Greg's Steakhouse

Description:

• Some locals insist that no elected official in Bermuda would retain his or her office without regular appearances at Greg's Steakhouse. Its location across the street from Bermuda's House of Assembly makes it convenient to the gears and machinery of government, and as such, you're likely at one time or another to see virtually everyone that matters in the close-knit, clubby infrastructure known as Bermuda politics. Although the chefs prepare other dishes, including seafood and a delectable rack of lamb, most diners come here for grilled steaks, seafood, stiff drinks, and perhaps to gauge the mood of the island gossip. With its tones of saffron yellow and exposed hardwoods, and its theatrical view of the busy kitchens, it evokes a stylish urban bistro. The kitchens feature only certified Angus beef, and it's not only aged to perfection but also well flavored, perfectly cooked, and tender -- the best steaks on the island. Other pleasing dishes include fresh Bermuda rockfish seafood ravioli in an herb-flavored butter sauce, and pasta primavera. Only the shellfish is exorbitant -- most of the other dishes fall into the lower and middle areas of the price range noted.
