Thanks guys! Sat Jul 14 20:54:32 -0700 2007 111872 Kalston 1 2750753 Keens steakhouse plus their bar menu also has a few specialty items not included in their dinner menu.

Usually interesting people at the bar too.

I plan to try the bar area soon. BLT Steak gets a little crowded, but it too has a lively bar scene and may people eat at the bar--go at an off time to avoid the crush at peak times, mid week especially. I like the food at BLT Steak more than Porterhouse. But either can work. Sun Jul 15 07:15:56 -0700 2007 2751102 13427 Ora 1 2751148 Try Striphouse. I've eaten at the bar - and there were other solo diners. Made for nice conversation. Sun Jul 15 07:28:33 -0700 2007 2750650 19768 BaconBits 1 2751589 Thanks guys! So far I have Keens, Porterhouse, BLT Steak and Striphouse. Any other ones? Thanks!
