375325 Mon Feb 26 22:10:32 -0800 2007 23 2 Los Angeles Area 0 2332774 any suggesitons on some good ribeye (or any other type of steak if you feel that strongly about it) with a nice set of sides (ie explosive mac n cheese!)? i dont care for ambience Mon Feb 26 22:10:32 -0800 2007 69558 lapchern 1 2332808 I'll probably be flamed for both of these recs, but I like Ruth's Chris ribeye and their creamed spinach, and Houston's has a really good Hawaiian ribeye and I like their acorn squash when it's in season. Mon Feb 26 22:42:16 -0800 2007 2332774 56773 chowmominLA 2 2334986 No reason to be flamed. Ruth's Chris is awesome, chain or not. Tue Feb 27 14:36:13 -0800 2007 2332808 10974 1000steps 1 2332950 JAR great ribeye! best sides- purple yams, pea shoots, brussel sprouts!!!!!! Tue Feb 27 02:08:07 -0800 2007 2332774 17232 msmd310 2 2340428 I second Jar. Its our favorite, particularly for the ribeye. Well marbled. I think there known for their potroast, but stick with the ribeye and purple yams. Wed Feb 28 23:05:17 -0800 2007 2332950 21754 eatslowly 1 2333903 Maybe not the first place you'd think of, but the ribeye at Pane E Vino (8265 Beverly Blvd, (323) 651-4600) is really nice. (I forget who, but one of the old-timers on this board mentioned this; I gave it a try and they were/are absolutely correct.) PEV serves a very flavorful steak, cooked over hardwood, which gives it a wonderful smoky touch. Absolutely delicious. Good Italian-style sides too, but I'm not sure if they'll make you mac & cheese.

The body may be an old-timer, but the palate is young enough to recognize the best steak in LA -- & it is indeed a ribeye. Pane e Vino's bistecca alla Fiorentina is indeed as good as it gets.

Tue Feb 27 16:52:04 -0800 2007 2335510 64003 bulavinaka 4 2353224 I too owe a lot to Mr. Grub to pointing me to Pane e Vino for their ribeye.

Tue Feb 27 10:52:40 -0800 2007 2332774 10883 JAB 1 2333991 My favorite side to a ribeye is a scotch ... 555 East serves a great steak and has a nice scotch selection. Tue Feb 27 11:03:51 -0800 2007 2332774 61102 SoCalMuncher 1 2334266 I once thought JiRaffe had an amazing Rib eye that was served in a veal reduction with potatoes lyonnaise but i recently had one that was a little tough and therefore disappointing. I had the bone in rib eye at Felmings and that was really good - sides were so so but maybe there is a hit on their list(the baked potato was a miss) Tue Feb 27 12:00:05 -0800 2007 2332774 13339 blackbookali 1 2336338 Arroyo Chop House in Pasadena - good steaks & sides.

Tue Feb 27 21:57:29 -0800 2007 2336350 11732 Ciao Bob 3 2337254 Bummer, they had good steaks. Thanks for the info. Wed Feb 28 08:31:45 -0800 2007 2336376 75652 umeakai 1 2340293 The Lodge on La Cienega is very good and a much nicer scene/decor than Ruth Chris. Wed Feb 28 21:42:39 -0800 2007 2332774 77317 michellemabelle 2 2340308 It's definitely more hip, but my sister and I found that Ruth's Chris was better and less expensive. Just our opinion though. Wed Feb 28 21:51:57 -0800 2007 2340293 56773 chowmominLA 1 2340439 The steak frites at the bar at Lucques is great, and a terrific value ($16!). Or you can eat at a table and order the club steak for two, which is killer -- comes with a simple arugula salad (delicious) and these ridiculously good "potatoes parisienne." Great combination. I'd also recommend the hanger steak at Hatfield's, which is totally off the charts. Comes with short ribs, onion confit, and a smoked potato puree. Amazing. www.infinitefress.blogspot.com Wed Feb 28 23:15:11 -0800 2007 2332774 70658 hungrygirl106 1 2340443 I love the steaks at the Pacific Dining Car. Trad steak house sides. The creamed spinach is fab. Great wine list too. Wed Feb 28 23:19:56 -0800 2007 2332774 60617 rednyellow 1 2354773 My wife one of the best ribeyes I've tasted in a while at Parkway Grill a few weeks ago. I almost never order a steak at Parkway (I go there for pastas and fish) but I would next time Mon Mar 05 13:13:00 -0800 2007 2332774 59391 gregg1 1 2354899 My problem with every prime steakhouse in LA is that no one has the killer steak and sides under the same roof. Ruth Chris, love their sides, not a fan of a butter drenched steak. For consistency, Mortons is my fav steak but their sides stink. I'm partial to great mashed potatoes with my steak, and besides my wife few places can get it right. Campanile is the exception Mastros, in my one visit was overrated for both imo. Plus that crazy cramped upstairs environment where you cant even see your food just annoyed me to no end. Bad experience Go to Parkway a few times a year but never tried Arroyo next door. I will have to try it. Flemings...solid steaks, mediocre sides...fun appetizers though Dan Tanas NY steak with a pasta side is excellent for a change of pace, but like Mastros cramped plus a dose of attitude If I could cobble together it would be: Mortons NY or Ribeye steak with Campanile mashed potatoes and Lawrys creamed spinich and/or corn...Or Lawrys baked potato which is my fav in LA Mon Mar 05 13:37:52 -0800 2007 2332774 59391 gregg1 2 2661425 I could not agree with you more! No one seems to be able to cook a steak any more. IMHO 555 East in Long Beach, by far the best steakhouse in all of LA and San Diego. I travel a lot and have dined at many high end restaurants. I don't know what they do but they always seem to get it right. The best steak I have ever tasted! Thu Jun 14 16:27:05 -0700 2007 2354899 104938 savor55
