This upscale beef-eater's paradise bills itself as "not your daddy's steakhouse." Stellar seafood is on the menu, too. Stars including Beyoncé, Drew Barrymore and the Beckhams tie on the feedbag while a DJ spins. "The food is amazing, and they have great music," Conrad says. "I like to go there for dinner with friends and then head next door to Coco de Ville (sister nightspot)."
