The Dallas meet thread inspired me to create this thread.
What are the best steakhouses and steaks you've ever encountered?
Here are some of my experiences in DC and NY:
Smith & Wollensky: Good strips. Very succulent and soft. Sides are excellent.
Morton's: The porterhouse is excellent. Probably tops S&W. Excellent wine list.
Ruth's Chris: Good, but probably falls below the two I listed above. Both the NY Strip and porterhouse were less flavorful than at the two above.
Sam & Harry's: Very, very good. Possibly better than S&W. Sides are also excellent. Wine list good.
One steakhouse I haven't tried, but one I consider the holy grail is Peter Luger's in Brooklyn. According to my friends, it is the best steak in the US. My brother, who has lived in Brazil, believes that teh best steak is in Brazil or Argentina. He says they don't do the dry aging technique, so it's less tender, but their beef is grass-fed and much more flavorful.
Other opinions or experiences?
