In this case, bigger is necessarily better - BRAND Steakhouse's Ultimate Steak is a gargantuan feast for six: a 120 oz. porter-house, sliced off the bone and served back on, plus two divine house-made sauces and two sides; if you wish a hearty portion for two, try the 40 oz. size. Big appetites will also appreciate the Brand Seafood Platter, a full-on ocean feast with oysters, clams, crab, shrimp and lobster. Complementing it all is a 200-label red wine list, with particularly nice selections of Shirazes and Pinot Noirs. Chef Brian Massie's delectable bon-bons are the perfect light dessert for those looking to sate their sweet tooth. At the Monte Carlo. 730.6700.
