When I lived in Pasadena my favorite place to go to was the Beckham Grill for lunch or an early dinner. I go early enough to get an outside cut. British style so you get the yorkshire pudding, creamed spinach and creamed corn.

I've been to many steakhouse over the years so hard to really single any out as over the top. The higher-end steakhouses I usually don't get prime-rib.
