Durango Oak Fire Steakhouse
Durango Oak Fire Steakhouse was named "Best Steakhouse" several times by Florida Today magazine, according to Durango's website. While Durango Steakhouse specializes in oak fire-grilled steaks, menu items also include chicken, pork and seafood. Unlike other restaurants that offer only a handful of margaritas to choose from, Durango's menu includes a whopping 28 varieties of margaritas. Decorated in an Old West style, the casual, family-style restaurant's warm and inviting atmosphere is achieved by the comfortable booths and wood tables, dim lights and low-playing music.

Makoto Seafood & Steakhouse of Japan
Before there was Makoto's Ginger Dressing, there was the Makoto Seafood and Steakhouse of Japan in Melbourne, Florida. In fact, according to the company's website, customers' requests for the ginger dressing recipe convinced the company to begin offering the dressing in local stores, and now at retailers across the country. Makoto's opened its doors in 1985 and continues to serve sesame chicken, beef kabobs and teriyaki chicken at its steakhouse located just a couple of blocks from the beach. Chefs prepare many items table-side on hibachi grills, and the restaurant recently added a sushi bar. Makoto's is open for both lunch and dinner, and children eat free on Sundays.
