The Met or Daniels for steak though Ruth's Chris is never a bad option. Lowry's in L.A. is an old fav

 

Z Tejas for fusion, sort of SW meets TexMex to make a whole new taste all its own. Mesa Grill rocks also

 

3rd Floor Fish Cafe in Kirkland(home of the NFC Champs!) is can't miss for seafood and more, God I love this place.

 

That said I'm ALWAYS on the lookout for the better Grinder, Teriyaki and hole in the wall breakfast cafe in my travels in and around the NW. With these types, usually the smaller the establishment the better the food is in terms prep, service and quality

most of my favorites are local independent private establishments, good but affordable. like benny's cantina (mexican, great green chile), el taco de mexico (really authentic mexican), cafe de brazil, tommy's thai, edgewater inn and lil' ricci's for pizza, a place called red dragon for chinese, 3 or 4 different great sushi places, racine's for breakfast.

 

as i posted in another thread, i went to roy's (hawaiian fusion) in dallas a couple weeks ago and was very impressed on every level. wish they had one in denver. there aren't really any other chain places i like all that much, but carrabba's and pf chang's are pretty good.

there used to be a roy's in cherry creek... went under maybe 2-3 years ago. i also like chang's for a franchise.

 

my favorite chinese are the little neighborhood ones (sf)... been hard to find moderately decent asian up here :D

there's a chinese restaurant called the imperial down here (broadway and alameda) that would probably please you. and tommy's thai on east colfax has been one of my favorites since high school. but by and large, the asian places in this area are pretty formulaic...the best you can really hope for is GOOD formulaic, if that makes sense.
