11. Gramercy Tavern, New York
18. Jean Georges, New York
24. The Ivy, London
28. The Cliff, Barbados
35. Spago, Los Angeles
40. Balthazar, New York

I've been to these and by far the most memorable for me was the Gramercy Tavern in New York City. I loved this place but that's probably got as much to do with the company that particular evening (and maybe more the after prom - if ya get my drift) than for the actual meal.

Outside of that the only other place that stands out is The Cliff in Barbados but that's because of the ambiance/atmosphere. It's right on the water and I had the best surf & turf combo. I think the fish was grouper and the beef was two fold: an 8 oz filet mignon and a single braised short rib. Absolutely fabulous!

The others were all good but in the grand scheme of things -- as the original poster mentioned perhaps a pizza is just as good depending on circumstance and company.
