Fodor's Expert Review Harry's

High-profile locals and visitors alike are drawn to this contemporary steak house’s Vegas–meets–Beverly Hills style. The spectacular menu features glazed duck, Maine lobster, and Kobe beef served with aged Vermont cheddar cheese. When you get past the glass meat cooler in the lobby, you’ll encounter the dimly lit interior dominated by white stone, with cedar beams adding a touch of warmth. (All that stone creates echoes; ask about patio seating.) The concept here is impressive—steaks are aged in-house for 21–28 days, then grilled and broiled to perfection. Save room for dessert. Waiters deliver a tower of cotton candy with the check. (Try not to faint when you see the total.)
