We met another couple pre-cruise at the Tara Steak and Lobster House. It was a nice place, with fabulous service and excellent beef, along the lines of Ruth Chris. Pricey, but worth it if that is the type of place you enjoy. HUGE and deep wine list! They know their stuff.

Ruth Chris Steakhouse is excellent, very upscale, we ate there last week Saturday night at the Sand Lake Blvd location in Orlando, FL not too far from Universal Studios.

Shula's Steakhouse at the Sheraton Yankee Trader Hotel on Ft. Lauderdale Beach is also excellent, as is Trinas' a little higher up the beach. 15th St Fisheries I've been told is also very good.
