best steak in charlottesville?

Posted on June 25, 2007

My birthday is coming up (Thursday!), and I’m trying to decide where I’d like to eat. I generally don’t order steaks when I go out because I feel that I can grill an excellent steak myself, but I’m thinking for my birthday I’d like to try one of the local steakhouses that offer USDA Prime cuts of meat. They’re generally hard to come by as an individual.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Off the top of my head, I can only think of Aberdeen Barn and Downtown Grille, and I haven’t been to either. Would you recommend one of those or is there some super-awesome place that I’m not aware of.

Maybe I should just go to Outback. Mmmmmm… Outback.

    The Cuban Steak at C&O is terrific, and is a different preparation than most people use at home. I am not a fan of the Downtown Grill. I am a fan of Outback. And of the Ivy Inn, which also has fantastic steak.

    I <em>love</em> Oxo’s steak.
