713-520-5959 | | | | | Description: RIVER OAKS. Houston's version of this well-received chain is as popular with couples out for the evening as it is with business folks. Both sets display an obvious admiration for Fleming's aged USDA Prime beef, which is hand-cut daily and broiled at 1600° for maximum juiciness. Standard cuts are available, or you can opt for veal, pork ribs, or lamb chops. Prime rib is a Sunday tradition, and the seafood selection includes crab legs, lobster, fish, shrimp, and scallops. A fabulous wine list includes more than 100 by-the-glass options.

713-789-2333 | | | | | Description: WEST HOUSTON. This beloved chain of steakhouses bills itself as the "Home of Serious Steaks," and one visit will tell you that's more than a marketing slogan. Steaks are known for their sizzle, achieved by a dollop of butter dropped on hot-from-the-oven cuts; your choice will still be sputtering when it's placed in front of you. Ruth's Chris isn't intended for calorie-counters, but it is a true steak lover's haven. The establishment also takes pride in its great service, extensive wine list, and atmosphere of comfortable elegance.

713-659-6000 | | | | | Description: DOWNTOWN. Sensory pleasures are the theme at this seductive steakhouse, whose furnishings and decor are as red as bordello velvet and whose artwork consists of 1920s-era photographs of slightly clothed cabaret performers. Even so, the establishment is not tawdry or men-only. It's a classy restaurant that serves impeccable steaks, perfectly aged and broiled. They're exceptionally good with creamed spinach (which gets a note of luxury with black truffles) or decadent goose fat-cooked potatoes. Elegant and upscale.

713-932-6901 | | | | | Description: HOUSTON. Although not as upscale as some of its competitors, this rustic steakhouse turns heads the old-fashioned way with friendly service, good times, and prime cuts of American Angus. Any meal should kick off with an onion string platter or an order of Gulf seafood ceviche. From there, choices abound and include a buttered 10-oz. lobster tail, expertly trimmed 16-oz. T-bone, and 24-oz. cowboy steak. Brave appetites may even challenge Bill "Klondike" Hedge and other front-runners for a spot on the "Rib-eye Record." Just consume a 120-oz. cut to get into the top five! If you've still got an appetite after that, sample Snickers pie or Texas praline cheesecake.

Providing complements are the wine list's many Californian and European labels. N.B.
