With the recent openings of Craftsteak and the slightly more under-the-radar Staghorn, plus Wolfgang's Tribeca slated for July, you've got a glut of new steakhouses to rate. Because judging a steakhouse's worthiness is more science than art, we compiled this handy scoring system. Please use it in poor health.
