1. Rolo's

    Wood-fired Steakhouse

    A wood-fire grill commands the dining room at this Ridgewood corner, its amber light catching the faces of newcomers and lifers alike. The polenta bread arrives fluffy and smoke-touched, ready for Calabrian chili butter or wild oregano; the dry-aged steaks demand green garlic. A bar up front makes cocktails with quiet competence, and the servers move through it all with genuine ease.
