Rainwater's on Kettner

Frommer's Review

Venerable, locally owned, and the power lunch choice of more than a few downtown business types and politicos, Rainwater's breaks no new ground in the steakhouse wars, but that's one of the reasons this spot is dependable. Lunch options include expectedly robust sandwiches and burgers, but you'll also find a good selection of entree salads. The restaurant's claim to fame is as an East Coast-style chophouse, and so the big hitters are rolled out for dinner: prime rib-eye, prime T-bone, and even a prime New York strip for two, all expertly chosen and grilled to your specifications. The dinner menu also includes rack of lamb, pork chops, a selection of seafood, and pasta entrees. The spectacular wine list specializes in large-bottle formats and trophy labels, but still finds room for eclectic picks under $50.
