DELRAY BEACH. A gleaming dark wood bar, rich velvet curtains and the glow of candlelight give this dining room a romantic, luxurious atmosphere. From a raw bar to wood oven flatbread to premium steak and fish, the kitchen presents all the goods expected at a fine steakhouse, plus some. Global influences are evident in the menu, which offers several Italian-inspired veal dishes, as well as the Asian tuna mignon with vegetable stir fry, Wasabi onion rings and soy mustard butter.

WEST PALM BEACH. Tuxedo-clad waiters set the tone for a Midwest classic that's staked a claim on the Atlantic coast. Known for tableside presentations (yes, that's a live lobster on the cart), this steakhouse is famous for its 24-ounce porterhouse and its hearty portions. Sides must be ordered separately at additional cost, and the menu offers seafood, chicken, and veal for those who don't relish red meat. The menu provides wine recommendations to complement entrees. Expectedly, the atmosphere is plush, and Sinatra croons in the background to add to the whole experience. Reservations recommended.
