801 Steak and Chop
(Andrea Melendez/The Register)
This is the place to pull out the little black dress and spend your paycheck on a chic drinking and dining experience. The restaurant even has private dining nooks where you can pull the curtain shut. While 801's swank gentleman's-club appeal feels very masculine, it offers enough refined and sumptuous touches to thrill any diner - from the waiters in fitted green jackets rolling the food up on wooden carts, to the perfect swirl of ice shards glittering in the martinis.
