No question that El Gaucho was probably the dining experience I havae talked about the most in the past year -- and I was dining there with the VP Marketing and Regional Manager from Morton's!
Bern's is incomparable
A recent discovery was Shelly's Steakhouse in NY. Awesome prime aged steaks and a great raw bar
And Morton's is consistently great. Once did a night-after-night comparison of Morton's, Ruth's Chris and the Palm (believe it or not, this was work-related!) and there was no question the steaks at Morton's were better quality...at least that week.
