Any good place to eat (steak) in down town san diego?

I will be staying at the hyatt in down town san diego and need some tips on where to find the best steak house in down town, or any great restaurants that you may know that arent steak houses.Any good place to eat (steak) in down town san diego?
I have been to a bunch of them. I'll rank them for you ...



1. Morton's - the best by FAR, as a previous answer also noted. It is on J street, pretty close to your hotel.



2. Rainwater's on Kettner - Nice atmosphere, but not as good as Morton's in my opinion.



3. Ruth's Chris - Noisy, good food, and expensive. It's on the embarcadero by the Cruise Ships, so it also has a nice view.



4. Flemings - This place sucks (I went there for the first time this past Sunday, also my last). The food was good, the service was terrible, and every bit as expensive as Mortons. I guess you can take the waiter out of Outback, but you can't take Outback out of the waiter! If you're still interested in going to this noisy cesspool, it's on 4th and K.



There are others, but these are all reasonably close to your hotel. Enjoy your stay!
All the obvious ones-Mortons, Ruth's Chris, Flemings, The Plam-but a SD native that you migh tlike is Rainwater's on Kettner (downtown by the train station) or Bertrand's at Mister A's (Bunker Hill)-hands down the best for food AND view!Any good place to eat (steak) in down town san diego?
Carvers
The Strip Club, but make reservations.
Steaks:



MORTON'S (a chain, but clearly the best)--plus you're right in the Gaslamp and can walk across the street to Red Pearl for some amazing cocktails)

LOU AND MICKEY'S

FLEMING'S

THE PALM

LG's Prime Steakhouse

RUTH'S CHRIS (you can go to in any major city, the one here isn't anything to write home about because when you are finished w/ dinner you still have to cab it back to the Gaslamp.)



GREAT RESTAURANTS: The Oceanaire Seafood Room is exceptional beyond description.
There is a plethora of good restaurants in downtown.



Mortons

Blue Point

Top of the Market

Strip House

Dakota

Sushi Deli

On Broadway
That depends on what kind of steak you are looking for...

Mortons is just a classic and very delicious...i love the lobster bisque there too...just a side note.



The best double filet mignon i have eaten though was at LG's steakhouse on 6th and F i believe. It was simply phenomenal...like mouth watering good...



Now Rei Do Gado on 4th and Broadway (across from horton plaza) is a brazilian steakhouse that is all you can eat and quite delicious as well (i recommend ordering a caipirihna drink as well)...
hyatt you rich, try the Dakota Grill on 5th Avenue
My favorite downtown restaurants are not steak houses. they are

1) Rama Thai at 327 4th street, the best thai downtown, and

2) Indigo Grill in Little Italy, a southwestern eclectic run by Chef Debra Scott, one of San Diego's finest.

If you must have a great steak, I recommend taking a cab to Harbor Island (near the airport), and going to Island Prime - better than any of the chains for steak.
