Union Trust: Supreme Steaks

January 29, 2013 by

If you’re on the hunt for a steak cooked to absolute perfection, make a reservation at Union Trust. This independent steakhouse is one of the best in Philadelphia, boasting grass-fed beef, line-caught seafood, and a flabbergastingly good raw bar. This is a mode of dining that has a serious history and tradition, and the staff at Union Trust embraces it. The dining room is large, but designed in a way to give diners maximum comfort and privacy. Service is attentive and utterly professional, and the waiters are extremely informed about the kitchen’s offerings. Union Trust's menu is well-constructed, with special attention going to the beef. You have your choice of Angus beef or 28-day dry aged, in a number of cuts. A variety of sauces and toppers are available – go for the black truffle butter, as it adds tremendously to the steak. Union Steak's raw bar delivers oysters by the dozen, but try one of the seafood towers if you really want to splurge. Union Steak is one of the best dining destinations in all of Philadelphia.

Butcher and Singer: Fresh Cuts in Center City

October 23, 2012 by

If you’re ready to treat yourself to a truly spectacular steak, get a table at Butcher and Singer. This Rittenhouse Square institution is a tribute to the days of old Hollywood glamour and intrigue, with dark wood walls, mood lighting, and plenty of privacy afforded to diners, whether they be dining romantically or hashing out business deals. The cocktails are creative and well-composed, and the wine list is quite impressive. But, of course, you go here for the steaks, and they don’t disappoint. A variety of cuts are available cooked to perfection, no matter how rare or charred you want it. Where other steakhouses offer a variety of sauces or toppings, Butcher and Singer prefers to let the meat speak for itself. If you’re not feeling like a steak, the menu offers a variety of seafood options as well, including a great swordfish filet in herb butter. Sides are uniformly excellent, with special praise going to the classic creamed spinach.

The Capital Grille: Sensational Steaks in Philadelphia

September 11, 2012 by

Located on Philadelphia’s Avenue of the Arts, the Capital Grille is an old-fashioned steakhouse with respect for tradition. The steakhouse experience is a quintessentially American one – big slabs of beef, carefully-selected sides, and an atmosphere of power and respect are all mandatory. The Capital Grille delivers on all three ably. This is a high-end restaurant that is perfect for a splurge, so come prepared to shell out serious coin in exchange for amazing food. Service is absolute perfection, with knowledgeable, attentive waiters at your beck and call. Start the meal with a cocktail from the fantastic bar and then peruse the menu. Obviously the big draw here is the steaks – dry-aged and cooked to order, they’re among the best steaks in Philadelphia. But there’s plenty of other good stuff on the menu as well. The Kobe beef carpaccio is incredible, as is the lobster bisque. Fans of surf & turf will find a lot to love here as well. If you still have room for dessert, don’t miss the flourless chocolate espresso cake.
