E. B. Green's Steakhouse

With grain-fed beef sourced from the Midwest, a wine list custom designed by Wine Spectator's Retailer of the Year, and live music from legendary lounge pianist Jackie Jocko, it's no wonder that E. B. Green's Steakhouse has dazzled its guests for three decades. Seafood and lobster flown in daily to its stately surroundings reinforce the impression that it's less a restaurant than a civic institution, ready to welcome locals and out-of-towners whenever they need to get a little fancy.

Signed prints from LeRoy Neiman hang from mahogany walls, which wrap around a lounge area where diners sip martinis. From there, guests flow into the dining room, where they feast on surf or turf entrees surrounded by soft lighting and polished brass. An in-house pastry chef also creates unique desserts daily.
