Named after the Gibson martini (garnished with an onion), this steakhouse celebrates all things big and brawny. Says owner John Colletti: "We're known for big martinis, big steaks and big desserts." Indeed, the restaurant's 24-ounce porterhouse speaks for itself. There are also walloping desserts, including fresh strawberry shortcake and the chocolate-nut-and-caramel "turtle" treat.
