RPM Steak

This bi-level space, centered around a large wraparound marble bar, flaunts a warm, sleek, and moneyed vibe. The polished black- white- and wood-décor speaks to the finer things in life, with a menu of succulent steaks, shellfish, and sides to boot. There's always a full house; for the best people-watching, score one of the semicircular booths. While the aging process and cuts on offer keep spinning, expect to find Japanese prefectures and solid American producers. Highlights include classic steak frites, petite filets, and that mighty cowboy steak—cooked to pink and seasoned with a winning blend of ground and fried thyme, rosemary, garlic, and kosher salt.The wine list meanders around the globe with nods to Napa, Burgundy, and everything in between.
