				| Hollywoods and the Wolfhound have decent steaks.  Go on base to the Navy club if you can... 
 Tonite is cheap nite for ribs though so hit Sam Ryans.
 
 mmmm beef...
 
 VIPS filet is fine and if you are so inclined buy it raw and cook it up at home from a bucher or cosco or whereever.
 
 Australian Beef is good!!

				| I don't know if it is the best, but it was the best I had. Can't remember the name. It is on that strip of restaurants behind the Hamilton Hotel. Walking towards Three Alley Pub it would be on your left before Three Alley Pub. It is small, and mostly painted black with a lot of old portrait paintings on the back wall (touched up in a funny way on a closer look). Definitely pricey, but great. The chef goes so far as to have one item require a 24 hour advance reservation. They charge by the gram. Some items can only be only rare to medium rare, but most to liking. |  |

 That place cooks good steak but the time I went they only had an extremely limited supply on hand.  No filet mignon whatsoever, and the steaks are pre-cut and you pay by weight, so the cheapest steak available was 100,000.  Honestly, I was a lot happier with the standard steak I get at Le Saint Ex.  I also saw them turn away three groups of walk-ins the night I was there, and the restaurant was empty save for my girlfriend and I (note, this was a Saturday).  That place has a lot of potential, but going into a restaurant and being told that half the menu isn't available isn't exactly a great experience.  I wouldn't bother with it unless they get their shit together.
 
 I had some banquet steak at the Grand Hyatt that was pretty awesome as well, so I can only imagine that their a la carte items are even better.

				| I'm on the northway bandwagon when it comes to discussing food in Itaewon. But he divulges too much information  |  |
