Fine dining may seem an unlikely find in the shadow of the hulking Chase Center arena, but this stunning harborage from Chef Tyler Florence is worth a splurge. The elegant vintage-meets-modern design is an ideal setting to dress up and dine in comfort on a menu of familiar steakhouse classics. You might start with a spot-on martini and superlatively fresh oysters (pulled from a saltwater "estuary" located in the kitchen). The Caesar salad and Dover sole meunière get an extra dose of charm, thanks to tableside service. Excellent dry-aged steaks, seared to a deep mahogany, are the main event for good reason, and sides like creamed kale with crispy shallots don't disappoint. A cart of eye-catching desserts is wheeled around for a final onslaught of opulence.
