Los Angeles

Opening Friday in the old Crudo space, this classy-but-budget steakhouse toes the line between elegant (in-house grand piano, candle-lined walls) and deco (stained-glass-studded exhibition kitchen), offers a rotating $5 martini menu, and plates entrees like pasta w/ white truffle shrimp and six cuts of beef including filet mignon and a New York strip, all for under $25. All steaks also include three sides (two veggies and one starch, under which to hide the two veggies, in order to get a peek at the dessert menu).
