1. Gimlet

    Steakhouse Cocktail Bar

    Gimlet is a proper grown-up steakhouse inside a grand old room on Russell Street, and it pulls off the trick of feeling genuinely glamorous without making you feel underdressed. The open fire grill drives the kitchen, turning dry-aged Australian beef into something quietly serious. Andrew McConnell runs the show, so expect a wine list that earns its length and service that's warm without hovering. The crowd dresses up a little, and it shows.
