Old Homestead has a $45 dollar hamburger. So does Michaels in midtown.
I've only been to a couple of those restaurants. Ruby Foo's is good, but crowded and has the blinky Times Square rubbish. If Atlantic Grill is the place downtown by the Seaport, it's a shithole. Looks like a cafeteria. Smith & Wollensky's is not a good steak restaurant. Probably my least favorite of the big NYC steakplaces. But none of the good ones are on that list.
I haven't been to Ono, but Hotel Gansevort is pretty cool; has a nice bar upstairs with a sweet view. I'd imagine it's a nice restaurant, or at least nice looking.
Tao is supposed to be good as is Town. I don't eat sushi, but I've heard Sushi Samba's name enough. I think Rain is a really exclusive lounge
