Cut: A Classic Steakhouse with a Contemporary Twist

Filed under: Dining

Wolfgang Puck is credited with redefining fine dining in America. Indeed, the award-winning Austrian-born chef and celebrated restaurateur has built a vast restaurant empire with locations around the world, beginning with his flagship Spago, which opened in 1982 (famous for its haute cuisine pizzas), and later Chinois and Postrio Bar & Grill, among many others. His trademark dishes have revolutionized the culinary industry.

In 2006, Puck opened Cut, a sleek, innovative and contemporary steakhouse complete with a lounge called "sidecar", located in the Richard Meier-designed Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons' Hotel in the heart of Beverly Hills. After only one year in operation, the restaurant earned a coveted one star ranking from the Michelin Guide--no small accomplishment. Beloved by its many patrons, Cut has been nominated for a Luxist Readers' Choice Award for Best Steakhouse.

One if by Land, Two if by Sea is nominated for a Luxist Award for Most Romantic Restaurant

There are romantic restaurants, and then there's One if by Land, Two if by Sea. If you spend an evening at this New York eatery, you're likely to see at least one man get down on one knee and propose---part of the reason this spot is a Luxist nominee in the most romantic restaurant category.

Nestled on a quiet street in Manhattan's chic West Village, One of by Land, Two if By Sea is located in a building that once served as Aaron Burr's carriage house. Crackling fireplaces and sparkling chandeliers light the restaurant's dim and intimate dining rooms; fresh roses rest on every table, and on most nights an experienced pianist tickles the ivory in the front room.
