Expense-account diners and couples pack this sleek, modern steakhouse nestled amid towering skyscrapers.

The Scene
The golden-hued dining room is architecturally modern, at once elegant and unfussy, with plush booths and rich lighting. Lunch attracts attorneys and MBA-types. At dinner, the crowd widens to include those on their way to Staples Center, and couples enjoying pre-theater meals or romantic dates. Beef is dry aged on-site, and patrons linger at the glass-walled ''aging chamber,'' which showcases marbled slabs of prime and certified Angus. A spacious patio hosts lively weekday happy hours.

The Food
Prime rib, steaks and chops dominate the menu, naturally. Bearnaise sauce is straightforward, while the ''world of mustards'' topping provides a zippy, tangy complement to the beef. The Kurobuta pork short ribs are a Japanese delicacy, distinctively moist, with a rich, sweet taste. In addition to traditional steakhouse side dishes, a la carte highlights include lemony baked artichokes, vanilla-tinged sweet potatoes topped with candied pecans, and aged white-cheddar mac and cheese.
