Graycliff's Brazilian steakhouse is a rousing success on all fronts. First, there's the food. You choose from a never-ending parade of well-seasoned rotisserie-roasted meats like pork tenderloin, filet mignon, rack of lamb, sirloin steak and more. The accompanying salad bar is more like a buffet, laden with appetizers, sides and vegetable dishes. Then there's the wine. Graycliff has a world-renowned wine cellar with some 250,000 bottles spanning every price range. And the cigars ­ about 90 varieties, many of which are made right on the premises. Finally there's the service. In true Graycliff fashion, service is flawless from start to finish.

A small chain with locations in Mexico and the Caribbean, Senor Frog's caters mostly to tourists, functioning as a festive family friendly restaurant by day and a lively nightclub by night. The menu is big, with enough choice to please everyone, even kids. The unique Mexican Shrimp Cocktail is fabulous, and south of the border salads are hearty and satisfying. In addition to specialties like Winter Sabana (a thin beef filet covered with refried beans, salsa verde and Monterey Jack, served with a side of tortillas), there are a few American favorites as well, such as steaks, burgers and ribs. Tuesday, Friday and Saturday nights Senor Frog's welcomes live bands, and other nights there's karaoke or a DJ, but whatever the entertainment, you can be sure the crowd will be dancing and partying til the wee hours.
