Favorite Seattle Steakhouses & new ones to try

I just made the acquaintance of David Robins via the University of Washington class we were both taking this past quarter. We also seem to share dietary proclivities and I promised to post a note on my favorite Seattle-area steakhouses.

My current favorite is the Capital Grille in Seattle. My wife and I first stumbled into the Minneapolis version of this restaurant and had a marvelous meal. The first visit we made was marred by goofy service, but that's been fixed and the steak has always been my favorite.

A very close second is Daniel's Broiler. I've never had a bad meal at one of these; the Bellevue location is especially nice.

Others I like: Jak's Grill (though the Issaquah location can be too noisy for my wife and me at dinner), The Metropolitan Grill ... Morton's is also good, and deserves an extra mention for booking us
a reservation at Daniel's in Bellevue when we couldn't get across the bridge to their restaurant due to a traffic jam.

Ones I want to try next: John Howie's in Bellevue and 21 Central in Kirkland.

Bon apetit!
