Pellana Prime Steakhouse
Peabody
It’s easy to treat yourself at this elegant spot—from the bone-in filet mignon to the prime porterhouse, every single cut is carefully sourced and aged, then seared to perfection. Add a side of Parmesan Truffle Fries or creamed spinach and ask for a bottle of wine from the extensive list—the restaurant has grabbed the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence 10 times.

La Fina
Andover
Only the best cuts of prime grade beef make it to the table here, wet aged, seasoned with a house-specialty rub, and then cooked in a broiler that reaches a blazing 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit. Want to really impress? Order the majestic 48-ounce porterhouse for two—and get it topped with one of the “chapeaus”—add-ons like butter-poached lobster tail or jumbo lump crabmeat. Sides are just as indulgent—try the cauliflower gratin, baked with Mornay sauce and Gruyere cheese.
