"Brass Ram is the rare steakhouse where you don’t need to eat steak. You can, and probably should (the dry-aged côte de boeuf is incredible), but hear us out. If you’re dining solo, sit at the bar and order a strong, briny Gibson sporting dill-caper vermouth and A Burger Like I Had in Paris That One Time a While Ago—the thick, juicy patty is topped with jammy caramelized onions, port salut, and melted raclette. Or bring friends and request the slow-roasted prime rib, which is cured for 24 hours and available in four cuts. We like the Duke, a hefty slab that’s deep-pink and sliced to share, so everyone can stab their preferred piece and dunk the meaty morsels into the accompanying jus or the mild horseradish cream." - kevin gray
