"Wild Ginger is a great option if you're looking to ease into sushi with cooked and fried rolls. The Crazy Cow roll gets a special mention for trying something, well, crazy — putting filet mignon on sushi — and pulling it off.

"Sperry’s has an unmistakable old school vibe about it, which makes sense—it’s been dishing up traditional steakhouse fare since 1974.
