FINE DINING
1. Brio Tuscan Grill: Walking into Brio is like walking into a Tuscan villa, right down to the arched columns and plaster walls. Choose from steaks to flatbreads prepared in an authentic wood-burning oven.
2. The Cheesecake Factory: With more than 250 items made from scratch daily, the Cheesecake Factory menu literally has something for everyone. Of course, you have to save room for one of the restaurant's signature 50 cheesecakes, like salted caramel or s'mores.
3. Choe's Asian Gourmet: Exclusive to The Greene, this eatery features a fusion of Thai, Chinese and Japanese dishes. Start with sashimi or nigiri, followed by Szechwan or curried chicken. Plus, there's a full sake bar.
4. Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar: For special evenings, pair a filet mignon or aged ribeye with truffle-poached lobster or spicy shrimp. Choose from one of the bar's 100 wines by the glass.
5. McCormick & Schmick's: Try over 30 kinds of fresh seafood -- from Alaskan halibut to Chesapeake Bay blue crabs. The menu is updated twice daily, as fresh shipments arrive. Meat lovers can choose a sirloin or filet, too.
