The Tobacco Company
Most Richmonders consider the Tobacco Company to be a local institution. The restaurant takes its name from its location inside an old tobacco warehouse, and its four stories of dining are connected by an antique exposed elevator. While not a steakhouse in name, the Tobacco Company's diverse menu is highlighted by the filet mignon and the Jamaican jerk-seasoned ribeye steak. Any of the steak options can be enhanced with options like gorgonzola crumbles or jumbo lump crabmeat. Reservations recommended.

Morton's The Steakhouse
Not far from the aforementioned Tobacco Company, Morton's is part of a national chain of fine dining steakhouses. Specialties include the porterhouse steak and the double cut filet mignon. For the less voracious, Morton's also offers so-called "slightly smaller" steaks, including the filet oskar, topped with crab meat and hollandaise sauce. Parking can be difficult in this area, but a walk through the Bottom or along the nearby canal makes for a complete night on the town. Reservations recommended.
