Seafood- Ocean's Prime. $$$ but outstanding. In Uptown, cab away. Mexican- Javier's. Uptown again. Steaks- Bob's Steak and Chop House. Sports Bar- New place in the Omni. Not been there but looks cool. Burgers-Maple and Motor. Expect a line.
Hope that helps.

la calle doce in lakewood, mexican seafood, 10 mins from downtown, 90% of the time i recommend it everytime.
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

There are a lot of great recommendations on this list.
Whenever I go to an unfamiliar place I get on Yelp from my iphone or Yelp.com and search for restaurants around my current location. It helps because you can limit your search by cuisine, location, cost, rating, or all of the above. My wife and I love Yelp.
I love Al Bernait's but a dinner for two can run over $300. Best steak I ever had though.

Ended the conference but hit these places: Maple and Motor - very good, went with a bacon cheeseburger with fried egg. Campisi's - great, had the Soprano special. Del Frisco's - excellent, had small filet that was very tender. Best mashed potatoes ever...but the deserts...WOW...all great, but the Nutella Bread Pudding is the real deal.
