on my steak besides salt and pepper, but they serve a garlic butter that is amazing. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
I voted for Mastro's (BH). We went in February - still good.
The Grill on The Alley has surpassed the others on the list. Bourbon Steak in Glendale was a go-to, pre COVID-19, but I haven't been since and don't know if it is still open.
Best Place Ever in LA was the Porterhouse Bistro. Surprisingly, the steaks were USDA Choice (not Prime), but they cooked them using an injection method, so they were always tender, juicy & flavorful . . . at half the cost of a Morton's. IIRC, the rent got too high and the owner had another gig with Groupon, so he closed the restaurant in 2011.
We do San Francisco every other year for our anniversary and Boboquivaris (Bobo's to the locals) is the spot. The Super Bone-in Filet is the absolute ticket! _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns".

Two vaccinations, two boosters and outdoor dining.
Wife is still skittish about eating out/in crowds. We've had two family members plus a dozen people in our church die from COVID-19, so we take it seriously. We were in Palm Springs in February 2021 for our Anniversary. We had reservations at a 5-star restaurant, drove up there, saw how close folks were sitting to each other, went back to our AirBNB and ordered pizza. _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns".
I think at some point taste is subjective. I had a better steak at Morton’s in Portland than I’ve had a Ruth’s Chris in three locations and Mastros. But there are a lot of factors that go into that. Best steak I’ve had I cooked myself, fwiw.
I cook a great steak, too, but top flight steakhouses get a cut/quality of meat that is hard to find , even at Gelson's or specialty meat markets. _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns".

Not to mention really good ones have a whole aging/handling process that can't be replicated at home. I've definitely made some great steaks at home. We have a small butcher here in our town that gets some top cuts and while back I picked up a couple of 2" thick cut NY strip grom there that I reverse seared on the grill, and that was awesome. But it is really tough to match a high-quality cut cooked by a skilled steakhouse chef. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

The wife and I had a wine country weekend in Napa last weekend. Fortunately the tasting were all outdoors and all meals but one were as well, because I was a little surprised by how casual people have become in regards to just being on the safe side. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

It does not matter how serious it is taken....it is not going away anytime soon...
It’s not going away entirely, sure, but we’d be a long way down the road from where we are (with hundreds of thousands less dead just in this country) if ignorant tribalists hadn’t made obstructing proper precautions and vaccination an act of self owning political dumbassery. We are still in the wait and see more about variants when restrictions drop because we are still living around way too many of the intellectually inbred to make dining indoors a reasonable risk in many areas. _________________ “We must always take sides.

I hear you. Not every or even many steaks I make touch the top steak houses. But I did manage to score a prime porterhouse a few years back, and while I’m better at it now and my memory may be biased, I got that one perfect. _________________ “We must always take sides.

In the meantime, comparing restaurant to restaurant has too many confounding variables -- variations in an individual piece of meat and how it was cooked, the setting, the company you were with, your mood, your hydration level, the wine you had with it, etc., etc. That said, the best cut of meat in my memory was at Cut in Las Vegas. They brought a slab of Japanese A5 Wagyu, a slab of American Wagyu, and a slab of their top domestic non-Wagyu. We were a table of eight. The American Wagyu was the clear consensus, and in my opinion the best steak I ever had.

That ribeye....
There’s a Japanese market a couple of miles away from me which sells raw A5 Wagyu. I’ve bought it a couple of times and made it myself. Seems like kind of a waste with my mediocre cooking skills, but still delicious. I wonder how much of it you could eat without getting sick from all the oiliness, though.
What are people’s stances on the ribeye vs porterhouse vs bone-in filet debate? I like porterhouse the most but no grocery store sells it for some reason— just T-bones and sometimes not even that. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

I didn’t know Mastro’s in Beverly Hills had outdoor seating. Last time I went there was in 2017 on a Saturday night, and they were too busy to even acknowledge me, let alone seat me.
How good is it? _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
