Cleaver
A steakhouse with enough personality to avoid feeling ceremonial.
Why it’s in The Know
Cleaver delivers the familiar steakhouse promises—serious cuts, seafood, dark atmosphere and cocktails—but with enough personality to make the night feel less formal. The bone marrow, scallops and lobster mac and cheese give the table reasons to explore beyond a single steak.
The kind of steakhouse night that starts before the entrée.
The room sets an upscale but inviting tone, and the service stays attentive without hovering. That matters when the best version of dinner includes a recommendation from the cocktail list, something decadent for the middle and a steak cooked exactly as ordered rather than rushed toward the table.
