Peter Luger vs. Burton & Doyle (GN)

[Inthemood]

Would like to take my in-laws to a steakhouse. Which one of the following would you recommend:

PL
Burton & Doyle
Morton's
Bryant & Cooper
Brooks and Porter

Ambiance, the noise level and the quality of the steak are important. Thanks!

PL
BC
The Rest

Brooks & Porter. If you are going on the weekend , the noise factor would be my only concern. If you choose to go, request a table upstairs. Very enjoyable. IMHO the ambiance and steak blow the old standbys away.

Except for the fact that the servers weren't as grumpy, I found PL in Great Neck as good as PL in Brooklyn.

They would be my recommendation.

I am a huge P.L. fan and eat there regularly so I say go there. If you can't get a time good for you my second choice would be Bryant and Cooper. I have had a few excellent meals at Bryant and Cooper and it would be a fine alternative.

Peter Luger's if you want the very best steak you can have. Once that porterhouse for two is in front of me, I might as well be alone in a quiet room, because I'm not hearing anything but my chewing!

Never been to B & P, but I think Burton and Doyle is an all-around great place. Nice atmosphere, great good. PL is the best is just steaks are being considered.
