If you are looking at Steakhouses, you can try Rodriguez, Noya, Red Heifer, RYU, Joy, or Herzl.

I just ate at a new burger joint called Haburgerim. Best burger I've had here so far. They have thick burgers and sliders as opposed to those frozen patties. The place is small (I had to sit outside in the cold), and the service was a bit slow(they are new) but they're extremely friendly.They gave us fries to munch on while we waited.
