The Scene
Open since 1990, the Santa Monica location of this legendary steakhouse caters to Westside politicos who don't want to drive downtown for the ultimate power meal. A cozy maze of rooms provides plenty of nooks and crannies for wheeling and dealing over a steak-and-eggs breakfast.

The Food
With a menu that springs from the Midwest, circa 1955, thick, juicy steaks cooked over a mesquite fire are the main attraction. Start with the classic shrimp cocktail, four giant shrimp with a zesty cocktail sauce, or a garlicky Caesar salad. The gargantuan cowboy steak, a flavorful rib steak, is charred on the outside yet nicely rare inside. The baseball steak (a two-inch-thick cut of top sirloin), Delmonico (bone-in New York strip) and buttery filet mignon are other worthy cuts. Side dishes merely distract from the sheer joy of red meat; if you must, order the onion rings, thinly sliced and cooked till just droopy, or the overloaded baked potato, dressed tableside with sour cream and chives.
