Readers' Choice: Who Has The Best Steak?

Where's the beef? You tell us.

We've found a lot of local restaurant menus that feature some great steaks, but where's the best place to get a steak?

Is it the 10-ounce Angus top sirloin at Max's Cafe? Or the Brandt beef Kansas City steak at Picco? What about the Double Porterhouse steak with a side of Special Spinach at Marin Joe's?

Every backyard griller and professional chef has their own secret to cooking the perfect steak. Maybe it's the cut, a marinade, or the side dish that really makes your tastebuds sing.

Well, here's your chance to vote for your favorite restaurant steak. If you think we missed your favorite, let us know as soon as possible so we can include it in the voting.

We included only restaurants that permanently feature steak on their menus, excluding steak sandwiches. Here's the list, with links where available so you can get more details on each one and rate your favorites:

• Brick & Bottle

• Il Fornaio

• Left Bank

• Marin Joe's

• Max's Cafe

• Pacific Cafe (Kentfield)

• Restaurant Picco

• Tavern at Lark Creek

• Vis a Vis

• Yankee Pier

We hope you enjoy this week's contest. Have fun by voting one time only in the poll, and we have a great way for you to show some love for your favorite business here as well. Give them a great review and a positive rating on their Patch Directory page.

The poll goes away after a few days, but the positive reviews and ratings stay forever with your favorite business — plus they count heavily in the contest judging too!

The poll is open through 9 a.m. Friday. The winner will be revealed Friday afternoon.

Thanks for voting.
