314-421-6399 | | | | | Description: DOWNTOWN. Evoking classic steakhouses of yore, Al's offers dark wood decor, a tuxedo-clad waitstaff, the wafting fragrance of cigar smoke, a nautical-themed bar, and tableside preparations. There are no printed menus; waiters recite dinner options, and the kitchen practically invites special requests. Beef, duck, veal, lamb, lobster, fish, chicken, and pasta are prepared in a seemingly endless list of variations. Try a crab-stuffed filet or lamb Ettinger for something unusual. For a sweet ending, it's hard to go wrong with luscious bananas Foster.

314-241-1631 | | | | | Description: DOWNTOWN. Soft lights and gentle background music effect a pleasingly refined atmosphere at this steakhouse. Diners are both hotel guests and St. Louisians, a telling indicator of the cuisine's quality. Unexpected appetizers please the palate, and potato skins topped with provolone, prosciutto, and scallions; frog legs in garlic butter; and colossal toasted ravioli are practically meals in themselves. Filet mignon, New York strip, porterhouse, and rib-eye steaks form the core of the menu, while seafood, chicken, and lamb play supporting roles.
