Oakland

From Vic Stewart's railroad room to the East Bay's 680-corridor chophouses.

East Bay steak, across the valley: Vic Stewart's railroad-themed dry-aged prime, Danville's Forbes Mill, the Walnut Creek anchors, and Skates on the Berkeley Marina. Tables spanning the hills where dinner is worth the drive.

An upscale Danville chophouse, prime dry-aged steaks, a deep wine list and a buzzy bar.
