$60-90 per person:
ruth chris: the only place where i don't cringe when i see the bill because its worth every penny. filet or cowboy ribeye with salt, pepper seared in butter at 1800 degrees and topped with parsley when done then placed on a hot plate so even the last bite stays warm. don't bother with mortons or donovans, if you don't like ruth try flemings. you can spend a lot on money for dinner and come away hungry and unimpressed, not at ruth, the only place better is peter lugers.

you don't need to spend a lot to get great food, you just have to find it. it's the east coast way of thinking regarding food. there's nothing wrong driving to LA for good sicilian pizza and garlic knots that i can't find in san diego.
